Publication number: 20220001177Abstract: Some embodiments include a system with a sensor with electrodes including an active electrode and a receiving electrode that is in physical contact with skin of a patient forming an electrical circuit with control electronics of a controller that can measure an electrical parameter using an active electrode and a receiving electrode within a closed loop electrical muscle stimulation system. A sense electrical pulse can be applied to the tissue using the sensor, an electrical parameter measured from the tissue, and a stimulation pulse applied to the tissue based at least in part on the measured electrical parameter. The stimulation is adjustably controlled by the controller to maintain a constant power output to the tissue based on the electrical parameter. A good is coupled to a computer readable medium configured to store usage data, the usage data relating to the patient's use of the good.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2021Publication date: January 6, 2022Inventors: Struan Coleman, Calvin Domenico, Edison Gieswein, Jessica Paparella, Joshua Butters, Marlina Kessler, David Saar, Lee Knox

Patent number: 10010714Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a system and method for delivering stimulation therapy or relief to a patient. The system includes a stimulation electrode pair coupled to a good that can couple to a patient to deliver stimulation controlled through a wired or wireless link. The system includes a controller that can generate and apply a stimulation pulse to the stimulation electrode pair based on the stimulation program and the signal or data. The system includes a sensor coupled to the controller and the good, and a user interface enabling a user to remotely view or exchange information through the link, and to monitor and set or reconfigure the stimulation pulse. In some embodiments, the good includes a brace assembly that can be a brace, a stay, a sleeve, a sling, a garment, a wrap, or a strap.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: CYMEDICA ORTHOPEDICS, INC.Inventors: Struan Coleman, Calvin Domenico, Edison Gieswein, Jessica Paparella, Joshua Butters, Marlina Kessler, David Saar, Lee Knox

Patent number: 7076999Abstract: A System of monitoring the air pressure in the tires of a moving vehicle continuously in real time for measuring the pressure in a rotating tire and transmitting the information via magnetic pulses to a sensor pickup located near the tire, but on a non-rotating part of the vehicle, for transmittal via wire to a micro controller for conversion to air pressure units and display. It comprises a sensor module for each wheel, and an electronics module in the passenger compartment. It computes the air pressure by measuring the phase angle between a fixed magnet and a magnet placed on a piston in an air cylinder within the tire.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2004Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Inventor: Lewis Lee Knox

Patent number: 6956310Abstract: A submersible pump motor has rotor sections spaced apart from each other with bearings located between. The bearings support the shaft of the rotor within a stator. The bearing is stationary and has a cavity in its outer periphery. A metallic coiled member is positioned along the circumference of the bearing, and rests in the cavity on the outside diameter of the bearing. The coiled member engages the bearing and the inner wall of the stator to prevent rotation of the bearing.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2000Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventor: Dick Lee Knox

Patent number: 6614886Abstract: The present invention features a method for providing status information to a client based on data residing in an electronic database or e-file. The database of the information is maintained and updated, and is periodically analyzed to determine whether at least a portion of the data has changed since the last analysis or communication. If so, the client is automatically informed by the system, which initiates an automatic voice response (AVR) call out to the client. The client verifies that he or she is the true intended recipient of the status information before it is communicated. A log of this communication is also maintained by the system. The client has the opportunity to respond to the system AVR call and/or correct or provide additional information, the client voice response being stored in an appropriate voice mailbox.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1999Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Inventor: Lee Knox

Patent number: 5670931Abstract: The present invention impresses the data on the power signal by utilizing a saturable core reactor. The saturable core reactor uses two cores. Each core has both load windings and control windings. The control windings are selectively energized to alter an electrical characteristic of the current passing through the load windings. The saturable core reactor is designed with cores made of a highly magnetically permeable material so that the cores are easily saturated. The cyclical saturation of the cores achieved by the load current, and the selective saturation of the cores achieved by selectively applying a control current, results in "deformations" being selectively formed at the zero crossings of the load current waveform. These "deformations" can be selectively formed on the power signal to represent a binary data stream.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1994Date of Patent: September 23, 1997Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Gordon Lee Besser, Cecil Glynn Davis, Edward Bryant Tickell, Jr., Dick Lee Knox, John Dee Martin, Jr.
