Optimized fluid channels, flexible thermoelectric electric coolers (“TECs”), and fixed frame therapeutic stations along with methods of making the same are disclosed herein. Consequently, the optimized fluid channels provide an improved HEM whereby the fluid seal is more secure, and the manufacturing is more easily completed. Moreover, the flexible TECs provide a more conformed design to the end user and allow for more focused and efficient heat transfer. Finally, the fixed frame therapeutic station(s) provide for a fixed frame which allows differential heating and cooling on the glabrous skin areas of a human to provide additive benefits during heating and cooling therapeutic regimes.

A system to provide physical therapy in the form of heating, cooling and/or percussion, comprising: a device that contains a battery, a motor, and a switch to turn the device on or off or put the device in heating mode or put the device in cooling mode or put the device in percussion mode; wherein the device contains a motor and a pushing rod that supply the movement that results in percussion of a removable heating/cooling attachment and a removable percussion attachment; wherein the front of the device connects to the removable heating/cooling attachment that contains an electronic component to control heating or cooling and a cooling fan; wherein the removable heating/cooling attachment can be used for heating or cooling; wherein a housing shell for the heating/cooling attachment is made of plastic, foam, or metal, or any combination of plastic, foam and metal; wherein the front part of the heating/cooling attachment is made of metal that has the capability to be in contact with human skin in order to provide either heating or cooling at fixed or adjusted degrees that are optimal for physical therapy and/or blood circulation; wherein the removable heating/cooling attachment can be replaced by the removable percussion attachment that is used for percussion; wherein the removable percussion attachment can be placed on the skin of a user in order to provide percussion at fixed or adjusted speeds that are optimal for physical therapy.

Systems and methods for providing vibration and temperature therapy via a therapy device is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a therapy device includes a pad comprising an adhesive layer configured to adhere to a skin surface of a user. The therapy device includes a control unit coupled to the pad. The control unit is configured to provide temperature therapy to the skin surface of the user and provide vibration therapy to the skin surface of the user. The pad includes a coupling connector configured to removably couple the control unit. The pad can include a heat generation module comprising a resistive wire and a heat spreader. The pad can include one or more electrical stimulation modules, wherein each electrical stimulation module comprises a conductor and a pad. The pad includes a temperature sensor coupled to the heat generation module. The adhesive layer can be coupled to the heat spreader.

Disclosed is a high frequency treatment handpiece having roller electrodes. The handpiece includes: a handpiece casing part; and a plurality of roller electrode members rotatably positioned on a lower surface of the handpiece casing part and applying a high frequency by being brought into contact with the skin. The handpiece prevents burning when the continuous rubbing of a treated area is performed during a treatment, allows a practitioner to conveniently perform the treatment, and allows a person being treated to comfortably receive the treatment with minimum pain. Ball electrodes and roller electrodes can be selectively used, and a roller fixed mode, which limits the rotation of the roller electrodes, can also be selectively used, and thus various massage effects can be selectively provided in accordance with the condition of a patient's skin, and the effect of the high frequency treatment can be maximized by means of the various massage effects.

In methods for treating a patient, a time varying magnetic field is applied to a patient's body and causes a muscle contraction. The time-varying magnetic field may be monophasic, biphasic, polyphasic and/or static. The method may reduce adipose tissue, improve metabolism, blood and/or lymph circulation. The method may use combinations of treatments to enhance the visual appearance of the patient.

An apparatus for treating athlete's foot. The apparatus includes: a main body having at least one body accommodating space part to accommodate a body portion of at least one of a hand and foot; a laser output unit mounted onto the main body, and provided to emit laser light from an upper side to a lower side of the body accommodating space part; and a laser swing unit driven so that the laser output unit swings on the main body, in which the laser output unit includes a first laser diode emitting laser light of a 405 nm wavelength and a second laser diode emitting laser light of a 635 nm wavelength. The apparatus is capable of treating athlete's foot generated on the hand, foot, nails, or toenails by using the light from a laser and/or an LED having a wavelength band useful for treating athlete's foot.

Systems configured to acquire temperature signals from an Abreu Brain Thermal Tunnel (ABTT), to analyze the temperatures signals, and to determine a condition of a human body from the analysis, and a method for doing the same, are described. In addition, systems for application of thermal signals to the ABTT for treatment of conditions are described.

Methods, apparatuses, systems, and implementations for inductive heating of a foreign metallic implant are disclosed. A foreign metallic implant may be heated via AMF pulses to ensure that the surface of the foreign metallic implant heats in a uniform manner. As the surface temperature of the foreign metallic implant rises, acoustic signatures may be detected by acoustic sensors that may indicate that tissue may be heating to an undesirable level approaching a boiling point. Once these acoustic signatures are detected, the AMF pulses may be shut off for a time period to allow the surface temperature of the implant to cool before applying additional AMF pulses. In this manner, the surface temperature of a foreign metallic implant may be uniformly heated to a temperature adequate to treat bacterial biofilm buildup on the surface of the foreign metallic implant without damaging surrounding tissue. The AMF pulse treatment can be combined with an antibacterial/antimicrobial treatment regimen to reduce the time and/or antibacterial dosage amount needed to remove the biofilm from the metallic implant.

Disclosed are an extruded honeycomb catalyst, a process for preparing the catalyst, a method for reducing NOx in the exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine by using the catalyst, and a method for treatment of the emission gas generated from power plant comprising exposing the emission gas to the catalyst.
