Patent number: 12544304Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2021Date of Patent: February 10, 2026Assignee: CoFactor Systems, Inc.Inventors: Michael Northen, Alan J.

Publication number: 20250222304Abstract: A novel and effective system is described, for substantially altering one's arterial stiffness. The system combines the use of a commercially available, microprocessor-controlled chair with multiple transducers producing vibrations from the torso to the calves, coupled to an oxygen saturation sensor, and a controller which instructs the user on when and how to breathe. The instruction can include hyperventilation, exhaling and holding out one's breath, taking one breath, and other suggestions for the user, as well as providing information such as SpO2 level, heart rate, heart rate variability and other physiological parameters. When the protocol provided herein is used, together the vibration unit, the SpO2 sensor and the controller cause the significant reduction in the user's arterial stiffness over a time on the order of a month.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2024Publication date: July 10, 2025Applicant: CoFactor Systems, Inc.Inventor: John Foster

Publication number: 20220117837Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Applicant: Cofactor Systems, Inc.Inventors: Michael Northen, Alan J.
