Patent number: 9833190Abstract: A system, device and method are presented for utilizing stretchable active integrated circuits with inflatable bodies. The invention allows for such operative features to come into direct contact with body structures, such as the inner wall of a lumen. Such direct contact increases accuracy of measurement and delivery of therapy.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2016Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: MC10, Inc.Inventors: Roozbeh Ghaffari, Gilman Callsen, William J. Arora, Benjamin Schlatka

Patent number: 9723122Abstract: A protective case for a wireless electronics device includes one or more output devices integrated with or bonded to the protective case, from which a perceivable output (e.g., visible or audible indication) is generated. Various other electronics (e.g., circuit elements, ICs, microcontrollers, sensors) also may be integrated with or bonded to the protective case to provide power and/or one or more output signals to control the output device(s). In one example, a wireless signal generated by the wireless device is sensed by the integrated electronics, and the output device(s) are controlled based on the detected wireless signal. The protective case may be substantially rigid or at least partially deformable (flexible and/or stretchable), and the integrated electronics similarly may be at least partially deformable such that they may conform with various contours of the protective case and remain operative notwithstanding flexing and/or stretching of the case.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: MC10, Inc.Inventors: Roozbeh Ghaffari, Benjamin Schlatka, Gilman Callsen, Bassel de Graff
