Method of Producing Locally Occurring Infrasound
Patent Number: 3612211
Issue Date: October 12, 1971
Patent holder: Clark, III; William T. (New Orleans, LA)
http://tinyurl.com/q6kcs
The object of this invention is to provide a method and apparatus for producing infrasound
utilizing two highly directional acoustical wave sources propagating intersecting beams of
sound waves at a frequency which maybe in the audible range or above, and which waves in
and of
themselves, because of their frequencies which are higher than infrasound, do not have the
same physiological or neurophysiological effects on a subject in their individual paths but
which, in
their areas of intersection, combine or beat against one another to produce resultant waves in the
infrasonic range. A further object is to provide a system for producing infrasound, but
utilizing extremely small sources for the infrasound energy, as compared with previously
available
sources.

Patent Number: 3951134
Filing date: Aug 5, 1974
Issue date: Apr 20, 1976
Inventors: Malech; Robert G. (Plainview, NY)
Assignee: Dorne & Margolin Inc. (Bohemia, NY)
ABSTRACT: Apparatus for and method of sensing brainwaves at a position remote from a
subject whereby electromagnetic signals of different frequencies are simultaneously
transmitted to the brain of the subject in which the signals interfere with one another to yield a
waveform
which is modulated by the subject's brainwaves. The interference waveform which is
representative of the brain wave activity is re-transmitted by the brain to a receiver where it is
demodulated and amplified. The demodulated waveform is then displayed for visual viewing
and routed to a computer for further processing and analysis. The demodulated waveform also
can be used to produce a compensating signal which is transmitted back to the brain to effect a
desired change in electrical activity therein.

Subliminal Acoustic Manipulation of Nervous Systems
Patent Number: 6017302
Date Issued: January 25, 2000
Inventors: Loos; Hendricus G. (Laguna Beach, CA)
http://tinyurl.com/otbfn
ABSTRACT: In human subjects, sensory resonances can be excited by subliminal atmospheric
acoustic pulses that are tuned to the resonance frequency. The 1/2 Hz sensory resonance
affects the autonomic nervous system and may cause relaxation, drowsiness, or sexual
excitement,
depending on the precise acoustic frequency near 1/2 Hz used. The effects of the 2.5 Hz
resonance include slowing of certain cortical processes, sleepiness, and disorientation. For
these effects to occur, the acoustic intensity must lie in a certain deeply subliminal range.
Suitable
apparatus consists of a portable battery-powered source of weak subaudio acoustic radiation.
The method and apparatus can be used by the general public as an aid to relaxation, sleep, or
sexual
arousal, and clinically for the control and perhaps treatment of insomnia, tremors, epileptic
seizures, and anxiety disorders. There is further application as anonlethal weapon that can
be used in law enforcement standoff situations, for causing drowsiness and disorientation in
targeted subjects. It is then preferable to use venting acoustic monopoles in the form of a
device that inhales and exhales air with subaudio frequency.
Method and Device for Implementing The Radio Frequency Hearing Effect
Patent Number: 6470214
Filing Date: December 13, 1996
Issue Date: October 22, 2002
Inventor: O'Loughlin, et al.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the modulating of signals on carriers, which are transmitted and the
signals intelligibly recovered, and more particularly, to the modulation of speech on a carrier
and the intelligible recover of the speech by means ofthe Radio Frequency Hearing Effect.
The Radio Frequency ("RF") Hearing Effect was first noticed during World War II as a
subjective "click" produced by apulsed radar signal when the transmitted power is above
a "threshold" level. Below the threshold level, the click cannot beheard.
The discovery of the Radio Frequency Hearing Effect suggested that a pulsed RF carrier
could be encoded with an amplitude modulated ("AM") envelope. In one approach to pulsed
carrier
modulation, it was assumed that the "click" of the pulsedcarrier was similar to a data sample
and could be used to synthesize both simple and complex tones such as speech. Although
pulsed
carrier modulation can induce a subjective sensation for simple tones, it severely distorts
the complex waveforms ofspeech, as has been confirmed experimentally.
The presence of this kind of distortion has prevented the click process for the encoding
of intelligible speech. An example is provided by AM sampled data modulation.
Upon demodulation the perceived speech signal has some of the envelope characteristics of an
audio signal. Consequently a message can be recognized as speech when a listener is
preadvised that speech has been sent. However, if the listener doesnot know the content of the
message, the audio signal is unintelligible.
The attempt to use the click process to encode speech has been based on the assumption that
if simple tones can be encoded, speech can be encoded as well, but this is not so.
A simple tone can contain several distortions and still be perceived as atone whereas the
same degree of distortion applied to speech renders it unintelligible.

n The microchip can be used to locate missing or abducted persons, “runaways (missing
person classifications used by the U. S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention),
. . . incarcerated individuals, military personnel,” etc.
n The microchip is composed of “biocompatible” materials and can be implanted in “any
limb, the torso, including back and perineum (the small triangular area of one’sbody that
includes the anus and the vulva or the base of the penis), the neck, and the head.”
Interestingly, the microchip can also be implanted in any “naturally occurring orifice,” such as
the anus, the urethra, and the uterus. [The ear and nose were not mentioned but they are also
“naturally
occurring orifices.”]
n Each microchip “has either an internal or external power source.” Those power sources
can be “a rechargeable battery, an inductive charging system for charging the battery [by
remote], a mechanical or heat sensitive voltage generator,“ etc. Each microchip also has an
“individual
identifier (similar to that of cellular telephones . . . .),” with each microchip HAVING
AN INDIVIDUAL TELEPHONE NUMBER.
n The microchip lies passive, or dormant, in the body until it receives an action signal, such
as
a telephone call, by the “system provider,” in other words, the controller of the device. The
chip can also remain continually active.
