  • Patent number: 9687668
    Abstract: The Body Cavity Cancer Treatment System achieves extremely uniform temperatures inside the tissue of the body cavity thereby realizing optimal efficacy in enhancing operation of the chemotherapy agent while avoiding harm or pain to the patient. This is accomplished by the inclusion of “target particles”, such as nano-particles, into the body cavity along with the chemotherapy agent to enable the use of an externally generated energy field to cause heating of the chemotherapy agent and the surrounding tissue of the body cavity by the activation of the nano-particles. The proper selection of the applied energy field enables precise control of the heat generated by the movement of the nano-particles.

  • Publication number: 20140243733
    Abstract: The Invasive Agent Treatment System incorporates the pairing of energy fields with nano-particles to cause a thermal effect in the nano-particles, which thermal effect is transmitted into the biological cells of the invasive agent. The energy fields are derived from at least one or a combination of the following: an electric field, a magnetic field, an electromagnetic field (EM), an acoustic field, and an optical field. The Invasive Agent Treatment System provides the necessary coordination among the characteristics of the nano-particles, concentration of nano-particles, duration of treatment, and applied fields to enable the generation of precisely crafted fields and their application in a mode and manner to be effective with a high degree of accuracy.

  • Patent number: 4684929
    Abstract: Method and apparatus is disclosed for detecting a security threat in a zone. A transmitter within the zone directs a first microwave signal of frequency f.sub.0 to a reflector. The reflector doubles the frequency to 2f.sub.0 and reradiates it to a receiver. The receiver correlates the reflected signal (phase and/or amplitude) with the transmitted signal and provides spectral data to a digital signal processor. A seismic sensor within the security zone also provides seismic spectral data to the digital signal processor whenever seismic disturbances are detected within the zone. The digital signal processor compares the spectral data with predetermined stored spectral data. Whenever both the reflector signal and the seismic signal spectra indicate a security threat within the zone, an alarm signal is output. Loss of reflector output plus adverse seismic spectral data may also trigger an alarm. The dual-sensor configuration reduces false alarms and circumvention of the detection system.
