According to an embodiment, the device may include an antenna band part including a first antenna and a second antenna which are provided inside a covering part that is configured to surround a joint and which are configured to generate a micro-magnetic field at the joint in a contactless manner, and may include a control unit configured to generate the micro-magnetic field by forming a high frequency voltage and providing the high frequency voltage to the antenna band part, the control unit being configured to adjust the formed high frequency voltage, on the basis of a sensing value of a micro-electromagnetic field sensed at the second antenna, such that a micro-magnetic field corresponding to a diameter of the joint is provided.
PATHOGEN DESTRUCTION SYSTEM AND METHOD USING MAGNETIC MARKERS
A cell destruction method includes providing an anionic biomarker that comprises a magnetic material such as an iron or an iron compound. The anionic biomarker is introduced into an organism having pathogen cells with a negative charge. The anionic biomarkers are attracted to the negative charges of the pathogen and couple thereto. The anionic biomarker may also have a coupler portion that further aids in the anionic biomarker coupling to and being bound to the pathogen cell and/or cell wall. An electric field may be produced to cause the anionic biomarkers and/or the negative charges of the pathogen cell to polarize on or along the pathogen cell. A magnetic field is directed to cause the anionic biomarker, or magnetic material thereof to move and damage the cell. The magnetic field may be an alternating magnetic field that causes the magnetic material to oscillate and damage the cell wall.
Method and apparatus for measuring and inactivating pathogens using magnetizable devices in a body
An apparatus and method collect and deactivate pathogens (for example, coronaviruses) within a magnetic particle in order to reduce the number of active pathogens in a body.
