Abstract
A headband with headpiece and cap variations that includes a plurality of coreless DC motors arranged about the circumference of the headband, and a microcontroller programmed to randomly actuate each coreless DC motor wherein vibrations are delivered by the coreless DC motors to a user's head.
Claims22
A headband, comprising:
- a headpiece;
- a plurality of coreless DC motors arranged about a circumference of the headpiece, each coreless DC motor configured to be located at a unique position proximal to a user's head;
- and
- a microcontroller configured to randomly actuate the plurality of coreless DC motors and wherein at least one random number is configured to be generated to determine which of the plurality of coreless DC motors will be activated and in which order, where the at least one random number is selected from a sequential set of integers 1 through m, wherein m equals a number of the plurality of coreless DC motors, and
- wherein every integer in the sequential set {1, 2, . . . , m} is configured to be generated exactly once before repeating.

A cap, comprising:
- a crown configured for covering at least a portion of a head, the crown having an opening at a back of the crown;
- a visor attached to a front of the crown;
- a backstrap extending across the crown opening at the back of the crown;
- a plurality of coreless DC motors arranged along and secured to the backstrap, each coreless DC motor configured to be located at a unique position proximal to a user's head;
- and
- a microcontroller configured to randomly actuate the plurality of coreless DC motors, and wherein at least one random number is configured to be generated to determine which of the plurality of coreless DC motors will be activated and in which order, where the at least one random number is selected from a sequential set of integers 1 through m, wherein m equals a number of the plurality of coreless DC motors, and
- wherein every integer in the sequential set {1, 2, . . . , m} is configured to be generated exactly once before repeating.

A method for introducing vibrations to a user's head comprising:
- circumscribing a crown portion of the user's head with a band portion of a headband or a cap, a plurality of coreless DC motors arranged about a circumference of the user's head;
- activating a microcontroller that is programmed to randomly actuate the plurality of coreless DC motors by way of selecting at least one random number determining which of the plurality of coreless DC motors will be activated and in which order, wherein the at least one random number is generated from a sequential set of integers 1 through m, wherein m equals a number of the plurality of coreless DC motors, generating every integer in the sequential set {1, 2, . . . , m} exactly once before repeating;
- and
- delivering vibration to the user's head by way of the plurality of coreless DC motors that are activated, each coreless DC motor vibrating at a unique position proximal to said user's head.
