Assignee:

Regents of the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:

G01V 3/00
US Classification:

324318, 324322
Abstract:

A magnetic resonance system is disclosed. The system includes a transceiver having a multichannel receiver and a multichannel transmitter, where each channel of the transmitter is configured for independent selection of frequency, phase, time, space, and magnitude, and each channel of the receiver is configured for independent selection of space, time, frequency, phase and gain. The system also includes a magnetic resonance coil having a plurality of current elements, with each element coupled in one to one relation with a channel of the receiver and a channel of the transmitter. The system further includes a processor coupled to the transceiver, such that the processor is configured to execute instructions to control a current in each element and to perform a non-linear algorithm to shim the coil.

US Patent:

20210267465, Sep 2, 2021
Filed:

May 17, 2021
Appl. No.:

17/322256
Inventors:

- Mansfield MA, US
Heather D. Orser - Farmington MN, US
Eric J. Panken - Edina MN, US
Timothy J. Denison - Oxford, GB
International Classification:

A61B 5/0205
A61B 5/00
A61B 8/00
A61B 5/026
A61B 6/00
A61B 5/245
A61B 5/318
A61B 5/389
Abstract:

A system for detecting strokes includes a sensor device configured to obtain physiological data from a patient, for example brain activity data. A computing device communicatively coupled to the sensor device is configured to receive the physiological data and compare it with reference data. The reference data can be patient data from an opposite brain hemisphere to the hemisphere being interrogated or the reference data can be non-patient data from stroke and normal patient populations. Based on comparison of the physiological data and the reference data, the system indicates whether the patient has suffered a stroke.

Real-Time Phase Detection Of Frequency Band

US Patent:

20200185093, Jun 11, 2020
Filed:

Jan 6, 2020
Appl. No.:

16/735340
Inventors:

- Minneapolis MN, US
Gregory J. Loxtercamp - Edina MN, US
Heather Diane Orser - Farmington MN, US
Scott R. Stanslaski - Shoreview MN, US
Jadin C. Jackson - Roseville MN, US
International Classification:

G16H 40/63
A61B 5/048
A61B 5/04
A61B 5/00
Abstract:

Techniques are described for real-time phase detection. For the phase detection, a signal is correlated with a frequency component of a frequency band whose phase is being detected, and the correlation includes predominantly decreasing weighting of past portions of the signals.

Ecap Based Control Of Electrical Stimulation Therapy

US Patent:

20190388692, Dec 26, 2019
Filed:

Jun 21, 2019
Appl. No.:

16/449152
Inventors:

- Minneapolis MN, US
Heather Diane Orser - Farmington MN, US
Scott R. Stanslaski - Shoreview MN, US
Erik J. Peterson - Fridley MN, US
International Classification:

A61N 1/36
Abstract:

Devices, systems, and techniques for controlling electrical stimulation therapy are described. In one example, a system may be configured to deliver electrical stimulation therapy to a patient, the electrical stimulation therapy comprising a plurality of therapy pulses at a predetermined pulse frequency over a period of time and deliver, over the period of time, a plurality of control pulses interleaved with at least some therapy pulses of the plurality of therapy pulses. The system may also be configured to sense, after one or more control pulses and prior to an immediately subsequent therapy pulse of the plurality of therapy pulses, a respective evoked compound action potential (ECAP), adjust, based on at least one respective ECAP, one or more parameter values that at least partially defines the plurality of therapy pulses, and deliver the electrical stimulation therapy to the patient according to the adjusted one or more parameter values.

Precision Delivery Of Electrical Stimulation

US Patent:

20180200523, Jul 19, 2018
Filed:

Dec 20, 2017
Appl. No.:

15/848291
Inventors:

- Minneapolis MN, US
Heather D. Orser - Farmington MN, US
Dale G. Suilmann - Elk River MN, US
Kenneth J. Gutzman - Lino Lakes MN, US
Gregory J. Loxtercamp - Edina MN, US
International Classification:

A61N 1/36
A61N 1/05
A61N 1/372
Abstract:

An example method for controlling delivery of electrical stimulation therapy includes maintaining, by one or more processors of a medical device configured to deliver electrical stimulation to a patient, a counter tied to a clock used by the medical device to deliver the electrical stimulation to the patient; and obtaining, by the one or more processors, one or more representations of sensed electrical signals for the patient that are referenced to counts of the counter. In this example, the method also includes identifying, based on the one or more representations of the sensed electrical signals for the patient, a count of the counter at which stimulation is to be delivered to the patient; and delivering, by the medical device and to the patient, electrical stimulation based on the identified count of the counter.
