Cohen Attorney, Agent, or Firm Harry W. Breisford (7 ABSTRACT Sound is induced in the head of a person by radiating ‘the head with microwaves in the range of 100 mega hertz to 10,000 megahertz that are modulated with a particular waveform. The waveform consists of feo: ‘quency modulated bursts. Each burst is made up of ten to twenty aniformly spaced pulses grouped tightly to- ‘gether. The burst width is between 500 nanoroconds ‘and 100 microseconds. The pulse width isin the range fof 10 nanoseconds to 1 microsecond. The bursts are frequency modulated by the audio input to create the sensation of hearing in the person whose head is ed 8 Claims, 1 Drawing SheetUS.
