Abstract:
A molecular absorption resonance system for the detection and selective destruction of unwanted molecules and cells comprising, in combination;a frequency determining apparatus adapted to determine the resonant frequency associated with a desired specimen from the unwanted molecules and cells, such frequency determining apparatus including a specimen holder covered by a pair of low loss dielectric sheets including an upper sheet in a plane above the specimen and a lower sheet in a plane below the specimen, such frequency determining apparatus also including a focused beam illumination antenna positioned above the specimen and the upper dielectric sheet, the focused beam illumination antenna having an automatic frequency tuning microwave generator adapted to produce a range of waves to radiate the sample and with a first display mechanism coupled to the generator to show the frequencies being transmitted, the frequency determining apparatus also including a receiving antenna positioned below the specimen and lower dielectric sheet adapted to capture the transmitted signal after passing through the specimen with a receiver coupled to the receiving antenna and with a second display mechanism coupled to the receiver and also coupled to the first display mechanism and microwave generator to show the frequencies of the specimens being absorbed, the frequency determining apparatus also including a temperature sensor in proximity to the specimen and coupled to the first display mechanism for additional measurement of resonance absorption frequencies; a tunable frequency generating source having a control mechanism from the field of frequency controllers including but not limited to frequency meters and phase locking crystal controlled references, the tunable frequency generator adapted to create a suitable signal with an appropriate frequency to destroy unwanted molecules and cells corresponding to the specimen, such appropriate frequency being determined by the detected and determined resonant frequency found by the frequency determining apparatus; and an output device including a metal central conductor with a plurality of sheaths surrounding the conductor, including an added conventional smooth sleeve welded to the outer conductor braid with the output device further including an applicator having a penetrating tip welded to the center conductor, exposure of the smooth sleeve conductor and center conductor tip being correlated with a quarter wave length, with a tapered dielectric partially concealing the exposed conductor for facilitating the immersion of the conductor in situ, the exposed conductor being shaped with a point to facilitate the process, the output further including a treatment applicator being formed from a specialized dielectric, and an electrical line coupling the output device and the tunable frequency generating source.
