Publication number: 20110208067Abstract: The invention relates to the management of vascular patency by the use of implanted devices delivering one or more energies to a target vascular tissue wherein such energy delivery sources are substantially located in the vicinity of a target vascular region. The invention preferably employs electric currents as energy and utilizes one or more electrodes positioned in the vicinity of a target region and one or more electrodes located elsewhere. Such devices may be useful in the management of stenotic lesion formation adversely associated with a loss of patency in a variety of disease states or conditions, including vascular patency needed for hemodialysis used in the treatment of kidney failure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2011Publication date: August 25, 2011Applicant: PhiloMetron, Inc.Inventors: Carl Frederick EDMAN, Michael Wayne MACCOLLUM, Darrel Dean DRINAN, Naresh Chandra BHAVARAJU

Publication number: 20100100160Abstract: The present invention relates to devices for the sensing of one or more body regions within a larger body zone, and the application of a therapy, preferably photonic therapy, based upon one or more sensor measurements derived from at least one body region. Such applied photonic therapies may be accomplished in an effectively simultaneous fashion while being adjusted independently to each body region. In addition, successive applications of photonic therapy(s) to one or more body regions may be further adjusted based upon one or more successive sensor measurements of the corresponding body regions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2009Publication date: April 22, 2010Applicant: PhiloMetron, Inc.Inventors: Carl Frederick Edman, Naresh Chandra Bhavaraju, Darrel Dean Drinan

Publication number: 20040019292Abstract: The use of this invention relates to the bioelectric impedance method and associated apparatus and systems for the purpose of identification. The bioelectric impedance identification system is comprised of apparatus for generating bioelectric impedance data, storage for storing bioelectric impedance data and comparators for determining whether one set of bioelectric impedance data is the same or different than another set of bioelectric impedance data wherein said sets of data may arise from one or more subjects. The invention has utility in applications in the area of governing access, and the control of this access, e.g. to logic circuitry or control units, (e.g. computers, local area networks, or video game joystick control apparatus), “smart” credit cards (cards containing integrated circuits or chips) or access to facilities, equipment or storage apparatus, (e.g. machinery, rooms, garages or cabinets).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2003Publication date: January 29, 2004Inventors: Darrel Dean Drinan, Carl Frederick Edman
