  • Patent number: 12097163
    Abstract: A device is described for delivering a therapeutic vibration to a body. The device may include at least two motors in a housing with unbalanced masses coupled to their axles, such that vibration of the masses causes the two motors and housing to vibrate at a beat frequency 80. The motors and housing may be coupled to the body via a platform which places the motors and housings at or near a resonant structure in the body, creating a coupled oscillation between the platform and the body. The vibration may be based on the input signal, such that the system applies the vibration based on the input signal to the user, wherein the signal may be an audio or video signal. The system may be configured to measure and manipulate the flow of cerebral spinal fluid.

  • Publication number: 20220117837
    Abstract: A device is described which can measure changes in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) pressure as a function of body tilt, with an added feature of delivering particular vibrations to a body. By measuring changes in CSF pressure with tilt, one can determine, among other things, a body's ability to regulate CSF pressure. In addition, when coupled with the delivery of therapeutic vibration to a body, an improvement in CSF pressure regulation and patency can be established. The device may include at least two motors in a housing with unbalanced masses coupled to their axles, such that vibration of the masses causes the two motors and housing to vibrate at a beat frequency 80. The motors and housing may be coupled to the body via a platform which places the motors and housings at or near a resonant structure in the body, creating a coupled oscillation between the platform and the body.
