Latest Patents

Vonk's latest patents include "Pulse generation techniques for implantable pulse generator systems." This invention focuses on tri-phasic pulse generation techniques that utilize a pre-stimulus phase, a stimulus phase, and a post-stimulus phase within a pulse generation cycle. During the pre-stimulus phase, an output capacitor is charged to a desired voltage level. The capacitor is then discharged during the stimulus phase, and recharging begins again in the post-stimulus phase. Notably, the charging of the output capacitor can be terminated during the post-stimulus phase once a measured voltage in the patient meets or exceeds a specified threshold.

Another significant patent is the "Method and system for atrial capture detection based on far-field R-wave sensing." This method provides a way to detect atrial capture by establishing stable far-field R-wave (FFRW) sensing. After confirming the presence of stable FFRW sensing, atrial capture can be detected by monitoring the FFRW in a predetermined detection window following an atr
