  • Publication number: 20150105703
    Abstract: A system includes a therapeutic module including a module housing. An electric motor including a shaft is contained within the module housing. At least one magnet is coupled to the shaft in an offset manner. The magnet is rotatably driven about a centerline of the shaft by the motor to generate a dynamic magnetic field which penetrates living tissue and generate micro-vibrations including oscillating inertial loads resulting from rotation of the magnet about the centerline. A light source directs emitted light into the magnetic field generated by the magnet. A circuit board of the therapeutic module facilitates signal communication with a remote controller operatively coupled to the therapeutic module. The remote controller includes a processor configured to control one or more parameters of the therapeutic module based, in one embodiment, at least partially on one or more signals transmitted by the therapeutic module.

  • Patent number: 8911385
    Abstract: A therapeutic device for relieving pain and providing a curative healing effect includes a motor for rotating at least one magnet to generate a magnetic field, micro-vibrations and audible acoustic tones. A shaft couples the at least one magnet to the motor. In one embodiment, the at least one magnet is coupled to the shaft in an offset configuration with respect to a centerline of the shaft thereby generating micro-vibrations in the form of oscillating inertial loads. The therapeutic device includes a light source for generating a photonic light field in an optical light spectrum.

  • Patent number: 7420146
    Abstract: A device and method for monitoring a light beam (e.g., laser beam) without intruding upon the light beam is disclosed. The device comprises a focusing lens which receives scattered light from a reflective or transmitting optical element and directs the scattered light to a photo detector. The photo detector generates one or more electrical signals which are proportional to an intensity distribution of the light beam for analysis by a processor. The analyzed electrical signals are then used to adjust a light beam source accordingly. The device may further comprise a display and printer for visually depicting the light beam characteristics.

  • Patent number: 7335170
    Abstract: A therapeutic micro-vibration massaging device that also generates both a dynamic induction magnetic force field and an electromagnetic photonic optical light beam field, accompanied by audible acoustic sound, that penetrates the human body, induces an increase in cellular energy and thereby promotes a curative healing effect that reduces or eliminates pain.

  • Patent number: 4195913
    Abstract: The invention relates to optical integrators and to methods of optically integrating electromagnetic radiation to produce electromagnetic radiation of uniform energy intensity distribution. The method of optically integrating electromagnetic radiation comprises the steps of dissecting electromagnetic radiation into a plurality of segments of electromagnetic radiation, reflecting the resulting segments of electromagnetic radiation resulting in reflected segments of electromagnetic radiation and directing the reflected segments of electromagnetic radiation so that a reflected segment of electromagnetic radiation intersects another reflected segment of electromagnetic radiation at a target.
