Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007019580A2] Transducers and resonators [110] are embedded in body support structures [104] in contact with a user to for the purpose of conveying musical sound energy to a user's body at selected frequencies and in selected patterns. Body support structures [104] comprise beds, pillows, chairs, and other structures typically used to support people. The sound may be audio tones and/or music. The transducers and resonators [110] may be incorporated into a foam component [310] or in a coil spring component [802] of the body support structure [104]. Latex-type foams and beds made with springs are candidate body support structures [104] for receiving transducer's and resonators [110]. Electro-active polymers [1110] are also used as transducers [1100].
