  • Patent number: 7787955
    Abstract: The muscle training apparatus includes: conductors to be mounted on a body of a user; an operation section for receiving an instruction from the user; a memory section for storing a current-and-frequency-correlation data which indicates a relationship between a magnitude of an electrical stimulation signal and a supply frequency of the electrical stimulation signal; a control section for determining the supply frequency based on the magnitude of the electrical stimulation signal input from the operation section, and the current-and-frequency-correlation data; and an electrical stimulation output section for generating the electrical stimulation signal based on the magnitude of the electrical stimulation signal and the supply frequency of the electrical stimulation signal which are instructed by the control section, and generating an interference wave by providing the electrical stimulation signal to the body of the user via the conductors.

  • Patent number: 7471984
    Abstract: A low-frequency treatment device includes electrodes to which a low-frequency pulse signal is supplied so as to apply an electric stimulus to a living body; a section for presetting a number of times of muscle contraction which occurs by applying the electric stimulus; a section for setting a pulse signal conducting time period and a pulse signal pausing time period in an interval; a section for computing a treatment time period based on the number of times of muscle contraction and on the conducting and the pausing time periods; a timer which starts counting a time period when supply of the pulse signal is started, and transmits a stop signal for stopping the supply of the pulse signal when the counted time period reaches the computed treatment time period; and a device for shutting off a circuit for supplying the pulse signal based on the stop signal.

  • Patent number: 7163399
    Abstract: An ultrasonic therapy device comprises two bodies and two holding members. The body, at the inner face of which an oscillator is embedded, covers an affected area into which implant fixtures are embedded. The holding member which holds the body has a shape of a crown which covers teeth next to the affected area. Two teeth were removed from the affected area into which two implant fixtures are embedded. Each of the bodies covers the affected area between the teeth which is covered by the holding members so that the bodies are exactly fixed in an oral cavity. In this state, it is possible to accelerate osteogenesis around the implant fixtures by supplying an ultrasonic signal from an external driver to the oscillator.

  • Patent number: 4949721
    Abstract: In a transcutaneous electric nerve stimulater in which a frequency of an output pulse varies with a lapse of time, a pulse width of the output pulse is increased when the frequency becomes to be smaller and is reduced when the frequency becomes to be greater. Furthermore, a pulse amplitude of the output pulse is increased when the frequency becomes to be smaller and is minimized when the frequency becomes to be greater.
