Nov 26, 2008

Appl. No.:

29/328656

Inventors:

Chong Ming Lee - Corona CA, US
Kang Hong Lee - Kangshan, Kaohsiung, TW

International Classification:

0808

US Classification:

D 8387

US Patent:

8335551, Dec 18, 2012

Filed:

Sep 24, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/586562

Inventors:

Chong Il Lee - Stanton CA, US
Sergio Lara Pereira Monteiro - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/0478

US Classification:

600377, 600378, 600393, 600544

Abstract:

A picafina device that is an electrode for measurement of neuron electrical activity where the number of measurement points is very large, and methods of selecting a subset of available measuring electrodes on the surface of the device. The device can keep the selection for a predetermined length of time, or for an indefinite length of time, both under control of the researcher or the neurosurgeon. Selecting a different measuring pad, or a combination of pads, is equivalent to making measurement at a different location or on a nearby neuron. Several parallel measurements can be made, in which case correlations can be made between the firing of different neurons.

Appl. No.:

13/053137

Inventors:

Chong Il Lee - Stanton CA, US
Sergio Lara Pereira Monteiro - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/08

US Classification:

607 2, 607 60

Abstract:

A device for conveying information related to address, control, stimulation and measurement to and from a large number of electrodes selected from a larger set of available electrodes.

Filed:

Sep 28, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/586763

Inventors:

Chong Il Lee - Stanton CA, US
Sergio Lara Pereira Monteiro - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/08

US Classification:

607 2, 607116

Abstract:

A picafina, or lead, includes a decoder within the picafina to provide directional stimulation to a multitude of electrode pads. The system of address wires, control switches and demultiplexers selects one of a plurality of the electrode pads. Time delay switches control the fixed length of the time the cells receive the electrical stimulation. Alternatively the fixed length of the time the cells receive the electrical stimulation may be implemented by periodically disconnecting the stimulation voltage as the battery output.

Appl. No.:

13/046801

Inventors:

Chong Il Lee - Stanton CA, US
Sergio Lara Pereira Monteiro - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/08

US Classification:

607 2

Abstract:

A device to improve the safety of neuronal, heart, muscle and organ electrical stimulation devices during MRI scanning. The device consists of means to open and/or closing the circuit to the electrical stimulation device and to the battery pack, while, concomitantly, closing and/or opening another circuit to a dedicated path that dissipates the stored energy induced by the radiofrequency used in imaging MRI.

Appl. No.:

12/356121

Inventors:

Chong Ming Lee - Corona CA, US
Kang Hong Lee - Kangshan, TW

International Classification:

E04B 1/00
F16B 13/04

US Classification:

5274521, 411 17

Abstract:

A reusable expansion anchoring assembly comprises a spiral tang and a bolt. The spiral tang is formed by spirally coiling a long wire, and the bolt includes a head and a body. A spiral part is provided on the body to form a plurality of threads spaced equidistantly and the threads at the bottom of the body are in tapered shape. In the setting process, the first thread is assembled with a gap of the spiral tang, and the bolt body and the spiral tang are inserted into a round and elongated hole provided in an object with substantial depth. Turning the bolt head bolt produces sufficient force to assemble the first thread with the spiral tang. Under normal or improper operation, the spiral tang is movable relative to the bolt and can be expanded, and a firm connection between the bolt and the object can be formed.

International Classification:

A61N 1/375
A61N 1/362

US Classification:

607 36, 607 45

Abstract:

A device for electrical stimulation of the brain, heart, and other neurons and muscles, capable of modifying the electrical activity of its environment in ways that are desirable for a better life style of a patient with brain, heart, or other problems. When used for brain stimulation, the device is able to superimpose an electrical current on the natural current that happens to occur, when the natural currents cause some undesirable effect, as in Parkinson's disease. When used for heart stimulation, the device is able to superimpose an electrical current on the natural current that happens to occur, originating at the sino-atrial node, which causes a healthy heart to pump blood to the lungs and to the body. The device offers an improvement over prior art of being capable of adjusting the position of the stimulating electrodes.
