Abstract: An analog matching filter includes a first plate, a second plate coupled with the first plate and separated from the first plate via a spacer, and a replicate matching material fixed to an inside surface of the first plate. A conductive plate or sheet is fixed to an inside surface of the second plate, and an electrical circuit connects the first plate to the conductive plate or sheet. The replicate matching material and the conductive plate or sheet generate an opposite polarization pattern carried by the electrical circuit that is based on a polarization pattern of an animate entity according to a spatial gradient of the animate entity local electric field distribution.

Abstract: A remote detector detects the presence of dielectric materials, including energetic materials. The remote detector includes a center beam secured in a pivot mount, at least one collector secured to the center beam at a proximal end via the pivot mount, and an analog matching filter coupled with the center beam via a circuit. The analog matching filter contains a replicate matching material configured to match a dipole field of a target material. In the presence of a target material, the replicate matching material causes displacement of the center beam via a dielectrokinesis (phoresis) force.

Abstract: The dielectrophoretic force caused by the non-uniform electric field squared spatial gradient three-dimensional pattern uniquely exhibited by a predetermined type of inanimate entity can be detected by a locator device. A human operator holds the device in hand to thereby electrically and dielectrically connect the device to the human operator. The human operator's naturally occurring very low electrical decay time constant is increased through electronic circuitry externally connected to the device. The device is held in a balanced nearly horizontal state, and the operator scans the device in a constant speed uniform linear motion back and forth. An antenna extends from the front of the device, and both are acted on by the dielectrophoretic force.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for locating various entities, including animate human beings and animals, as well as inanimate objects, such as, for example, certain types of plastics, observes and detects a force and subsequent resulting torque, acceleration, vibration or other measurable quantifiable manifestation of the force created by the non-uniform three-dimensional electric field spatial gradient pattern exhibited uniquely by the entity or object. Incorporation of laser energy enhances detection. Specifically, the inclusion of laser radiation enhances a dielectrokinetic effect by creating a localized region of significantly higher dielectric constant via absorption of the laser radiation by the air, and other properties which in turn significantly increases the dielectrophoretic force and resulting torque, and lowers the response time by preferentially directionally orienting or channeling the non-uniformity of the electric field line generated by the entity or object target towards the laser beam region.

Abstract: A composition of matter utilizes a pre-polarized (“poled” or previously subjected to a strong DC voltage with or without an external elevated temperature) step converting the matter into an electret state with long-lasting polarization (weeks/months/years) or into a ferroelectric state with permanent polarization. The dielectric replicate matching reference material is used to make a detection device component that triggers and maximizes, when the poled, pre-polarized material/component is subject to externally initiated spinning (set in rotary motion by the detection device's human operator), a dielectrokinesis (phoresis)-like phenomena (force, torque) in exactly the opposite manifestation of the operative mode of dielectrokinesis (phoresis) compared to that which occurs when the component and material are not pre-polarized (poled), both of which can be used to detect the presence of specific entities of a predetermined type that contain as a major component the matching dielectric material.

The human operator's naturally occurring very low electrical decay time constant is increased through electronic circuitry externally connected to the device. The device is held in a balanced horizontal state, and the operator scans the device in a constant uniform motion back and forth. An antenna extends from the front of the device, and both are acted on by the dielectrophoretic force. This force results in a subsequent resulting torque, acceleration, vibration or any other measurable quantifiable manifestation of the force about the handle's pivot line hence driving the device and its antenna toward the direction and position of any entities of the predetermined type that are within range.
