Abstract: Methods and devices for reducing current spread in nerve stimulation therapy are described herein. The disclosed methods and devices utilize a novel neural conductor placed between electrodes in an implantable medical device. The neural conductor provides a path for the current to pass through rather than allowing current to spread to neighboring tissues. In an embodiment, an electrode assembly for reducing current spread in nerve stimulation therapy comprises a first and a second electrode adapted to be coupled to a target nerve. In addition, the electrode assembly comprises a neural conductor which is spaced apart from the first and second electrodes.

Abstract: A reactor chamber forms part of an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine. Within the chamber are electrodes between which there is disposed a bed of active material through which, in use, the exhaust gases pass. In the presence of an electrical discharge, driven by an electrical voltage applied across the electrodes, the active material has a catalytic action in the reduction of nitrogenous oxides in the exhaust and also acts to remove hydrocarbons from the exhaust gases.
