  • Chiropractic analytic technique with a liquid crystal sheet
    Patent number: 4043324
    Abstract: A method of chiropractic analysis using a liquid crystal sheet. A liquid crystal sheet is placed over the back of a patient properly positioned upon a chiropractic adjustment table. The chiropractic doctor studies the color patterns of the sheet for the purpose of analysis and then administers the appropriate adjustment to the patient. Thereafter, the color patterns are again studied and additional adjustment made when appropriate.

  • Method and apparatus for body X-raying
    Patent number: 4039836
    Abstract: An apparatus for X-raying having a source structure for providing X-rays. A patient is disposed in front of a bucky having a grid and film cassette. A support structure is disposed at a distance from the bucky and parallel thereto, the patient being therebetween. The source structure for the X-rays is attached to the support structure and is slidable along the length thereof. A motor moves the source structure at variable rates of speed along the length of the support structure. A feedback mechanism is attached to the source structure, moving therewith along the length of the support structure, and also is coupled to the motor.

  • Method for aiding diagnostic scanning of the body of a patient
    Patent number: 3980077
    Abstract: A circuit having an amplifier coupled to an oscillator, the oscillator having a second amplifier and a feedback circuit. Changes in resistance between an electrode coupled to the circuit and a probe, also connected to the circuit, are responded to by the circuit. Output components are connected to the circuit for providing visual and audio signals corresponding to the resistance changes and for recording the changes upon a chart. The electrode is grasped by a patient, and the probe is the hand of a doctor using the technique of palpation upon the patient.
