Ridiculous you say, but the Patent has a total of 19 claims, which covers just about everything, in order to have to start from scratch and invent a new device if they want to sell a similar device before the Patent’s allowance is terminated. Coincidently Sheela Mohan-Peterson was promoted afterwards.
Some of the invention claims are being proven by their ongoing clinical trials. For example:
-the electric field is maintained substantially within a predetermined range.
-the electric field is maintained to about 1300 V/cm.
-the power supply is configured to reduce the output power in response to a reduced cover area of the electrodes.
-the power supply is configured to increase the output power in response to an increased cover area of the electrodes.
-the power supply is configured to maintain the electric field within a predetermined range so as to prevent damage in the cells within the cover area.
-the power supply is configured to maintain the electrical field within a predetermined range so as to substantially minimize pain.
-the power supply provides a first electrical signal to a first electrode and a second electrical signal to a second electrode, wherein the first and second electrical signals combine to produce a wave having a beat frequency, and wherein the first and second electrical signals each have at least one of a unipolar waveform and a bipolar waveform.
-the first electrical signal has a first frequency and a first amplitude, wherein the second electrical signal has a second frequency and a second amplitude, wherein the first frequency is different from or the same as the second frequency, and wherein the first amplitude is different from or the same as the second amplitude.
-the potentiometer is configured to maintain the electric field to about 1300 V/cm.
-the power supply provides a first electrical signal to a first electrode and a second electrical signal to a second electrode, wherein the first and second electrical signals combine to produce a wave having a beat frequency, and wherein the first and second electrical signals each have at least one of a unipolar waveform and a bipolar waveform.
-the first electrical signal has a first frequency and a first amplitude, wherein the second electrical signal has a second frequency and a second amplitude, wherein the first frequency is different from or the same as the second frequency, and wherein the first amplitude is different from or the same as the second amplitude.
