Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to techniques for using coherent electromagnetic (EM) waves to treat tumors and/or other growths. In certain example embodiments, a growth is imaged. Based on this image, a holographic plate is prepared. Coherent electromagnetic waves are then focused on the holographic plate so that a holographic image of the growth is formed on the actual growth. Magnetic particles may be injected at or proximate to the growth and captured in the EM field corresponding to the holographic image such that these injected particles are caused to congregate in and/or on the growth. In certain example embodiments, bombarding of the growth with the injected particles may help damage or destroy the tumor. In certain example embodiments, the particles, once attached to and/or embedded in the actual growth may be irradiated (e.g., using a microwave or other energy source) so as to further damage or destroy the growth.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing vehicle window (e.g., windshield and/or backlite) visible light transmission when high beams are detected. In certain example embodiments, a detector detects the presence of a light source above certain luminescent threshold. A controller then reduces the visible light transmission of a windshield and/or backlite via an electrochromic process and/or by using electrodes to apply a voltage across a gas-filled chamber for example. The visible light transmission is restored when the controller determines that the light source detected has dropped below the threshold luminescence or has disappeared.
