Roberto Amadio has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Precise accurate measurement of the administration of drugs using the injection method by means of ultrasonic pulse-echo principles
    Patent number: 9907902
    Abstract: A dosage control system includes a syringe and a dosage control module. The syringe includes a barrel and a plunger. The plunger includes a plunger seal located within the barrel and the barrel includes an end configured to connect to a needle. The dosage control module measures a first distance between the plunger seal and the end of the barrel, measures at least one second distance between the plunger seal and the end of the barrel, determines whether a predetermined amount of medication has been administered from the syringe based on a difference between the first distance and the at least one second distance, and selectively activates at least one of a visual indication and an audio indication if the predetermined amount of medication has been administered from the syringe.

  • Active transducer probes and circuits
    Patent number: 8854131
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a method for bidirectional signal propagation comprises: a) sensing a voltage level of a first signal at a first port; b) coupling the first port to an output of an amplifier with a solid state switch if the voltage level of the first signal is less than a threshold voltage, whereby a second signal applied to a second port coupled to an input of the amplifier is propagated in a first direction from the second port to the first port; and c) bypassing the amplifier if the voltage level of the first signal is greater than the threshold voltage such that the first signal is propagated in a second direction from the first port to the second port.
