  • Patent number: 11445959
    Abstract: The present application provides a method and an apparatus of modulating a neuronal firing frequency at a brain functional site in a brain, the method comprising: generating an electromagnetic field with its power in variation at the preset modulating frequency; and arranging the generated electromagnetic field near the brain such that the brain functional site is within the range of the near field of the electromagnetic field, to polarize extracellular fluid at the brain functional site with the power of the electromagnetic field, such that a polarization density of the extracellular fluid varies at the preset modulating frequency and neurons in the extracellular fluid are modulated to fire at the preset modulating frequency.

  • Patent number: 11395617
    Abstract: The present application provides a method and an apparatus of actively sensing a neuronal firing frequency at a functional site in a brain, the method comprising: generating a varying electromagnetic field and acting a near field of the generated electromagnetic field on a targeted brain functional site; sensing the alteration of the electromagnetic field at the targeted brain functional site; and determining a variation frequency of the alteration of the electromagnetic field at the targeted brain functional site as the neuronal firing frequency at the targeted brain functional site.

  • Publication number: 20210128051
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for monitoring activities of Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) for preventive medicine comprising: a sensing device configured to sense an involuntary control signal from the ANS of a subject in sleep; and an analyzing device configured to analyze the sensed involuntary control signal received from the sensing device to evaluate a dynamic health condition of the subject, and output the evaluated dynamic health condition.

  • Publication number: 20190125251
    Abstract: A method and apparatus manage a sleep mode of a brain by measuring a sleep depth as well as a sleep stage of the brain in the sleep mode. A damping/blocking level of a reticular formation is measured in descending motor cortex-emitted idle impulses to at least one part of a body.

  • Publication number: 20170021200
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for a bleedingless surgical tool that induces cavitation in blood vessel, tissue, and/or body fluid to facilitate platelet plug formation and induces cavitation together with a temperature rise to facilitate fibrin formation, inducing and enhancing blood clotting such that bleeding does not occur while cutting is in progress. The present invention is further a bleedingless surgical tool comprising a cutting portion of the surgical tool and an ultrasonic vibration generating portion forming by an ultrasonic alternating power source and an ultrasonic vibration transducer, which during cutting of live tissues and blood vessels induces cavitation in the blood vessel, tissue, and/or body fluid to facilitate platelet plug formation and induces cavitation and temperature rise to facilitate fibrin formation, inducing and enhancing blood clotting such that bleeding does not occur while the cutting is in progress.
