  • Minimally invasive deep brain stimulation using electromagnetic waves
    Patent number: 12478788
    Abstract: A method for minimally invasive deep brain simulation (DBS) involves obtaining a target location for the DBS, obtaining an anatomical model, and simulatively determining, for a set of antennas endocranially implanted at first positions and emitting electromagnetic waves differing by a frequency offset, a first envelope signal at the target location, using the anatomical model. The first envelope signal resulting from interference of the electromagnetic waves at the target location has an envelope signal frequency corresponding to the frequency offset.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 1, 2022
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2025
    Assignees: William Marsh Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine
    Inventors: Fatima Ahsan, Taiyun Chi, Raymond Cho, Sameer A. Sheth, Wayne Goodman, Behnaam Aazhang

  • System and method for on-board waste heat recovery
    Patent number: 8920770
    Abstract: A technique is described including receiving a hydrocarbon stream, and heating the hydrocarbon stream with an exhaust steam from an internal combustion engine. This technique may include reacting the hydrocarbon stream catalytically to produce hydrogen and a modified hydrocarbon stream having a lower saturation state than the hydrocarbon stream, recovering energy from the hydrogen stream, and/or providing the modified hydrocarbon stream to a fuel supply for the internal combustion engine.
