  • Publication number: 20220274604
    Abstract: A system for delivery of ultra-low radio frequency energy to an individual to assist the individual to remain, or become, alert, awake, or focused includes at least one delivery coil and a delivery device that includes at least one memory; at least one data file configured for producing signals derived from measurements of at least one molecule; and at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and the at least one delivery coil. The at least one processor is configured to perform actions that include directing generation of the signals using the at least one data file and directing delivery of the signals to the at least one delivery coil to produce the ultra-low radio frequency energy.

  • Publication number: 20220195373
    Abstract: An incubator system includes an incubator unit including incubator chamber defined by chamber walls formed of a non-magnetic material; a control unit physically separated from the incubator unit and including operational controls for operation of the incubator system; and at least one duct coupling the incubator unit to the control unit, wherein the incubator system is configured so that the incubator chamber experiences a magnetic field variation of no more than 100 nT arising from the incubator system during incubation operation of the incubation system.

  • Patent number: 7081747
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for interrogating a sample that exhibits molecular rotation are disclosed. In practicing the method, the sample is placed in a container having both magnetic and electromagnetic shielding, and Gaussian noise is injected into the sample. An electromagnetic time-domain signal composed of sample source radiation superimposed on the injected Guassian noise is detected, and this signal is cross-correlated with a second time-domain signal produced by the same or similar sample, to produce a cross-correlated signal with frequency domain components. The latter is plotted in the frequency domain by a fast Fourier transform to produce a frequency domain spectrum in a frequency range within DC to 50 KHz. From this spectrum, one or more low-frequency signal components that are characteristic of the sample being interrogated are identified.

  • Patent number: 6724188
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for the repeatable detection and recording of low-threshold molecular electromagnetic signals. The sample material and detection apparatus are contained with a magnetically shielded faraday cage to shield them from extraneous electromagnetic signals. The detection apparatus includes a detection coil and Super Conducting Quantum Interference Device (“SQUID”). White noise is injected external to the SQUID and the signals emitted by the sample material enhanced by stochastic resonance.
