Publication number: 20230173257Abstract: Methods and apparatus for inducing neurogenesis within a human. The invention utilizes an implantable signal generator to deliver high frequency stimulation to deep brain tissue elements. The implanted device delivers treatment therapy to the brain to thereby induce neurogenesis by the human. A sensor may be used to detect various symptoms of nervous system discovery. A microprocessor algorithm may then analyze the output from the sensor to regulate the stimulation and/or drug therapy delivered to the brain.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: Functional Neuromodulation, Inc.Inventors: Andres M.

Patent number: 7633769Abstract: First and second semiconductor switches which are activated alternately are provided between ends of a primary winding and a common potential point, wherein a DC power supply voltage is supplied to a center tap. An electric current flowing into a load is fed back to thereby subject the semiconductor switches to PWM control. Series circuits consisting of capacitors and semiconductor switches are connected between the center tap of the primary winding and the ends of the same. The semiconductor switches are activated in synchronism with the first and second semiconductor switches, thereby preventing occurrence of an anomalous high voltage, which would otherwise be caused at the time of switching operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2007Date of Patent: December 15, 2009Assignee: Rohm Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroki Toda, Kenichi Fukumoto, Yosuke Aoyagi, Hiroyuki Fujita
