Patent number: 12343071Abstract: At least some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an electroporation ablation system for treating targeted tissue in a patient. The electroporation ablation system comprises an ablation catheter including catheter electrodes configured to generate electric fields in the targeted tissue in response to a plurality of electrical pulse sequences delivered in a plurality of therapy sections; a controller configured to receive a first pulse voltage of a first electrical pulse sequence measured during a first therapy section of the plurality of therapy sections; and determine a charge voltage based on the first pulse voltage; and an electroporation generator. The electroporation generator is operatively coupled to the catheter electrodes and the controller and configured to deliver a second electrical pulse sequence at a controlled pulse voltage for a second therapy section of the plurality of therapy sections.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2022Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, IncInventors: Nathaniel Adams, Jonathan Tyler Gorzycki, Randall Dodson, Brendan Early Koop

Patent number: 6785573Abstract: A low pass filter especially adapted for use with ECG equipment designed to negate any noise energy that may be superimposed upon the ECG signal itself. A plurality of low-pass FIR filter stages are connected in tandem between a signal input point and a signal output point where each of the stages has a distinct cut-off frequency characteristic. Means are provided for selectively turning ones of the plurality of stages on or off.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2002Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: Vladimir V. Kovtun, Randall Dodson, Joseph E. Bange
