  • Patent number: 8285391
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel hygienic-therapeutic or personal care devices that are based upon intense far-infrared sources in which radiation is generated by novel conductive materials. The conductive materials are specially designed and made to radiate ten to thousands times more intense far-infrared radiation than typical conductive materials, and such strong far-infrared radiation is achieved with high, typically greater than 90%, conversion efficiency of energy to radiation. The radiation properties of the proposed conductive materials do not follow the Wien's law (“black body” law). The devices are intended to be used in therapy, medicine, cosmetic technology, hygiene technology, or household use.

  • Patent number: 8118032
    Abstract: This invention discloses cryo-heating devices and methods for cooling and heating objects in a very rapid timescale, from femtosecond to subsecond. The cryo-heating device comprising of an up-converting electromagnetic energy medium and an electromagnetic source that is further supported by another radiation source selected from the group of sonic, magnetic, electric, electroluminescent, up-converted luminescence, pressure and thermal. The medium in the cryo-heating phototreatment device is cooling or heating objects by up-conversion of electromagnetic energy and by conversion of electromagnetic energy, respectively. Both, cooling and heating of objects are achieved by electromagnetic radiation at different wavelengths, or at the same wavelength when objects are also absorbing electromagnetic radiation. The invention also proposes a further enhancement of cooling and heating of objects by the use of surface plasmon resonance conducting nanostructures embedded into the medium.

  • Publication number: 20090012445
    Abstract: This invention describes a novel method and a novel device for In-Situ replacement of abnormal biomaterials with regenerated new biomaterials having preserved its original functionalities. For example, a scalp tissue with lost hair cells is replaced with a new regenerated scalp tissue having hair cells. The device comprising of an intrusive means to remove or destroy abnormal biomaterials from a body of an individual and a regenerative means to stimulate function-recognitive biomaterials in the body in places where was removed abnormal biomaterials, and then use the stimulated function-recognitive biomaterials to enable or to accelerate regeneration processes of new normally functional biomaterials. The described In-Situ biomaterial regeneration is performed without need of the use of the function-recognitive biomaterials harvested from other places in the body than from the places where were removed abnormal biomaterials.

  • Patent number: 7462496
    Abstract: The methods and applications of a surface plasmon resonance-enhanced marking technique are disclosed. The technique uses surface plasmon resonance (SPR) excited nanoparticles and a surface plasmon resonance source in nonlinear interactions with nearby chemical substances and medium for marking purposes. The SPR-enhanced absorption and fluorescence rates of chemical substances or medium and nonlinearity of SPR interactions with chemical substances or medium make the proposed method suitable for marking fragile materials including biomaterials, such as writing on thin plastic foils or DNA-protein crosslinking. The marking method can also be applied to a three-dimensional recording and read out information system with subwavelength resolutions, coding information of secrete documents, drug delivery, tissue surgery, tattoo writing or removal, photodynamic therapy, cosmetic and dermatological treatment.

  • Patent number: 7328708
    Abstract: This invention discloses an LED multiplex source and a method of using multi-band-type energies from the source for sterilization, bioactivation, and therapy of a targeted body. The LED multiplex source is a pulsed/modulated LED source with at least one different member of the group of pulsed/modulated radiation sources consisting of: an electromagnetic, acoustic, electroluminescent, thermal, and/or magnetic source. The invention also teaches how to convert heat generated by the LED multiplex source into electromagnetic radiation and uses this radiation for sterilization, bioactivation, and therapy. The LED multiplex source is an energy-efficient radiation source, is compact, and also provides sensory feedback to optimize, in real-time, sterilization, bioactivation, and therapy processes. The invented source will replace some of the existing radiation sources and, as well, will open new areas of applications.

This therapeutic light source includes a multiplicity of light emitting diodes (LED's) found in the ranges of 350 nm to 1000+ nm and fiber optic connections. A neoprene type material or other non-allergenic material is used to set the LED's and fiber optics in layers consisting of contact with the skin to few centimeters from the skin tissue. Distance will vary from contact or near contact with devices to several millimeters of separation. Each LED array is independently controlled allowing for optimal modulation of light frequencies and wavelengths. Technology is integrated allowing for biomedical feedback of tissue temperature and other statistical information.
