International Classification:

A61N 1/00

US Classification:

607 40

Abstract:

The present specification discloses devices and methodologies for the treatment of nocturnal GERD. Individuals with nocturnal GERD may be treated by implanting a stimulation device within the patient's lower esophageal sphincter and applying electrical stimulation to the patient's lower esophageal sphincter, in accordance with certain predefined protocols. The presently disclosed devices have a simplified design because they do not require sensing systems capable of sensing when a person is engaged in a wet swallow and have improved energy storage requirements.

International Classification:

H03K017/62

US Classification:

327/408000

Abstract:

A switched current steering device includes a switch activation unit coupled to a set of actual switches and an associated set of dummy switches. Based upon current actual switch states, next actual switch states as specified by a data stream, and current dummy switch states, the switch activation unit selectively generates dummy signals that indicate or specify next dummy switch states. The switch activation unit generates the dummy signals such that the total number of actual switches and dummy switches experiencing state transitions remains constant from one switching cycle to another.

International Classification:

A61N 1/36

US Classification:

607 40

Abstract:

The present specification discloses devices and methodologies for the treatment of diurnal GERD. Individuals with GERD may be treated by implanting a stimulation device within the patient's lower esophageal sphincter and applying electrical stimulation to the patient's lower esophageal sphincter, in accordance with certain predefined protocols. The presently disclosed devices have a simplified design because they do not require sensing systems capable of sensing when a person is engaged in a wet swallow and have improved energy storage requirements.
