Abstract
A pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatment apparatus having electrically-conductive loops arranged within an enclosure to form an array, each of the electrically-conductive loops having a generally circular circumference with one or more indentations aligned with a corresponding indentation of an adjacent electrically-conductive loop, where PEMF signals are generated through the array of electrically-conductive loops based on proximity detection conducted by a corresponding wireless device.
Claims21
An apparatus for providing pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatment, comprising:
- an enclosure;
- a plurality of electrically-conductive loops arranged within the enclosure to form an array, each of the plurality of electrically-conductive loops having a generally circular circumference with one or more indentations aligned with a corresponding indentation of an adjacent one of the plurality of electrically-conductive loops;
- and
- a controlling device coupled to the plurality of electrically-conductive loops, the controlling device configured to control a generation of one or more PEMF signals at the plurality of electrically-conductive loops.
An apparatus for treating a subject by applying one or more pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) signals, comprising:
- one or more generator circuits each configured to generate a radio frequency (RF) signal;
- an array of plural loop antennas each coupled to one of the one or more generator circuits, each of the plurality loop antennas comprising a conductor coil having a generally circular shape with one or more rounded indentations in said generally circular shape;
- and
- an enclosure configured to house at least the array of plural loop antennas, said enclosure comprising a treatment surface configured to be disposed proximate the subject, wherein each of the plurality of rounded indentations of each loop antenna is aligned with one of the plurality of rounded indentations of an adjacent loop antenna in the array.
A method for treating a subject by applying one or more pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) signals, comprising:
- providing an array of a plurality of loop antennas coupled to a corresponding one or more generator circuits in an enclosure configured to house at least the array of plural loop antennas, said enclosure comprising a treatment surface configured to be placed proximate the subject;
- activating one or more of the generator circuits to generate one or more preliminary treatment signals to corresponding one or more of the loop antennas;
- detecting a presence of the subject;
- upon a condition of detecting the subject being proximate the treatment surface, activating the one or more of the generator circuits to generate another one or more treatment signals associated with the subject to the corresponding one or more loop antennas,
- wherein each loop antenna comprises a conductor coil have a generally circular shape with a plurality of rounded indentations in said generally circular shape.
A system for providing pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatment, comprising:
- one or more wireless devices;
- and
- a PEMF treatment apparatus, the PEMF treatment apparatus comprising:
- an enclosure;
- a plurality of electrically-conductive loops arranged within the enclosure to form an array, each of the plurality of electrically-conductive loops having a generally circular circumference with one or more indentations aligned with a corresponding indentation of an adjacent one of the plurality of electrically-conductive loops;
- and
- a controlling device coupled to the plurality of electrically-conductive loops, the controlling device configured to control a generation of one or more PEMF signals at the plurality of electrically-conductive loops,
- wherein the one or more wireless devices are adapted to detect the one or more PEMF signals, and
- upon the condition of at least one of the one or more wireless devices detecting the one or more PEMF signals, the controlling device controls the generation of another one or more PEMF signals that are associated with the at least one wireless device at the plurality of electrically-conductive loops.
