Patents by Inventor Heather Diane Orser

Heather Diane Orser 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: 11315682
    Abstract: Techniques are described for real-time phase detection. For the phase detection, a signal is correlated with a frequency component of a frequency band whose phase is being detected, and the correlation includes predominantly decreasing weighting of past portions of the signals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 6, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 26, 2022
    Assignee: MEDTRONIC, INC.
    Inventors: Robert A. Corey, Gregory J. Loxtercamp, Heather Diane Orser, Scott R. Stanslaski, Jadin C. Jackson
  • Publication number: 20220008730
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques for controlling electrical stimulation therapy are described. In one example, a system may be configured to deliver electrical stimulation therapy to a patient, the electrical stimulation therapy comprising a plurality of therapy pulses at a predetermined pulse frequency over a period of time and deliver, over the period of time, a plurality of control pulses interleaved with at least some therapy pulses of the plurality of therapy pulses. The system may also be configured to sense, after one or more control pulses and prior to an immediately subsequent therapy pulse of the plurality of therapy pulses, a respective evoked compound action potential (ECAP), adjust, based on at least one respective ECAP, one or more parameter values that at least partially defines the plurality of therapy pulses, and deliver the electrical stimulation therapy to the patient according to the adjusted one or more parameter values.
