Award List:

Field Deployable Electroencephalogram (EEG) for Assessing Nonconvulsive Seizures

Award Year / Program / Phase: 2005 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency / Branch: DOD / ARMY
Principal Investigator: Kenneth S. Guillory, Director, Research and Development
Award Amount: $69,628.00
Abstract:
The goal of this program is to produce a small disposable forehead patch for quickly detecting non-convulsive seizures in an unconscious patient. The patch device will include a small coin battery, surface electrodes, EEG processing electronics, and LED indicators. The patch is activated by… More

Advanced multi-axis control system using Blind Source surface EMG

Award Year / Program / Phase: 2005 / STTR / Phase I
Agency / Branch: DOD / OSD
Research Institution: UNIV. OF UTAH
Principal Investigator: Shane Guillory, Director, Research and Development
Award Amount: $99,950.00
RI Contact: Mark Bromberg
Abstract:
The goal of this program is to use Blind Source Separation (BSS) signal processing techniques to create a novel multi-axis controller for prosthetic limbs based on surface EMG electrode array recordings.

System for Non-Invasive EMG Motor Unit Recording

Award Year / Program / Phase: 2005 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency: HHS
Principal Investigator: Kenneth S. Guillory
Award Amount: $99,905.00
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this program is to create a clinical system for non-invasively recording EMG motor unit signals. This system will use Blind Source Deconvolution (BSD) signal processing techniques to collect these signals with surface electrode arrays, rather than… More

Local Telemetry System for Microelectrode Recording

Award Year / Program / Phase: 2006 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency: HHS
Principal Investigator: Kenneth S. Guillory
Award Amount: $98,845.00
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this program is to create miniature, low-power neural signal recording headstages with short-range digital RF telemetry. These systems will provide untethered recording capabilities for up to 128 extracellular microelectrodes for animals as small as… More

Fully Implantable Eye Blink Motor Neuroprosthesis for Facial Nerve Paralysis

Award Year / Program / Phase: 2006 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency: HHS
Principal Investigator: Daniel A. Mcdonnall
Award Amount: $99,375.00
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this program is to create a totally implantable stimulator device that can restore eye blink in patients with unilateral facial nerve paralysis. The system will record EMG from the intact eye to detect normal blink and stimulate the muscle of the… More

Field Deployable Electroencephalogram (EEG) for Assessing Nonconvulsive Seizures

Principal Investigator: K. S. Guillory, President, and Director o
Award Amount: $729,865.00
Abstract:
The goal of this program is to produce a small disposable forehead patch for quickly detecting non-convulsive seizures in an unconscious patient. The patch device will include a small coin battery, surface electrodes, EEG processing electronics, and LED indicators. The patch is activated by… More

Wireless Subdural Electrode Array

Award Year / Program / Phase: 2008 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency: HHS
Principal Investigator:
Award Amount: $1,875,443.00
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this translational SBIR program, we will develop a totally implantable, wireless, subdural electrode grid for short-term cortical EEG monitoring (less than 30 days). This device will be based upon novel manufacturin g processes that will allow synthesis of… More

Blink Prosthesis for Facial Paralysis Patients

Award Year / Program / Phase: 2009 / SBIR / Phase II
Agency: HHS
Principal Investigator: Daniel Mcdonnall
Award Amount: $1,312,887.00
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this program is to create an implantable stimulator device to restore functional eye blink in patients with unilateral facial nerve paralysis. The system will electrically stimulate the paretic eyelid when E MG electrodes detect normal blink from the… More

Implantable Myoelectric Recording Array for Control of Prostheses

Award Year / Program / Phase: 2011 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency: HHS
Principal Investigator: Daniel Mcdonnall – 801-413-0139
Award Amount: $449,726.00
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this translational SBIR program is to create a small, implantable system for recording myoelectric signals from residual and reinnervated muscles of individuals with forearm and other amputations. The signals will be wirelessly coupled to an external… More
