Patents by Inventor George Townsend

George Townsend 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: 10729353
    Abstract: An electrode array for EEGs is described that includes a feedback amplifier driving one of the electrodes. Use of the feedback amplifier can eliminate the need to use precisely balanced resistors in a differential amplifier as well as allowing the elimination of a reference electrode and ground electrode.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150109007
    Abstract: A differential amplifier is described that provides a high common mode rejection ration (CMRR) without requiring the use of precisely matched components. One variation employs a method of noise reduction to increase the SNR of the device. The differential amplifier may be used in an apparatus for measuring biopotentials of a patient, such as an electrode for measuring brain activity. The electrodes can communicate the measured biopotentials with a remote system for further processing, while providing electrical isolation to the patient.
