  • Publication number: 20220402634
    Abstract: This invention relates to technology used for creating an enhanced artificial magnetosphere or electromagnetic shield for use in both manned and unmanned spacecraft. The invention includes an Interference Generating Pattern (IGP) which is tuned to the high-frequency radiation of X-rays and gamma rays and a conformal magnetic field. This technology will reduce the exposure of astronauts or other space travelers, as well as radiation-sensitive equipment, to the environmental hazards present therein. The net result will be reduced flux intensity in order to create a space radiation-free environment as to render space travel safe.

  • Publication number: 20220178981
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for detecting biomaterial anomalies in a test subject for diagnosing existing and potential medical conditions. The general technique utilized is to expose a portion of the test subject to low doses of RF electromagnetic energy. Different biomaterials in a test subject may be differentiated and identified by characterizing their electromagnetic properties based on observed parameters, e.g., electromagnetic energy absorbed, thermal energy created, and electromagnetic energy emitted, during irradiation of the test subject. This invention allows for the efficient utilization of multiple frequency bands allowed by the FCC, as well as a more precise distribution of electromagnetic energy to the test subject.

  • Patent number: 7366472
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of rendering telecommunication devices ineffective, by creating a substantially radio frequency radiation-free environment by providing an interference generating pattern (IGP) adjacent to the environment in a position between the environment and a source of radio frequency radiation signals so as to substantially reduce, or interfere with such signals thus preventing typical operation of the wireless telecommunications devices. The IGP is generally one that is non-conductive and is or includes a diffraction grating. The IGP is positioned adjacent the environment between the environment and a source of radio frequency radiation signals. Preferably, the IGP is provided as a support member configured in the shape of a diffraction grating, and includes a paint or coating of a non-conductive material having a high dielectric constant thereon.

  • Patent number: 7212147
    Abstract: A method for reducing radar cross section of an object that has conductive portions and that is expected to be scanned by radar, which includes providing the object with a multiple layer radar cross section reducing structure that reduces or entraps or dissipates radar waves therein so that the size or configuration of the object cannot be correctly detected by radar scanning. The invention also relates to the radar cross section reducing structure alone or associated with an object such as a vehicle that transports personnel or equipment. The structure can be provided on an object that previously has no stealth capability or it can be applied to an object that already has stealth capability for increasing its capability to prevent correct detection by radar scanning.

  • Patent number: 6785512
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of rendering telecommunication devices ineffective by creating a substantially radio frequency radiation-free environment. An interference generating pattern is provided adjacent the environment in a position between the environment and a source of radio frequency radiation signals so as to substantially reduce, or interfere with such signals thus preventing typical operation of the telecommunications devices therein. Preferably, the interference generating pattern is provided by applying silicon carbide as a coating or as part of a building material onto a structure to reduce attenuation by at least 20 to 50 decibels. Other aspects of the invention include the building materials that have the interference generating pattern associated therewith and the substantially radio frequency radiation-free environments that are created according to the methods disclosed herein.
