William L. Van Bise has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 4889526
    Abstract: This invention incorporates the discovery of new principles which utilize magnetic and electric fields generated by time varying square wave currents of precise repetition, width, shape and magnitude to move through coils and cutaneously applied conductive electrodes in order to stimulate the nervous system and reduce pain in humans. Timer means, adjustment means, and means to deliver current to the coils and conductive electrodes are described, as well as a theoretical model of the process. The invention incorporates the concept of two cyclic expanding an collapsing magnetic fields which generate precise wave forms in conjunction with each other to create a beat frequency which in turn causes the ion flow in the nervous system of the human body to be efficiency moved along the nerve path where the locus of the pain exists to thereby reduce the pain. The wave forms are create either in one or more coils, one or more pairs of electrodes, or a combination of the two.

  • Patent number: 4724390
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for detecting magnetic and electromagnetic waves or fields through use of non-superconducting materials. The present invention relates to apparatus which are used to measure such fields in order to predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other violent earth movements which generate substantial abberations in magnetic and electromagnetic fields. The present invention can be used to detect any fluctuating magnetic or electromagnetic fields regardless of their origin. The present invention incorporates the use of antennae for the electromagnetic components and coils to detect magnetic fields, in conjunction with electronic elements involving amplification, smoothing elements, frequency response networks, networks to make frequency response uniform within the band and notch filters where necessary.

  • Patent number: 4723536
    Abstract: This invention incorporates the discovery of new principles which utilizes magnetic fluxes generated by time varying square wave currents of precise repetition, width, shape and magnitude to cause them to move through multi-turns of conductive material generally in the form of a coil, in order to stimulate the cardiovascular system in humans or animals by directing the fields externally through the chest wall or the skull in order to correct arrhythmias and/or heart blocks. The new method of cardiovascular stimulation evolved from experimental observations of cardiac muscle cells which when separated, oscillate at different frequencies and propagate at different rates at specific sites in and around the heart and a cell oscillating at a higher frequency when touching a cell oscillating at a lower frequency causes the lower oscillating one to speed up and synchronize at the higher rate.
