Description

TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to generation and focusing of energy waves e.g., sonic waves and ultrasonic waves, and particularly to equipment for generating such waves for various purposes, including enhancing health.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

[0003] Researches indicate that cells/organs/living organisms respond to internal as well as external surroundings. It has been observed that a slight change in pH levels within a cell can actuate a certain protein synthesis and can halt another for the same function. For example, a carcinogen is needed to trigger a change in behavior of a healthy cell and make the cell start expressing proteins which turn the cells cancerous. If an unhealthy change in environment can alter the state of a cell, then the converse should be true too. A healthy environment should trigger a healthy change.

[0004] Autonomic nervous system (ANS) in human beings is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal to name a few. Humans do not have much control over their heart rate or breathing. However, a soothing melody lowers our heart rate, hearing a loud explosion leads to higher heart palpitations. Such bodily functions are governed by the ANS through cells and organs present throughout body of a human being.

[0005] It has been envisaged that sound and vibrations bypass the conscious mind and have a direct effect on the ANS, thus, releasing regulatory hormones and enzymes and changing internal as well as external environment of various cells and organs. It is also a well-researched fact that every healthy living organism/cell resonates within a defined frequency range. Also, for unhealthy/sick cells the defined frequency range changes that leads to losing of desired vibrancy and vitality of the unhealthy/sick cells. Further, imposing external electromagnetic stimulation like radio waves disturbs vibrancy and vitality of healthy cells, impacts its resonance and eventually causing cell lysis, a medical condition that refers to the breaking down of membrane of a cell, often by viral, enzymic, or osmotic mechanisms that compromise integrity of the cell.

[0006] Ultrasound (ultrasonic) waves which are routinely used for diagnostic applications throughout the world are now being adopted in various fields of drug delivery systems and other therapeutic use. Acoustic interactions of ultrasound with biological tissues play an important role in biomedical applications of ultrasound. Low intensity ultrasonic is known to permeate the skin, modulate the cell membrane and alter its properties possibly activating signal transduction pathways. The energy absorbed by the enzymes from the ultrasonic effects the overall function of the cell.

[0007] Currently available transducer assemblies to stimulate cell metabolism are primarily based around a single resonant ultrasound frequency and do not provide for generation of variable amplitude/intensity nor wide -band multi— resonant frequency response.

[0008] Also, current contact methods of ultrasound/ultrasonic transmission to tissue rely on transmissive gels for maximum power transmission from transducer to tissue. Area of treatment is limited to transducer / applicator head area. Airborne ultrasound transmission is not only non-contact and non-invasive but treatment is more holistic and the area of treatment is not limited to just the transducer area. In fact, treatment is not limited to single patient, multiple persons having same ailment can receive airborne ultrasound from same device.

[0009] There is therefore a need in the art to provide a transducer assembly capable of generating, shaping and scattering energy waves including any or a combination of ultrasonic waves and sonic waves to obtain airborne, non-contact, variable-intensity, multi-frequency, multi-beam and multi-directional energy waves capable of generating ultrasonic vibrations.

[0010] As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of“a,”“an,” and“the” includes plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Also, as used in the description herein, the meaning of“in” includes“in” and“on” unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0011] In some embodiments, the numerical parameters set forth in the written description and attached claims are approximations that can vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by a particular embodiment. In some embodiments, the numerical parameters should be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.

The numerical values presented in some embodiments of the invention may contain certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.

[0012] The recitation of ranges of values herein is merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range. Unless otherwise indicated herein, each individual value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g.“such as”) provided with respect to certain embodiments herein is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed. No language in the specification should be construed as indicating any non-claimed element essential to the practice of the invention.

Each group member can be referred to and claimed individually or in any combination with other members of the group or other elements found herein. One or more members of a group can be included in, or deleted from, a group for reasons of convenience and/or patentability. When any such inclusion or deletion occurs, the specification is herein deemed to contain the group as modified thus fulfilling the written description of all groups used in the appended claims.

In an embodiment, the transducer assembly 100 can include a cavity resonator 102 to shape the primary wavefront in order to obtain multi frequency sweeping primary standing waves. In an embodiment, the transducer assembly 100 can include a secondary wave shaping and scattering unit that can attenuate and shape the primary standing waves to obtain a secondary wavefront. In an embodiment, the secondary wave shaping and scattering unit can include a wave slicer grill (illustrated as 108) that can scatter the secondary wavefront so as to block at least a portion of the secondary wavefront into multi-direction secondary standing waves and to allow emission of the secondary wavefront that are in the form of the donut shaped/toroidal energy wavefront 202 (as shown in FIG. 2).

In an embodiment, resonant sonic frequency of the piezoelectric crystall04 can range between 20 kHz to 200 kHz. In an embodiment, resonant ultrasonic frequency of the piezoelectric crystall04 can range between 1.5 Hz to 20 kHz.

[0098] In an embodiment, shape of the crystal compound disc 404 assists in generation of a plane ultrasonic wave. However, it would be appreciated that crystal compound disc of a different shape such as a crystal disc having a curve on its radiating surface can be used to generate a slightly concave or bowl shape ultrasonic wave that can focus/converge at a specific point.

Special doping techniques are implemented and various compounds in correct proportions are used in formulation of the proposed piezoelectric crystal404.

[00105] Referring now to FIGs.5A through 5C, where exemplary perspective view, front view and a sectional view of section C-C of the parabolic reflector is shown respectively, the parabolic reflector 106 can include a cavity 502 surrounded by a tapered surface 504. The tapered surface 504 can be bound by a taper angle of 111.49° with a longitudinal surface of the parabolic reflector 106. In an embodiment, the parabolic reflector 106 can shape the primary wavefront generated by the piezo crystal l04arranged at a location in vicinity of focal area of the parabolic reflector 106. In an embodiment, the parabolic reflector 106 can assist in modulation of transmission beam angle of the primary wavefront beams by adjusting focal length of the parabolic reflector 106.

[00106] In an embodiment, the primary wavefront can be in the form of donut shaped/toroidal waves generated by the piezoelectric crystal 104 that is coupled to a focal area of the parabolic reflector 106.

[00107] FIGs.6A through 6C illustrate exemplary perspective view, front view and rear view of thewave slicer grill of the proposed transducer assembly respectively in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In an aspect, the wave slicer grill 108 can include a plurality of slots 602 to segregate the primary wavefront shaped by the parabolic reflector 106 into a plurality of beams as to obtain multi -beam energy wavefront as output of the wave slicer grill 108. In an embodiment, the plurality of slots 602 further direct the plurality of beams of the primary wavefront into multiple directions to obtain multi directional energy wavefront as output of the wave slicer grill 108.

[00108] In an embodiment, the wave slicer grill 108 can be coupled with at least one resonator plate 604 to generate secondary standing waves having constant peaks with amplitude of such standing waves at a point in space varying with time, but their phase staying constant with respect to time. In an embodiment, the at least one resonator plate 604 can assist in attenuation of the primary wavefront and lateral traverse length of the secondary standing waves prior to emission of the energy waves through the wave slicer grill 108. In an embodiment, attenuation of the primary wavefront and lateral traverse length of the secondary standing waves are dependent on diameter and shape of the at least one resonator plate 604 and can be modulated by changing any or a combination of the diameter and shape of the at least one resonator plate 604.

[00113] FIG. 7 illustrates an exemplary representation of the donut shaped/toroidal energy wavefront emitted from the transducer assembly in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In an aspect, the donut shaped/toroidal energy wavefront202 includes multi-directional low frequency ultrasonic carrier sweep with an encapsulated multi-directional sonic frequency sweep. The sonic waves are encapsulated with the ultrasonic waves such that frequency ranges of the ultrasonic waves and the encapsulated sonic waves can confer with the natural resonant frequency of human body as a whole as well as at cellular level in order to effective stimulate and/or module cell metabolism of the human body with the help of the ultrasonic vibrations generated thereof.

[00114] In an embodiment, the transducer assembly 100 can be configured to modulate parabolic spin angle of the energy wavefront. In an embodiment, the wave shaping and scattering unit can further be configured to modulate parabolic spin angle of the energy wavefront, to block at least a portion of any of the energy wavefront, the primary standing waves and the secondary standing waves , to modulate amplitude of the energy wavefront, and to slice the energy wavefront at appropriate grill angles so as to obtain the donut shaped/toroidal multi-beam and multi-directional energy waveform as output of the secondary wave shaping and scattering unit.

[00115] In an embodiment, sonic waves are beneficial in stimulating bodily functions at organ and cell level. However, use of sonic waves in medical applications is confined as they do not have the ability to penetrate deep tissue. On the contrary, low intensity and low frequency ultrasonic waves have deeper penetration than sonic waves. Hence, encapsulation of sonic waves with ultrasonic carrier allows the sonic waves to piggy back on the ultrasonic carrier. In addition, the ultrasonic carrier also assists in cellular/organ revitalization to enhance operational capability of the medical application, for example, engulfing a subject being treated with the generated toroidal/donut shaped energy waves from all directions.

[00116] In an embodiment, the proposed transducer assembly 100 can allow generation of a non-contact, non-invasive, airborne, toroidal shaped, encapsulated energy wavefront having sonic waves encapsulated by ultrasonic waves, useful in medical treatments, such as but not limited to, stimulation of cell metabolism, targeted tissue repair (Diabetic foot ulcer and Venus ulcer and all other types wounds) and organ re-vitalization, enhancing drug delivery and efficiency, and other non-medical uses, such as but not limited to, non-destructive testing of structures.

[00117] In an embodiment, mechanical effects of the proposed transducer assembly 100 can modify cell membrane permeability leading to different rates of transports of ions and molecules across the cell membrane. Exposure to the proposed transducer assembly 100 can lead to increase in potassium ion influx together with increase in sodium efflux, without inducing cell lysis or gross membrane damage. An increase in the intracellular concentration of calcium ions can be seen to occur after exposure to the proposed transducer assembly 100. Further, the proposed transducer assembly 500 works on the Thermal and Non-Thermal principles of Ultrasonic physics known as Cavitations, Acoustic Streaming, Microbubbles, Sonoporation, and Sonophoresis and are the possible mechanism for enhanced tissue permeability. The proposed transducer assembly 500 effects help enhances calcium influx and the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells.

[00118] In an embodiment, the proposed transducer assembly 100 can generate microbubbles in water and lipid bilayers of the skin and can increase permeability of cell membrane to drugs delivered by the process of acoustic streaming and sonophoresis through mechano transduction.

[00119] In an embodiment, the proposed transducer assembly 100 can improve the action potential of drugs, and further improves glycemic control. Therapeutic use of airborne ultrasonic generated by the proposed transducer assembly 100 induce, improvise, regain, rebuild, repair, alter and treat diseased human immunological system there by improving histological, pathological, biochemical and biomedical parameters of diseased human body and also induce remedial natural disease-free health. The proposed transducer assembly 100 also helps in increasing Vitamin D and calcium levels in patients, thus, reducing Alpha Glucosydase levels.

[00120] In an embodiment, the proposed transducer assembly 100 is very effective in treatment of Diabetic foot ulcer, Venus ulcer and all other types of wounds. The proposed transducer assembly 100 is useful for drug delivery of large molecule such as B6/B12 and absorption of the same. Also, the proposed transducer assembly 100 is useful for better management of diabetes and associated vascular and cardio vascular complications. It has potential in preventing the future onset on diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy and other associated complications because of poor glycemic control.

[00121] In an embodiment, due to proper management of Diabetes, Homocystien Metabolism can be regulated effectively, Vitamin D and calcium Metabolism can be regulated effectively and immune profile of a subject can be improved. When Vitamin B6/B12 absorption is increased overall reduction in inflammation in the body comes down. Hence absorption of calcium and vitamin D is increased. This results in reduced resistance to Peripheral insulin, reduction in alpha and beta cell dysfunction, and increases in insulin production. Better glycemic control by using the proposed transducer assembly 100 improves reduction and reversal of neuro and muscular degeneration in the body.

[00122] It would be appreciated that the proposed transducer assembly 100 is a better remedial measure for the management of diabetes and associated vascular complications and cardio vascular complications. It has potential in preventing the future onset on diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy and other associated complications because of better glycemic control. The exposure with the proposed transducer assembly 100 after a specific duration of meals may have action in decreasing the body weight gain and anti- hyperglycemic episodes. The reduction in body inflammations indicated the reduced risk of adverse cardiac event among diabetic patients. Similarly, the decline in plasma homocysteine level is indicative of prevention from endothelial dysfunction.

[00123] A study has been conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of non-contact, low frequency airborne ultrasonic therapy using proposed device and standard treatment with sham therapy added to standard treatment in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).

[00124] The study design was a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled single center study. Prospective patients with diabetes attending the foot care facility at a tertiary care hospital in North India, age 18 to 60 years with foot ulcers (wound size of at least 2 cm2), Wagner Grades 2 or 3 and an ankle-brachial index (ABI) of > 0.5 were included in the study. Patients with foot ulcer of aetiologies other than diabetes, gangrene of the foot, ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, hepatic disease (liver enzymes >2.5 times ULN), chronic kidney diseases (eGFR<45ml/min/l.73m2), pregnant and lactating women, patients taking immunosuppressive medications like glucocorticoids, cytotoxic drugs and patients with a history of chronic alcoholism or substance abuse were excluded from the study. The study was conducted in accordance with the principles set forth in the Helsinki International Wound Declaration (7th revision amended in October 2013) and as per ICH - GCP guidelines. The study protocol was approved by the institute Ethics Committee and a written and informed consent was obtained from all the participants.

[00125] Seventy patients with neuropathic, clinically infected or non-infected DFU (wound size > 2 cm2), Wagner Grade 2 and 3 with ankle -brachial index (ABI) of >0.5 were included. Patients received ultrasonic therapy ( as enabled using proposed transducer assembly ) sham therapy for 28 days dosed daily for first 6 days followed by twice a week for next 3 weeks along with standard of care for DFU including debridement, antibiotics for infected wounds, dressings and offloading. Wound size was measured during each visit and automated area calculation was performed with wound zoom camera.

[00126] The data for fifty-eight patients was finally evaluated. The duration of wound was

15.8 +/- 11.2 weeks and 12.1 +/- 10.9 weeks and wound area of 11.3 +/- 8.2 cm² and 14.8 +/-

13.8 cm (p=0.507) in the ultrasonic and sham group, respectively. A 50% reduction in wound area was observed in 39 patients with 61.5% and 38.5% subjects (p=0.042) and complete wound closure was observed in 11 subjects with 72.7% and 27.3% (p=0.033) in ultrasound and sham group, respectively. The reduction in wound area was 69.4+/- 23.2% and 59.6 +/- 24.9% (p=0.l26) in the ultrasound and sham group, respectively. The rate of wound contraction was faster in first two weeks among patients with ultrasound therapy compared to sham treatment.

[00127] As can be concluded from above, the airborne low frequency ultrasonic therapy provided by proposed transducer assembly improves and hastens healing of chronic neuropathic DFU when combined with standard wound care.
