The following is the text of a July 12, 2021, from Diné College.
TSAILE, Arizona — A Diné College professor has received a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that would make it easier for doctors to diagnose disorders in the brain, heart, intestines, or uterus.
The patent, “Concentric ring electrodes for improved accuracy of Laplacian estimation,” was issued on June 29, 2021. “The patent can be used for various kinds of electrophysiological measurement, such as recording electric signals from brain, heart, muscles, intestines, uterus, etc., for diagnostic purposes,” said Associate Professor Oleksandr Makeyev, who has taught math at the College since 2014.
“While I’ve worked on the concentric ring electrode technology for over a decade now, the research that went into this particular patent was the culmination of several different projects, grants, publications, etc.” said Dr. Oleksandr Makeyev. The results were obtained about a year ago in the middle of the pandemic and then submitted as a patent application on October 9, 2020.
“This could be a first-ever patent for a tribal college,” said Diné College President Charles “Monty” Roessel. “The approval of this scientific patent shows our growth and entrance into academic entrepreneurship field as an institution of higher education and exhibits the highly qualified and esteemed faculty we have educating our students.”
