Appeal No. 1998-0659
Application No. 08/264,527
embodiment (figure 1) a generator (page 3, lines 1-5; figure
1, item numbered 10) develops noise signals which provide
sensory stimuli in the auditory range. These signals are
transposed into the ultrasonic frequency range by a modulator
(page 3, lines 12-16; figure 1, item numbered 12). The
ultrasonic noise signals are amplified (page 3, lines 21-23;
figure 1, item numbered 14) and applied through an applicator
(page 3, lines 26-37; figure 1, item numbered 16) to the
patient's body. Disclosed (page 3, lines 26-37) exemplary
applicators include electric\vibratory transducers, speakers
and electrodes.
In an alternative embodiment (figure 2), the above system
is used in conjunction with a second system. The second
system comprises a microphone (page 4, lines 8-12; figure 2,
item numbered 22) which is used to pick up auditory stimuli,
such as human speech, from the environment, and convert it
into electrical input signals. The signals are transposed
into the ultrasonic frequency range (figure 2, item numbered
12), amplified (figure 2, item numbered 14a), and applied to
the patient's body through an applicator (figure 2, item
numbered 16a).
