Patent number: 11701144Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for insertion tools for implanting electrode leads. In one embodiment, an insertion tool comprises a shaft having an outer cannula and an inner cannula. An actuator may be configured to transition the insertion tool between at least three configurations. In a first configuration, the inner cannula and the outer cannula are configured to receive the lead in the shaft. In a second configuration, the inner cannula and the outer cannula are configured to secure the lead in the shaft. In a third configuration, the inner cannula and the outer cannula are configured to cause the lead to separate from the insertion tool and implant in adjacent tissue.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Veritas IP, LLCInventors: Daniel Allen McDonnall, Nathaniel Anthony Srok, Christopher Farand Smith

Patent number: 11642232Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for sensor systems. In one embodiment, a system may include an implantable component and an external component. The implantable component may comprise a housing and an electrode array configured to receive a plurality of biopotential signals. The housing may comprise a wireless power receiver and a wireless data transmitter to transmit representations of the biopotential signals. The external component may comprise a wireless data receiver configured to receive the plurality of digital representations of the biopotential signals and a wireless power transmitter configured to provide power to the internal component. A shielding component may separate the wireless power transmitter from the wireless data receiver. An interface may be configured to communicate with a prosthesis and configured to cause the prosthesis to implement a voluntary motion based on the plurality of digital presentations of the biopotential signals.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Ripple LLCInventors: Daniel Allen McDonnall, Scott Darold Hiatt, Brian Scott Crofts, Christopher Farand Smith, Andrew Miller Wilder
