Abstract:
A system for resuscitation of a heart attack victim. The system includes CPR device which compresses the victim's chest, a defibrillator which may be used to defibrillate the patient, and an identification system for identifying the person operating the system. Depending on the identity of the operator, the system permits varying degrees of access to components and enablement of the functions of the various subsystems

Abstract:
The invention describes a device (100) having a first stimulation unit (11) for generating electrical first stimuli (21) suppressing a pathological synchronous activity of neurons in the brain and/or spinal cord of a patient upon administering the same to the brain and/or spinal cord of the patient, a second stimulation unit (12) for generating optical and/or acoustic and/or tactile and/or vibratory second stimuli (22), and a controller (10) for controlling the first and the second stimulation units (11, 12), wherein the generation of the first and second stimuli (21, 22) optionally occurs in a first or in a second operating mode, and the controller (10) actuates the first and the second stimulation units (11, 12) such that in the first operating mode the generation of at least 60% of the second stimuli (22) is chronologically coupled to the generation of the first stimuli (21), and in the second operating mode the generation of at least 60% of the second stimuli (22) is carried out without generating the first stimuli (21).
Abstract:
This invention is a system for resuscitation of a heart attack victim. The system includes CPR (2) device which compresses the victim's chest, a defibrillator (9R)(9L), which may be used to defibrillate the patient, and an identification system (14) for identifying the person operating the system. Depending on the identity of the operator, the system permits varying degrees of access to components, and enabling of the functions of the various subsystems.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for resolving a person's sleep disorders by applying low frequency vibration to a part of the body, said method comprising the use of mechanical vibrators (1 ) present on a first side of a plate type base member (9) for setting the plate type base member (9) in vibration in such a way that is second surface transmits mechanical vibration, comprising a plurality of low frequency pulse trains (100) which are conducted to a part of the person's body. The successive pulse trains of mechanical vibration to be transmitted in the invention to a specific part of the body comprise both - a plurality of first successive pulse trains (100; 101, 102, 103...) transmitted at successive time periods (T; T1, T2, T3... ) to said part of the body, wherein a frequency (f) of vibration in each individual pulse train (100) is maintained constant (f; fa, fb, fc...) over the course of a duration (T; T1, T2, T3... ) of said pulse train (100), said constant frequency being within the range of 20-50 Hz and the vibration at the same time being such that pressure pulses (400) of said pulse train (100) have a contact power (I) with said part of the body within the range of 40-70 dB, whereby the constant frequencies (fa, fb, fc...) of the successive pulse trains (100; 101, 102, 103...) to be transmitted to the part of the body at the successive time periods (T; T1, T2, T3... ) are mutually different and change monotonously and mostly linearly, and - at least one second pulse train (100) transmitted to said part of the body, wherein pressure pulses (400) contained in the pulse train (100) have a frequency (f) fluctuating within the range of 20-50 Hz, preferably within the range of 20-40 Hz, over the course of 2-10 seconds, preferably over the course of 5-7 seconds, and said frequency changes in accordance with sine, triangle or square wave, preferably in accordance with sine wave.
Abstract:
A vibratory treatment device has a motor driving an output shaft on which is mounted an eccentric weight to create vibration of the motor as the shaft rotates. A frame is connected to the motor to which frame said vibrations are transmitted through the connection of the frame to the motor. A pad surrounds the frame and into which said vibrations of the frame are transmitted. The pad is applied to the affected limb or limbs of the patient and activated to cause vibrations of the motor to be transmitted through the frame and pad into the tissue of the patent's limb or limbs. The treatment is continued for a therapeutically effective period of time and repeated periodically.
