Jorge N. Amely Vélez [note 1] (born 1955), is an electrical engineer and inventor who holds various patents in the field of Medical Technology.

Early years

Amely Vélez was born in the town of San German which is located in the western region of Puerto Rico. There he received his primary and secondary education. In 1974, he graduated from Lola Rodriguez de Tio High School and continued his education at the Mayagüez campus of the University of Puerto Rico. After earning his Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, he moved to California and attended California State University at Northridge. In 1989, he earned his Master's degree in Bio-Medical Engineering through a grant from the Hughes Aircraft Company Fellowship Program. This scholarship program is offered to outstanding bachelor degree students through the Hughes Aircraft Company.[1]

Patented inventions

Among Amely Vélez's inventions are two which involve the methods and apparatuses for timing events within an implantable medical device capable of performing many concurrent processes.[2][3] He authored a method to help prevent defibrillator output stage short circuit failures in implantable devices.[4] Amely Vélez invented methods for a microprocessor-based implantable device to have a configurable memory to assist in software development and patching "Read Only Memory" (ROM) based systems.[5][6] He coauthored inventions in the field of rechargeable batteries for implantable devices[7] and holds a patent for intracardiac lead impedance measurements using a painless waveform.[8] He also holds another patent for an implantable defibrillator with sensing and pacing auto-capture capabilities.[9]

Patents pending

Amely Vélez has other patents pending. He is the coauthor of a pending patent for radio frequency antennas in implantable devices. Other pending patents cover work related to magnetic and electric noise shielding in medical devices.[10]

Written work

Amely Vélez is the author of a book titled "FIR Filters with Specified Group Delay", which was published by the California State University, Northridge, in 1989.[11]
