  • Patent number: 4545383
    Abstract: A tapered substantially cylindrical housing forming an antenna structure to collect radiation as an emission from a human body and consisting of an antenna, the antenna forming a reflective liner having an upward taper relative to the housing becoming reduced to a small outlet passage in the neck portion of the housing, a sensing plate across the neck portion of the housing above the outlet passage, a shutter pivotal to overlie the outlet passage, a hood having a reflective lining extending upwardly of the housing and providing access to the sensing plate, and both the liner and the hood focus radiation onto the sensing plate.

  • Patent number: 4479498
    Abstract: The method of analysis and corrective adjustment of a human body including scanning the body, and particularly the spinal column area, by an appropriately tuned radiometer to collect and display measured microwave emissions for detection of areas of stress such as may be present in connective tissue, nerve tissue or muscular tissue, the scanning permitting an analysis of subcutaneous microwave emissions from depths up to several centimeters, converting the collected emissions into a visual measured output, comparing the resulting output to a reference representing a normal range of emissions and observing during the application of corrective adjustment, the extent of correction being provided as changes displayed in the collected emissions are compared with the reference of a normal condition and noting through the application of corrective adjustment pressure in several radial directions, the particular radial direction in which the application of pressure secures the maximum reduction in deviation from said
