Abstract: An implantable medical device (“IMD”) configured in accordance with an example embodiment of the invention generally includes a housing, a connector header block coupled to the housing, and a telemetry antenna located within the header block. The header block is formed from a dielectric material, which encapsulates the antenna. The antenna is configured to support far field telemetry with an external device such as a programmer. In one example embodiment, the antenna is formed from a thin round wire, has a feed point on the top perimeter sidewall of the housing, and has a floating endpoint in the header block. The antenna is contoured to form a simple curve in a plane that is approximately parallel with the major sides of the housing.

Abstract: An implantable medical device (“IMD”) configured in accordance with an example embodiment of the invention generally includes a housing, a connector header block coupled to the housing, and an optional telemetry antenna coupled to the header block. The optional antenna assembly is suitably configured to support the intended IMD application (e.g., the desired telemetry range, the intended IMD implant location, or other practical considerations). The optional antenna assembly may be utilized by itself or in cooperation with a permanent telemetry antenna of the IMD. In one practical embodiment, the optional antenna assembly has a connection end that is compliant with known pacemaker electrode lead standards, which allows the IMD to leverage existing connection methodologies.

Abstract: An alignment device and method for aligning an antenna with a satellite. The device includes a grooved cylindrical sleeve inserted into a ridged cylindrical sleeve, a raised azimuth indicator ring and a magnetic or digital compass mounted upon the grooved cylindrical sleeve, and a bubble level mounted on a capped cylindrical sleeve that fits over the grooved cylindrical sleeve. A known value of optimal azimuth alignment is offset from the North Magnetic Pole so that a reference and alignment mark may be placed on the antenna mounting pole. This alignment device and method eliminate the need for two technicians and eliminate the need for a signal strength measuring device.

Abstract: A urinal or incontinence apparatus is disclosed which employs elastic tubular membranes that are opened and closed by collars mounted for coaxial relative rotation. In one embodiment a pair of the membranes are mounted so that when the collars are turned in one rotational sense, one of the membranes is twisted to constrict towards a closed position forming a seal about the penis while the other membrane is twisted so as to expand toward an open position. At the neutral position, elastic counterforces created in the membranes are in balance so that the membranes are held in their partially open positions for insertion or removal. When the collar is moved beyond the neutral position the elastic force in one membrane overbalances that of the other membrane, which is thereby maintained in its sealed position. When removed, the membranes operate by snap action so that one is maintained in its fully closed position preventing leakage from a urine collection bag. In another embodiment a single flexible membrane is attached at its ends to a pair of collars which are threadably mounted together. As the collars are screwed together, the membrane constricts until it reaches its closed position when rotation of the collars is stopped by the threads.

Abstract: A squeegee apparatus including a handle with a magnetic blade receptacle to enable quick blade release and reload. When the squeegee blade becomes dull or damaged, the spent blade is pulled from the handle, and a new blade can be positioned and magnetically pulled into the blade cradle ready for use. An internal LED light source that is actuated by a button located on the handle can be used to illuminate the work space.
