Description
NEUROGENETIC MICROPROGRAMMER, . AN EDUCATIONAL DEVICE AND METHOD
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention specifies a method of sonically stimulating infants before and after birth--as well as adults- -with a device for conveying sounds to said individuals, thus initiating respective prenatal and postnatal benefits. Additionally, this invention includes circuits regulating sonic patterns for said individuals, such as tonal configurations, or other possible sound sequences, along with the circuitry permitting alterations in these sonic permutations.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Neurogenesis describes the origin of neural circuits in early animal life, the first two years for humans. A special kind of information processing called imprinting--our earliest education--takes place during the prenatal and neonatal periods; effective stimuli for such initial learning are by definition extremely simple and repetitive. Recent clinical evidence supports significant advantages to prebirth and postbirth infants and their later development--cognitively as well as behaviorally--if they are sonically stimulated beyond those sounds occurring naturally; such benefits extend to family bonding and adult life. However, no one has heretofore introduced a method or means for providing in a miniaturized, self-contained unit such stimuli.
This particular innovation constitutes a method and device for conveying patterned sound to the unborn infant from an independent unit utilizing electronic microcircuitry and situated in proximity to the mother or located near the postnatal child. This invention can also be used as a method and device for conveying patterned sound to adults. Such a device is wholly self contained and, because all sonic
material is programmed within, it allows substantially greater operational simplicity, portability, user comfort, convenience, and lower cost than alternative arrangements which could be manufactured for similar purpose.
These and related means, aspects, and advantages of the invention can be more completely know •from the following text and illustrations.

Fig. 2 is a side view showing the programmed device as a sonic source.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT One illustration of the physical housing containing the preferred embodiment can be seen in Figs. 1 and 2 which show several views of a single device and its operation as a sonic source.
According to the depicted embodiment, the apparatus has a case 12, a plurality of switch buttons 14, a recessed LCD 16, a bottom surface 18, a rubber ring 20, and a transducer diagram 22. When used as a sonic source (Fig. 2) the apparatus outputs sound waves 24 with at least a first direction of propagation 26.
Circuit module 112, in Fig. 3, contains the components to operate the preprogrammed microcircuits whose output appears at line 124. The patterns at 124 are pictured in Figs. 11 and 12 or some similar configuration. At 124 the tones are in fact logic pulses with frequencies between 1 and 10,000 hertz, of less than 1 second in duration, typically below 100 milliseconds, an interval of time referred to as a "window," and the segment of tone in that time window referred to as a tonal "burst."
These aforementioned bursts drive the input to a transducer or speaker driver circuit, 126, with a digital waveform. The output 228 of 126, as depicted in Fig. 4, at
SUBSTITUTESHEET
3 line 128, is essentially sinusoidal because of the reactive loading at 128 by the speaker or transducer 130. The sound vibrations emanating from 130 are thus natural to the human ear, whether prenatally or after birth.
The gain of 126, the transducer driver, is controlled by line 122 from the level control circuit, 120, which is in turn programmed by line 118 containing a multiterm digital word from 112, the programmed microcircuit. The gain of 126 determines the level of the sinusoidal tone burst at 130, the transducer. This level is determined by the infant's mother who operates particular switches, 110, but can also be controlled by the software preprogrammed into the internal proms in the microcircuit, 112.
The aforementioned switches, 110, can also be used to select the particular sonic patterns preprogrammed into the programmed microcircuit, 112.
Emphasis should be placed upon the optimal flexibility of this preferred embodiment or device because of its programmability. This embodiment includes the ability to change or modify the preprogramming by selected uses of the manual programming switches, 110.
The liquid crystal display, 116, the DC power supply, 132, and the low voltage AC module, 140, are supportive circuits of the aforementioned embodiment. The LCD, 116, displays present status of the gain, selected patterned sound, and any other function that has been programmed into the programmed microcircuit, 112. The DC power supply provides power to 112, 120, and 126 directly— programmed microcircuit, level control, and transducer driver circuit. The LCD, 116, is powered by the logic pulses from 112 on line 114. The low voltage AC module conveys AC power to the DC power supply, 132, which can be used to power 132 directly or employed to charge an internal battery in the DC power supply, 132.
The programmed microcircuit 112, LCD 116, and level control, 120, use very low power in a sleep mode of the programmed microcircuit 112, and would be operating in the microamp region of current, in turn minimizing drain by the
only power component of this preferred embodiment, the transducer driver 126, therefore conserving battery power.
The preferred embodiment might include an auxiliary sound source, 148, driving the transducer driver, 126, on line 146. This auxiliary sound source, 148, allows other drives from a wireless microphone or some other external source of sonic material to drive the transducer drive, 126, which in turn drives the transducer, 130, on line 128. Included could be an auxiliary audio output circuit, 144, driven by line 142 from the transducer drive, 126. The auxiliary audio output circuit, 144, could drive an external speaker for postnatal use.
Should any sonic material be subsequently found to support significant prenatal or postnatal advantages, the aforementioned embodiment can be programmed for patterns of relevant tones or tone bursts.
Other embodiments could feature an internally programmed sequence of sonic material, either continuously playing or externally controlled by switch buttons, thus eliminating need for an external sonic material selection switch; internal circuitry programmable from external housing controls; or an opening in the housing for insertion of alternative circuitry on a miniature disk or similar format containing sonic material. Fig. 5 depicts 12 possible patterns (1-12) . Various shapes for the housing such as a rectangle, oval, heart design, or the like, are also possible, as are diverse comfortable housing materials of attractive texture and color.
By providing sonic material for her unborn child by means of this invention, a mother can perform all normal functions, including bathing or swimming if a housing and speaker face impervious to liquid (such as a hydrophone) are utilized, as well as like purpose for herself.
The miniaturized configuration of this invention eliminates need for separate components such as a remote transmitter or other sonic source, thus affording greater operational simplicity, portability, user comfort, convenience, and lower cost than possible alternative arrangements. The only exception to this description is
5 postnatal use, where an external speaker for ex tero application is desired.
The present invention includes a method for producing and conveying sonic material or other patterned sound to the unborn child and his/her mother constituting a programmed, independent, and self contained sonic source means in proximity to a mother for stimulating her unborn child; and conveying said sonic material or patterned sound to the unborn child and his/her mother from an independent integrated circuit sonic source means. The present invention further includes a method which applies to adults. The present invention further includes a method which includes providing integrated circuitry producing appropriate sonic stimuli and providing means for creating this sonic stimuli through microprogrammed integrated circuits. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry producing appropriate educational material. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry producing appropriate musical material. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry producing appropriate spoken material. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry producing other appropriate sonic patterns. The present invention further includes a device for prenatally and postnatally stimulating a child and his/her mother, as well as adults, constituting a miniaturized independent programmed integrated circuit sonic source whereby sound stimuli can be produced. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry programmable by any applicable new software. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry whose timing precision is crystal controlled. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry whose output level is automatically limited to incremental rather than substantial changes for user safety and comfort. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry
whose power drain is minimized and automatically controlled for optimal battery life. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry whose volume output can be selected manually by- the user in an exclusively graduated mode. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry whose status--such as volume level, program number, or future operational parameters--can be read on a liquid crystal display (LCD) device. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry reprogrammable by selecting programs already stored or embedded in the device yet inoperative until future need is justified. The present invention further includes apparatus which is composed of integrated circuitry that can have its inoperative or embedded programs activated through switch combinations exclusively controlled by the manufacturer or accessible to the user when a key code is supplied.
