Abstract:
1. An electronically controlled wide band vibrating tampon (ECWVT) with low disposable cost, the ECWVT comprising: an electronically controlled in vitro vibration generating means, having a proximal end and a distal end, for generating a variable wide band mechanical vibration at the distal end; and a disposable in vivo vibration transmitting tampon head (VTTH) detachably coupled to the distal end, for transmitting the variable wide band mechanical vibration into a corresponding tampon vibration upon the wall of a user's vaginal canal whereby easing a user's menstrual cramps with low disposable cost; wherein the vibration generating means further comprising: a proximal end remote electronic controller (REC) for generating a variable wide band power electrical signal; a distal end electromechanical transducer (EMT) electrically coupled to the REC for, upon being powered by the power electrical signal, generating a corresponding mechanical vibration; and a handled housing (HDH) for enclosing and affixing the REC and the EMT therein; and wherein the EMT comprising, expressed in an X-Y-Z Cartesian coordinate system with the Z-axis generally parallel to the vaginal canal and pointing toward the uterus: whereby, upon powering the sleeve coils with a drive current corresponding to the power electrical signal, the LVS generates a corresponding mechanical vibration at the VSC.
