  • Publication number: 20150246243
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing having a treatment surface, a light source disposed adjacent the treatment surface and configured to emit dynamic photonic energy, a thermal element disposed adjacent the treatment surface and configured to emit dynamic thermal kinetic energy, and a controller disposed in the housing, the controller in communication with the light source and the thermal element to vary a plurality of parameters of the light source and the thermal element to control the characteristics of the dynamic photonic energy and the dynamic thermal kinetic energy emitted thereby. The treatment surface can also house a variety of sensors that can capture a variety of physical and chemical data, which is integrated with a malleable energy composition and delivery system that co-ordinates with the treatment progress.

  • Publication number: 20110088463
    Abstract: A measurement device includes a housing, a sensor disposed in the housing to measure a force exerted on the housing and generate a signal representing the force exerted on the housing, and a digital display for receiving the signal from the sensor and presenting a visual output to a user based upon the force exerted on the housing.

  • Patent number: 6187029
    Abstract: An improved photo-thermal treatment device is disclosed which is ergonomically shaped to facilitate photo-thermal treatment of a wide variety of surface portions of the human anatomy. The device incorporates a plurality of spaced infrared diodes which are actuated sequentially so as to inhibit body adaptation which may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Additionally, a single point diode is provided at one end of the device which is specifically designed for localized point treatment of other body surface areas.

  • Patent number: 5024236
    Abstract: A relatively compact easily portable photoprobe assembly is disclosed which includes an electric probe for locating acupuncture points and a light emitting diode to stimulate acupuncture points as well as injury sites. The probe and light emitting diode are controlled by an internal circuit which operates to provide a visual indication of the precise location of the desired treatment area via an impedance variation procedure as well as to pulse the light emitting diode at the desired frequency. A power supply is also contained within the assembly to render it completely portable.
