Abstract: Magnet spirals for therapeutic application with a minimum one foil strip made of a rubber-type flexible, preferably skin compatible, plastic which is coiled up along its lengthwise dimension in the form of a spiral, whereby the foil strip is magnetically polarized in an axial (perpendicular) direction relative to its longer lateral faces prior to coiling. The longer lateral faces of the foil strip are magnetically polarized in an axial direction of the foil—that is, in the thickness direction of the foil strip, preferably up to its total saturation. In the coiled condition of the foil, one side of the lateral area thus faces the other side of the lateral area. Starting at the center, this configuration creates, in a radial direction, a sequence of varying magnetic polarizations within the cross section of the magnet spiral. The effect of this series arrangement of the magnetic polarizations causes the creation of a particularly strong magnetic field in the vicinity of the magnet spiral.

Abstract: A device and method for magnetic stimulation of muscles for the diagnosis and relief of a breathing disorder, such as obstructive sleep apnea is disclosed. Magnetic stimulation is used to stimulate muscles which serve to stabilize the upper airway of an individual whose nocturnal apneic events are related to diminished muscle tone. A sensor monitors a physiologic characteristic of the patient, a coil is energized to stimulate the appropriate muscles associated with the upper airway, a power supply provides power for energizing the coil, and a control system controls the application of power to the coil based on the output of the sensor. Diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea is accomplished by measuring the subject's compliance in the presence and absence of the magnetic stimulation of the upper airway muscles. The smaller the difference between these two compliance levels, the more likely that patient suffers from obstructive sleep apnea.

The effect of this series arrangement of the magnetic polarizations causes the creation of a particularly strong magnetic field in the vicinity of the magnet spiral.

Abstract: A vertically-oversized belt supporting specially-strong magnets whose strategic exposure over a selected area of a wearer's torso, including the belly, buttocks, back, lateral or upper abdomen, progressively disintegrates fat and discourages its storage there. More specifically, a plurality of magnets are arranged on the larger center of a supporting portion whose flexibility and overlapping left strap and right strap, with their interlocking left slit and right slit, form a flap-in-slot fastener that attaches the whole belt around the wearer's torso. To reinforce this snug-fitting attachment, an accessory magnet can optionally be placed magnetically over the interlocking, overlapping straps. The prolonged wearability of this magnetic apparatus enables enough exposure to magnetic fields of sufficient strength and surface area to reduce musculoskeletal pain and counteract fat within the wearer's torso, thereby improving health and appearance.

Abstract: The basic principle in repairing retinal detachments is closing the retinal break. An internal tamponade is a material suitable for intraocular use which is used to directly close a retinal break. A scleral buckle is a flexible device which can conform to and allow movement of the sclera. A new method to treat retinal detachment is to combine usage of a magnetic fluid tamponade with a magnetized flexible scleral buckle, which effects tamponade of the retina without interfering with vision. A substantial percentage of complicated retinal detachments currently go on to blindness despite multiple attempts at surgical intervention because of our inability to tamponade retinal breaks in certain locations. In a cross-sectional view of the eye, the retina and choroids sit on the sclera. Each break in the retina therefore sits on a specific location on the sclera.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for simulating the look, sounds and vibrations of a genuine transcranial magnetic stimulator (“TMS”), while keeping the induced current reaching the patient low. The invention involves a sham TMS which presents the appearance of a genuine TMS, but which, in fact, does not operate as would a genuine TMS, because the induced current provided to the patient is captured by an aluminum shroud overlaying the end faces of the core of the TMS. The sham TMS may be used to provide a control in a medical study seeking to compare the results obtained by a genuine TMS with a sham TMS. Because the sham TMS appears to be genuine to the operator of the sham TMS and to the patient, the results of the medical study are not influenced by the knowledge of the operator and/or patient as to whether the TMS device is genuine or sham.
