Description

Compatibility detector

The invention relates to a detection device for the compatibility of medicines, cosmetics, food, luxury foods, clothing, detergents, etc., whereby the electromagnetic radiation of the molecular vibrations known from spectroscopy at room temperature comes into play. The invention also relates to the use of the detection device for the determination of intolerances.

It is known that many people cannot tolerate certain environmental toxins, as well as certain synthetic fibers on their skin. This usually only becomes apparent some time after ingestion or wearing the substance, namely through illnesses including allergies.

Physiological compatibility tests are well known, e.g. applied kinesiology (muscle function test; J. Diamond: The body does not lie, Publisher for Applied Kinesiology, Freiburg i.Br.). The test person touches the substrate to be tested and an assistant measures the tester's muscle strength, e.g. on the deltoid muscle of the arm that is not touching the substrate. If there is intolerance, the muscle strength collapses. Other tests in medicine (e.g.

Compatibility tests used in drug testing are electroacupuncture diagnosis and the so-called Nogie reflex of the capillary pulse, also called RAC and VAS = vascular arterial signal (P. Nogier and B. Bricot: The RAC registration, Deut.Z.f. Akupunktur 5., 129-130, 1978).

In this case, an assistant (usually the doctor) is necessary. A bilateral capillary pulse test is also known. The appendix shows the pulse of a test subject recorded with a recorder on the left and right middle fingertips, which, if you look closely, is phase-shifted between the two halves of the body (the recorder advances 2 mm/sec, the upper curve is the left finger, the lower curve is the right finger).

Tests by the applicant have shown that touching a substrate with a hand causes a short-term phase shift or time shift between the left and right pulses if the substrate is poorly tolerated.

Battery-operated pulse measuring devices are also well known, which work either with electrodes or optically with light-emitting diodes and photodetectors and have been on the market for years. These devices measure the pulse on a fingertip or on the earlobe. They are manufactured in the Far East and in Russia (supplier e.g. Bühler Elektronik GmbH, 76481 Baden-Baden).

The invention presented here has the task of exploiting the previously unused phase jump between the left and right pulse in order to build a compatibility detector that does not require an assistant.

The task is solved in such a way that the left and right arm or the left and right hand or also the

The pulse is measured on both earlobes using known optical or electrical methods and both signals are measured in terms of their time interval using known conventional electronics. Battery-operated versions are usually used.

So that the tester has his hands free, it is preferably suggested that the pulse measurement be carried out on the wrists in the form of inconspicuous bracelets, which can also be worn as a piece of jewelry for women. In order to avoid an electrical wire connection between the two pulse meters, the invention further proposes that one pulse meter be equipped with a small, short-range transmitter and the other with a receiver and the evaluation electronics, which can be designed in the form of a wristwatch. Combination watches for time and pulse measurement are already on the market and are sold, for example, by the above-mentioned company Bühler Elektronik GmbH. However, a fingertip of the other hand must be placed on the wristwatch case, which itself does not record a pulse measurement from the side wearing the watch.

Alternatively and more inexpensively, both earlobes can be used to measure the pulse and instead of the transmitter-receiver path, an inconspicuous wire connection between the pulse monitors can be used. For women, this version can be made as jewelry (earrings). In this case, the display can preferably be acoustic. In the other case (pulse measurement on the wrists), each

known display is possible (light-emitting diodes, measuring instrument, liquid crystal display, acoustic piezo display, etc.). For example, in the event of incompatibility, i.e. a brief phase jump between the left and right pulse, a tone can be emitted or a red light-emitting diode can light up. The signal processing is done using conventional electronics.

The subject of the invention is the bilateral pulse measurement in combination with processing of the time difference between the two pulses and their display, the use of transmitter and receiver to avoid a cable between the two pulse monitors and the possibility of designing the arrangement as a piece of jewelry, as well as the application of the arrangement for compatibility testing.

The advantages of the invention are the problem-free and unobtrusive application of the compatibility test without an assistant and the small battery-operated design.
