Patents by Inventor Lev Abramovich Koyrakh

Lev Abramovich Koyrakh 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: 10082395
    Abstract: An algorithm to correct and/or scale an electrical current-based coordinate system can include the determination of one or more global transformation or interpolation functions and/or one or more local transformation functions. The global and local transformation functions can be determined by calculating a global metric tensor and a number of local metric tensors. The metric tensors can be calculated based on pre-determined and measured distances between closely-spaced sensors on a catheter.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10049771
    Abstract: An embodiment of a method for solving the inverse problem of electrophysiology and determining a voltage distribution on a surface of a tissue may comprise receiving a plurality of voltages collected by a plurality of electrodes adjacent to the surface, discretizing the problem using a Finite Element Method (FEM) or a Boundary Element Method (BEM), introducing one or more regularization terms to an error minimization formulation, and solving, by a processor, the voltage distribution according to the plurality of voltages and according to the regularization terms. The regularization terms may comprise one or more of a Laplacian smoothness operator, a Tikhonov regularization matrix, a confidence matrix, and a linear operator that interpolates the plurality of electrode voltages to the tissue voltage distribution.
