| 20090132015 | Method and System for Using Directional Antennas in Medical Treatments - A method and system uses heat generated by radio frequency (RF) signals induced hyperthermia to destroy abnormal cells that cause diseases. A patient's body is not invaded with any substance or equipment. This invention incorporates a physical phenomenon that occurs when RF signals are added. When the amplitudes of RF signals are added there is a marked increase in the amplitude of the resulting signal. The physics of RF signals causes the intensity of the resulting signal to quadruple. Heat is generated as a result of intensity. In the present invention, RF signals from multiple directional antennas are added at a target location. At this location, preferably the amplitudes of the RF signals that are in phase. When this occurs, the intensity at that target location dramatically increases thereby the heat at that point dramatically increases. The intense heat at the target location destroys the cells at the target location. However, the amplitudes of the RF signals are only added at the target location. As a result, the increased intensity and intense heat only occur at that target location. Therefore, the RF signals do not affect the body at any other location. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20090132015 | Method and System for Using Directional Antennas in Medical Treatments - A method and system uses heat generated by radio frequency (RF) signals induced hyperthermia to destroy abnormal cells that cause diseases. A patient's body is not invaded with any substance or equipment. This invention incorporates a physical phenomenon that occurs when RF signals are added. When the amplitudes of RF signals are added there is a marked increase in the amplitude of the resulting signal. The physics of RF signals causes the intensity of the resulting signal to quadruple. Heat is generated as a result of intensity. In the present invention, RF signals from multiple directional antennas are added at a target location. At this location, preferably the amplitudes of the RF signals that are in phase. When this occurs, the intensity at that target location dramatically increases thereby the heat at that point dramatically increases. The intense heat at the target location destroys the cells at the target location. However, the amplitudes of the RF signals are only added at the target location. As a result, the increased intensity and intense heat only occur at that target location. Therefore, the RF signals do not affect the body at any other location. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20090095398 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR APPLYING LABELS TO ARMORED CABLE AND THE LIKE - Flexible indicia bearing labels are placed on armored electrical cable at spaced apart intervals while the cable is being moving continuously from an armoring station to a takeup reel or accumulator. A label dispenser places labels in a U shaped recess of a body which is moveable toward engagement with the cable. Opposed rollers fold one edge of the label over into engagement with the surface of the cable and the other edge of the label over onto itself in overlapping relationship. The cable is passed through a heat tunnel to shrink the labels into tight engagement with the cable.

| 20120203054 | Method and Apparatus for Determining the Proximity of a TMS Coil to a Subject's Head - A proximity sensor for a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) system detects the proximity of a TMS coil assembly to a position at which the coil is to receive pulses during TMS treatment and provides feedback to the operator so that the operator may adjust the TMS coil assembly to maintain optimal positioning during treatment. A flexible substrate containing a sensor or sensor array is disposed between the TMS coil assembly and the position such that the coupling of the TMS coil assembly to the position may be detected by the sensor(s). Sensor outputs are processed by signal processing circuitry to provide an indication of whether the TMS coil assembly is properly disposed with respect to the position during TMS treatment. A display provides an indication of how to adjust the TMS coil assembly to improve the positioning of the TMS coil assembly. | 08-09-2012 |
