FIGS. 37 and 38 discloses a circuit 1104 to illustrate another aspect of the invention. Accordingly, an alternating electric field is provided to a first transmission conductor by a signal generator 1102 and a second transmission conductor is provided by an antenna 1108 (see FIG. 37) or wire 1124 (see FIG. 38) that is connected to a relatively less positive side 1114-1122 within the directional circuit 1110. A difference in DC potential between a relatively more positive side 1112 within the directional circuit, and relatively less positive side 1114-1122 is provided. Another aspect of the invention is sensing proximity with impedance changes within the directional circuits described herein (as it could be with any embodiment disclosed herein) by approaching any of the directional circuits or transmission conductors (also any of which are described herein), for example approaching 1108 (shown in FIG. 37) and/or 1124 (as shown in FIG. 38) with a conductive substance such as a person or metallic material thereby changing the circulation of current flow within the directional circuit by changes in impedance through the capacitance of the conductive substance.
