US Patent:

6418345, Jul 9, 2002

Filed:

Jul 30, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/365157

Inventors:

John C. Tepper - Carrollton TX
Peter Kuo - Richardson TX
Kathy L. McDermott - Dallas TX

Assignee:

AMEI Technologies Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

A61N 202

US Classification:

607 51, 600 14, 600 15

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for providing PEMF therapy to selected portions of a patients body such as the hips and spine. The apparatus preferably includes at least two transducer coils. Electronics for driving the coils are contained in a housing. The housing is preferably connected to the transducer coil by a flexible cable. The housing preferably includes a battery power supply.

Filed:

Apr 29, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/135662

Inventors:

John C. Tepper - Dallas TX, US
Peter Kuo - Dallas TX, US
Kathy L. McDermott - Dallas TX, US

Assignee:

AMEI Technologies Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

A61N 100

US Classification:

607 51, 600 14

Abstract:

A method for providing electromagnetic therapy to a patient includes placing the patient in proximity to an electromagnetic therapy apparatus. The electromagnetic therapy apparatus includes an electrical circuit for generating an electrical drive signal, a first transducer coil and a second transducer coil for generating respective electromagnetic fields in response to the drive signal, a first portion with a configuration corresponding generally with a chair seat, and a second portion with a configuration corresponding generally with a chair back. The first transducer coil is disposed within the first portion and the second transducer coil is disposed within the second portion. The method further includes stimulating the patient with a pulsed electromagnetic field from at least the first and second transducer coils. The pulsed electromagnetic field having a number of pulses, each pulse having a pulse period of ten microseconds to twenty microseconds.

Filed:

May 26, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/084525

Inventors:

John C. Tepper - Carrollton TX
Peter Kuo - Dallas TX
Michael C. Dinsdale - Richardson TX

International Classification:

A61N 100

US Classification:

600 13

Abstract:

A collar (100) for providing PEMF therapy for the cervical region of the spine. The collar (100) has a single transducer coil (104) and requires no secondary coil. The electronics for driving the coil are contained in a housing (101) that is integral to the collar 100. The housing (101) may also contain a battery for powering the coil (104), whose power usage is sufficiently reduced so as to require only a small battery.

Assignee:

AMEI Technologies, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

A61N 200
A61N 202

US Classification:

600 14

Abstract:

A PEMF stimulation therapy system uses a PEMF transducer coil for generating PEMF stimulation signals and includes a single-winding transducer coil. A drive circuit recovers flyback energy from the single-winding transducer coil and dumps the voltage to a voltage supply equal to a predetermined high voltage that differs from supply voltage. This permits sequencing the current through the PEMF transducer coil in a positive direction and then negative direction. The result is a PEMF stimulation therapy system that may use a commercially available, low-cost battery for power and that is significantly lighter and more portable than known PEMF stimulation therapy systems.

Assignee:

AMEI Technologies, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

A61N 204
A61N 202

US Classification:

600 14

Abstract:

A PEMF therapy system uses a bi-phasic coil PEMF transducer for generating PEMF stimulation signals. The coil has a "bi-phasic" operation, such that current flows through it in two directions. A drive circuit recovers the flyback energy from the transducer coil and dumps voltage to an energy recovery capacitance circuit. The transducer is thereby energized and de-energized to provide the electromagnetic field. The same concepts are applicable to series-connected coils. The transducer is especially suited for high frequency operation.
