ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,453,535, issued on Oct. 28, was assigned to Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (Madison, Wis.).

"Single sensor tensiometer" was invented by Darryl Gerard Thelen (Madison, Wis.), Dylan Gerald Schmitz (Oregon, Wis.) and Stephanie Grace Cone (Newark, Del.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An apparatus for measuring forces in connective tissue employs a single sensor receiving a shear wave, band-limited, wavelet signal from an actuator and processing it to determine a delay for the determination of shear wave speed and related tension or force. Delay may be a combined analysis of a group delay of the wavelet and a phase delay of the wavelet."...
