| 20100204747 | INTRA-ORAL ELECTRONIC THERAPY DEVICES FOR TREATMENT OF SLEEP-BREATHING DISORDERS, BRUXING DISORDERS, AND TMJ DISORDERS, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - The intra-oral electronic therapy device includes a substrate to be positioned in a patient's mouth, a rechargeable battery carried by the substrate, and at least one tissue contact electrode, e.g. a hamular notch contact electrode, extending outwardly from the substrate to contact at least one tissue area in the patient's mouth. A controller is carried by the substrate and cooperates with the rechargeable battery and the at least one tissue contact electrode to provide an electrical stimulation to the at least one tissue area in the patient's mouth. The substrate includes first and second thermoplastic layers sealing therebetween the rechargeable battery and controller. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100204614 | ELECTRONIC SNORE RECORDING DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - The snore recording device includes a portable housing, a microphone carried by the housing for capturing an audio input signal including snoring, a memory, such as a removable memory, carried by the housing, and processing circuitry carried by the housing and coupled to the microphone and the memory. The processing circuitry is for low pass filtering the audio input signal from the microphone to generate a low pass filtered analog signal, performing analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) on the low pass filtered analog signal to generate an intermediate digital signal, performing a moving average filtering of the intermediate digital signal to generate moving average intensity data, performing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on the intermediate digital signal to generate frequency component data, and storing at least the moving average intensity data and frequency component data in the memory. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100200158 | METHODS FOR MAKING INTRA-ORAL ELECTRONIC THERAPY DEVICES FOR TREATING SLEEP-BREATHING DISORDERS, BRUXING DISORDERS, AND TMJ DISORDERS - The method for making an intra-oral electronic therapy device includes thermoforming a first thermoplastic layer on a patient's dental cast, e.g. as received from a patient's dentist, positioning components on the first thermoplastic layer, and thermoforming a second thermoplastic layer on the first thermoplastic layer to define a substrate with the components therein. The components include a rechargeable battery, at least one tissue contact electrode extending outwardly from the substrate to contact at least one tissue area in the patient's mouth, and a controller to cooperate with the rechargeable battery and the at least one tissue contact electrode to provide an electrical stimulation to the at least one tissue area in the patient's mouth. The method includes separating the substrate with the components therein from the dental cast. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100185254 | ELECTRONIC CONTINUOUS OR PERIODIC AIRWAY THERAPY (ECAT) FOR SLEEP -BREATHING DISORDERS - The intra-oral electronic therapy device includes a substrate to be positioned in a patient's mouth, a rechargeable battery carried by the substrate, and at least one hamular notch tissue contact electrode extending outwardly from the substrate to contact at least one hamular notch in the patient's mouth. A controller is carried by the substrate and cooperates with the rechargeable battery and the hamular notch tissue contact electrode to provide a predetermined electrical stimulation pattern to a hamular notch in the patient's mouth. A programming interface is carried by the substrate and coupled to the controller to permit programming of the predetermined stimulation pattern therein. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20090082839 | Electronic anti-snoring and sleep apnea device for sleep-breathing disorders, electronic anti-bruxing device, and electronic device for TMD therapy - Devices and methods for preventing or mitigating the occurrence of sleep breathing disorders use an extra-oral unit for detecting sounds from a sleeping patient and for sending commands to an intra-oral device for applying an electrical stimulation to one or more locations in the oral cavity of the patient. Similarly, bruxing and temporomandibular disorder can be mitigated or prevented by applying electrical stimulation to the oral cavity of a patient in response to the detection of pressure caused by bruxing activity or oral para-functional activity. The intra-oral unit includes a controller for controlling the generation of the electrical stimulation to be applied to the oral cavity of the patient, and first and second protective layers sealing the controller therebetween. | 03-26-2009 |
