  • Patent number: 11590245
    Abstract: A method of passively detecting radiofrequency (RF) signals spontaneously emitted by a non-equilibrium population of electrons that are spin polarized by flowing through a chiral media during relaxation of the spin polarized electrons to equilibrium at a frequency corresponding to a Zeeman spin-flip energy of the spin polarized electrons under influence of a magnetic field (MF). The MF is applied to the chiral media for a predefined time period to shift a frequency and magnitude of the spontaneously emitted RF signals in line with Zeeman effect. The shifted emitted RF signals is passively detected and stored for medical use applications using a receiver antenna tuned to a resonant frequency of the shifted emitted RF signals.

  • Patent number: 11191852
    Abstract: A novel medical device that utilizes, for diagnosis and other medical uses, the detection of emitted radiofrequency (RF) signals experimentally shown as spontaneously emitted by a non-equilibrium population of spin polarized electrons in chiral media during their relaxation to equilibrium. The emitted RF signals correspond to the Zeeman spin-flip energy of electrons under the influence of a magnetic field (MF), which in the absence of an external MF are too difficult to detect. Using a larger MF shifts the low energy, low frequency RF emission of spin polarized electrons to a higher RF power emission wave characterized by a fixed resonant frequency. The detection of these higher RF power emissions is relatively easy using conventional MF magnet sources and antenna receiver technology.

  • Publication number: 20180126010
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for medical diagnosis devices to facilitate the detection and measuring of emitted RF waves in living cell organisms characterized by chiral matter the electron transport chain of which includes spin polarized electrons. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, an MF of appropriate magnitude is generated to cause the spin polarized electrons to reside at a higher energy level. The electron currents are then detected that are generated in the living cell organisms (and constituted by associated RF emissions) as the spin polarized electrons relax to an equilibrium state. The detecting of the electron currents is achieved using, for example, a receiver to detect an RF wave tuned to a frequency that is proportional to the magnitude of the MF at the fixed depth.

  • Patent number: 7704941
    Abstract: Improved citral derivatives, and fragrances and flavorings including the derivatives, that have a longer useful shelf life than citral and/or fragrances and flavorings including citral, are disclosed. In particular, the derivatives maintain the fragrance characteristics of citral, while lowering the allergic properties, and lemony flavors and fragrances with a longer shelf-life than citral, are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of making the derivatives, and articles of manufacture including the derivatives. In one embodiment, the derivatives are prepared by replacing one or more double bonds in citral with a cyclopropyl group, which can be unsubstituted, or substituted with one or two lower alkyl, preferably methyl groups. The alkyl groups can optionally be substituted, for example, with electron donating groups, electron with drawing groups, groups which increase the hydrophilicity or hydrophobocity, and the like.
