Patent ID: 8588930

Claim:
A stimulation device comprising: an external non-implantable transmitting device powered by a power source and generating an electrical waveform signal; wherein the external non-implantable transmitting device produces high frequency burst packets and comprises: a first waveform generator for generating a first waveform having a frequency adapted to stimulate a predetermined body part, wherein the generated first waveform is itself incapable of transdermally stimulating the predetermined body part; a second waveform generator for generating a carrier waveform having a frequency greater than that of the first waveform and adapted to puss through skin and tissue to the predetermined body part, the frequency of the generated carrier waveform is capable of reaching the predetermined body part but is itself incapable of electrically stimulating the predetermined body part; an amplitude modulation device electrically coupled to the first and second waveform generators and configured to multiply the carrier waveform and the first waveform and producing a modulated waveform adapted to transdermally electrically stimulate the predetermined body part, the modulated waveform maintains the amplitude and frequency information of the first waveform and carrier waveform; a surface electrode electrically coupled to the modulation device applying the modulated waveform transcutaneously; a surface electrode applying the generated electrical waveform signal transcutaneously; and an implantable piezoelectric element receiving the applied electrical waveform signal generated transcutaneously and causing mechanical deformation resulting in mechanical vibration of the implantable piezoelectric element sufficient to stimulate the predetermined body part.
