Patent number: 7507198Abstract: A device for applying a time-varying magnetic field to a human or animal body for therapeutic purposes comprising a magnetic body (72), housed in a free moving member (80), which is it-self housed within the device. The device is powered by a small electric motor that drives the free moving member (80) and magnetic body (72) to rotate about an axis of first rotation. The magnetic body is further caused to rotate around an axis of second rotation through angular forces imparted on it either mechanically or magnetically. Mechanical angular force is imparted by a gear and tooth arrangement or other similar tactile interaction with a roller member (106). Magnetic angular force is imparted by stationary magnets (110) as the magnetic body (72) rotates past them. The two rotational movements of the magnetic body (72) are oblique to one another and produce both a time-varying field of magnetic flux density and a time varying field of angular flux displacement.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2002Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Inventors: Vincent Ardizzone, Thomas Bove

Patent number: 7081083Abstract: A mattress pad that delivers magnetic and cymatic therapy to a resting or sleeping human body. The device consists of a mattress pad composed of various comfort supporting materials incorporating interspersed throughout the pad small transducers to deliver cymatic vibrations and permanent magnets fixed at the center of each transducer to deliver magnetic field therapy. Both the cymatic vibrations and the magnetic field therapy are delivered to the limbs and organs of the body concurrently. The magnetic field also serves as a conduit for the cymatic vibrations providing a magnetic inductive coupling within the cells of the body which assists in restoring the cells to their healthy-state natural resonant frequency.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2004Date of Patent: July 25, 2006Assignee: Cymatics International, Inc.Inventor: Vincent Ardizzone

Patent number: 6971984Abstract: A face mask that delivers magneto-cymatic therapy to a person's face to treat wrinkles and to tone facial muscles. The device consists of a mask worn over the face. Housed within the mask is an array of small transducers delivering cymatic vibrations. At the center of each transducer is a strong permanent magnet which delivers the magnetic therapy. Both the cymatic vibrations and the magnetic field are delivered concurrently. In addition, the magnetic field serves as a conduit for the cymatic vibrations providing a magnetic inductive coupling with the cells in the facial tissue to assist in restoring the cells to their proper resonant frequency.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2004Date of Patent: December 6, 2005Inventor: Vincent Ardizzone

Publication number: 20050228207Abstract: A magneto-cymatic therapeutic device providing simultaneously magnetic therapy with cymatic therapy to an anatomical area to be treated, delivering the cymatic frequency via mechanical and/or magnetic interaction. A transducer coupled to a magnet converts audio frequency electrical signals into mechanical vibrations, within an applicator-wand of a portable magneto-cymatic therapeutic device. To treat an anatomical area the applicator-wand may be rotated, or moved through a particular pattern. The application surface of the applicator-wand may be contoured to allow maximum contact with the anatomical body part to be treated. The magnetic field extending out from the application surface also interacts with tissue in the body and also delivers cymatic vibrations without physical contact between the device and the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2003Publication date: October 13, 2005Inventor: Vincent Ardizzone

Publication number: 20050209501Abstract: Flexible and elastic magnetic joint wraps incorporate superstrong magnets with alternating polarities to provide enhanced magnetotherapeutic effects. Magnetotherapeutic joint wraps that are flexible and elastic incorporate superstrong magnets in an attachably detachable manner so as to provide magnetotherapy to joints and surrounding tissues. neoprene or the like may incorporate superstrong magnets such as those based on iron (magnetic ferrite) or neodymium (particularly neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB)) in order to provide superstrong static magnetism by which magnetotherapy may be effected. Elements that are generally oppositely opposed serve to detachably attach portions of the magnetic wrap to one another so that the magnetic joint wrap may conform to the local shape and form of the area adjacent the joint. Such attachment elements may include VELCRO® hook and loop fasteners as well as buttons, snaps, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2005Publication date: September 22, 2005Inventors: Anthony Bove, Vincent Ardizzone

Patent number: 6939287Abstract: A magnetotherapeutic device incorporates bio-ceramic fibers so as to provide simultaneous magnetotherapy and far infra-red wave therapy. Generally encased in clear plastic or the like, the magnetotherapeutic device of the present invention may take the form of a transparent disk having a plastic rim. A stainless cap may provide an attractive top surface into which a logo or symbol may be embossed. It also enhances the magnetic affects on the side opposite the stainless steel cap, the side that is applied to the body. A strong magnet such as one incorporating neodymium may underlie the stainless steel cap to provide magnetotherapy in the present invention. Bio-ceramic fibers emitting the far infra-red wavelengths of 8–14 microns underlie the strong neodymium magnet. A mat of woven bio-ceramic fibers or the like may provide such a structure.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2003Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Nu-Magnetics, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Ardizzone, Anthony Bove

Publication number: 20050187423Abstract: A magnetic therapeutic device comprises a ring-shaped housing adapted to revolve about a first axis of rotation. The therapeutic device also comprises a spherical magnetic member adapted to revolve about a second axis of rotation within the ring-shaped housing while the housing revolves about the first axis of rotation. The spherical magnetic member simultaneously revolves about the first and second axes to provide therapeutic massage-like effects to a treatment area.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2005Publication date: August 25, 2005Inventors: Vincent Ardizzone, Thomas Bove

Patent number: 6846379Abstract: A magnetic insole provides cushioned magnetotherapy for the soles of a wearer's feet. A laminated insole in the general shape of a foot is inserted into a shoe to provide magnetotherapy to the wearer's foot adjacent the sole. Collateral therapeutic effects may be effected as such magnetotherapy may affect the nerve endings in the foot and collateral, corresponding, or related tissue structures in the body. A flexible magnetic core provides alternating magnetic fields in a regular pattern thereby to provide magnetotherapy to the foot. A cushioning base acts as an underpad for the magnetic insole in order to provide greater comfort and cushioning for the user's foot. The flexible magnetic core is constructed by mixing strontium ferrite, barium ferrite, or other strongly ferromagnetic material and with an elastic binder such as neoprene.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2001Date of Patent: January 25, 2005Assignee: Nu-magnetics, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Bove, Vincent Ardizzone
