  • Patent number: 8374690
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for obtaining data relevant to the state of health of an individual by measuring the signal spectra at various points on the individual's body. Illustratively, the measurements are at points on the individual's hand, implemented with a glove that includes numerous electrical point contacts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 10, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 12, 2013
    Assignee: ARI Licensing

  • Publication number: 20120209136
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for obtaining data relevant to the state of health of an individual by measuring the signal spectra at various Jing Luo network termination points on the individual's body. Illustratively, the measurements are at points on the individual's hand, implemented with a glove that includes numerous electrical point contacts. A healing session ameliorates a malady by identifying the signature of the malady as reflected in a chosen subset of termination point, determining the amount of energy that is necessary to null out the malady's signature, and applying the determined energy to one or more termination points.

  • Publication number: 20060268679
    Abstract: A network that is architectured to distributively be responsible for remedying failures achieves advantageous operation. This is accomplished by algorithmically and distributively assigning the responsibility for recovery from all failures to different network nodes and by re-routing traffic at the failed point though network elements in close topological proximity to the failed point. Each node maintains an awareness of the spare resources in its neighborhood and pre-plans re-route plans for each of the failures for which it is responsible. It maintains the created re-route plans and, upon detection of a failure, transmits a re-route plan to particular nodes that participate in the re-routing recovery planned for such a failure. Alternatively, it transmits re-route plans to the nodes that need them, and upon detection of a failure, the network node broadcasts an ID of the re-route plan that needs to be executed.
