Patents by Inventor Erhard Kisker

Erhard Kisker 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).

  • Patent number: 8321021
    Abstract: A stimulation system, an implantable electrode device and a method for operating an implantable electrode device are proposed. A simplified implantation, a simple construction and reliable control are made possible by the electrode device being supplied with energy, and controlled, in an exclusively wireless manner via a time-variable magnetic field. The magnetic field is generated by an implanted control device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 11, 2008
    Date of Patent: November 27, 2012
    Assignee: Universität Duisburg-Essen

  • Patent number: 8082805
    Abstract: A sensor assembly for measuring or detecting a magnetic field, torsion, or mechanical tension has a magnetic or magnetizable electrically conductive conductor having a first section and thereadjacent a second section in which a helical anisotropy is or can be generated. A dynamical helical magnetization is generated in the first conductor section a dynamic helical magnetization and is transferred to the second conductor section. A voltage in the second conductor section that is generated by the transfer of magnetization from the first conductor section is detected.

  • Publication number: 20080295611
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor array, especially for measuring/detecting magnetic fields and/or torsion and/or mechanical stress, comprising a magnetizable/magnetic, particularly soft magnetic electrically conducting conductor assembly that is provided with a first conductor section in which dynamic, particularly helical magnetization can be generated, and at least one second conductor section in which especially helical anisotropy is or can be generated, magnetization being conveyable from a first into a second conductor section and being detectable by means of a tension generated above a second conductor section because of the magnetization conveyed. The invention further relates to a method for measuring/detecting magnetic fields and/or torsion and/or mechanical stress.
