Patents by Inventor Joshua S. Hockett

Joshua S. Hockett 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).

  • Publication number: 20170215940
    Abstract: A method of controlling electric fields created by a plurality of electrodes. The method includes repetitively applying multiple sets of voltages to at least some of a plurality of electrodes over a treatment period to achieve and maintain a target temperature, the at least some of the electrodes being treatment electrodes. The sets of voltages may be in patterns such that a unique current pattern between electrodes is created for each set of voltages, resulting in temperature averaging. The voltage at each electrode may be determined based on a temperature of an adjacent electrode. The voltage at each electrode may also or alternatively be determined based on an estimated voltage at the electrode.
    Type: Application
