Patents by Inventor Shai Moshe Vaingast

Shai Moshe Vaingast 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).

  • Powering devices having low and high voltage circuits
    Patent number: 8044536
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a device that includes a battery having an output of a battery voltage, a step-up voltage converter, a high voltage circuit, a low voltage circuit and a controller. The step-up voltage converter includes an input that is coupled to the battery voltage. The step-up voltage converter is configured to produce a high supply voltage at an output. The high voltage circuit is coupled to the output of the step-up voltage converter. The controller selectively powers the low voltage circuit using either the output from the step-up voltage converter or the battery voltage.

  • Low power consumption implantable pressure sensor
    Publication number: 20040152999
    Abstract: Pressure-measuring apparatus is provided, including a battery and a pressure transducer. The pressure transducer is adapted to be placed in a patient, and has a characteristic mechanical response bandwidth f, and a corresponding mechanical response period p equal to 1/f. A control unit is adapted to actuate the battery to drive current through the pressure transducer for a current-driving time period less than 0.5 p, and to sense an electrical characteristic of the pressure transducer during the current-driving time period.
