Title: Method and apparatus for facilitating physiological coherence and autonomic balance
Inventor: CHILDRE DOC L
IPC: A61B5/024
Filed: 2000-03-01
Abstract: The invention is a method, and apparatus for determining the state of entrainment between biological systems which exhibit oscillatory behavior such as heart rhythms, respiration, blood pressure waves, low frequency brain waves, based on a de-termination of heart rate variability (HRV), and an evaluation of the power spectrum thereof. Entrainment reflects a harmonious balance between the two branches of the autonomous nervous system within the body. This internal state of heightened physiologi-cal efficiency enhances health, and promotes optimal performance. According to one embodiment, a method is used to determine the entrainment level based on an entrainment parameter related to HRV. The method first determines the power distribution spectrum (PSD), and then calculates an entrainment parameter (EP), which is a measure of the power distribution in the HRV spectrum. In one embodiment, an apparatus (12) is provided for monitoring the heart beat, and presenting this information via a personal computer (14), handheld device, or other processing means.

Abstract: Disclosed is a heating system or microwave processing system for a material or an object, comprising an applicator or oven (5) which is fed by two separate magnetrons (11, 12). The magnetrons are mounted on the combined branches (3, 4) of a magic T-coupler or directional coupler, forming a ring. The other combined branches (1, 2) irradiate the material (10). Impedance adapters (8,9) are disposed in the branches (3,4) and/or in front of the magnetrons (11, 12) for decoupling the operation of the magnetrons and transmission of the full amount of power emitted by the magnetrons to the material or object. According to the method described, it is possible to obtain a constant, homogeneous, maximum distribution on the object or material, or inversely, a distribution which is modulated according to the material or object, i.e. a maximum amount of central distribution and less distribution on the surface, by adjusting the impedance adapters with the aid of dual balanced mixers, for example.
