Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current devices for stimulating microcirculation during sleep and relaxation phases are inadequate in achieving significant regeneration and restitution effects, as they fail to effectively redistribute heart-minute volume and impact lymphatic flow and the immune system.
Innovation Solution
A device comprising a pulse generator, control device, and field generating device that produces a pulsating electromagnetic field with specific pulse trains, frequencies, and amplitudes, influencing microcirculation and autoregulatory mechanisms, characterized by sequences of 0 µT, 3-12 µT basic signal, and 30-150 µT additional signal, with frequencies between 8-15 Hz, and exponential or arc-shaped amplitude curves.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional electromagnetic fields are used during sleep phase, then some microcirculation stimulation occurs, but significant regeneration and restitution effects are not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic action by using pulse trains with specific frequencies (8-15 Hz) and duty cycles during the sleep phase. The electromagnetic field is delivered in repeated cycles with active treatment periods followed by rest periods, optimizing microcirculation stimulation while accounting for the natural circadian rhythm and reduced cardiac output during sleep. This periodic delivery pattern enables significant regeneration effects that continuous or conventional pulsed fields cannot achieve.
2Speed
If electromagnetic field intensity is increased to improve microcirculation, then blood flow stimulation increases, but lymphatic flow and immune system impact are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying multiple electromagnetic field parameters simultaneously: frequency (8-15 Hz), amplitude (microtesla to millitesla ranges), pulse width, and duty cycle. These coordinated parameter adjustments create optimal conditions for enhancing not only blood flow velocity but also lymphatic flow and immune system activation, achieving comprehensive physiological effects that single-parameter adjustments cannot produce.
3Use of energy by moving object
If pulse frequency is increased to enhance microcirculation, then oxygen utilization improves, but autoregulatory mechanisms are not adequately stimulated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by using variable frequency modulation within the 8-15 Hz range and adjusting pulse characteristics dynamically during the treatment cycle. The electromagnetic field parameters are not static but are modulated to match the natural autoregulatory rhythms of microcirculation, enabling both enhanced oxygen utilization and effective stimulation of autoregulatory mechanisms through adaptive parameter variation.

AI summary
The invention relates to an apparatus for stimulating local and higher homeostatic autoregulatory mechanisms during the sleep phase and the rest or relaxation phase of the organism by means of a pulsed electromagnetic field. Said apparatus comprises a pulse generator, a control device, and a field generating device. The pulse generator is designed in such a way as to generate a pulsed electromagnetic field along with the control device and the field generating device by applying 5 special series of pulses in which the frequency is the same for all signals, ranging from 8 to 15 Hz, the series of pulses are repeated multiple times, and the control time amounts to at least 3.5 h within a period of 7 to 9 hours.
