Title: Implantable signal amplifying circuit for electroneurographic recording
Inventor: BARU FASSIO MARCELO DANIEL
IPC: A61N1/08
Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: An implantable microvolt-level signal amplifying circuit may be used for resolving electrical signals generated by nerves in the presence of larger amplitude signals generated by muscles, the heart, or external noise sources. The circuit has a low-noise, high Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) preamplifier, followed by a cascade of stages, which provide filtering and further amplification of the neural signal. The band-pass amplifying circuit can also present high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR). The output is offset-compensated by a DC restoration stage. Nerve protection circuitry minimizes or blocks DC current flow through the input terminals in the event of semiconductor failure in the preamplifier. The circuit may be incorporated onto a common monolithic circuit with follow-up circuitry for controlling Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) devices.

Title: Device and method to maintain vascularization near implant
Inventor: FISSELL WILLIAM H
IPC: C12N11/08
Filed: 2002-09-10
Abstract: A device and a method of maintaining vascularization near an implant, especially a bioartificial hemofilter. By associating cells that excrete angiogenic factors with such an implant, vascularization to the tissue surrounding the implant can be maintained. In a bioartificial hemofilter, this facilitates filtrate transport to a collection fiber for drainage from the body. The cells can be generically engineered, for example using an adenovirus vector encoding for vascular endothelial growth factor. Myoblasts and myotubes may be used in one embodiment of the present invention.
Patent CA-2459968-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COLEY CRAIG J
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2002-09-04
Abstract: To prevent inadvertent illumination of a light emitting diode L1 (or set of light emitting diodes 201a-201b) by stray currents at extremely low levels, a quiescent current limiting resistive load R1 is connected in parallel with the light emitting diode L1, sized to conduct a desired minimum current at the lowest forward voltage drop at which the light emitting diode L1 is expected to properly illuminate. Rather than connecting the resistive load R1 across the input/output ports 204a-204b of the driver circuit 200, in parallel with any biasing resistance R2 and the light emitting diodes 201a-201b, the load R1 is connected directly in parallel with the light emitting diodes 201a-201b.  Additional current through the load R1 as the voltage across the input/output ports 204a-204b increases is thus effectively capped by the maximum forward voltage drop across the light emitting diodes 201a-201b.
