  • Patent number: 7904173
    Abstract: A pair of functional metal ion bands are provided. The pair of functional metal ion bands are attached to meridians and acupoints of the human body in a simple manner to induce a smooth flow of current in the body, thereby rapidly changing a disease condition to a normal state. The pair of functional metal ion bands comprise a gold-colored thin metal plate as a positive electrode and a silver-colored thin metal plate as a negative electrode wherein the gold-colored thin metal plate is composed of Cu and a metal selected from Ag, Au and Pt and the silver-colored thin metal plate is made of an alloy of Al, Si, Fe, Cu, Mn, Mg and Zn. The pair of functional metal ion bands are manufactured by processing each of the thin metal plates to have a thickness of 1 ?m to 1 cm and a diameter of 1 mm to 50 cm, and attaching the processed metal plate to one side of a soft adhesive fabric using an adhesive.

  • Patent number: 6718037
    Abstract: A computer having a modem outputs a telephone bell signals regardless of an active state of the computer as well as the modem. The modem provides a voltage signal responsive to the active state thereof. The computer system includes a bell signal generator for producing a bell signal in response to a ring signal received over a telephone line connected to the modem. Further, a relay switch is provided across the telephone line directed to the bell signal generator, the relay switch comprising normal-on switches allowing the telephone line to be connected to the bell signal generator when the modem is inactive state, and being activated to cut off the switch in response to the voltage signal fed from the modem. A speaker is connected to the output of the bell signal generator. If a telephone set is not connected to the modem, the computer of this invention may detect the telephone ring signal and sound a bell signal even if the computer as well as the modem is not in the active state.
