Definitions
- the present invention is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Patent Application No. 08/758,248 to Afilani filed on November 27, 1996, the disclosure in which is incorporated herein by reference and is attached hereto as Appendix A.
- the present invention is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Application No. 08/840,069, to Afilani, filed on April 24, 1997, the disclosure in which is also incorporated herein by reference and is attached hereto as Appendix B.
- the present invention relates to methods and apparatus for locating various entities by detecting dielectrokinesis response in the entity.
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting and metering current indicators of the dielectrokinesis response.
- circuitry shown in, for example, Figure 5 of U.S. Application No. 08/758,248 includes an antenna 102 upon which the forces associated with dielectrokinesis effects act.
- the antenna 102 is connected to an optimal low pass filter FI, which outputs to a current detection device (in Figure 5 shown as JFETs Jl, J2, and J3).
- a current detection device in Figure 5 shown as JFETs Jl, J2, and J3.
- JFETs Jl, J2, and J3 After the current detection JFETs, the current continues into a current meter, Ml, and an optional piezo buzzer PI .
- the current detectors (JFETs Jl, J2 and J3), together with the meter Ml and piezo buzzer PI are used to detect the subtle currents on the antenna 102 which are induced by the dielectrokinesis effects.
- the operator employs an antenna to sense the dielectrokinesis effects associated with the presence of an entity to be detected and thereby creates a very low level current in association with that detection.
- the low level current detector in Figure 5 takes the low level current induced on the antenna 102 and passes it through the low pass filter FI and then to the gate of the respective JFETs. If the current exceeds the gate threshold of operation for the respective JFETs, the JFETs open to thereby complete a circuit powered by battery B 1 and including meter Ml and piezo buzzer PI.
- the present invention is a circuit which is designed specifically to improve detection of the low level currents that are induced in the antenna by the dielectrokinesis effects of an unknown entity existing in the vicinity of the antenna.
- the detector described with respect to Appendix A and B includes circuitry which is designed to sense the electric field in the vicinity of the detector caused by dielectrokinesis effects induced by the presence of the unknown entity.
- the detection occurs as a result of the induced current on the antenna 102 exceeding the gate threshold on the JFETs Jl, J2, and J3. Current levels below the threshold will fail detection.
- This method can provide low sensitivity of operation since the operator will receive either a positive indication (via meter movement and piezo buzzing) if the current threshold is exceeded or no indication at all if it is not.
- the present metering circuit operates in conjunction with the antenna, filtering and detector circuit described in Appendix A and B.
- the operator can detect more subtle indications of the presence of an unknown entity.
- the operator sets the detection level to a particular value (preferably a null value) such that changes in the dielectrokinetic effects are more sensitively detected.
- a particular value preferably a null value
- the change in field caused by the dielectrokinesis effect of introducing an unknown entity into the effective range of the antenna 102 causes a +1 micro volt per cm change in ambient conditions
- the change from 20 to 21 on a meter might be indistinguishable to the JFET gates.
- the meter and piezo buzzer would not adequately distinguish between an ambient condition and a changed condition.
- the current detection circuit "zeros" itself at the ambient condition, the change from zero (ambient condition) to +1 micro volt per cm (when the unknown entity is introduced into the effective range of the antenna 102) can be more sensitively identified by the detection circuit and thereby provide a more obvious identification to the operator of the presence of an unknown entity.
- the present invention thus advantageously provides improved sensitivity in detecting the presence of unidentified entities and also provides increased distances of effective operation.
- FIGURE 1 is a circuit diagram of an example embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 5 of Appendix A shows a circuit diagram in which an antenna 102 detects an electric field in the vicinity of the detector and delivers a low value current to a current detector circuit
- the present invention can be substituted into the apparatus described in Appendix A in connection with the same antenna 102 by substituting the circuit of Figure 1 (attached) for the current detection circuit of Figure 5 of Appendix A.
- Figure 1 of the present invention illustrates an example embodiment of the improved current detector circuit 10.
- the circuit 10 is connected to antenna 2 (coinciding with antenna 102 of Figure 5 of Appendix A).
- the antenna 2 provides a low level current as electric fields are brought into effective proximity to it.
- the current detector circuit 10 senses the current provided by antenna 2 and provides an indication of that current to the operator via meter 50, in accordance with the purposes described with respect to U S. Application No. 08/758,248.
- the present current sensor 10 includes a series of amplifiers, beginning with a first operational amplifier 12 connected to a series of amplifier circuits 30, 32, 34, and 36.
- Operational amplifier 12 is preferably a low noise, low frequency precision Op amp that permits very low level input currents (on the pico amp level).
- An example operational amplifier suitable for the present current detector is marketed by Analog Devices of Norwood, Massachusetts under the product no. AD645, a data sheet corresponding to which is attached as Appendix C, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Alternative amplifiers can be used provided they have a voltage noise spectral density curve to operate at a frequency at which the dielectrokinetic effects can be detected with sufficient sensitivity.
- an amplifier with a voltage noise spectral density curve to operate around 18 Hz or less, and preferably around 10 Hz, will suffice.
- Other — and different — operational characteristics may be more appropriate for detection of other types of entities or for detection of alternative physiological characteristics of human entities.
- the frequency of operation for detecting a human depends upon the beat frequency of the heart. Typically, the beat frequency is around 1-2 Hz. By Fourier transforming the beat signal, one finds a fundamental frequency at about 17.5 Hz (hence the ideal operational characteristic of 18 Hz, or less).
- the inverting input of the operational amplifier 12 receives a feedback signal from the output of OP amp 12.
- the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier 12 receives the antenna signal via series capacitor Cl.
- Cl may be chosen based on the specific design constraints of the system used, but may preferably be a metal film capacitor of, for example, 0.47 ⁇ F.
- the output of the operational amplifier 12 is then feed into the inverting input of amplifier 14 within first amplifier stage 30 via the resistor R5.
- Each of the amplifier stages 30, 32, 34, and 36 includes such a resistor (R5, R6, R7, and R8+R9) at the inverting input.
- the output of each of the amplifiers 14, 16, 18, and 20, of respectively, amplifier stages 30, 32, 34, and 36 is fed back to the inverting input of the respective amplifier via the parallel combination of corresponding resistors and capacitors Rl, R2, R3, R4, and C2, C3, C4, and C5.
- coupling capacitor C6 which may be a 2.2. ⁇ F ceramic capacitor connected in series between the amplifier 14 and the second amplifier stage 32.
- the non-inverting inputs of amplifiers 14 and 16 are tied to ground via resistors Rl 1 and R12.
- resistors Rl 1 and R12. For the non-inverting inputs of amplifiers 18 and 20 of amplifier stages 34 and 36, respectively, automatic nulling adjustments are provided.
- the non-inverting input of amplifier 18 is connected to variable resistor R14, which is connected in series to positive voltage (for example, + 9 volts) through resistor R13 and is connected to minus voltage (for example, - 9 volts) through resistor R15.
- the variable resistor R14 makes up a part of the zero offset adjustment circuit 22, which is connected to the non-inverting input of the amplifier 18.
- Zero offset adjustment circuit 22 is provided to permit the operator to adjust the gain of the third stage to accommodate drift that may exist in the high gain amplifier stages.
- resistor R3 may have a value of 100K ohms
- resistor R15 may have a value of 100K ohms
- resistor R14 may have a value of 5K ohms.
- capacitor C9 may have a value of .0.1 ⁇ F and may be a metal film capacitor.
- the fourth amplifier stage 36 includes amplifier 20 and input resistors R8 in series with R9. Resistor R8 is variable and may have a value of 250K ohms, while resistor R9 is fixed at a value of 220 K ohms.
- Resistor R8 is a potentiometer which provides a sensitivity adjustment for the operator.
- adjustment circuit 24 is provided into the non-inverting input of amplifier 20 to provide a center adjustment for the meter being used. This allows the operator to determine whether the presence of an unknown entity causes the metering circuit to build capacitance or to draw capacitance.
- Center adjustment circuit 24 includes variable resistor R16 connected between positive and negative voltage. It may be a 50 K ohm resistor connected in parallel with capacitor CIO which may be a 0.1 microfarad metal film capacitor. Ideally, R16 is adjusted for half scale (i.e., centered on the meter) when no input signal is present.
- the output of the fourth amplifier stage 36 is provided to a resistor R10 which may be 47 K ohms, but will be adjusted depending upon the meter used.
- the output of the resistor R10 is provided to the meter 50 which will identify the presence of current at the antenna 2 to the operator, as amplified by the various amplifier stages discussed previously.
- a very small current is detected in antenna 2 whenever the dielectrokinetic effects cause a change in electric field compared to ambient conditions.
- This current may be in the order of picoamps and is provided through blocking capacitor Cl to the non-inverting input of amplifier 12.
- This amplifier is frequency clipped at 10 Hz which is a preferred frequency at which tests show that the subtle dielectrokinesis effects of the presence of an unidentified entity are seen and coupling between the unidentified entity and the detector is maximized.
- the amplifier 12 increases the signal strength and provides the output to the four amplifier stages 30, 32, 34, and 36. These amplifier stages further boost the signal value such that the meter 50 at the output of the current detector circuit 10 can identify to a high degree of clarity the presence of an unidentified entity, even at larger distances such as, for example, 20 meters or more.
- the circuit 10 will float to ambient electric field conditions such that, after, for example 2 to 3 seconds, the circuit nulls itself at the ambient condition. Thereafter, changes in the electric field caused by the dielectrokinetic effects of introducing another entity in the vicinity of the antenna 2 will be registered by the metering circuit. In this way, any changes to the ambient condition can be detected with greater sensitivity directly on the meter being used, as discussed above.
- the present invention is not limited to the precise circuit shown in Figure 1, but may employ other circuit designs which are low pass and keyed off of a device having a voltage noise spectral density curve to operate around 50 Hz or less, and preferably around 10-18 Hz.
- This allows the circuit 10 to sense a charge on the antenna 2 and use the charge to apply a series of gains for detection by a meter or other suitable device.
- the present invention has many uses and is not necessarily limited to any particular use. The inventors have found that the antenna detector and metering circuit can be used to detect the presence of hidden entities, including humans, animals, polymers, controlled substances, etc. Further applications include the detection of movement (motion detectors) in a defined environment.
- the present circuit will first detect the entity, then (after a few seconds) null itself to the ambient condition. Thereafter, if the entity moves, the meter will register changes in the dielectrokinetic effect in the room caused by the change in physical orientation of the human's heart relative to the detecting antenna 2 (which in turn changes the electric field sensed by the antenna 2).
- the invention can be used to numerically characterize the electric field associated with a human heart muscle and the conductive nerves. This permits the operator to view these electric field characteristics against a norm to provide an indication of health of the heart.
- One possible characteristic (of potentially many different characteristics) that can be detected is the heart rate variability and the synchronization between the sympathetic and parasympathetic rhythms.
- the present invention is more sensitive in detecting heart condition than, for example, prior art ECG tests.
- a further alternative use of the invention is operation in an autonomous mode, without the presence of a "reference entity" (such as a human operator) in contact with the ground plane GPl, as shown in Figure 5 of Appendix A and described at page 12 of Appendix A.
- a reference entity such as a human operator
- the inventors have found that, by choosing the proper operating characteristics of the amplifier 12 (as described above and in the example of Appendix C), the detection and metering circuits will operate without a reference entity in physical connection with the ground plane. This permits the device to operate as a stand-alone device, without the need for a physically present operator.
