Patents by Inventor Kuo-Hsiang LU

Kuo-Hsiang LU 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: 20250099766
    Abstract: An electrical stimulation device includes an electrode assembly and an electrical stimulator. The electrical stimulator generates an electrical stimulation signal and is coupled to the electrode assembly. The electrical stimulation signal is transmitted to a target region of an organism through the electrode assembly. The electrical stimulation signal contains a plurality of burst signals, and the burst signals have the burst frequency between 0.1 Hz and 1,000 Hz. Each burst signal contains a plurality of pulses, and the pulses have the pulse frequency between 1 kHz (kilohertz) and 1,000 kHz. The electrical stimulation signal reduces the level of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) of the organism.

The electrical stimulation signal contains a plurality of burst signals, and the burst signals have the burst frequency between 0.1 Hz and 1,000 Hz. Each burst signal contains a plurality of pulses, and the pulses have the pulse frequency between 20 kHz (kilohertz) and 1,000 kHz. The electrical stimulation signal does not induce activation of an upstream neural structure or a downstream neural structure of the target region.

  • Patent number: 9956408
    Abstract: A method for reducing spasticity applied with an electrical stimulation device to electrically stimulate a target zone of an organism suffering from spasticity. The electrical stimulation device comprises at least one electrical stimulation unit. The electrical stimulation unit includes at least one first electrode and at least one second electrode. The method includes the following steps. The electrical stimulation unit is placed near the target zone. The electrical stimulation unit generates an electrical stimulation signal and the electrical stimulation signal is introduced to the target zone so as to stimulate the target zone. An electric field is generated between the first electrode and the second electrode and covers the target zone. The strength of the electric field ranges from 100 V/m to 1000 V/m.
