Patent number: 11691016Abstract: Patients with spinal cord injuries have benefited from neurostimulation therapy comprising delivery of electrical stimulation to enable or excite neurological responses using an implantable neurostimulator having an electrode array. Dangerous levels of charge are avoided while providing multiple, simultaneous stimulation waveforms by inducing a short in an electrode when a monitored value reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2019Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: University of Louisville Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Susan J. Harkema, Yangsheng Chen, Claudia Angeli, Douglas J. Jackson, Manikandan Ravi, John Naber, Robert S. Keynton, Thomas Roussel, Saliya Kirigeeganage

Patent number: 11207219Abstract: A clip-on module having a specialized housing design, probe contacts, switches, various advertising modes, and various configurations of signal repeaters is disclosed. The module is utilized via attachment to a specialized garment worn by a human patient. To properly apply the housing to the garment, a user will squeeze the module to open using tactile features embedded within the housing, locate the module, and then press-clamp the module to close and attach it. A plurality of probe contacts within the module have sharpness requirements for penetrating one or more layers of the garment while still maintaining low resistance, and will work with a backing material for probe.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: BioLink Systems, LLCInventors: Roger King, Doug Jackson, John Naber, Jason Heyl

Patent number: 10821034Abstract: Various methods for detecting moisture in briefs compatible with high volume manufacturing are disclosed. The embodiments herein facilitate protection of the method of adding moisture sensing to a diaper, but could also be used to add sensing to pads and bandages. The primary design intent is optimal moisture detection and low per unit cost. Electrodes within a garment measure electrical properties of the electrodes to determine if the item has contacted moisture. The target moisture is urine, however, other sources and types of moisture can also be sensed. Additional analysis capabilities can be added by selecting particular electrodes or add materials that may react with chemical components of the moisture. Applications of the research Include monitor of incontinence using smart brief (e.g. diaper); monitor perspiration, bleeding, or failure of the protective garment; and monitoring exposure of an item to moisture, including but not limited to inanimate items.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: BioLink Systems, LLCInventors: Ken Heyl, Doug Jackson, John Naber, Roger King
