ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 2 -- United States Patent no. 12,487,677, issued on Dec. 2, was assigned to The Regents of the University of California (Oakland, Calif.).
"Digitally assisted sensor recording circuit with continuous offset cancellation" was invented by Nader Fathy (La Jolla, Calif.) and Patrick Mercier (La Jolla, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for obtaining neural signals from a neural signal sensor includes extracting sensor offset from a neural input signal. Sensor offset is removed from N-channels that share a single amplifier. The neural input signal is acquired from the analog domain by neural electrodes with varying DC-offset and the method includes multiplexing th...
