Patent number: 11865326Abstract: A multi-functional electrical stimulation (ES) system adapted to yield output signals for effecting faradic, electromagnetic, or other forms of electrical stimulation for a broad spectrum of different biological and bio-medical applications. The system includes and ES signal stage having a selector coupled to a plurality of different signal generators, each generator producing a signal having a distinct shape such as a sine, a square or sawtooth wave or a simple or complex pulse form, the parameters of which are adjustable in regard to amplitude, duration, repetition rate and other variables. The signal from the selected generator in the ES stage is fed to at least one output stage where it is processed to produce a high or low voltage or current output of a desired polarity whereby the output stage is capable of yielding an electrical stimulation signal appropriate for its intended application.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2005Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Innovations Holdings, L.L.C.Inventors: Ewa Herbst, Lisa A.

Patent number: 11048388Abstract: The invention relates to methods and devices to define and control the design of a configurable chip module, instrument or systems, for example, for measurement, control and communication systems or any portion thereof. The module may include one or more chip elements. This can be achieved using, for example, a Graphical User Interface (GUI), that transforms selections made by the user to a hardware and/or software configuration for the system in a process transparent to the user. This enables implementation of a plurality of devices and larger subsystems on a chip or a chip module without specific semiconductor design knowledge from the user. This transformation process is thus accomplished transparently to the user, who operates the GUI to define the measurement or action which needs to be performed, thereby resulting in an automatic combination of hardware and/or software elements available to create a specific configuration.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Innovations Holdings, L.L.C.Inventor: Ewa Herbst

Patent number: 11020597Abstract: Method and apparatus for performing multiple measurements and diagnoses include a data acquisition module, a data processing module, an optional treatment output module, a user control module, and a user display system, where the data acquisition module sends a plurality of measurement data simultaneously to the data processing module. The data processing module provides a plurality of outputs which can be made available to the user or combined in the diagnostic module. A treatment algorithm in the treatment module can affect the patient through a feedback mechanism. In response, the data processing module generates treatment information needed by the treatment output module. In one embodiment, the data acquisition module sends multiple different measurement data relating to one or more diseases to the data processing module. In response to further measurements of the parameters, an effectiveness of the treatment can be determined and the treatment regimen can be modified, as necessary.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2015Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Innovations Holdings, L.L.C.Inventor: Ewa Herbst

Patent number: 8365122Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexible analog/digital configuration, preferably on a chip, that can be used for receiving various inputs, processing those inputs, and displaying/communicating the results and/or providing a response thereto. More particularly, the present invention can measure multiple parameters and, when properly programmed, can easily organize the data from multiple sensors or other analog or digital sources. It can present or display different, or similar, pages for setting up each measurement (or each measured parameter) (e.g., by sensor, class of sensors, etc.) to enable an easy to use approach for individuals without needing to know the specifics as to many parameters. This user-friendly approach can be performed using a configurable chip module system.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2011Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Innovations Holdings, L.L.C.Inventor: Ewa Herbst

Patent number: 7526334Abstract: A technique and apparatus therefor adapted to treat in situ specified tissue, especially a malignant tumor, use being made of electrodes implanted in the tissue at spaced positions. Applied across the electrodes is a voltage causing a current to flow through the tissue to be treated. This current in one embodiment of the invention produces an electrochemical reaction yielding multiple reaction products, some of which are cytotoxic agents destructive of cancer cells, the voltage being regulated to optimize the yield of those agents having the greatest efficacy. In another embodiment, fed to the tissue is one or more reagents which when current flows through the tissue react with the material of an electrode to yield a cytotoxic agent in situ. Alternatively, the surface of the electrode can serve as a catalyst for the formation of the cytotoxic agents.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2003Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: Innovations Holdings, L.L.C.Inventors: Ewa Herbst, Benedict Aurian-Blajeni
