  • Patent number: 8734535
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel methods for affecting, controlling and/or directing various crystal formation, structure formation or phase formation/phase change reaction pathways or systems by exposing one or more components in a holoreaction system to at least one spectral energy pattern. In a first aspect of the invention, at least one spectral energy pattern can be applied to a crystallization reaction system. In a second aspect of the invention, at least one spectral energy conditioning pattern can be applied to a conditioning reaction system. The spectral energy conditioning pattern can, for example, be applied at a separate location from the reaction vessel (e.g., in a conditioning reaction vessel) or can be applied in (or to) the reaction vessel, but prior to other (or all) crystallization reaction system participants being introduced into the reaction vessel.

  • Publication number: 20110073462
    Abstract: A wide variety of reactions can be advantageously affected and directed by a spectral catalyst which duplicates the electromagnetic energy spectral pattern of a physical catalyst and when applied to a reaction system transfers a quanta of energy in the form of electromagnetic energy to control and/or promote the reaction system. The spectral catalysts utilized in this invention can replace and/or augment the energy normally provided to the reaction system by a physical catalyst. A spectral catalyst may also act as both a positive catalyst to increase the rate of a reaction or as a negative catalyst to decrease the rate of reaction.

  • Publication number: 20040089532
    Abstract: This invention relates to a novel method to affect, control and/or direct a reaction pathway (e.g., organic, inorganic, biologic or other reaction) by, for example, exposing one or more participants in a reaction system to at least one spectral energy pattern (e.g., at least one spectral pattern comprising at least one frequency of electromagnetic radiation) which can be op made to correspond to at least a portion of a spectral catalyst or a spectral energy catalyst. The invention also relates to mimicking various mechanisms of action of various catalysts in reaction systems under various environment reaction conditions. The invention fiber discloses methods for simulating at least partially, one or more environmental reaction conditions by the application of one or more spectral environmental reason conditions.
