Abstract: Systems and methods of delivering a therapeutic session to affect a mental or an emotional state of a user include providing a wearable stimulation device having a transducer adapted to generate tactile transcutaneous vibratory output; with a user interface, obtaining data regarding an event to be experienced by the user; communicating the data regarding an event to be experienced by the user to a computer processor; with the computer processor, creating a therapeutic session parameters comprising the following steps: assigning a set of contiguous output segments for the event, and based on the event, assigning a perceived pitch of transcutaneous vibratory output and a perceived beat of transcutaneous vibratory output to each output segment; sending, from the computer processor, the therapeutic session parameters to the transducer; and generating, with the transducer, transcutaneous vibratory output for the therapeutic session based on the therapeutic session parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods of treating a sleep disorder of a subject include providing a therapeutic stimulation device comprising a transducer configured to emit transcutaneous vibratory output to a body part of the subject; generating physiological data with a worn sensor and providing it to a processor; providing a stimulation pattern for transcutaneous vibratory output to be emitted by the transducer comprising a perceived pitch, a perceived beat, and an intensity; causing the transducer to emit the transcutaneous vibratory output in the stimulation pattern; determining if the subject is in a pre-sleep state or a sleep state based on the physiological data; and altering the stimulation pattern based on determining the subject is in at least one of a pre-sleep state or a sleep state comprising at least one of (i) reducing a frequency of the perceived pitch, (ii) increasing an interval of the perceived beat, or (iii) reducing the intensity.

Abstract: Systems and methods of assisting a subject to reach a target state of sexual arousal include obtaining input of the target state of the subject; and generating a transcutaneous vibratory output to be applied to a portion of a body of the subject to assist the subject in achieving the target state of sexual arousal, the transcutaneous vibratory output having variable parameters comprising a perceived pitch, a perceived beat, and a perceived intensity wherein the step of generating the transcutaneous vibratory output further comprises the step of modifying the variable parameters to correspond to the target state.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein relate to augmenting a treatment modality. A method of providing stimulation therapy to a user may include generating transcutaneous vibratory output comprising one or more variable parameters, subjecting the user, in conjunction with the transcutaneous vibratory output, to a treatment modality, wherein the one or more variable parameters of the transcutaneous vibratory output comprise at least one of a perceived pitch, a perceived beat, a perceived intensity, an envelope, or a base tone, and at least one of selecting or modifying the one or more variable parameters of the transcutaneous vibratory output to augment the treatment modality.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein relate to causing an epigenetic change in a user. The methods include measuring an epigenetic marker in the user, wherein the epigenetic marker is at least one of a regulation of a protein or a gene; or a methylation, acetylation, or phosphorylation status of at least one of a gene, histone, or portion of DNA. The methods further include subjecting a user to a first transcutaneous vibratory output selected to assist the user in achieving a target state, the first transcutaneous vibratory output comprising a first perceived pitch, a first perceived beat, and a perceived intensity, and repeating the measurement of the epigenetic marker to identify a change in an aspect of the epigenetic marker as a result of subjecting the user to the first transcutaneous vibratory output.

Abstract: Delivering vibratory therapy to a user may include using a system with a first transducer adapted to emit a first transcutaneous vibratory output; a second transducer adapted to emit a second transcutaneous vibratory output; and a processor in electronic communication with a user interface, the first transducer, and the second transducer, wherein the user interface accepts a user target state. The processor may be programmed to (i) generate a first transcutaneous vibratory output pattern comprising a first perceived pitch, a first perceived beat, and a first intensity; (ii) generate a second transcutaneous vibratory output pattern comprising a second perceived pitch, a second perceived beat, and a second intensity; (iii) cause the first transducer to emit a first transcutaneous vibratory output based on the first transcutaneous vibratory output pattern; and (iv) cause the second transducer to emit a second transcutaneous vibratory output based on the second transcutaneous vibratory output pattern.

Abstract: A video data acquisition system takes at least two snapshot views of selected points on a golf ball in the immediate post-launch time period. Analog video data are converted to digital data for analysis in an external system.A trigger generator, of a type well known in the art, senses the existence of a certain set of conditions associated with the launch of the golf ball and thereupon generates a set of precisely timed impulses which trigger the following sequence of events:(a) prepare TV camera to receive data(b) trigger first flash(c) trigger second flash(d) read out data from TV camera.
