Audiometric Apparatus And Associated Screening Method

View page
US Patent:
20010036277, Nov 1, 2001
Filed:
Feb 13, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/782503
Inventors:
Robert Stone - Sunnyvale CA, US
Bret Herscher - Cupertino CA, US
International Classification:
H04R029/00
US Classification:
381/060000
Abstract:
An audiometric apparatus comprising stimulus generating means for transmitting at least one true random stimulus sequence to a subject's inner ear, and sampling means for detecting the response signal returned from the subject's inner ear in response to the stimulus sequence, the response signal having at least a first waveform, the sampling means including waveform reconstruction means for reconstructing the first waveform, the reconstruction means including means for applying a plurality of true random frequencies to the response signal.

Tuned Rf Energy And Electrical Tissue Characterization For Selective Treatment Of Target Tissues

View page
US Patent:
20080125772, May 29, 2008
Filed:
Oct 18, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/975651
Inventors:
Corbett W. Stone - San Diego CA, US
Michael F. Hoey - Shoreview MN, US
Tom A. Steinke - San Diego CA, US
Raphael M. Michel - San Diego CA, US
Arthur G. Blanck - Ramona CA, US
Marlene Kay Truesdale - Monument CO, US
Bret Herscher - Cupertino CA, US
Assignee:
Minnow Medical, Inc - San Diego CA
International Classification:
A61B 18/14
US Classification:
606 41
Abstract:
A catheter and catheter system can use energy tailored for remodeling and/or removal of target material along a body lumen, often of atherosclerotic material of a blood vessel of a patient. An elongate flexible catheter body with a radially expandable structure may have a plurality of electrodes or other electrosurgical energy delivery surfaces to radially engage atherosclerotic material when the structure expands. An atherosclerotic material detector system may measure and/or characterize the atherosclerotic material and its location, optionally using impedance monitoring.

Power Generating And Control Apparatus For The Treatment Of Tissue

View page
US Patent:
20120095461, Apr 19, 2012
Filed:
Apr 11, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/066347
Inventors:
Bret Herscher - Cupertino CA, US
David Krawzsenek - El Cajon CA, US
Aaron LaBarge - San Diego CA, US
Joseluis Espinosa - San Diego CA, US
Michael Perry - Los Altos CA, US
Assignee:
Minnow Medical, Inc. - Laguna Hills CA
International Classification:
A61N 1/378
A61B 18/12
A61N 1/36
US Classification:
606 45, 607 62, 607 59
Abstract:
Apparatus, systems, and methods are provided for the generation and control of energy delivery in a dosage to elicit a therapeutic response in diseased tissue. A balloon catheter can have electrodes attached to a power generator and controller such that the balloon and electrodes contact tissue during energy treatment. Energy selectively may be applied to tissue based on measured impedance to achieve gentle heating. Calibration of the apparatus and identification of attached accessories by computing the circuit impedance prior to energy dosage facilitate regulation of power delivery about a set point. Energy delivery can be controlled to achieve substantially uniform bulk tissue temperature distribution. Energy delivery may beneficially affect nerve activity.

Assignee:
Vessix Vascular, Inc. - Laguna Hills CA
International Classification:
A61B 18/14
US Classification:
606 33, 606 41
Abstract:
A catheter and catheter system can use energy tailored for remodeling and/or removal of target material along a body lumen, often of atherosclerotic material of a blood vessel of a patient. An elongate flexible catheter body with a radially expandable structure may have a plurality of electrodes or other electrosurgical energy delivery surfaces to radially engage atherosclerotic material when the structure expands.

Wireless Hearing Aid System

View page
US Patent:
20140023212, Jan 23, 2014
Filed:
Jul 16, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/942908
Inventors:
Bret Herscher - Cupertino CA, US
International Classification:
H04R 25/00
US Classification:
381313
Abstract:
A hearing aid system comprising first and second ear units or hearing aids, and an external audio signal receiver, the first and second ear units including an audio sensor and transceiver, the audio sensor being configured to detect audio signals emanating from the environment, the transceiver being configured to transmit directionality signals representing amplitude and phase of detected audio signals to said acoustic signal receiver, the audio signal receiver including processing means for processing the audio and directionality signals and generating reconstructed acoustic signals that include direction parameters representing a direction of origin of at least one audio signal, the audio signal receiver further including wireless signal transmission means for transmitting the reconstructed acoustic signals to the ear units.

Modular Radio Test System And Method

View page
US Patent:
55660886, Oct 15, 1996
Filed:
Jun 13, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/258645
Inventors:
Bret Herscher - Cupertino CA
Robert J. Skalka - Tempe AZ
Glen E. Sater - Phoenix AZ
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H05K 112
US Classification:
364514B
Abstract:
A tester for multiple types of radios has a first group of generic test elements common to all types of radios to be tested and second groups of test elements specific to each one of the multiple types of radios. Each of the second groups of test elements is mounted within a pluggable module for insertion into the tester where it couples to a common bus accessed by all of the other test elements and by the controlling computer. Each pluggable module contains a specific identifier which, when accessed by the controlling computer initiates a stored program which causes the computer, via the bus, to couple the various test elements into a configuration required to test the radio type associated with that identifier. The system is very compact and conveniently uses a lap top computer as the controlling element.

True Rms Power Demodulation System And Method For A Modulated Rf Signal

View page
US Patent:
48766542, Oct 24, 1989
Filed:
Apr 1, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/176717
Inventors:
Bret A. Herscher - Mountain View CA
Assignee:
Wavetek Microwave, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G01R 2300
H03D 104
US Classification:
364483
Abstract:
True RMS power demodulation system and method for a modulated RF signal uses a DC coupled linear amplifier and linearizes the diode detector prior to demodulation. The demodulated signal is proportional to the difference of RF powers such that the network measurement is unaffected by the modulation depth at the power sensor which can be degraded by RF feedthrough or the presence of an interfering signal or noise.
