  • Use of D-ribose, including as a topical vehicle, to promote faster healing, including from surgical procedures
    Publication number: 20040127428
    Abstract: This invention discloses the unique ability of D-ribose to act both as a topical carrier and vehicle for topical drugs and a systemic precursor for nucleosides and nucleotides so that it can be used both systemically and topically in conjunction with outside energy devices such as TENS devices, lasers, and other radiation devices, to facilitate healing as well as facilitating anti-inflammatory, anti-infective and anti-neoplastic pursuits in the treatment of injuries and diseases.

  • Sequential stress testing of the heart to indicate metabolically, possible hibernating myocardium
    Publication number: 20030130580
    Abstract: This disclosure is to enable the metabolic nutrient d-ribose to be administered as a precursor for ATP for diagnostic use both to determine abnormal heart muscle from normal under stress to detect possible hibernating myocardium and to differentiate the degree of abnormality or hibernating when abnormal hearts are discovered by this or other techniques and in addition to enable a practitioner to determine the amount of de novo d-ribose that would make an improvement in the therapy of ischemic hearts.

  • Combination of non-living-source physical energy and living-source chemical energy to maximize the salvage of ATP
    Patent number: 6553254
    Abstract: A method of combining two energy-facilitating units for a therapeutic purpose, the first being a non-living-source physical energy device that employs such physical energy to be applied to a local area, and the second is a solitary chemical that employs living-source bioenergy to cells that are the target of the physical unit which combination renders increased intracellular energy to better effect healing by better salvaging and producing ATP.

  • Using D-ribose with or without anti-microbial agents to enhance healing and subsequent recovery by both synthesizing and sparing NAD derivatives
    Publication number: 20030045482
    Abstract: This disclosure is for the nutrient, D-ribose, as well as other nutrient precursors of ATP and NAD when desired, to be administered with one or more anti-microbial agents for the purpose of enabling the anti-microbial agents to function better in combating infection than if the D-ribose were not given, plus enabling the nutrient D-ribose to improve the ability of the cloaking protein Sir2p to protect genes from attack further strengthening the immune system against infection.

  • Pulfrich illusion turntable
    Patent number: 4941041
    Abstract: A method is disclosed that simplifies and makes practical the utilization of the Pulfrich illusion for converting 2-D live television and videotapes into 3-D with or without using shaded lenses, by using a turntable large enough to hold both the cameras and the subjects, on which the scenes are shot with precise motion against the stationary background.

  • Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device
    Patent number: 4723552
    Abstract: By generating and applying topically, to a patient suffering pain in the areas in which the patient is experiencing pain, a train of electrical pulses having a stimulation region comprising contiguous, alternately positive and negative triangular pulses followed by a rest region of substantially constant amplitude, which may be zero, the time duration of the rest region being approximately 10 to 15 miliseconds, said stimulation region having a duration of from 2 to 20 miliseconds, optimal pain relieving effects are realized.

  • Novel hybrid electric vehicle
    Patent number: 4438342
    Abstract: By utilizing, in a hybrid (electrical-heat engine) vehicle an alternator which is totally free of elemental iron in its magnetic circuit, the alternator (with appropriate rectification means) can be connected, selectively, in series, parallel or in lieu of the storage battery pack for activating the electrical motor which drives the wheels of the vehicle or any other load mechanically coupled to the electrical motor. Quick surges of power can thus be delivered to the load to achieve, for example, rapid acceleration of a vehicle.
