Short Bio of Inventor Lee Weinstein
|
 |
Lee Weinstein has been inventing since he was 13 years old when he invented a device that could answer the phone before it rings, so he and his friends could call each other in the middle of the night and arrange to sneak out and pretend to be secret agents.
After graduating from and briefly teaching at MIT, Lee invented the electronic battle game now known as Laser Tag, and the electronic dog collar system now known as Radio Fence.
On occasional stints in corporate America between inventions, Lee has designed medical electronics for Hewlett Packard, designed high-voltage electronics that makes measurements miles underground for oil companies, and designed what was for a long time the world's most sophisticated battery testing system for Duracell.
At another time between inventions, Lee studied for and passed the US Patent bar exam, so he now a registered patent agent, and writes all his own and many of his friends' patent applications. |

A systematic review of the literature published in 2006 in Physical Therapy (Vol. 86:7, pp. 955-973) concluded that "Programs involving relaxation techniques and biofeedback, EMG [electromyography] training, and proprioceptive re-education may be more effective than placebo treatment or occlusal splints in decreasing pain and increasing TVO [total vertical opening] in people with acute or chronic myofascial or muscular TMD [temporomandibular disorder] in the short term and the long term."

| Measured Results Experienced by Customers |
The SleepGuard biofeedback headband is a tool, not a medicine. How well it works for you depends on how you use it (just like how well a hammer works to build a house depends on your skill level), and on the nature of the neurology of your particular tooth grinding and clenching habit. The six example graphs below are the results of three customers who responded slowly, and three customers who responded quickly. The graphs represent a month of time. Each day the data point on the "series 1" data point represents the number of clenching incidents counted that night by the unit, and the "series 2" data point represents the total number of seconds the user clenched that night.
