Abstract:
A method for implementing a low-frequency rotating constant high magnetic field is disclosed. The method includes disposing an even number of more than two high field magnets, and disposing a magnetically permeable rotating arm. The high field magnets are symmetrically and fixedly mounted on the same surface of the magnetically permeable rotating arm. Magnetic poles of free surfaces of two symmetrical high field magnets are opposite. The area of the free surface of the high field magnet is larger than that of a connecting surface. A cross section of the high field magnet is in a geometric shape without edges or corners. A rotating apparatus drives the magnetically permeable rotating arm and the high field magnets to rotate.
Abstract:
Magnetically responsive therapeutic carriers comprise nanoparticles including single-domain nanoparticles comprising magnetite and having an average particle size ranging between 1 and 50 nanometers, clusters of the single-domain nanoparticles, the clusters having an average cluster size ranging between 5 and 1000 nanometers, and mixtures of the two. The single-domain nanoparticles are encapsulated with a silica coating. A silane coupling agent is bonded to the silica coating and has a specific pendant functional group capable of selectively binding with the therapeutic. Preferably, the bond between the specific pendant functional group and the therapeutic is a covalent bond. The movement of magnetically responsive nanoparticle therapeutic constructs, with concentration and extravasation/endocytosis at a target site, such as cancerous tumors, uses a controllable magnetic field generator adapted to move the therapeutic constructs in three dimensions, and is enhanced using a repetitively-varying magnetic field. A method for treating cancer comprises administering and magnetically guiding a therapeutic construct comprising paclitaxel.

Abstract:
A device for detecting and influencing the physiological and/or pathological state of the human or animal body, including a housing which has a first housing wall that, in turn, has an outer surface provided for placing against a body to be treated. A rotor is situated inside the housing and is rotationally driven about an axis that is essentially perpendicular to the first housing wall. First magnets are mounted on the rotor, and their magnetic fields are oriented in the same direction that is parallel to the rotation axis. At least one additional magnet is situated essentially coaxial to the rotation axis with a polarity of each being oriented in an opposite direction to the first magnets.

Abstract:
A device for applying a time-varying magnetic field to a human or animal body for therapeutic purposes comprising a magnetic body (72), housed in a free moving member (80), which is it-self housed within the device. The device is powered by a small electric motor that drives the free moving member (80) and magnetic body (72) to rotate about an axis of first rotation. The magnetic body is further caused to rotate around an axis of second rotation through angular forces imparted on it either mechanically or magnetically. Mechanical angular force is imparted by a gear and tooth arrangement or other similar tactile interaction with a roller member (106). Magnetic angular force is imparted by stationary magnets (110) as the magnetic body (72) rotates past them. The two rotational movements of the magnetic body (72) are oblique to one another and produce both a time-varying field of magnetic flux density and a time varying field of angular flux displacement.
Abstract:
A magnetic resonator is provided which has a support structure and a plurality of roller assemblies mounted thereto for rotation about respective axes of rotation which are generally parallel one to another. Drive means are coupled to the roller assemblies to rotate each of the roller assemblies about its respective axis of rotation relative to the support structure. Each roller assembly houses a plurality of magnets disposed along respective axes of the roller assemblies. The plurality of magnets are grouped in a plurality of first and second arrangements with a first arrangement being interspersed between a pair of second arrangements. At least one of the first and second arrangements incorporates a pattern or shape based on sacred geometry.
