  • Patent number: 11709146
    Abstract: A microfluidic pH-stat with a specially-is designed slide and portable device can be used for point-of-care enzyme diagnostics. The slide includes a microchamber and a substrate for the enzyme being tested. The substrate is homogenized with the sample in the microchamber to form a test volume. The microchamber includes a working microelectrode that injects current to split water in the test volume to generate hydrogen ions and/or hydroxide ions and a micro-pH-electrode to measure a pH of the test volume; the slide also includes a reference microelectrode. The device includes a processor to adjust the injected current based on the pH of the test volume and determine an activity of the enzyme based on an amount the injected current is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 10517540
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for reducing the size of data payloads delivered to downstream processing from a raw series of biological sensor recordings. In one variation, the system comprises a low-power hardware architecture that combines serially sampled neural signal data with a transformation matrix (TFM) using a novel systolic random-logic-macro (RLM) array.

  • Patent number: 10265517
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods herein relate to processing biosignal data. These systems and methods may obtain sensor data from a plurality of electrodes and may also be used to augment cortical function, treat neurological disease, and provide insight and analysis of biological processes and/or clinical therapeutic outcomes. An implantable biosignal processing system may comprise a lead having at least one biosignal sensor configured to transmit biosignal data based on electrophysiological activity of a subject. A first processing system may be coupled to the biosignal sensor and comprise a plurality of analog signal processing circuits configured to be selectively powered based on a selectable treatment mode. A second processing system in communication with the first processing system and may comprise a plurality of digital signal processing circuits configured to be selectively powered based on the treatment mode. A neurostimulator may stimulate tissue according to the set of biosignal characteristics.

  • Patent number: 10164648
    Abstract: A device includes a lock detect circuit that is structured and arranged to: convert a reference clock to a reference triangle wave; convert a feedback clock to a feedback triangle wave; determine whether the feedback triangle wave is within a tolerance margin that is defined relative to the reference triangle wave; and generate a determiner output that is a first value when the feedback triangle wave is not within the tolerance margin, and a second value when the feedback triangle wave is within the tolerance margin.
