Patent number: 11896827Abstract: An electrotherapeutic device for treating a visual disease using microcurrent stimulation is provided. The device includes a signal generator in which a waveform controller digitally controls a waveform signal source so as to generate a waveform in which one or more waveform parameters (e.g., pulse width, pulse period, pulse position, pulse coding, peak current amplitude, duty cycle, and/or pulse shape) are varied in accordance with a protocol for treating a visual disease. The device also includes an applicator connected to the signal generator and configured to apply the waveform to at least one stimulation point within an eye region.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2017Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: MacuMira Medical Devices Inc.Inventor: George D.

Patent number: 6879667Abstract: A voice gateway (18) in a telecommunications network (1) includes a plurality of telephony port modules (102). Each telephony port module (102) receives telephony voice signals from a public switched telephony network (13). Each telephony port module (102) includes one or more digital signal processors (110) that perform one or more processing functions on the telephony voice signals. A particular telephony port module (102) may receive a telephony voice signal and use its associated digital signal processor (110) to process the received telephony voice signal or transfer the received telephony voice signal for processing to any digital signal processor (110) on any telephony port module (102). Telephony signals may also be transferred for processing to digital signal processors (110) on another voice gateway (18) in a voice gateway system.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2002Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: General Bandwidth Inc.Inventors: A. J. Paul Carew, Anthony H. Anconetani, I. Steve Gerson, George D. O'Brien, Jr., Matthew A. Pendleton, Peter J. Renucci, Donald L. Sparks, Robert H. Whitcher

Patent number: 6275735Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing microcurrent stimulation therapy to a body part is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method allows digital control of the modulation frequency of the microcurrent signal. The method includes receiving a first digital data word which is used to produce a first frequency related to the first digital data word, whereupon, a first microcurrent signal at the first frequency is applied to the body part. A second digital data word is received and used to produce a second frequency related to the second digital data word. A second microcurrent signal at the second frequency is applied to the body part. In another embodiment, a method allows direct digital synthesis of the microcurrent stimulation signal. A first digital data word is used to produce a first analog voltage which is applied to the body part.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1999Date of Patent: August 14, 2001Assignee: BionErgy Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: John B. Jarding, George D. O'Clock

Patent number: 6035236Abstract: An apparatus for supplying an electrical signal to a body part in order to provide microcurrent stimulation therapy to the body part. The apparatus preferably comprises a first sweep wave or sweep frequency signal generator configured to generate a first sweep wave signal, a buffer amplifier circuit configured to receive the first sweep wave signal from the first sweep signal generator and amplify and buffer the sweep wave signal creating a buffered sweep wave signal. In addition, the apparatus preferably includes a current limiting circuit configured to receive the buffered sweep wave signal from the buffer amplifier circuit and limit the amount of current supplied to the body part. Finally, the apparatus preferably comprises a probe for applying the sweep wave signal to the body part. The apparatus may further comprise a second signal generator for generating a second signal which may comprise either a sweep wave signal or a non-sweep wave signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1998Date of Patent: March 7, 2000Assignee: Bionergy Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: John B. Jarding, George D. O'Clock

Patent number: 5454005Abstract: A surface-acoustic-wave correlator for decoding a spread-spectrum signal having a data signal modulated with a plurality of chip sequences and reciprocal-chip sequences. A tapped-delay-line has a plurality of taps defining a tapped-delay-line structure matched to the chip sequence. In response to a plurality of first chips and second chips embedded in the spread-spectrum signal, the tapped-delay line generates TDL-chip sequences and inverse-TDL-chip sequences. A first transducer is acoustically coupled to the tapped-delay-line. In response to the spread-spectrum signal modulated by the chip sequence, the first transducer correlates a first group of the plurality of TDL-chip sequences and inverse-TDL-chip sequences and outputs a first correlation pulse. A second transducer is acoustically coupled to the tapped-delay-line.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 1994Date of Patent: September 26, 1995Assignee: Omnipoint CorporationInventors: George D. O'Clock, Jeffrey S. Vanderpool
