Patents by Inventor Keith B. Baldwin

Keith B. Baldwin 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: 11324955
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein include an external base station with a tethered transceiver, an implanted hub that includes power, telemetry, and processing electronics, and a plurality of implanted satellite that contain reconfigurable front-end electronics for interfacing with electrodes. The system can operate in different modes. In a first mode, called a base boost mode, the external base station is used for closed-loop control of stimulation therapies. In a second, autonomous mode, closed-loop control is performed in the hub without direct influence from the base station. In a third mode, streams of neural data are transmitted to an offline processor for offline analysis.

  • Publication number: 20210069697
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for integrating an array of electronic sensors capable of performing trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurements into a microfluidic device that includes a well plate. In some implementations, the sensors can include electrodes that are submerged into fluidically connected wells of the microfluidic device, which can contain an electrically conductive fluid such as the cell culture media or a buffered salt solution. An array of such electrodes can be integrated into a lid of the system that includes the microfluidic device. These electrodes can be routed using a printed circuit board through a number of multiplex switches that can allow addressing of a desired unit of the device through a microprocessor in communication with a computer.
