Patent number: 10736787Abstract: A method, and apparatus for the controlled acceleration, and/or retardation of the body's inflammatory response generally comprises a foam pad for insertion substantially into a wound site, a heating, a cooling pad for application over the wound site, a wound drape or sealing enclosure of the foam pad, the heating, and cooling pad at wound site. The foam pad is placed in fluid communication with a vacuum source for promotion of the controlled acceleration or retardation of the body's inflammatory response. The heating, and cooling provision controls the local metabolic function as part of the inflammatory response.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: KCI Licensing, Inc.Inventors: Raymond R. Hannigan, James R. Leininger, Charles I. Biltz, Jr., Frank Dilazzaro, Christopher Fashek, Royce W. Johnson, Wayne J. Schroeder

Patent number: 9833185Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting seizures with motor manifestations including detecting EMG signals, isolating from the EMG signals spectral data for a plurality of frequency bands, and calculating a T-squared value there from. The T-squared values may be detected in real time, such as in a patient's home environment, and the T-squared data may be compared to a threshold T-squared value to determine whether an alarm is sent.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: BRAIN SENTINEL, INC.Inventors: James R. Leininger, Russell M. Herring, Michael R. Girouard, Jose E. Cavazos, Edward R. Jones, William E. Broad

Publication number: 20170000404Abstract: A method of detecting seizures may comprise receiving an EMG signal and processing the received EMG signal to determine whether a seizure characteristic is present in the EMG signal during a time window. An apparatus for detecting seizures with motor manifestations may comprise one or more EMG electrodes capable of providing an EMG signal substantially representing seizure-related muscle activity; and a processor configured to receive the EMG signal, process the EMG signal to determine whether a seizure may be occurring, and generate an alert if a seizure is determined to be occurring based on the EMG signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2016Publication date: January 5, 2017Inventors: James R.
