    摘要: A laser beam irradiation device which permits general users to operate it safely by providing a laser beam emitting control circuit with very strict safety measures. For a safe operation, a head unit (H) is projectingly provided on the front surface, and a pressing switch (S4) is attached to the side surface. The head unit (H) comprises a spherical lens (31) fittingly inserted into an opening at the center thereof, and a forward cylinder (32) integrally attached to the outer periphery of the spherical lens (31) so as to come into contact with the skin at the tip end thereof. A cylindrical electrode (33) is buried in the tip end of the forward cylinder (32) so as to project forward at the tip end thereof beyond the opening end surface. A heat sink (34) is provided in the rear of the spherical lens (31), and a semiconductor laser diode (35) is fittingly inserted into the inner portion of a through hole made in the axis of the heat sink. A fan (36) for cooling the heat sink (34) is installed behind it.

    摘要: In certain embodiments, a neural probe comprises a substrate comprising elongated shanks for penetrating neural tissue, each comprising a proximal end and a distal end; at least one optical source integral to the neural probe for illuminating the neural tissue; and microelectrodes located proximate the distal end of the elongated shanks for monitoring neuronal activity. In certain embodiments, a method of monitoring neuronal activity comprises implanting the neural probe into a test subject such that the elongated shanks protrude into neural tissue of the test subject; illuminating the neural tissue with the at least one optical source; and measuring neuronal activity in response to illuminating the neural tissue. In certain embodiments, a device comprises a semiconductor chip; at least one optical source integral to the semiconductor chip; and sensor elements integral to the semiconductor chip for collecting data responsive to light emitted from the at least one optical source.

    摘要: Apparatus for inducing electrically charged alignment changes in biological tissue includes a generally flat translucent cavity containing a volume of gas that includes water vapor, carbon dioxide and other similarly common molecules that is charged along one surface by a sequence of pulses of electrical charge each of a potential sufficient to excite the common molecules to a higher state. The opposite side of the cavity is then conformed for intimate contact with the skin of a person, thus communicating the right hand spin electromagnetic pulses associated with each excitation level change into the tissue. A pulsed coil is then provided in an alignment generally parallel to the plane of the cavity to polarize the clockwise electromagnetic emissions associated with the changes in the excitation states.
