Memory enhancing apparatus

Claim 1

Memory enhancing apparatus including: a solid state oscillating section for generating a plurality of sequentially occurring first signals, each of said first signals having a frequency different from that of the immediately preceding signal; a solid state frequency counting section for receiving said plurality of first signals and responsively generating a plurality of sequentially occurring second signals having a duration substantially identical one to the other, each sequential pair of said second signals being spaced by time intervals of differing durations; a solid state dividing section coupled to said counting section and including means for determining the frequencies of said first signals; an output section coupled to said counting section for providing a sequence of reminding signals, each of said reminding signals being in response to one of said second signals, said remining signals being of equivalent duration and of equivalent pitch one to the other, and; a switch coupled to said counting section, said oscillating section, said dividing section and said output section and operable by a user for actuating said apparatus, said apparatus automatically and indefinitely emitting a plurality of reminding signals upon actuation of said switch, the time of occurrence of said reminding signals being independent of the actual time, said reminding signals being initiated relatively soon after actuation by said user, said signals having a substantially constant volume.
