Abstract: Systems and methods for using antiprotons for terminating unwanted or undesirable cells which can be used in the treatment of conditions caused by the existence and/or proliferation of such undesirable cells. Such conditions include cardiovascular ailments, Parkinson's disease, wet macular degeneration, endocrine disorders, dermatological ailments, and cancer. Because of the unique nature of antiprotons and their annihilation characteristics, the preferred antiproton delivery device (1010, 1015, 1030) embodiments further incorporate detector arrays (1050a), capable of detecting characteristic emissions in the course of treatment.

Abstract: Process, machine, manufacture, composition of matter, and improvements thereto, with particular regard to generating electrical power. Representatively, the method can include: increasing temperature of a surface to produce radiation, a portion of the radiation having an infrared wavelength and a portion of the radiation having a wavelength shorter than the infrared wavelength; reflecting the infrared wavelength portion of the radiation emanating from said surface back toward said surface; and collecting the shorter wavelength portion of the radiation in a photovoltaic device to generate electrical power.

Abstract: A method for slowing and controlling a beam of charged particles includes the steps of superimposing at least one magnetic field on a mass and passing the beam through the mass and at least one magnetic field such that the beam and the mass slows but does not stop the particles. An apparatus for slowing and controlling a beam of charged particles includes a bending magnetic field superimposed on a focusing magnetic field within a mass.

Abstract: A method for using a synchrotron, the method including the steps of: providing a synchrotron designed to accelerate a hadron beam to higher momenta; altering said synchrotron to enable deceleration of hadron beams to lower momenta; and using the synchrotron in said altering step in decelerating a hadron beam to lower momentum.
