Abstract: A therapeutic massage chair is reclinable between a horizontal and inclined position. The chair includes an upper back support member and a lower support member that is axially movable along a support frame, and is also rotatable about an axis which is perpendicular to the plane of the upper back support member. Electric linear actuators are provided to both axially move and oscillate the lower body support member.

The chair includes an upper back support member and a lower support member that is axially movable along a support frame, and is also rotatable about an axis which is perpendicular to the plane of the upper back support member. Electric linear actuators are provided to recline the therapeutic massage chair, and both axially move and oscillate the lower body support member. The therapeutic massage chair may be fitted with a controller system which allows the chair to be operated wirelessly from a mobile device running a mobile application, which may communicate with a web-based portal and/or database.

Abstract: A method of treating knee abnormalities includes securing the portion of the leg above the knee to a stationary object and securing the portion of the leg below the knee to a movable support. A force is applied to the movable support to stretch the knee joint. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed. The apparatus may be fitted with a controller system which allows the apparatus to be operated wirelessly from a mobile device running a mobile application, which may communicate with a web-based portal and/or database.

Abstract: Method and apparatus varies the oxygen concentration level of air delivered to a person for treatment on training purposes. The apparatus includes a display device for displaying current physiological data as well as data from previous sessions for comparison purpose. The oxygen level is precisely controlled by a central processing unit in response to input data from the person.

Abstract: A method for determining the position and/or orientation of a catheter or other interventional access device or surgical probe using phase patterns in a magnetic resonance (MR) signal. In the method of the invention, global two-dimensional correlations are used to identify the phase pattern around individual microcoils, which is unique for each microcoil's position and orientation. In one embodiment the position and orientation of a catheter tip can be reliably tracked using low resolution MR scans clinically useful for real-time interventional MRI applications.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for effecting periodic current reversal in metal electro-deposition processes are disclosed. By using a circuit in which the current always flows in the same direction through a filter reactor, regardless of the current flow through the electro-deposition cell, faster reversal switching times are obtained. The overshoot and AC ripple encountered on current reversal are also decreased.
