  • Light sensor and decay-time scanner
    Patent number: 11307136
    Abstract: The disclosed scanner for detecting a decay time of light emitted by a luminescent material has a control unit operable to adapt the drive current, or the value of the drive voltage, powering its light source to accordingly adapt the intensity of excitation light delivered to the luminescent material so that its high sensitivity light sensor can reliably measure the luminescence light emitted in response to the excitation light, and thus accurately determine a corresponding decay time value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 19, 2022
    Assignee: SICPA HOLDING SA

  • Remotely powered remotely adjustable gastric band system
    Patent number: 9192501
    Abstract: A remotely adjustable remotely power gastric band system may include a control device, an implant electronic device, and an implantable gastric band. The control device may telemetrically power and communicate with the implant electronic device, which may be used for adjusting the diameter of the implantable gastric band. The implant electronic device may store the gastric band adjustment history records of a patient and regulate the power received from the control device. To improve transmission efficiency, the implant electronic device may adopt a double modulation scheme for communicating with the control device. Furthermore, the implant electronic device may detect and resolve motor blockage issues related to the implantable gastric band.
