  • Patent number: 11956881
    Abstract: An array of non-thermal plasma emitters is controlled to emit plasma based on application of an electric current at desired frequencies and a controlled power level. A power supply for an array controller includes a transformer that operates at the resonant frequency of the combined capacitance of the array and the cable connecting the array to the power supply. The power into the array is monitored by the controller and can be adjusted by the user. The controller monitors reflected power characteristics, such as harmonics of the alternating current, to determine initiation voltage of the plasma and/or resonant frequency plasma emitters. The array of non-thermal plasma emitters may be used in therapeutic, diagnostic, and/or medical sanitization applications, including where a non-thermal plasma treatment regimen for infections such as Trichophyton rubrum, or other fungal infections, is prescribed.

  • Publication number: 20230330427
    Abstract: As described herein, the combination of one or more cannabinoids with non-thermal plasma in therapeutically effective amounts synergistically improves the effects of both. A method of treating a condition of a subject using non-thermal plasma includes applying a cannabinoid vehicle comprising at least one cannabinoid topically to skin of the subject, and, using a device that generates the non-thermal plasma, applying a therapeutically effective amount of the non-thermal plasma to the subject and the cannabinoid vehicle applied to the subject. The condition may be insomnia or pain in soft tissue of the subject, and the method can include the cannabinoid vehicle onto an area of the skin near the soft tissue and operating the device to emit the non-thermal plasma at a plasma frequency of between 100 Hz and 10,000 Hz onto the area of the skin for between 20 and 40 minutes.

  • Publication number: 20230321294
    Abstract: A connector is configured to electrically connect a plasma emitter array with an identification chip to a power supply controller, and to further mechanically support the emitter device supporting the array during use. Cooperating components of the connector and emitter device form a magnetic latch assembly: the connector includes one or more magnets flush with a top receiving surface of the connector, and one or more alignment pegs extending outward from the receiving surface; the emitter device includes a steel plate attached to a substrate, and one or more holes disposed through the plate and the substrate. The holes align with the alignment pegs and the magnets attract the plate and secure the emitter device against the top receiving surface. Electrical contacts of the connector establish electrical communication with the identification chip, providing power to the emitter device and enabling the controller to read data stored in the identification chip.

  • Publication number: 20230215517
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying characteristics of a subject using a biofield scan obtained from the subject. An embodiment can include a method for cross-correlating biofield scans to an enome database, and/or a genome database. A phenotype history and a biofield scan can be created from a user. A user's biofield scan can be created from measured amplitude and frequency. A database is created from a user's phenotype history, and biofield scan. The user's phenotype history and biofield scans are then correlated with known physical and biochemical characteristics. A biofield signature is created and compared to the user's phenotype history, and biofield scan.

  • Publication number: 20230000383
    Abstract: A detection device for detecting and characterizing biological energy fields emitted by biological specimens is configured to collect and analyze an electromagnetic signal that includes millimeter-length waves generated by the interaction of atmospheric plasma with torsion waves of the biological energy field. The device performs spectral analysis on the millimeter waves to determine characteristics of the corresponding torsion waves that generated them. An array of several hundred non-thermal plasma plumes are placed directly in front of a circular horn. A switchable circular polarizer is used to select left hand circular, linear or right hand circular polarization. A low noise frequency converter allows a noise temperature of less than 1150 K. A frequency scan and averaging algorithm is developed to characterize noise temperature versus frequency, comparing signal and noise levels between plasma on and plasma off, and switching polarization sense.

  • Publication number: 20220151498
    Abstract: A device for detecting and analyzing vital fields includes: a dielectric barrier discharge array fabricated on a thin substrate with low dielectric loss; an air permeable sheet for electrical insulation from the skin; a transformer for generating sufficient AC voltage to cause air breakdown in the array; a signal transformer and bypass capacitor for isolating the radio frequency current from the plasma discharge; circuitry for amplification and narrow-band spectrum analysis of the plasma discharge current. The amplified signal from the plasma discharge current is gated to include only signal from the part of the drive waveform where plasma discharge predominantly occurs. Frequency converters reduce the complexity of narrow-band spectrum analysis; spectrum analysis is done by Fast Fourier Transform analysis of the frequency converter outputs. The different FFT results are compared and analyzed to aid the user with the correct array placement on the body, and the detection of medical conditions.

  • Publication number: 20220061916
    Abstract: A single non-thermal atmospheric plasma generation device is used to detect and analyze vital fields of a living subject to determine the presence of a condition, such as an illness or injury, and responsively modify characteristics of the plasma to treat, heal, or alleviate the condition. The device includes a capacitance dielectric discharge array of plasma emitters, and a controller having a power supply, a transformer, and circuit components for driving the transformer at a resonant frequency of the plasma emitters to cause the plurality of plasma emitters to ionize surrounding air and produce the non-thermal plasma. The resonant frequency is around 60 GHz and harmonics thereof. A receiver of the device recovers frequency mixing products from the plasma, which are extracted by signal processing circuitry; signals in the VHF and UHF bands are extracted and analyzed to determine whether signatures of particular vital fields are present.
