  • Patent number: 11944490
    Abstract: Techniques for accurate positioning of an energy application device for neuromodulation treatment protocols are provided. A neuromodulation positioning patch is applied to a patient's skin. The energy application device is coupled to a frame of the neuromodulation positioning patch to position a transducer of the energy application device within an opening at a treatment position within the opening. The frame is also coupled to a removable dock for an imaging probe. When the frame is coupled to the removable dock the frame of the neuromodulation positioning patch, acquires image data through the opening to identify or verify the treatment position.

  • Publication number: 20240090869
    Abstract: The present discussion relates to structures and devices to facilitate application of an ultrasound therapy beam to a target anatomic region in a replicable manner. In certain aspects, adjustable positioning structures are described that allow a general probe positioning structure to be configured for a specific patient in a manner that allows the device to be used repeatedly to target the anatomic region, even when in non-clinical settings. In other aspects, a probe positioning structure is fabricated that is specific to a respective patient anatomy, such that use of the probe positioning structure provides repeatable targeting of the target anatomic region, even when in non-clinical settings.

  • Patent number: 9911348
    Abstract: A game delivery system delivers a plurality of games in a training program. The training program is configured to systematically drive neurological changes to overcome cognitive deficits associated with a neurological disorder. In one embodiment, the training program includes an initial batch of games that predominantly exercise elemental, lower-level cognitive processes and sensory deficits. After a game participant progresses through the initial batch of games, the training program provides games that impose comparatively greater higher-order cognitive processing requirements on the participant. A clinician portal provides remote access to a clinician to data about the game participant's compliance and performance with the training program. The clinician portal also enables the administrator to configure the training program.

  • Patent number: 5942165
    Abstract: A method of making irregular shaped playing discs to achieve proper balance for playing involves the use of a grid (7) divided into quadrants (1, 2, 3, 4) having squares of a predetermined size. A template (8) is placed on the grid (7) into which a desired artwork (9) is fitted. The artwork may include face of a recording star, holiday character or other desired item. The artwork (9) must be placed within the template (8) so that an equal number of squares is taken from each quadrant (1, 2, 3, 4) of the grid (7) within the template (8). Once the shape of the artwork is determined, the recording medium, whether it be audio, visual or a combination of both, is applied. The visual appearance of the artwork (9) may then be silk screened or otherwise applied to the disc. Once the above method is accomplished, the disc can be used as a master for making a mold to premold other discs or each disc may be cut around the perimeter of the artwork to result in discs in the shape of the artwork.
