Technology Development Secures Three New Patents for FAU Researchers
The Office of Technology Development recently received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granting three patents for technologies created by FAU researchers.
- The first two patents relate to the technology “System and Methods for Guiding a Multi-Pole Sensor Catheter to Locate Cardiac Arrhythmia Sources” created by Behnaz Ghoraani, an assistant professor, and Prasanth Ganesan, a graduate student, both of the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The technology uses a probabilistic algorithm to guide the movement of a multi-pole diagnostic catheter in the atria of the human heart to develop an atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation target map, which reveals the locations of any AF sources in the atria.
- The third patent was granted for the technology “Systems and Methods for Larval Fish Enumeration and Growth Monitoring” created by Bing Ouyang, an associate research professor; Paul Wills, a research professor; Fraser Dalgleish, an adjunct professor; and Anni Dalgleish, an assistant research professor, all of the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. This new technology uses a light field rendering camera and strobe light to capture images of larval fish, which are then processed, enhanced, and analyzed with a proprietary algorithm. The system can reduce feed costs, improve survivability, and lower production costs of aquaculture.
