Abstract: 1393633 Electromagnets; component assemblies G O OKIKIOLU 30 Jan 1973 4713/73 Headings H1P and H1R [Also in Division H3] A system assembly of non-active electronic components for introducing resonance, wave generation, and moving energy field effects in oscillatory and electromagnetic wave fields into which such an assembly is non-connectively introduced; comprises elementary units which are magnetic, electrically conducting, dielectric or transparent to electromagnetic waves and have distinct specific parameters defining their dimensions, permabilities, conductivities, chemical composition or refractive indices; the units being assembled in paired groups having parameters respectively increasing or decreasing stepwise in opposed senses about a position of symmetry to maximum or minimum values and being separated by other material units having distinct dimensions, or physical or chemical compositions, whereby energy impulses of electromagnetic wave fields or electrical or magnetic fields create moving energy field effects within the units of the assembly due to the introduction of the latter into energy fields of the appropriate types and to the concentration of energy impulses in elementary units of the assembly in order of parameter magnitude; so as to induce resonance effects with wave fields at specific frequencies and to superimpose oscillatory impulses at other specific frequencies. In Fig. 1, a periodic structural assembly comprises elementary units of graded parameters separated by other units; a pair of groups of units being arranged in symmetrical opposition as part of an assembly whose parameter variations are determined by cross-sectional thickness of the elementary units; the separating units having themselves constant or periodic thicknesses. Groups 1, 2, 3 of elementary units are symmetrically opposed and separated at la, 2a, 3a. Wave energy source 5 in whose field the system is introduced produces wave super-imposition impulses at detector 6. The elementary graduated components of the structural assembly may alternatively be disposed along the peripheries of coaxial cylindrical shells or as peripheral elements of a ring or torus (Figs. 2a, 2b, not shown). Specifically for the superposition of waveform impulses on oscillatory magnetic fields graduated magnetic units of a periodic structure may be spaced by interleaved separators of non-magnetic material or of differing permeability from the units; alternatively graduated conductive units of periodic structure may be spaced by interleaved separators of materials of differing conductivity therefrom; the periodicity being established by geometrical parameters of area or thickness increasing or decreasing with departure from a line of symmetry. Other parameters of periodicity may be chemical or physical properties, or sonic conductivity. In Fig. 3a, a periodically structured magnetic system of elementary units constitutes the core of a solenoid having coils 8, 8a and is situated in an oscillatory magnetic field on which resonances and waveform impulses are superimposed; the combined waveforms being detected by the parallel connected coils 8, 8a whose combined output is applied to an earphone 12 (Fig. 4) in series with oscillatory source 13. An electrostatic system analogous to the magnetic system utilizes a periodic system of graduated conductive units and partially conductive spacers (Fig. 3b, not shown) in series with a source and an impulse detector; the periodic parameters being conductivity, resistivity or cross-sectional area or elementary thickness. An assembly of electrolytic or dielectric units (Fig. 5) comprises successive electrolytic cells defining a periodic structure by progressive variation of electrolytic concentration or cellular dimension between successive electrodes; the electrodes enclosing symmetrical graduated electrolytic cells in opposed pairs 16, 16a to determine a periodic structure; excited at terminals 9 to introduce an oscillatory energy field whereby the structure imposes resonance effects at specific frequencies, oscillatory waveform, and moving field effects detectable in combination at 9. Alternatively the electrolytic cells are replaceable by dielectric cells graduated by dielectric composition, thickness, or cross-sectional dimensions (Fig. 6, not shown). An assembly of elementary units of periodic structure may comprise materials transparent to electromagnetic wave fields, e.g. light; opposed pairs of elementary units having increasing thicknesses being separated by elements of transparent material with differing refractive indices. The symmetrical elementary units may alternatively have different compositions defining graduated differences of colour transmission, e.g. by mixing blue CuSO 4  solution with green NiSO 4  solution in varying proportions in successive light transmission cells; the assembly being excited from a light source and the emergent light exhibiting waveform superimposition and frequency selective filtering effects being detected at a photocell in circuit with an impulse detector.
