Mark Spano 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: 11714083
    Abstract: The presence of analytes can be detected in the bodily fluid using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) or Electrochemical Capacitance Spectroscopy (ECS) in devices, such as handheld point-of-care devices. The devices, as well as systems and methods, utilize using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) or Electrochemical Capacitance Spectroscopy (EIS) in combination with an antibody or other target-capturing molecule on a working electrode. Imaginary impedance or phase shift, as well as background subtraction, also may be utilized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 4, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 1, 2023
    Assignees: ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS ON BEHALF OF ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY, MAYO FOUNDATION FOR MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH, AXIM BIOTECHNOLOGIES. INC.
    Inventors: Jeffrey LaBelle, Garrett Repp, Chi Lin, Mark Spano, Jennifer Blain Christen, Hongwu Jiang, Marcus Smith, Andrew Penman, Pierce Youngbar, Mackenzie Honikel, Curtiss Cook

  • Patent number: 10643360
    Abstract: Some systems include a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: identify one or more spatial markers in a medical data-based image of a patient, identify one or more spatial markers in a real-time perceived image of the patient, wherein the one or more spatial markers in the medical data-based image correspond to an anatomical feature of the patient and the one or more spatial markers in the real-time perceived image correspond to the anatomical feature of the patient, superimpose the medical data-based image of the patient with the real-time perceived image of the patient, and align the one or more spatial markers in the medical data-based image with the respective one or more spatial markers in the real-time perceived image.

  • Patent number: 8447407
    Abstract: Neuronal excitation and inhibition of the brain is tracked in the hippocampal CA1 network during a latent period, wherein biomarkers are observed which include a sustained increase in the firing rate of the excitatory postsynaptic field activity, paired with a subsequent decrease in the firing rate of the inhibitory postsynaptic field activity; the mean amplitude profiles of both fEPSP and fEPSP field potential activity during the latent period have characteristic shapes; both excitatory and inhibitory CA1 field activity firing rates are observed to follow a circadian rhythm that drifts during epileptogenesis; the circadian rhythms described are in-phase in controls and anti-phase during epileptogenesis; and the fEPSP rate drifts from a circadian rhythm to a greater extent than the fEPSP rate. An additional biomarker is a change in a circadian rhythm of core body temperature. Therapeutic measures can include thermal, chemical, or electrical modulation, in an open or closed loop process.

  • Publication number: 20110130797
    Abstract: Neuronal excitation and inhibition of the brain is tracked in the hippocampual CA1 network during a latent period, wherein biomarkers are observed which include a sustained increase in the firing rate of the excitatory postsynaptic field activity, paired with a subsequent decrease in the firing rate of the inhibitory postsynaptic field activity within the CA1 region of the hippocampus; the mean amplitude profiles of both fEPSP and fIPSP field potential activity during the latent period have characteristic shapes; both excitatory and inhibitory CA1 field activity firing rates are observed to follow a circadian rhythm that drifts during epileptogenesis; the circadian rhythms described are in-phase in controls and anti-phase during epileptogenesis; and the fEPSP rate drifts from a circadian rhythm to a greater extent than the fIPSP rate.
