Abstract: A method for therapeutic treatment of a living subject in a limited physical space, wherein the limited physical space is characterized by a series of symmetry states having a ground symmetry state and at least one higher symmetry state. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of providing an intention imprinted electronic device adapted for a specific condition of the living subject, activating the intention imprinted electronic device in the limited physical space for a period of time so as to transform the limited physical space from the ground symmetry state to a higher symmetry state, and placing the living subject in the limited physical space for a period of time for therapeutic treatment of the specific condition of the living subject.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods for measuring a thermodynamic potential of a limited physical space associated with a change in symmetry, wherein the limited physical space is characterized by a series of symmetry states having a ground symmetry state and at least one higher symmetry state. In one embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the step of transforming the limited physical space from the ground symmetry state to a higher symmetry state to cause the thermodynamic potential of the limited physical space to change from a first value to a second value. In another embodiment, the ground symmetry state is characterized by a U(1) EM Gauge symmetry, the thermodynamic potential &PSgr; is in the form of a proton magnetoelectrochemical potential, and the at least one higher symmetry state is characterized by an SU(2) symmetry.

Abstract: An improved compact transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) is provided. The compact TENS of the present invention may be used as a therapeutic device for the reduction of the symptoms of chronic and acute pain. The TENS device includes a power supply and electronics which are packaged to provide a compact, light-weight device which may be worn for an extended period of time by a patient requiring pain relief. Electronic circuitry in the TENS generates an output signal in the form of a positive spike waveform followed by a negative longer duration, lower voltage, waveform. The TENS output signal includes a broad range of frequency components, extending into the gigahertz range. Signal conditioning potentiometers are provided for adjustment of the maximum TENS output signal amplitude. Multiple output channel operation may be provided.

Abstract: A thin-film solar cell is made up of semiconductor layers formed on an aluminum silicon eutectic alloy substrate. The substrate includes an aluminum oxide insulator containing electrically conducting silicon nucleation sites which is interposed between the electrical contact of the substrate and the adjacent semiconductor. Grain boundaries and voids terminate on the insulator. The solar cell is fabricated by oxidizing the aluminum-silicon substrate to form a layer of aluminum oxide with unactivated silicon site material dispersed therein and activating the silicon nucleation sites during growth of the semiconductor layers.
