  • Publication number: 20220273483
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for disrupting or preventing snore and sleep apnea comprising an inflatable headgear that is configured to be inflated and deflated by an air inflator through a tube, wherein the air inflator is actuated by the control commands sent to a control unit from a processing unit, upon detection of a trigger event by means of a sensor, wherein the movement caused by the inflation and deflation of the inflatable headgear may move the head of a user and disrupt or prevent snore and sleep apnea.

  • Patent number: 11318039
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for snore disrupting and prevention are disclosed. One apparatus includes: an inflatable bladder assembly configured to inflate and deflate to move a head of a user; a conduit connected to the bladder assembly and configured to extend at a distance from the bladder assembly; an air inflator connected to the conduit for inflating the bladder assembly through the conduit, the air inflator being at the distance from the bladder assembly when in use to minimize noise, radiation or discomfort for the user a controller in communication with the air inflator to actuate the air inflator to inflate the bladder assembly; and an audio processor in communication with the controller, the audio processor being configured to detect sound waves and transmit control commands to the controller to trigger cyclical actuation of the air inflator upon a trigger event.

  • Patent number: 10434005
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for disrupting or preventing snoring are provided. One apparatus includes a bladder assembly comprising a collapsible structure and an inflatable bladder positioned within the collapsible structure, a conduit connecting an air inflator to the inflatable bladder, a controller in communication with the air inflator to actuate the air inflator to inflate the inflatable bladder, and an audio processor in communication with the controller. The inflatable bladder is configured to be inflated such that an entire top surface of the collapsible structure rises simultaneously along a length of the bladder assembly while the collapsible structure supports a head of a user. The audio processor is configured to detect sound waves and transmit control commands to the controller to trigger actuation of the air inflator upon detection of a trigger event.

  • Publication number: 20180071133
    Abstract: A snore disrupting method and system is presented, comprising an expansion unit, an air pressure supply or an inflator unit, and an electronic circuit. The invention may further comprise a wired or wireless microphone transmitter. The expansion unit may be placed underneath a pillow, inside a pillowcase. The expansion unit is inflated and deflated by the inflator unit and through expanding and increasing in volume and deflating and reducing in volume changes the position of snorer's head, hence disrupting the snoring. The expansion unit may comprise at least one bladder placed within a sleeve structure, where the expansion and volume increase of the one or plurality of bladders expands the sleeve structure as well and extends and transfers the expansion through the length of the sleeve structure, therefore displacing the pillow along the length of the sleeve structure.
