Patents by Inventor Samuel J. Karnes

Samuel J. Karnes 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: 11543887
    Abstract: Among other things, a user interface device has a sensor configured to detect, at a wrist of a human, nerve or other tissue electrical signals associated with an intended contraction of a muscle to cause a rapid motion of a finger. An output provides information representative of the nerve or other tissue electrical signals associated with the intended contraction of the muscle to an interpreter of the information.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 22, 2020
    Date of Patent: January 3, 2023
    Assignee: Pison Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Dexter W. Ang, David O Cipoletta, Samuel J. Karnes, Michael P. Kowalczyk, Salil H. Patel, Steven D. Trambert
  • Patent number: 11484242
    Abstract: Bio-potentials are sensed on the skin of a subject. The bio-potentials include muscle bio-potentials, and nerve bio-potentials. Skin sensors are positioned to enable the sensing circuitry to emphasize the nerve bio-potentials and deemphasize the muscle bio-potentials in processed bio-potential signals generated by the sensing circuitry. A machine learning component identifies control sequences or tracks body motions based on the processed bio-potential signals.

  • Publication number: 20220019285
    Abstract: Among other things, a received inbound message is presented to a person wearing a wearable device. The inbound message is presented to the person as perceptible stimulation at the skin of the person. Monitoring is done for presence of an outbound message derived from biopotential signals sensed at the skin of the person after the receipt of the inbound message.

  • Publication number: 20210303071
    Abstract: Among other things, a received inbound message is presented to a person wearing a wearable device. The inbound message is presented to the person as tactile stimulation of skin of the person. Monitoring is done for presence of an outbound message derived from biopotential signals sensed at the skin of the person after the receipt of the inbound message.
