Patents by Inventor Kazunori KURIBARA

Kazunori KURIBARA 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: 11723573
    Abstract: A stretchable raised electrode having a stretch property that can be used as a biological electrode for collecting biological signals while being pressed against a body is provided, and a method of manufacturing the stretchable raised electrode is provided. This raised electrode is a raised electrode formed by raising a surface of a sheet material having the stretch property. This raised electrode includes: a resin layer configured to be stretchable to follow the surface of the sheet material; and a plurality of conductive fibers each having an inserted portion, one end of which is inserted into the resin layer. The conductive fibers that are adjacent to one another are electrically in contact with one another at non-inserted portions into the resin layer, and the conductive fibers are formed in the resin layer so as to have such a density as causing an in-plane isotropic electric conductivity of an electrode region of the sheet material in which the conductive fibers are formed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10376174
    Abstract: In order to provide an electrode equipped with an insulating wall having excellent patterning properties as well as excellent biocompatibility, there is provided an electrode including, on a substrate, an electrode element; and an insulating wall formed around the electrode element, constituted of a polysiloxane compound (component A) having, per molecule, two or more functional groups selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acryloyl group, a styrenic vinyl group, a vinyl ester group, a maleic acid ester group and a maleimide group, and formed from a polymer obtained by reaction of the functional groups.
