  • Publication number: 20130208391
    Abstract: The spiral pulse transducer generates or transduces pulses by directing an electrical pulse around an electrically conducting ring. An effective way to do this is to direct it inwardly along a spiral, which can generally intensify the pulse and make it more unidirectional. While a principal embodiment is intended to help reduce blood pressure, this transducer might be used for medical, commercial, agricultural, or industrial processes.
