Abstract

(57) [Summary] A device that provides protection against insect biting without changing the ecological balance, and a module that can take the form of a wristwatch (30) generates oscillations generated at two different frequencies from two human antennas. (6,7) Includes two oscillators that transmit using the oscillators in relation to the skin of the human body. Both oscillations overlap and propagate over the entire surface of the skin in the form of surface waves. Female mosquitoes that suck blood obtain food by sucking blood from the dermis 15 through snouts from living mammals and humans. To perform such an operation, the mosquito touches the surface of the epidermis transmitting the superimposed surface waves. Very sensitive sensory organs distributed on all surfaces of the insect body are concentrated in special places such as tentacles, snouts and feet. Sensory organs respond to superimposed surface waves adapted to their resonant frequency. Oscillations are converted by the sensing cells into a stream of biochemical and mechanical stimuli, which in a suitable manner are passed through the neural tissue to the pharyngeal ganglion (insect brain), which has been divided into three parts. Pointed. Information is transmitted in nervous tissue, and the lower pharyngeal ganglia form nerve nodal points to muscle motor tissue that activates the snout control process. The mosquito's willingness to suck blood is disturbed and the mosquito leaves the skin surface.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Each year, 300 million people are affected in different ways, such as malaria and yellow fever. They belong to the most frequent infectious diseases worldwide and spread again after the initial weakness. Despite all prophylactic vaccines, as many as 20 million people die each year. Such so-called vector-borne diseases are transmitted to humans and mammals by chewing female mosquitoes, and malaria is caused by Anopheles.
Yellow fever is transmitted by Aedes aegypti. These two
Two diseases are only prevalent in tropical areas.

[0002] The UN International Insurance Organization anticipated that in 1951 these fever diseases could be overcome in a short time, thanks to the new drug and the insecticide DDT. However, the number of cases of these diseases soon increased dramatically. Malaria and yellow fever viruses have become highly resistant to antibiotics. Some are aware of 27 anopheles species, half of which are sources of dangerous malaria transmission, and they are immune to new insecticides. Of these, Anopheles gambi
ae) threatens more than 90% of man-made in tropical Africa. In addition, the source mosquitoes are spreading due to climate change. Millions of people on our planet are left unprotected against such life-threatening diseases. The fight against the epidemic of these human epidemics is even more urgent. Almost everyone is at risk of transmission by mosquitoes due to today's worldwide travel.

[0003] Electromagnetic wave devices are positioned to fight mosquitoes, but large irradiation intensities that are several times the allowable irradiation load on the human and animal body cause significant effects on human and animal organs. Air ultrasound systems have reported far from successful in fighting mosquitoes in rooms. Physically, these devices are not suitable for use in the open air, as air ultrasound transmits as indicated in a completely windless and quiet atmosphere. Protecting human beings from mosquitoes in the field using ultrasound requires absolute silence, and humans must not move, as moving them causes air movement. And the audio output is dramatically increased. It is believed that the increased sound pressure (the intensity of the emitted sound) causes various reactions in the human body, including headaches and diseases.

The inventor has already applied for a patent for an air ultrasonic device for fighting and disturbing mosquitoes in 1975, and also applied for a microwave device for a similar application in 1977. After that, we have not proceeded.

Devices that generate more audible sounds to keep mosquitoes away from humans are best suited as sleep disrupting devices, which attract male mosquitoes with sensing organs that detect the flying sounds of female mosquitoes. Enables you to have a chance. Need a blood meal,
Female mosquitoes sucking this by snout from the epidermis of humans or animals do not receive any acoustic signals.

It is an object of the present invention to provide protection from insect bites and to prevent the spread of infectious diseases without altering ecological balance.

[0007] This object of the invention is clarified by the features specified in claim 1.

The device according to the invention comprises two oscillators 2 for generating oscillations at different frequencies,
3 and the linear amplification stages 4, 5 connected thereto. As shown in FIG. 7, the conversion function is performed by an oscillator that converts the oscillation on the surface of a human or animal epidermis having a length of 5 mm, a width of 10 mm, and a thickness of 0.3 mm in a single-sided gold-plated epoxy plastic plate in the sample, This superimposes the two separate oscillations. After conversion of the superimposed surface wave, it propagates over the entire surface of the epidermis 14, whereby the dermis 15 and the endothelium 16, through which blood circulates, and their cell tissues act as a potential grounding mat 17. The applied oscillating frequency has low absorption in the biologically constituted skin, so that the energy is not converted to heat but can be transmitted.

The oscillation intensity in the sample is kept small at 1.2 KHz and 64.0 KHz and is less than the maximum allowable dose on the human body surface of 1 mW / cm ² which is 10 times that given to a baby of standard size and weight. Is also reduced.

[0010] The female mosquito 18 sucking blood is a dermis 15 that carries blood from living animals and humans.
Get food by sucking blood from their snout. In order to perform such an operation, the mosquito contacts the surface of the epidermis 14 which propagates the superimposed surface wave 13. Very sensitive sensory organs 19 distributed on the whole surface of the insect body are concentrated in special places such as tentacles, mouth parts and feet, and the sensory organs are adapted to their resonance frequency It reacts to the superimposed surface wave 13. Oscillations are converted by the sensing cells into a stream of biochemical and mechanical stimuli. Then, the pharyngeal ganglion 25 (brain) divided into three parts via the nerve tissue 24 is appropriately supplied. Via explication neural tissue 26 and neural nodal points 27, the obtained information is sent to muscle motor tissue 28 which teaches others to the rostral control process. Mosquitoes get off the skin surface because of their willingness to suck blood.

In order to mount the human body antenna on the surface of the skin 14 with high reliability, the module 1 is placed in a base 31 of a wristwatch 34. In order to have an operating voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.6 V at a low current of 1.2 mA to 3.6 mA, the module is supplied with an operating voltage generated by a wristwatch battery 33 by two contact springs 32. Is also good. See FIG. 1 and FIG.

In the case of a mechanical wristwatch without a battery supply, the module has an integrated battery 8
Supplies the operating voltage. The modules can be integrated in the form of jewelry to be worn on the arm, necklace pendants as shown in FIG. 3, or jewelry directly attached to the human body, such as earrings as shown in FIG. Are designed as human body antennas 6 and 7. The module 1 can be configured flat and include integrated cells 8 or solar cells 9 for charging a charge capacitor, which are fitted with solar cells during the day to maintain continuous 24 hour operation . See FIG.

In addition, instead of a battery, a small motion generator coupled via a battery 8 or a charge capacitor supplies the required operating voltage to the module. See FIG.

When the module 1 is designed as an earring, the lower side of the clip constitutes the human body antennas 6, 7. See FIG. This application is suitable for mammals. A current supply is generated from an integrated battery 8 charged by a solar cell 9. For larger mammalian and free-living animal species, the device is designed as a firing cell that is driven by an air rifle. The internal battery supplies the required supply voltage for the module over four years.
