Title: Intravaginal electrical stimulation device for treating female pelvic pain
Inventor: YOUNG ERIK
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2021-10-19
Granted: 2023-07-20
Abstract: An intravaginal electrical stimulation device for treating pelvic pain in a female patient comprises a set of intravaginal components and an external controller. The intravaginal components include a frame, at least one pair of paracervical electrodes embedded in the proximal portion of the frame, an intravaginal capsule, an electrode plug that plugs into a socket in the proximal end of the capsule, and connecting wires that electrically couple the electrode plug to the paracervical electrodes. The intravaginal components are designed to inserted into the patient's vagina so that the paracervical electrodes are in direct contact with the vaginal epithelium in the lateral vaginal fornices. Electronics, including a microprocessor and an electrical stimulation generator, are configured to generate and transmit low-voltage electrical current to the paracervical electrodes to create an electrical field that neuromodulates the pelvic and paracervical nerves, the nerves that innervate the uterus, and other anatomical structures of the lower pelvis, which tends to reduce or eliminate pelvic pain. The set intravaginal components are configured so that a woman can easily insert them into her vagina (with or without a medical practitioner being present). The external controller, which communicates with the intravaginal components over a wireless data communication channel, sends instructions to and receives status updates from the microprocessor inside the intravaginal capsule. The external controller may be operated by the female patient to control the electrical profile (e.g., frequency, amplitude and duration) of the electrical stimulation delivered to her body, and thereby cause the intravaginal components to deliver well-controlled, personalized, electrical stimulation to her pelvic and paracervical nerves when she is experiencing pain, or when she anticipates the onset of pelvic pain due to, for example, menstruation or sexual intercourse.

Abstract: A current mode pulse width modulation (PWM) technique for brushless motors. The present system and method controls a brushless motor by increasing or decreasing motor speed respectively according to the polarity and value of a pulse width modulation (PWM) control signal. The PWM signal varies according to an error signal generated in proportion to the difference between a desired motor current and an actual motor current. A motor current sensor is used to sense an actual motor current being applied to the motor. A current comparator is used to compare the current desired reference signal and the actual current signal and to generate an error signal. A pulse width modulator is used to convert the error signal to a pulse-width modulated error signal. Armature position sensors are used for sensing armature positions of the motor. A commutator circuit receives the pulse-width modulated error signal and the armature positions of the motor. Power switches are coupled to outputs of the commutator and also coupled to the motor. The commutator controls activation and deactivation of the respective power switches based on the corresponding pulse-width modulated error signal to control the motor at a desired motor current that corresponds to the desired reference current signal. The commutator controls the respective power switches to drive the motor in either a more positive, a more negative direction, or in the same manner to respectively increase, decrease, or maintain the motor speed when the error signal correspondingly has a generally positive, negative, or zero value. <IMAGE>
