Embodiment Construction

[0062] In the following description, reference numerals are used to identify structural elements, parts of elements, surfaces or regions in the drawings because these elements, surfaces or regions may be further described or explained throughout the writing of the specification. For consistency, whenever the same reference number is used in different drawings, the reference number indicates the same element, part, surface or region as when first used. Unless otherwise indicated, the accompanying drawings are intended to be read in conjunction with the specification and are considered to constitute a part of this overall specification of the invention. The terms "horizontal," "vertical," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," and their adjectives and adverb derivatives, as used herein, mean relative to the particular drawing as viewed toward the reader. Indicates the orientation of the structure.

[0063] Some embodiments are directed to a device for providing bioelectrical stimul...

Abstract

A system and method for generating an electrical signal for use in biomedical applications may have power efficient features, support battery powered operation and, support a reduced risk of shock hazard. The system may include a controller for generating one or more control signals operable to control pulse generating and waveform processing circuits. The control signals may include at least two states alternating in a chosen pattern as a function of time. During at least one of the control signal states, an oscillator for generating a pulsed signal may be operable. During at least another of the control signal states, the oscillator can be disabled and completely shut off in order to conserve considerable power. The generated pulses may be processed to provide desired intensity and frequency components. The processed signals may be applied to biological material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a pulse signal generator for use in biomedical applications. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a lightweight and compact pulse signal generator that generates complex bioelectric stimulation signal output waveforms. Background technique [0002] Injuries, infections and degenerative conditions are major sources of pain, inconvenience, expense, lost work (and leisure) time and reduced productivity. Problems associated with these conditions worsen with age because injuries heal quickly in young, healthy people but take much longer in older, less healthy people, or both . In aging societies such as those currently seen in most industrialized countries, these social and economic impacts will become even greater over the course of the next few decades. [0003] However, it is difficult to estimate the full cost of these conditions, which, regardless of their impact on quality of life, amount to billions of...
