Patents and publication
Two national patents registered in Iran, both from the surface-EMG instrumentation work at Ferdowsi University, plus one IEEE paper. Full fact sheets for each patent:
Patent · IR Reg. 107343 · 2022
Electromyography System with an Adjustable Automatic Amplifier for Each Muscle
A 16-channel sEMG system that sets amplifier gain per muscle in software, so every channel fills the converter range instead of clipping on strong muscles and wasting resolution on weak ones.

Active Dry Electrodes for Recording Electromyography Signals in Muscle
A dry Ag/AgCl electrode carrying its own instrumentation amplifier, filter chain and 16-bit converter directly behind the contact. No gel, no consumable.
