Janie P. Blanchard has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6238899
    Abstract: A method for altering or affecting ionic interactions in systems containing an unhydrated ion in a chemical or biological system comprising controlling the orientation and varying the intensity and fluctuation frequency of perpendicular or perpendicular and parallel paired static and sinusoidally varying magnetic fields so as to create magnetic interactions between ions and the molecules with which the ions are associated. Using the ion parametric resonance (IPR) model of the present invention, the magnetic fields can be adjusted to control precisely the desired orientation, intensity and fluctuation frequency of the magnetic fields.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 10, 1999

  • Patent number: 5919679
    Abstract: A method is presented for altering or affecting ionic interactions in systems containing an unhydrated ion, including cells and organisms, using magnetic fields. The method involves controlling the orientation and varying the intensity and fluctuation frequency of paired static and sinusoidally varying magnetic fields in such a way as to create certain magnetic interactions between ions and the molecules with which they are associated. Using the ion parametric resonance (IPR) model developed in the present invention, the magnetic fields can be adjusted to control precisely the desired orientation, intensity and fluctuation frequency of the magnetic fields.
