摘要： An implantable pulse generator (IPG) is fabricated by utilizing a lead body with a plurality of conductors enclosed in insulative material along a first length of the conductors, and a second length of the conductors being exposed. A tubular structure is placed over the lead body with the plurality of conductors extending through it. A feedthrough assembly includes a plurality of feedthrough pins surrounded by insular material with a ferrule extending about an outer surface of the feedthrough assembly. The plurality of conductors are attached to the plurality of feedthrough pins and the ferrule of the feedthrough assembly is welded to the tubular structure to form an intermediate assembly. The intermediate assembly is then welded to one or more housing components of the IPG providing a hermetically seal. A connector portion on a distal end of the lead body is provided to electrically connect to terminals of a stimulation lead.

摘要： A furniture member actuation mechanism includes first and second side plates with polymeric inserts each having an elongated slot each receiving a first or second pin. First and second seat back support elements are provided, the first element rotatably coupled to the first side plate and rotatably linked to the first pin and the second element rotatably coupled to the second side plate and rotatably linked to the second pin. First and second leg rest support arms are each connected by a pantograph linkage set to a drive rod disposed through the side plates. A rearward force applied by an occupant to the support elements rotates them rearward with the first and second pins sliding within the elongated slots. An occupant's weight when the rearward force is removed returns the support elements to a pre-rotation position. A cam adjusts a weight a leg rest can hold.
