Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0033] Further details of the invention can be found in the embodiment examples, which will be described with reference to the Figures. These show:

[0034] FIG. 1: switch with two vivobase elements;

[0035] FIG. 2: switch of a device for protection against electric and/or magnetic fields, in particular electromagnetic fields; and

[0036] FIG. 3: further switch of a device for protection against electric and/or magnetic fields, in particular electromagnetic fields.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0037] Examples of embodiments of the invention will be described hereafter with reference to the enclosed drawings:

[0038] FIG. 2 shows a basic switch 1 of a device (vivobase) for protection against electric and/or magnetic fields, in particular electromagnetic fields. This type of basic switch 1 is for example provided for use in a house (home) or in a company (corporate).

[0039] The switch 1 has four protection elements 3. Each protection element 3 comprises a film capacitor 5 and a diode 7 in this example (these reference numbers are listed only for one protection element for reasons of clarity).

[0040] Switch 1 emits the wave packets of the Vivobase elements protective elements 3 into the environment and the electric field of the power line. The wave packets are similar to the natural AIS.

[0041] In other words: The switch 1 transmits the interference of the diodes 7 as well as the frequency generated by the resonance characteristics of the capacitor 5 and the diode 7 into the electric field. The combination of the signals equals the electrical discharges, as with sferics.

[0042] The basic switch 1 is operated with 230V mains voltage. The voltage is commutated in the function generator 2 and is then re-modulated, so that other frequencies or frequency programs, and also signal forms, can be used. These frequencies and signal forms are then routed to the capacitor/diode combination 3 via an amplification switch.

[0043] Shottky diodes 7 are used parallel to the capacitor 5 in this example; two on the voltage carrying conductor and two on the neutral conductor. A glow lamp with a series resistor can be located between the elements 3.

[0044] The operating condition of the device is for example read from a tricolour LED.

[0045] A further basic switch 1 of a device (vivobase) for protection against electric and/or magnetic fields, in particular electromagnetic fields, is shown in FIG. 3. This type of basic switch 1 is for example provided for mobile use (mobile) or in a vehicle (car).

[0046] The voltage supplies are a 3.7V battery or a 12V direct current source. This voltage drives a frequency generator switch 2 and is transmitted to the two protection elements 3 via a cascade, each comprising a capacitor 5 and diode 7.

[0047] With this switch 1 for a vivobase mobile a capacitor/diode pair 3 each is located on the neutral conductor and on the phase. The same Shottky diodes as those of the example of FIG. 2 (home) are once again used here, wherein the capacitors 5 are replaced with SMD capacitors 5 with the same characteristics.

[0048] The voltage supply can be a lithium ion battery, the voltage of which is inverted, amplified, and then transmitted to the two elements 3. The voltage carrying conductor to one element 3 and the neutral conductor to the other element 3. The switch 1 is operated with 25 Hz.

[0049] The switch 1 of the vivobase car variant is as for vivobase mobile, except that the voltage supply is a USB interface instead of the battery.

[0050] The mobile variant shown in FIG. 3 is constructed so small that one can embed the circuit board in a wristband, key ring or a dog tag/collar.

[0051] In some examples these housing variants have a display. A clock, the condition of the battery and the operating status can be read on the display. Different programs can also be selected, with which the switch 1 is operated with different frequencies. The circuit boards in the respective vivobase corporate or vivobase animal variant are the same as those of vivobase home, only the housings differ.

[0052] The operating condition of this car variant can also be readable from a tricolour LED. A corresponding program can be permanently set for this.

All aspects of the methods, devices and systems described in this document can also be combined with each other in multiple ways.
