Signal Modulator For Visual Indicator

View page
US Patent:
20100131101, May 27, 2010
Filed:
Nov 20, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/622697
Inventors:
Erik Daniel Engeberg - Akron OH, US
Sanford G. Meek - Salt Lake City UT, US
International Classification:
G05B 15/00
US Classification:
700258
Abstract:
An apparatus in an example comprises a manipulator, a force sensor, a signal modulator, and a visual indicator. The manipulator is employed by a user. The force sensor determines a force signal from a force applied by the manipulator on a part of an environment of the user. The signal modulator is adjustable by the user to select a switch point for the visual indicator based on relative fragility of the part of the environment. The signal modulator employs the force signal and the switch point to control the visual indicator for the user.

Device And Method For Controlling Nerve Growth

View page
US Patent:
20130344559, Dec 26, 2013
Filed:
Apr 23, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/868511
Inventors:
Erik Daniel Engeberg - Cuyahoga Falls OH, US
Rebecca Kuntz Willits - Akron OH, US
Assignee:
THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON - Akron OH
International Classification:
C12N 13/00
US Classification:
4351731, 4352891
Abstract:
A nerve growth chamber includes a stimulation vessel defined by one or more sidewalls; at least one anode and at least one cathode positioned in the sidewall or sidewalls of the stimulation vessel; a conductive medium in the stimulation vessel; nerve tissue in the stimulation vessel; and a signal generator connecting the at least one anode and the at least one cathode and activated to generate a periodic AC signal at a desired frequency and amplitude, the periodic AC signal traveling through the conductive medium and affecting the growth of the nerve tissue. A method in accordance with the operation of the apparatus is also provided.

Variable-Frequency Stimulator For Electrosurgery

View page
US Patent:
20140074084, Mar 13, 2014
Filed:
May 4, 2012
Appl. No.:
14/115481
Inventors:
Erik Engeberg - Cuyahoga Falls OH, US
Eric Espinal - Akron OH, US
Assignee:
THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON - Akron OH
International Classification:
A61B 18/14
A61B 18/12
US Classification:
606 33, 606170
Abstract:
A variable-frequency stimulator for electrosurgery includes an impedance analyzer to identify the electrical impedance of biological tissue being treated by an electrosurgical instrument, such as a laparoscope. Based on the identified tissue impedance, a controller adjusts the frequency of electrical current delivered to the electrosurgical instrument to reduce, minimize or normalize the impedance of the tissue, thereby preventing collateral damage to the tissue in and about the surgical site. Additionally, the laparoscope may be configured with multiple electrically conductive grasping arms that are used to deliver the electrical current to the surgical site. The conductive grasping arms provide multiple current paths for the electrical current to flow, thus concentrating the electrical current at the surgical site during an electrosurgical procedure. Thus, the unwanted spread of electrical current in the tissue is prevented, resulting in the reduction or prevention of collateral damage to tissue in and about the surgical site.

Antagonistically Actuated Shape Memory Alloy Manipulator

View page
US Patent:
20150289994, Oct 15, 2015
Filed:
Apr 10, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/683867
Inventors:
Erik D. Engeberg - Boca Raton FL, US
Sava Dilibal - Akron OH, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/58
F03G 7/06
Abstract:
An antagonistically actuated shape memory alloy (SMA) manipulator utilizes a pair of SMA actuators. The SMA actuators are configured, such that one actuator is trained to have a substantially linear or extended shape in its austenite phase, while the other actuator is trained to have a curved or flexed shape in its austenite phase. As such, the manipulator is operated, such that when one SMA actuator is heated and takes on its “trained” shape in the austenite phase, the other SMA actuator is permitted to cool and allowed to return to its original “untrained” shape in the martensite phase, and vice versa. This antagonistic operation of the SMA actuators allows the manipulator to achieve rapid flexion and extension movements.

Smart Fiber-Optic Sensor System And Method For Optical Spectroscopy In Robotic Surgical Systems

View page
US Patent:
20150141768, May 21, 2015
Filed:
Oct 24, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/523520
Inventors:
Bing Yu - Hudson OH, US
Erik D. Engeberg - Cuyahoga Falls OH, US
Assignee:
THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON - Akron OH
International Classification:
A61B 1/07
A61B 5/107
A61B 19/00
A61B 1/313
A61B 5/00
A61B 5/01
US Classification:
600301, 606130
Abstract:
A smart fiber-optic sensor system for use with robotic surgical systems performs optical spectroscopy using a diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) sensing channel, a self-calibration (SC) channel, a pressure-sensing channel, and a temperature sensing channel. During use of the fiber-optic sensor during a laparoscopic procedure, the pressure-sensing channel ensures that the fiber-optic sensor is maintained in suitable contact with the target tissue being treated. In addition, the temperature sensor is used to ensure that the target tissue does not exceed a desired temperature from the use of an electrosurgical cutting device during the laparoscopic procedure, so as to prevent burning or charring damage at the target tissue.

Flexible Tactile Sensors And Method Of Making

View page
US Patent:
20150109006, Apr 23, 2015
Filed:
Apr 26, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/396980
Inventors:
Jae-Won Choi - Copley OH, US
Erik Daniel Engeberg - Boca Raton FL, US
Kye-Shin Lee - Copley OH, US
Ho-Chan Kim - Daegu-Si, KR
International Classification:
G01R 27/02
G01R 3/00
G01P 3/50
G01L 1/04
G01B 7/00
US Classification:
324691, 264105
Abstract:
A tactile sensor includes a flexible medium having electrically conductive strips embedded therein and extending in a first direction, said electrically conductive strips including conductive nanostructures dispersed in a flexible support material, said nanostructures selected from conductive nanowires, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, wherein each electrically conductive strip is connected at each end to an impedance measuring device that measures the impedance across each electrically conductive strip. The electrically conductive strips may be formed on a first layer of the flexible medium by using direct-write technology.

Biomimetic Controller For Increased Dexterity Prosthesis

View page
US Patent:
20140128992, May 8, 2014
Filed:
Nov 8, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/075175
Inventors:
Erik Engeberg - Cuyahoga Falls OH, US
Assignee:
THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON - Akron OH
International Classification:
A61F 2/72
US Classification:
623 25
Abstract:
A sliding mode biomimetic (BSM) controller for a prosthetic device, such as a prosthetic hand, includes an input classification component that receives electromyogram (EGM) signals from two or more electromyogram (EGM) sensors that are positioned on an amputee's body. The input classification component compares the EGM input signals based on predetermined activation threshold values and identifies an input class to determine the amputee's intended movement of the prosthetic device. A finite state machine utilizes the current position of the prosthetic hand and the identified input class to identify the coordinates of a lookup table to determine the next state or position of the prosthetic device. As a result, the biomimetic controller is able to simultaneously control two or more degrees of freedom (DOFs) or functions of the prosthetic hand using only two EGM input signals.

Thermal Energy Harvesting Device

View page
US Patent:
20140083095, Mar 27, 2014
Filed:
May 2, 2012
Appl. No.:
14/115466
Inventors:
Subramaniya Hariharan - Akron OH, US
Erik Engeberg - Cuyahoga Falls OH, US
Assignee:
THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON - Akron OH
International Classification:
F03G 7/06
US Classification:
60527
Abstract:
A thermal energy harvesting device includes a rotatable shaft and a shape memory alloy element secured to rotatable shaft. The shape memory alloy element is adapted to undergo a shape memory effect upon reaching a transition temperature, which causes rotation of the rotatable shaft. The rotatable shaft may be operatively connected to a generator or tachometer to convert the rotation of the shaft into electrical energy, which may then be stored in a rechargeable battery. In certain embodiments a gear box may be provided to increase the speed of rotation, and thereby increase the amount of electrical energy created.
