Centurion Patentors as of May 20, 2025

Chad John Kugler
President and CEO – Seigla Medical.
Patent №: 12303652 – Catheters and related devices and methods of manufacture.

Catheters include a thin film polymer layer with a wall thickness of about 0.00025″ to 0.0015″. The film is made by cutting extruded sheets into ribbons, then rolling and sealing them into a tube with a uniform wall and a longitudinal joint formed by heat and pressure.

Patent №: 12303221 – Single-arm robotic device with compact joint design and related systems and methods. Disclosed are robotic surgical systems with two elongate bodies, dual driveshafts, and a robotic arm with an in-line shoulder joint featuring a differential yoke and dual shaft.

Antony Joseph
Design Director / Co-Founder of Joseph Joseph .
Patent №: D1075434 – Combined cutting boards and knife holder.


Seung Hyun Cho
Senior Researcher with the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute.
Seung-Hyun Cho received a B.S. degree from Kwangwoon University, Seoul, Korea, in 1997, and an M.S. degree in electronic materials engineering from Kwangwoon University, in 1999.

The invention decodes video by using spatial and temporal merge candidates to predict a block, selecting the temporal reference from current and co-located picture lists.

Jae Hoon Lee
Principal Engineer at Samsung Display.
Jae-Hoon Lee received a Ph.D. degree in electrical-engineering from Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea, in 2007.
Patent №: 12307972 – Pixel which is capable of preventing a color deviation and display device including the same. A pixel includes a driving transistor, two initialization transistors, two capacitors, and a light-emitting element. The transistors control connections between power lines and nodes, while the capacitors and light emitter manage signal storage and output.

Patent №: 12303947 – Apparatus for cleaning mask. A mask cleaning device includes a cleaning bath with an internal space for cleaning solution, a robot to transfer the mask, and an induction heating unit inside the bath. The heating unit has multiple elements covered by a waterproof layer.
