  • Ultrasound stimulation devices and techniques
    Patent number: 8292834
    Abstract: Ultrasound stimulation devices and related techniques are disclosed. An ultrasound transducer for generating ultrasound energy is carried by a transducer housing that seals the transducer and may also include a positioning element for positioning the transducer proximate an application area to which generated ultrasound energy is to be applied. The transducer housing may also carry such components as a battery, a wireless receiver, and a controller. The same housing or a separate sensor housing may include an ultrasound sensor that provides feedback to the ultrasound transducer or its controller, illustratively through a wireless transmitter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 10, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 23, 2012
    Assignee: The Governors of the University of Alberta
    Inventors: Tarek Hessin Ahmed El-Bialy, Jie Chen, Ying Yin Tsui
