Latest Patents
One of Chau T Phan's latest patents is titled "Methods and apparatus for microwave tissue welding for wound closure." This invention provides methods for joining biological tissue together, which includes applying a biological solder on a wound. A barrier layer is disposed on the biological solder, and an antenna is positioned in close proximity to the barrier layer. The impedance of the antenna is matched to that of the wound, allowing microwaves from a signal generator to be transmitted through the antenna to weld the tissue pieces together. The power of the microwaves can be adjusted by a control circuit, and the heating profile within the tissue can be controlled by the placement of metallic microspheres around the wound.
Another significant patent is the "Ultrawideband asynchronous tracking system and method." This passive tracking system utilizes a plurality of ultrawideband (UWB) receivers that operate asynchronously with respect to a UWB transmitter. The system's geometry employs multiple clusters, each containing several antennas. Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) is determined for the antennas in each cluster, which is then used to ascertain the Angle of Arrival (AOA). The system also establishes parallel software communication sockets with each UWB receiver, processing waveform data by alternately receiving packets from each receiver. Cross Correlation Peak Detection (CCPD) is employed to estimate TDOA information, effectively reducing errors in noisy, multipath environments.
