Inventor Recognitions with Centurion Plus Utility Patents as of July 25, 2023

Jaeho Kim

Sr. Principal Scientist at Physio-Control, now part of Stryker.

Research/System engineer with 15 plus years of experience and 100 US patents in the area of medical devices. Extensive experience in LabView based computer simulation of system features, new algorithm development using databases, enhancing cardiac signal detection algorithms and analysis of field cases to support tech services.

Patent №: 11707632 (July 25, 2023) – Wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) system reacting to high-amplitude ECG noise.

In this system, a wearable WCD (Wearable Cardioverter-Defibrillator) is used by an ambulatory patient. The WCD continuously analyzes the patient’s ECG signal to determine if an electric shock is needed to restart the heart. Before delivering the shock, the system gives a preliminary alarm to the patient, asking them to respond if they are conscious. Additionally, the system checks for High Amplitude (H-A) noise in the ECG signal, which can affect the analysis. If excessive H-A noise is detected for an extended period, the system alerts the patient about their activity to reduce the noise. It may even pause the ECG signal analysis until the noise is reduced, preventing false alarms.

Kenneth A Feldmann

Professor at The University of Arizona.

Patent №: 11708582 (July 25, 2023) –Nucleotide sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby useful for modifying plant characteristics.

Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded thereby are described, together with the use of those products for making transgenic plants with increased tolerance to abiotic stress (e.g., high or low temperature, drought, flood).

Patent №: 11708301 (July 25, 2023) – Glass article and method for producing the same.

The method for producing a glass article involves preparing a glass with a low-refractive surface layer on the glass bulk. The process includes etching the low-refractive surface layer by cleaning it first with an acid solution and then with a base solution.

Tse-Yao Huang

Program Manager at Nan Ya Technology Corporation.

Patent №: 11710696 (July 25, 2023) –Semiconductor device with programmable unit and method for fabricating the same.

The application discloses a semiconductor device with a programmable unit and its fabrication method. The device comprises a substrate with a bottom conductive layer and two gate structures. The first gate structure includes a first gate dielectric layer, a first work function layer, and a first filler layer. The second gate structure includes a second gate dielectric layer, a second work function layer, and a second filler layer. Additionally, the device has a conductive plug connected to the bottom conductive layer and a top conductive layer connected to both gate structures.
