A training device includes a backpack having a pair of shoulder straps, a rigid backbrace having at least two arms, a pair of lower support members coupled to ends of the rigid backbrace, and a resistance band coupled to each of the pair of lower support members and terminating in a handle.
摘要:
Electrical crosstalk between two implantable medical devices or two different therapy modules of a common implantable medical device may be evaluated, and, in some examples, mitigated. In some examples, one of the implantable medical devices or therapy modules delivers electrical stimulation to a nonmyocardial tissue site or a nonvascular cardiac tissue site, and the other implantable medical device or therapy module delivers cardiac rhythm management therapy to a heart of the patient.

摘要:
An implantable medical device may deliver pacing, cardioversion, and/or defibrillation stimulation to a heart of a patient via extravascular electrodes and delivers electrical stimulation to a nonmyocardial tissue site to modulate the autonomic nervous system of the patient. The implantable medical device may include a cardiac therapy module that generates and delivers at least one of pacing, cardioversion, or defibrillation therapy to a patient via an extravascular electrode, and a neurostimulation therapy module that generates and delivers a neurostimulation signal to the patient via a neurostimulation electrode. The cardiac therapy module and neurostimulation therapy module may be disposed in a common housing of the medical device. In some examples, at least one common lead may electrically couple the neurostimulation electrode and the extravascular electrode to the neurostimulation and cardiac therapy modules, respectively.
摘要:
There is disclosed a method of forming a diffractive authentication device which generates an optically variable image which varies according to the angle of observation. The method comprises the steps of, providing a primary pattern which encodes a latent image, the primary pattern having a plurality of image elements, and providing a corresponding secondary pattern which will decode the primary pattern to allow the latent image to be observed when the primary and secondary patterns are in at least one registration, wherein the secondary pattern is provided by a diffraction grating microstructure having a plurality of each of at least two different types of diffraction elements. The primary pattern is provided such that predetermined image elements of the primary pattern render diffraction effects from predetermined diffraction elements of the diffraction grating microstructure optically ineffective at least at one observation angle when the authentication device is illuminated with a light source to thereby enable the latent image to be observed.
摘要:
A string bending device for stringed instruments and methods of use are claimed. The novel device permits the user to tension a string to change the pitch and tone by means of a tension arm and attached string pad. The string pad is unique in that it possesses an arcuate channel that acts as a string guide and promotes string life by gently bending the string along the arcuate channel and distributing pressure along a length of the string rather than at one point. The device may be repositioned during play so that other strings can be individually bent. The use of a plunger that may be easily disengaged and reengaged during the playing of the instrument allows the tension arm to easily be repositioned by sliding the tension arm along a rail system. Adjustable tension arm stops permit the user to predetermine the maximum tension that can be applied to each string.
摘要:
A circuit for voltage level translation with zero static current is disclosed for interfacing devices at one supply voltage with devices at another supply voltage. The translation is achieved by using a modified current mirror circuit such that the current mirror is effectively turned off when the output reaches a steady state condition.
