                        REVIEW OF PATENT # 4,889,526

                      "NON-INVASIVE METHOD AND APPARATUS
          FOR MODULATING BRAIN SIGNALS THROUGH AN EXTERNAL MAGNETIC
                        ELECTRIC FIELD TO REDUCE PAIN"

                                by Judy Wall

         This patent was granted December 26, 1989 to Elizabeth A.
    Rauscher and William L. Van Bise, both of San Leandro
    California; assignee MegTech Laboratories, Inc., Reno, Nevada.

         Michael Hutchinson's Megabrain Report, Vol. 1, #4, published
    a few  years ago, gives this background information on the
    inventors:

         "Elizabeth Rauscher and Bill Van Bise are two of the leading
    investigators of the effects of electromagnetism on biological
    systems. They are currently engaged in clinical tests of a
    device they have developed that uses pulsed electromagnetic
    signals at specific frequency combinations for the treatment of
    cardiac problems and pain.

         "Elizabeth Rauscher earned her B.A. in physics and
    chemistry, a Masters in nuclear engineering and a Ph.D. in
    nuclear science from Berkeley. She spent 19 years with Lawrence
    Berkeley Laboratory, three of them in a theoretical physics
    group at Lawrence Livermore Labs. She has served as a consultant
    with SRI International, NASA, and the Navy. For many years she
    has had a special interest in quantum electronics, the
    biological effects of electromagnetics, and natural sources of
    low-frequency, long wavelength magnetic field emissions from the
    earth. She has published influential papers in nuclear physics,
    astrophysics, and fusion research. She is presently engaged
    full time with the medical research project that involves the
    use of electromagnetic frequencies.

         "Bill Van Bise is an electrical engineer who served as
    consultant to broadcast companies throughout the U.S. He was
    instructor at the University of Oregon Health Sciences
    University Medical School. During the 1970s he was a consultant
    to the Oregon State Health division Radiation Section. He teamed
    up with Elizabeth Rauscher in 1984 when they began their current
    research and development in the area of electromagnetism and
    biological systems."

         The ABSTRACT for the invention reads:

         "The invention incorporates the discovery of new principles
    which utilize magnetic and electric fields generated by time
    varying square wave currents of precise repetition, with shape
    and magnitude to move through coils and cutaneously applied
    conductive electrodes in order to stimulate the nervous system
    and reduce pain in humans. Timer means, adjustment means, and
    means to deliver current to the coils and conductive electrodes
    are described, as well as a theoretical model of the process.
    The invention incorporates the concept of two cyclic expanding
    and collapsing magnetic fields which generate precise wave
    conjunction with each other to create a beat frequency which in
    turn causes the ion flow in the nervous system of the human body
    to be efficiently moved along the nerve path where the locus of
    the pain exists to thereby reduce the pain. The wave forms are
    created either in one or more coils, one or more pairs of
    electrodes, or a combination of the two."

         The patent is long, 30 pages, 7 in the introduction with
    diagrams, the rest divided into about equal parts of discussion,
    mathematical equations, and practical application.

         The discussion presents the most complete summary in single
    article of the interaction of biological materials and
    electromagnetic fields that I have seen. These are the
    highlights of the presentation:

         "The inventors have discovered that the beginning of the
    normal cardiac cycle and response to pain cycle originates in
    the mid-brain and the hypothalamus with excitation of the
    Purkinje cells and is oscillatorily propagated to the heart or
    source of pain, respectively."

         In the first embodiment of the invention, the authors employ
    an external magnetic field generating device that produces an
    expanding and collapsing magnetic field in the form of a square
    wave, frequency from 7.15 to 7.78 Hertz. This magnetic square
    wave triggers the PQRSTU wave form characteristic of an
    electrocardiogram. It is not necessary to mimic the wave.

         In the second embodiment, two frequencies of magnetic field
    impulses are generated, differing by a factor of ten,
    specifically 7.6 and 76 Hertz. The frequencies are mixed to
    counteract pain.

         "This invention incorporates the discovery of new principles
    involving both linear and non-linear properties of biologic
    material and inorganic semiconduction systems. By generating
    certain energies at a distance from, as well as in the proximity
    of, these materials or systems and at the same time optimally
    detecting their changes and emissions, unique new
    characteristics can be elicited and observed. Biologic as well
    as inorganic systems, when excited by external energies of
    specific, mixed, or varying in a narrow range of frequencies,
    polarizations, wave forms and intensities, will have their own
    characteristics changed and in turn will change the
    characteristic of the energies impinging upon the system. Thus
    a characteristic transmitted energy impinging upon or travelling
    through a given self-resonant system will stimulate the system to
    respond with a transmission of its own which is different from
    its transmission characteristic when undisturbed by the impinging
    energy. These two separate characteristic energies will interact
    synergistically producing not only greater effects at the
    disturbed local material sites, but also will produce non-local
    effects at other sites. The interaction of emitted energies from
    artificial sources and biological systems, if both are
    characteristically self resonant at some compatible fundamental
    or harmonic frequency, results in the formation of an
    informational channel between the source and the system. The
    channel frequency is able to modulate the interacting systems
    with diode-like forward-reverse voltage fluctuation. The channel
    is therefore a system frequency modulator."

         The patent goes on to discuss the informational channel
    bandwidths, which are narrow with high "Q"s. There are at least
    three informational channels for humans. The cardiovascular
    system has a band width of approximately 30.4 Hertz with a
    frequency swing of plus of minus 15.2  Hertz, and the Bessel null
    at about 7.6 Hertz. The nervous system has an informational band
    width of 304 Hertz with frequency swing plus or minus 152 Hertz,
    first Bessel component at 23 Hertz "which represents a mix of 7.6
    and 76 Hertz generated signals." The brain informational channel
    band width is 3040 Hertz with frequency swing plus or minus 1520
    Hertz, "and a more complex mix of frequencies peaking between 70
    and 123 Hertz."

         The informational channel bandwidths of the above three
    systems increases by a factor of ten. "It is a well known
    engineering fact that in order for signals of given frequencies
    to be faithfully detected and reproduced that the receiving
    channel must have a band width at least ten times the frequency
    of the highest emitted frequency which must be processed...Narrow
    band FM is therefore the logical choice which Nature evidently
    selected."

         "...the present invention relates to non invasive devices
    which emit magnetic pulses that can penetrate through and
    interact with biological materials and potentially all systems
    of the body in what is known as the ELF/VLF frequency range.
    These devices operate at low intensities, and except for the
    noted exceptions, without direct contact with the material
    affected. Through this effect, the present invention can enhance
    the ability of biologic systems toward a state of improved
    function in many areas of organic dysfunction."

         Later in the patent, it is stated, "The Soliton model of
    biological signalling becomes useful in describing the various
    conditions of bioelectromagnetic processing...Disruption or
    enhancement occurs because external signals transduced by the
    nonlinearities of the tissue form into Soliton-like waves. The
    waves, then, can modify and recohere processes which are too
    dispersive and hence reinforce normal neuronal or other signal
    paths. On the other hand, these waves, at other frequencies,
    wave forms, and intensities can increase dispersion and hence
    introduce disruption and biological damage in the system."

         There are 13 diagrams in this patent. The schematics
    included were sort of "generic" in that they did not have
    specific numerical values assigned to the components. I asked
    Chuck Allen of Tampa Bay Mensa if he could remedy this situation
    which he did very nicely in the two included diagrams. Note,
    the numbers in parentheses refer to the numbers on the original
    diagrams.

         By the way, Chuck tells me that there is no transmitter in
    this schematic; the desired effect is achieved by close
    proximity magnetic induction between the subject and apparatus.
