Patent number: 10561351Abstract: A tissue-implantable sensor for measurement of solutes in fluids and gases, such as oxygen and glucose, is provided. The sensor includes: i) a detector array including at least one detector; ii) a telemetry transmission portal; iii) an electrical power source; and iv) circuitry electrically connected to the detector array including signal processing means for determining an analyte level, such as glucose level, in a body fluid contacting the detectors. The sensor components are disposed in a hermetically sealed housing having a size and shape suitable for comfortable, safe, and unobtrusive subcutaneous implantation allowing for in vivo detection and long term monitoring of tissue glucose concentrations by wireless telemetry.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2012Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: GLYSENS INCORPORATEDInventors: Joseph Y. Lucisano, Mark B. Catlin, William J. Choi, Payton C. Chu, Joe T. Lin, Timothy L. Routh, Thomas G. Wallner

Publication number: 20180348154Abstract: At least one conductor is formed at a preselected location on a substrate made of a first insulating material having a high temperature resistance. The conductor is made from a solidified electrically conductive thick film material. A coating made of a second insulating material is formed over the substrate to hermetically seal at least a portion of the conductor. An exposed distal region of the conductor provides a detection electrode. The conductor has a reduced porosity that inhibits migration of fluid or constituents thereof through the conductor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2018Publication date: December 6, 2018Inventors: Joseph Y. Lucisano, Mark B. Catlin

Patent number: 9782111Abstract: A wire extends through a ceramic body. The wire comprises a material selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium and alloys of platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, and osmium. The wire directly contacts the ceramic body to form a substantially hermetic seal between the ceramic body and the wire.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2014Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: GlySense, Inc., a California CorporationInventors: Joseph Y. Lucisano, Richard E. Calou, Mark B. Catlin, Joe T. Lin, Timothy L. Routh
