  • Patent number: 8855732
    Abstract: In a non-invasive human metabolic condition measuring apparatus and method, a micro-light source emits an incident light having a wavelength from 329 nm to 473 nm to trigger a mitochondrial metabolite of a human mucosa tissue, and the metabolite is excited to generate a fluorescent signal having a wavelength from 405 nm to 572 nm, and the fluorescent signal is filtered by an optical filter, received by a micro receiver, and amplified by an amplification circuit sequentially, and then a filter circuit and an analog/digital conversion circuit of a microprocessing unit are provided for filtering and performing an analog/digital signal conversion respectively, so that the metabolite content can be calculated by the computation to provide human metabolic conditions, and a combination of micro components and circuits is used for miniaturizing the apparatus to provide a convenient carry of the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20120245409
    Abstract: A device for converting music signals into electrical stimulation is revealed. The device for converting music signals into electrical stimulation includes a switching device. The switching device is disposed with an amplifier whose input end is connected to a music player while an output end of the amplifier is connected to a voltage/current converter. A stimulating electrode is at an output end of the voltage/current converter. Music signals are input through the music player, amplified by the amplifier, and converted by the voltage/current converter. Thus the stimulating electrode at the output end stimulates users' acupuncture points for treatment of insomnia. Thereby the treatment of insomnia is effective and the sleep quality is improved. The switching device is with a high practical value.

  • Publication number: 20110137105
    Abstract: The portable magnetic field stimulator of the present invention has a microcontroller which sets sinusoidal wave or pulse voltage signals of different frequency, intensity, duty cycle through a manipulation interface, and inputs the signals to a pulse type voltage/current conversion circuit or sinusoidal wave type voltage/current conversion circuit. Finally, the current is transported to the stimulating coil to produce sinusoidal wave or pulse wave magnetic field having direct current level with frequency 1˜2 kHz and with magnetic flux 1˜300 Gauss. Thereby, not only the variation of frequency can be controlled but also the other subtle parameters such as duty cycle, multi wave form switching are also able to be manipulated and set, and different stimulating wave form of sinusoidal wave or pulse can also be produced. In addition, it can be applied in diversified symptoms.

  • Publication number: 20110137106
    Abstract: A magnetic clip for ear acupuncture points comprises a first clip body and a second clip body. An insulation cap is provided on one side of the first clip body, and then a first magnetic body is accommodated between the first clip body and the insulation cap. The second clip body is provided with a second magnetic body. The first magnetic body and the second magnetic body are coupled with lead wires respectively which in turn are both connected to an electric stimulator. The first magnetic body and the second magnetic body can sandwich the ear to be treated between them by magnetic force which is used simultaneously to conduct magnetic therapy on ear acupuncture points. The electric stimulator can also send electric current to the magnetic bodies through the lead wires, so as to conduct electric therapy via the stimulating probe.
