Thermpon Ativanichayaphong 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).

  • Wireless neural recording and stimulating system
    Patent number: 9031658
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for the management of neural activity in an individual. Nerve activity is sensed and correlated with sensations such as pain. In response and without requiring input from the individual, although external input is contemplated, a signal is transmitted to another component for electrical stimulation that alters neural activity. Also, the modulation of the signals between the sensor and stimulator may be modified by a third component independently, independent of, or including user inputs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 14, 2008
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2015
    Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas System
    Inventors: Jung-Chih Chiao, Thermpon Ativanichayaphong, Yuan B. Peng, Ji Wei He
  • Passive wireless gastroesophageal sensor
    Patent number: 8706208
    Abstract: A passive wireless gastroesophageal sensor includes a LC resonance circuit, two or more electrodes and a passive batteryless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) circuit connected to the LC resonance circuit and the one or more electrodes. The electrodes are configured to measure an impedance within a gastroesophageal tract. The passive batteryless RFID circuit transmits a frequency modulated signal using the LC resonance circuit that varies between a first frequency corresponding to a non-acid reflux condition and a second frequency corresponding to an acid reflux condition based on the measured impedance in response to a signal received from a detector.
