  • Patent number: 10898708
    Abstract: Systems and methods for applying a pulsed electromagnetic fields. A system for applying a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) to a cell, comprising: a sensor for obtaining a characteristic of the cell; a memory module having stored therein a plurality of characteristics and PEMF efficacy window data, each characteristic having its corresponding PEMF efficacy window data; a pulse generator coupled to a set of PEMF coils and configured to generate an output of electrical pulses to drive the set of PEMF coils; and a controller in communication with the sensor, the memory module and the pulse generator, wherein the controller is configured to: retrieve, from the memory module, the PEMF efficacy window data that corresponds to the characteristic of the cell obtained by the sensor; and control the output of the pulse generator based on the retrieved PEMF efficacy window data such that the set of PEMF coils apply a PEMF in accordance with the PEMF efficacy window data.

  • Publication number: 20130023769
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a device for penetrating a tissue of a subject. The device comprises a tissue penetrating portion having a tissue penetrating end. The device further comprises an ultrasonic scanner coupled to the tissue penetrating portion. The ultrasonic scanner comprises an ultrasound transduction circuit being configured to generate and transmit ultrasound waves to the subject and to receive returned sound waves echoed from the subject. The ultrasonic scanner further comprises a pulse generating circuit being configured to generate an electrical pulse so that the ultrasound transduction circuit is triggered to generate and transmit ultrasound waves.
