Patents by Inventor Mark Pennington

Mark Pennington 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: 11950912
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a physiological recording device and, more particularly, to a physiological recording device that can be used without skin preparation or the use of electrolytic gels. The invention is further directed to an encouragement ring which stabilizes and helps situate the physiological recording device on a subject's skin to help provide a better electrical signal, increase surface area, and reduce and minimize noise and artifacts during the process of recording or monitoring a physiological signal. The invention is still further directed to surface features on a surface of the physiological recording device with a size and shape that will not substantially bend or break, which limits the depth of application of the recording device, and/or anchors the recording device during normal application. The invention is even further directed to a method for manufacturing a physiological recording device, and minimizing cost of manufacture.

  • Patent number: 11529641
    Abstract: A cap assembly for closing an opening in a vessel may include a stopper and a rigid cap adapted to fit over the stopper and onto a vessel. The stopper may include a polymer body adapted to fit an opening of the vessel and a tubular portion defining an internal passageway extending through the polymer body. The rigid cap may include a pressure based locking mechanism adapted to engage the vessel under a unidirectional force and a tamper evident feature.

  • Patent number: 11407564
    Abstract: The present application is directed to cap assemblies and particularly, cap assembly for closing an opening in a vessel, the cap assembly including a stopper including an polymer body adapted to fit an opening of a vessel, the stopper also including a tubular portion which defines an internal passageway extending through the polymer body; and a rigid cap attached to and integral with the stopper, wherein the cap is adapted to engage the vessel and provide a sealing force between the stopper and the vessel.

  • Patent number: 11367519
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing recommended doses and instructions for pharmaceutical treatments by measuring physiological and/or electrophysiological signals from a subject and providing recommended doses and instructions of pharmaceuticals based at least in part on the measured signals. Further, the recommended doses and instructions are based at least in part on a subject's disease(s), disorder(s), or injuries and/or symptom(s) of such, and/or side effects of medications or treatments the subject is receiving. The recommended doses and instructions are personally tailored to the subject to precisely and personally address the subject's needs, and may be based in part on correlation with database(s) comprising historical data of the subject and/or other subjects to treat the subject's movement disorders, injuries to the body or brain, cognitive diseases and disorders, sleep diseases and disorders, chronic pain, or other conditions.

  • Publication number: 20060181127
    Abstract: A chair includes a supporting frame and a seat portion which is foldable about a transverse fold to define a rearward portion behind the transverse fold and a forward portion, forward of the transverse fold. The seat portion is supported above the supporting frame by its rearward portion. The chair also includes a reclinable back portion and a recline mechanism with which the back portion is connected for reclining action of the back portion. The recline mechanism is operably linked to the rearward portion of the seat portion such that on reclining action of the back portion, the rearward portion is moved to increase in rearward tilt angle and to obtain a net increase in height above the supporting frame, with a consequent folding of the seat portion about the transverse fold line under the weight of the occupant.
