Tender Details

Opportunity
lawrence livermore national laboratory (llnl), operated by the lawrence livermore national security (llns), llc under contract no. De-ac52-07na27344 (contract 44) with the u.s. Department of energy (doe), is offering the opportunity to license an innovative neurotechnology to further develop and commercialize.
Background
lawrence livermore national laboratory (llnl) played a critical role in developing the world's first artificial retina. Also known as the "bionic eye, " this retinal prosthesis was developed for people blinded by retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration. Llnl engineers developed a flexible microelectrode array that conforms to the curved shape of the retina. Second sight, a company that collaborated with llnl, developed it further and received approval by the u.s. Food and drug administration (fda) as the first high-density, microfabricated, and fully implantable neural prosthetic ever produced. The device partially restores sight to blind individuals.
Description
il11207: high density polymer-based integrated electrode array (us patent 7, 035, 692)
this invention is a high-density polymer-based integrated electrode apparatus that comprises a central electrode body and multiple arms extending from the electrode body. The central electrode body with multiple arms is comprised of a silicone material with metal features in the silicone material, which comprises electronic circuits.
An advantage of this design is increased density of electrodes to meet increased resolution for devices, such as artificial vision and hearing implants.
Potential applications
this technology may find use in artificial vision and hearing implants, shaped acoustic transducers, formed non-destructive biological sensors and stimulators for interfacing with the human body, and stimulators for virtual reality simulators.
Additional uses may include any situation where an electrode conforms to various shapes...
