20080214986 | GELS WITH PREDETERMINED CONDUCTIVITY USED IN ELECTROPORATION OF TISSUE - Gel compositions with adjusted conductivity are disclosed which compositions are used for directing reversible electroporation and irreversible electroporation of cells and tissue. The gel compositions are also used in a similar manner in order to carry out thermotherapy on cells and tissues. | 09-04-2008 |
20090247933 | BALLOON CATHETER METHOD FOR REDUCING RESTENOSIS VIA IRREVERSIBLE ELECTROPORATION - Restenosis or neointimal formation may occur following angioplasty or other trauma to an artery such as by-pass surgery. This presents a major clinical problem which narrows the artery. The invention provides a balloon catheter with a particular electrode configuration. Also provided is a method whereby vascular cells in the area of the artery subjected to the trauma are subjected to irreversible electroporation which is a non-thermal, non-pharmaceutical method of applying electrical pulses to the cells so that substantially all of the cells in the area are ablated while leaving the structure of the vessel in place and substantially unharmed due to the non-thermal nature of the procedure. | 10-01-2009 |
20090248012 | IRREVERSIBLE ELECTROPORATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ATTENUATING NEOINTIMAL - Restenosis or neointimal formation may occur following angioplasty or other trauma to an artery such as by-pass surgery. This presents a major clinical problem which narrows the artery. The invention provides a device and a method whereby vascular cells in the area of the artery subjected to the trauma are subjected to irreversible electroporation which is a non-thermal, non-pharmaceutical method of applying electrical pulses to the cells so that substantially all of the cells in the area are ablated while leaving the structure of the vessel in place and substantially unharmed due to the non-thermal nature of the procedure. | 10-01-2009 |

20110034209 | WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY AS A DATA CONDUIT IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL ULTRASONOGRAY - An imaging system, having: an imaging data acquisition device; a remote image reconstruction and data processing facility; and a wireless data transfer to transmit raw data from the data acquisition device to the remote facility. At the facility, the raw data is processed to prepare a diagnostic image that can be transmitted to an expert or non-expert, or transmitted back to the display of the wireless data transfer device. | 02-10-2011 |
20110040204 | NEUROLOGICAL STIMULATION AND ANALYSIS - In one embodiment, a method for neurological interrogation and response analysis is provided. The method includes inducing, at the device, a non-optical excitation for a user. The device comprises a wearable device being worn by the user such that the non-optical excitation can be sensed. A response of a voluntary conscious movement is detected from the user. An outcome is analyzed based on the response and the non-optical excitation. An action can be performed in response to the analysis. | 02-17-2011 |

20130345779 | TWO DIMENSIONAL AND ONE DIMENSIONAL FIELD ELECTROPORATION - The shape and relative positions of two or more electrodes connected to a shaped metal surface are adjusted. By adjusting the shape and position of the electrodes, as well as the shape of the metal surface, the shape of the electrical field generated from the metal surface is precisely defined. The metal surface is brought into contact with cells and the defined electrical field provides reversible or irreversible electroporation to cells in a precisely defined area. The metal surface may be comprised of copper, silver, gold or other conductive material and combinations thereof and the voltage, wattage and duration of electricity applied to the electrodes can be varied to obtain a desired result. | 12-26-2013 |
