Patent number: 7579555Abstract: A disposable cover for electromagnetic treatment applicators prevents undesired exposure to potentially harmful radiation. The cover is a pouch-like structure having a back surface constructed from RF shielding material, such as metallized polyethylene, which back surface faces opposite, or away from, the treatment area. A portion of the cover which faces the treatment area is constructed from material transmissive to RF radiation from the applicator. Securing means, such as adhesive strips, or interlocking edges close an open end to secure the applicator inside the cover and to prevent RF radiation through the closed end. In use, an applicator is inserted within the cover and positioned over the area to be treated with the RF transmissive material overlying the treatment area.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2005Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: Regenesis Biomedical, Inc.Inventors: Frank R. George, Robert T. Bryant, Michael F. Daly, Arthur A. Loya, Mary C. Ritz

Patent number: 7572985Abstract: A disposable cover for electromagnetic treatment applicators prevents undesired exposure to potentially harmful radiation. The cover is a pouch-like structure having a back surface constructed from shielding material, such as metallized polyethylene, which back surface faces opposite, or away from, the treatment area. At least a portion of the cover which faces the treatment area is constructed solely from RF non-shielding material. Securing means, such as adhesive strips, or interlocking edges, secure the applicator inside the cover and close off any leaks. The electromagnetic properties of the cover are integrated into the circuitry for the treatment applicator, such that the applicator is not functional in the absence of the cover. In use, an electromagnetic treatment applicator is inserted into the cover and positioned over the area to be treated with the non-shielding portion or window of the cover overlying the treatment area.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2005Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Regenesis Biomedical, Inc.Inventors: Frank R.

Patent number: 6974961Abstract: A disposable cover for electromagnetic treatment applicators prevents undesired exposure to potentially harmful radiation. The cover is a pouch-like structure having a back surface (which faces opposite, or away from, the treatment area) constructed from shielding material, such as metallized polyethylene. At least a portion of the cover which faces the treatment area is constructed solely from non-shielding material. Adhesive strips, ZIP-LOCK®, or other interlocking edges, secure the applicator inside the cover and close off any leaks. The electromagnetic properties of the cover are integrated into the circuitry for the treatment applicator, such that the applicator is not functional in the absence of the cover. In use, an electromagnetic treatment applicator is inserted into the cover and positioned over the area to be treated, with the non-shielding, or “window”, portion of the cover overlying the treatment area.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2000Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignee: Regenesis Biomedical, Inc.Inventors: Frank R.

Patent number: 6353763Abstract: A method of and apparatus for the treatment of chronic wounds using pulsed electromagnetic energy provides a constant, known and replicable dosage output which remains unaffected by the capacitance of the patient's body. The apparatus is simple to operate, requiring little operator training or interaction with the apparatus. All specifications of the apparatus relating to the generation and emission of electromagnetic energy are fixed, with the specifications based on actual scientific studies of the various technical parameters involved, such as pulse width and RF dosage. The apparatus includes a pulsed electromagnetic energy generator, a power level controller and one or more thin applicators which can be flexible. The applicators are located immediately adjacent to the patient's body, without the aid of a support member or removal of any dressings or bandages.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2000Date of Patent: March 5, 2002Assignee: Regenesis Biomedical, Inc.Inventors: Frank R.

Patent number: 4234926Abstract: An environmentally controlled transportable container monitoring system including a data acquisition unit mounted to each container monitorable by the system, and a central microcomputer system located at a container storage site, e.g. a container ship or land based terminal, which communicates over existing on-site power wiring with the data acquisition unit of all containers plugged into the on-site power. The container data acquistion unit includes electronics forming a microcomputer adapted to store current container parameters, prepare a history of the container's past condition, and alert a system operator or other persons of an "out of limit" condition, a possible container malfunction, and to diagnose the source of the malfunction.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1978Date of Patent: November 18, 1980Assignee: Sealand Service Inc.Inventors: Clifford G.
