  • Publication number: 20200171267
    Abstract: A head worn device for treating neurogenerative diseases. The head worn device has LEDs mounted to the device. Two printed circuit boards (PCB) are also mounted on the head worn device. Each PCB has a microprocessor and a battery in electrical communication. Each PCB controls a speaker for emitting audio and a vibrating device for emitting a vibration. The LEDs, speaker and vibrating device are in electrical communication with the microprocessor. The microprocessor is programmed to control the LEDs, the speaker and the vibrating device so that each operate at a regulated frequency so that generated light, sound and vibration travel to the user's brain for medical treatment.

  • Publication number: 20180362914
    Abstract: A rotating bioreactor. A bioreactor base has a cover support section positioned within the base. Air holes extend through the base and connect to the cover support section. An air permeable membrane is positioned on top of the cover support section and covers the air holes. A base cover has a chamber tube extending through the base cover. The base cover is inserted onto the base and is supported by the cover support section. A sealing mechanism is positioned between the base cover and membrane. A septum is attached to the base cover. A cell containment chamber is formed within the rotating bioreactor and is bordered by the membrane, the sealing mechanism, the chamber tube and the septum. The cell containment chamber is air permeable but water and fluid impermeable.

  • Publication number: 20180333590
    Abstract: A head worn device for treating Alzheimer's disease. The head worn device has LEDs mounted to the device. A printed circuit board (PCB) is also mounted on the head worn device. The PCB has a microprocessor and a battery in electrical communication. The LEDs are in also in electrical communication with the microprocessor. The microprocessor is programmed to control the flashing of the LEDs so that they flash at a regulated frequency. The flashing LED light enters the eyes of the user and travels to the visual cortex for Alzheimer's treatment. In a preferred embodiment the LEDs flash at a gamma frequency.

  • Patent number: 10004392
    Abstract: A protective guide for protecting a cell extraction device during a Pap smear. A camera protective cover encloses a camera and a light emitting device. A thin, flexible transparent sheath encloses the camera cover. A cell extraction device cover encloses the cell extraction device. The location of the cervix is determined by utilizing the camera. The cell extraction device is pushed outward from the cell extraction device cover so that said cell extraction device head contacts the cervix and removes cells from the cervix. The cell extraction device is pulled back into the cell extraction device cover after the cells have been removed from the cervix. In a preferred embodiment the camera and light emitting device is an endoscope and the camera cover is an endoscope cover.

  • Patent number: 9839413
    Abstract: A protective guide for protecting a cell extraction device used during a Pap smear. An access tunnel receives the cell extraction device and allows for access and movement of the cell extraction device. A protective chamber covers and protects the head of the cell extraction device as the cell extraction device is being removed and inserted from the patient's vagina. A protective guide connector attaches the protective guide to an imaging transducer. After inserted into the patient's vagina, the location of the patient's cervix is determined by utilization of the imaging transducer. Once the cervix is located the cell extraction device is pushed outward from the protective chamber so that the cell extraction device head contacts the cervix and then removes cells from the cervix. The cell extraction device head is then pulled back into the protective chamber and the protective guide is removed from the patient's vagina.
