Patent number: 11833353Abstract: Various embodiments of an interface control subsystem may be used between an electrode terminal and a recording terminal of a neurostimulation and neurorecording system. The interface control subsystem may operate in three modes. In a disable mode, a first transistor and a second transistor disposed between the electrode terminal and the recording terminal may operate in a cutoff region and generate a high impedance. In an active mode, the first transistor and the second transistor may operate in a saturation region and generate a low impedance. In a stimulation mode, the first transistor and the second transistor operate in a triode region and generate an impedance between the high impedance of the disable mode and the low impedance of the active mode. The interface control subsystem may further limit voltage at the recording terminal in response to a detected overvoltage condition.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Veritas IP, LLCInventors: Andrew Miller Wilder, Scott Darold Hiatt, Steven John Barrus, Cliff C.

Patent number: 11642232Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for sensor systems. In one embodiment, a system may include an implantable component and an external component. The implantable component may comprise a housing and an electrode array configured to receive a plurality of biopotential signals. The housing may comprise a wireless power receiver and a wireless data transmitter to transmit representations of the biopotential signals. The external component may comprise a wireless data receiver configured to receive the plurality of digital representations of the biopotential signals and a wireless power transmitter configured to provide power to the internal component. A shielding component may separate the wireless power transmitter from the wireless data receiver. An interface may be configured to communicate with a prosthesis and configured to cause the prosthesis to implement a voluntary motion based on the plurality of digital presentations of the biopotential signals.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Ripple LLCInventors: Daniel Allen McDonnall, Scott Darold Hiatt, Brian Scott Crofts, Christopher Farand Smith, Andrew Miller Wilder
