Arthur H. Combs 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).

  • Portable automatic brain state assessment apparatus
    Patent number: 8838227
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing rapid brain assessment may provide emergency triage to head trauma patients by analyzing a combination of spontaneous and evoked brain potentials. The spontaneous and evoked potentials are analyzed, and the results classified, to present a real-time assessment of a patient's brain, diagnosing any potential abnormalities therein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 1, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 16, 2014
    Assignee: BrainScope Company, Inc.
    Inventors: Elvir Causevic, Arthur H. Combs

  • Simultaneous multimodal measurement of physiological function
    Patent number: 6280703
    Abstract: A method of measuring physiological function of a group of body cells, includes the step of selecting a detectable agent capable of absorbing or emitting a measurable electromagnetic emission. The agent is introduced into body fluid which contacts the group of body cells. The absorbance or emission is measured, and physiological function is determined based on measurement of the absorbance or emission. Measurements may be made noninvasively or with the use of a modified pulmonary artery catheter. Multiple agents which can be distinguished from each other can be utilized simultaneously to measure multiple physiological functions at the same time.
