Patents by Inventor Frank Schock

Frank Schock 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).

  • Acoustic pressure wave applicator system with conduction pad
    Publication number: 20080021353
    Abstract: An system and method for applying acoustic pressure waves including a pad coupled with a shock wave applicator coupler. The pad includes a bioactive substance in which shock waves facilitate absorption of the bioactive substance into a target area, such as skin and wounds.

  • Device for producing electrical discharges in an aqueous medium
    Patent number: 6972116
    Abstract: A device for producing electrical discharges in an aqueous medium which comprises a first electrode and a second electrode comprised of a superalloy having a cobalt content of greater than 8% by weight or optionally a nickel content of greater than 8% by weight. A high electrical voltage is applied to the electrodes to produce a voltage discharge into the medium that creates a pressure wave in the medium. The electrodes of the device exhibit high thermal shock resistance during discharge thereby reducing tip burnout.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for generating shock waves
    Patent number: 6666834
    Abstract: A device for generating shock waves, specifically for medical applications, has electrodes arranged in a liquid medium, a high voltage being applied to the electrodes to generate an electrical breakdown. Particles added in powder form are suspended in the liquid medium. In order to maintain the particles in suspension, a thixotropic additive is added to the liquid medium.
