Patent number: 10712436Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a sensor holder adapted to float with a bobbing action when partially submerged in a liquid, while maintaining an air pocket within a first open holder end above the liquid, and removably retaining an electronic sensor in a liquid tight compartment disposed within a second holder end submerged in the liquid. In an illustrative example, the holder may be a substantially conical funnel. The open holder end may be, for example, open to the atmosphere, permitting wireless connection with the electronic sensor. In some examples, the holder may slidably retain a float rod adapted to allow the liquid to freely and vertically displace the holder as the liquid level varies. Various examples may advantageously provide automatic adjustment of the holder position to preserve a wireless connection with a retained electronic fishing sensor, maintaining the air pocket above the sensor as the liquid level varies.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Inventors: Alexander Lebedev, Nina Ethel Kaseburg

Publication number: 20200034576Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method includes providing power to a device including a housing, determining an initial impedance at a first time between a first location of the housing and a second location of the housing, measuring a measured impedance at a second time following the first time between the first location of the housing and the second location of the housing, comparing the measured impedance to the initial impedance, and initiating a breach action if the measured impedance is not substantially equal to the initial impedance. A power interruption to the device occurs between the first time and the second time. Measuring the measured impedance includes using a swept voltage or a swept current source.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Applicant: Ragnar Labs Inc.Inventors: Tim Etchells, Alexander Lebedev

Publication number: 20180015308Abstract: A waveguide couples an acoustic source (such as an ultrasound transducer) to a custom cosmetic product (e.g., a liquid or gel-based skin care product) applied to the skin. In one exemplary embodiment, a distal surface of the waveguide is placed in contact with a relatively thin layer of skin care product that has been applied to the skin. Alternatively, the thin layer can be applied to the distal face of the waveguide, and then the waveguide placed on the skin. The custom cosmetic product has been formulated such that when ultrasound energy is directed into the custom cosmetic product via the waveguide, bubbles included or formed in the custom cosmetic product oscillate, and increase the permeability of the skin to active beneficial agents included in the custom cosmetic product.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2017Publication date: January 18, 2018Inventors: Justin REED, Alexander LEBEDEV, Michael LAU, George BARRETT, Irena LEBEDEV

Patent number: 9383444Abstract: A sonar fish finding system includes at least one sonar device which attaches to a fishing line and floats on the water like a fishing bubble, float, or bobber. The at least one sonar device pairs with a wireless computing device over a Bluetooth connection to provide information to a fisherman about what is under the surface of the water proximal to the at least one sonar device. Processing may be performed incrementally on subsets of sonar data samples in order to allow for a complete result without requiring storage of the entire set of data samples at once. The at least one sonar device is configured to send the sonar data samples to a remote computing system either directly or indirectly through a wireless computing device. Based on the received sonar data samples, the remote computing system may send the wireless computing device information about both real-time fishing hotspots, and predicted fishing hotspots based on historical data and current conditions.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Inventors: Alexander Lebedev, Tim Etchells, Nicholas Vallidis, Alan Widmer

Patent number: 8439907Abstract: A catheter for insertion into and treatment of tissue in a patient comprises a radio frequency (RF) electrode having an elongated body that conducts electrical RF energy to a conductive tip. An insulating sleeve surrounds the elongated body. In a first mode of operation, the conductive tip is exposed outside the insulating sleeve and the RF electrode delivers RF energy that erodes the tissue of the patient and creates a tunnel through which the catheter can advance into the tissue of the patient. In a second mode of operation, the insulating sleeve and/or the RF electrode is retracted and a second treatment apparatus treats the tissue.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2008Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Mirabilis Medica Inc.Inventors: David C.

Patent number: 8277379Abstract: A probe having a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) transducer is positioned in a female patient. The HIFU transducer is deployed within the vagina of the patient outside of the cervix and uterine cavity and is configured to direct HIFU energy to a treatment site within the uterus of the patient. An imaging component positioned relative to the patient images a portion of the patient's uterus that includes the treatment site to help guide the delivery of the HIFU energy to the treatment site. A liquid medium may be infused into the uterine cavity of the patient where it is maintained during imaging and delivery of the HIFU therapy. The HIFU transducer produces a thermal heating of tissue at a focus within the treatment site to initiate necrosis of the tissue. The location of the focus is controlled in accordance with an image obtained by the imaging component.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2007Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Mirabilis Medica Inc.Inventors: Michael P. H. Lau, Nelson Teng, Shahram Vaezy, Alexander Lebedev, Michael William Lau, Michael J. Connolly

Patent number: 8187270Abstract: A catheter for insertion into and treatment of tissue in a patient comprises a radio frequency (RF) electrode having an elongated body that conducts electrical RF energy to a conductive tip. An insulating sleeve surrounding the elongated body prevents leakage of RF energy from the elongated body when the catheter is being inserted into the tissue of the patient. In a first mode of operation, the conductive tip is exposed outside the insulating sleeve and the RF electrode delivers first RF energy capable of producing sparks that erode the tissue of the patient and create a tunnel through which the catheter can advance into the tissue of the patient. In a second mode of operation, the insulating sleeve is retracted to expose a portion of the RF electrode. Second RF energy is delivered to the volume of tissue around the catheter to necrotize the tissue by heating without producing sparks.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2007Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Mirabilis Medica Inc.Inventors: David C. Auth, Alexander Lebedev, Michael J. Connolly

Patent number: 8057391Abstract: An apparatus for delivering HIFU energy may include a probe with a plurality of leaves that provide a bowl-shaped HIFU therapy transducer. In once case, pins may slide within grooves in the leaves to deploy the leaves. In another case, spines may be configured to slide in a channel defined in each leaf. In other cases, a spring or a shape memory alloy may be used to deploy the leaves. In another implementation, a probe may be fitted with a flexible material that couples the HIFU therapy transducer to the probe and allows the transducer to be drawn to the side of the probe for insertion. In another implementation, a probe may have one or more inflatable bladders that form the HIFU therapy transducer. In yet another implementation, a probe may have an imaging component and a HIFU therapy transducer disposed thereon that rotate, as a unit, about a hinge.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2008Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Mirabilis Medica, Inc.Inventors: Michael Lau, Shahram Vaezy, Alexander Lebedev, Michael J.
