Apparatus and a non-invasive technique are disclosed for the control of glucose levels in living animals afflicted with hyperglycemia. The apparatus is used to apply a uniform, monopolar pulsed magnetic field to cause electric currents and field generation in the animal. The pulsed magnetic fields are obtained by transmitting individual pulses of direct current to Helmholtz coils located on opposite sides of the animal. The optimum pulse train configuration for the test animals, which were a breed of white rats, is a pulse repetition rate of 15 hertz, a pulse amplitude of 60 millivolts, and a pulse width of 350 microseconds. The generated field in the preferred embodiment was about 15 gauss. Although the treated rats did not have a normal serum glucose level, the depicted serum glucose levels are significantly lower than those of the control animals.

Bacteria, particularly coliform bacteria, present in a liquid, are rapidly detected. A sample of the liquid to be tested is admixed with an enzyme-inducing agent which induces the production of an enzyme in the bacteria, the enzyme being capable of reacting with a fluorescent conjugate ingested by the bacteria to release its fluorescent portion. Conditions are controlled such that a sufficient number of molecules of enzyme are produced per bacterium present in the liquid sample to effect release of the fluorescent portion. A fluorescent conjugate, capable of being ingested by the bacteria, is admixed with the liquid sample for reaction with the enzyme to release the fluorescent portion of the fluorescent conjugate. The liquid sample is then formed into microdroplets in a liquid carrier such that the fluorescent material is retained in the microdroplets. A liquid carrying the microdroplets is formed into a stream in which the microdroplets become aligned and the stream is moved relative to a detector for detecting fluorescence.

A method of controlling cellular influx and efflux of ionic calcium to modulate the functioning of biological entities comprising subjecting such entities to both resonant and non-resonant fields. Representative of the synergistic application of these two types of fields in their use in controlling blood glucose levels in living animals afflicted with hyperglycemia. This method comprising subjecting at least the liver and pancreas area of an animal having a blood glucose level of at least 180 mg/dL to a resonant electromagnetic field applied post-prandially until the animal's blood glucose level is reduced to about 150 mg/dL then stopping application of said resonant frequency electromagnetic field and subjecting said animal to a non-resonant frequency electromagnetic field to further reduce the animal's blood glucose level.

A sensor and method are disclosed for measuring electrokinetic effects across a double layer formed at the boundary between a solid wall and an ionic liquid flowing through a channel. In one embodiment, a passive electrode is located in a cavity forming a tee section with the channel through an orifice of approximately the same size as the channel. A passive second electrode in electrical communication with one side of the double layer is placed on the other side of a porous plug which is located in a second cavity directly opposite the orifice and which is flush with the channel walls. The double layer being investigated is formed on the flush portion of the porous plug. Thus both electrodes are out of the flowing liquid. An electrokinetic potential, labeled the K-effect potential, was measured by the two electrodes. In one use of the sensor, monitoring this potential, the chemical composition of the liquid can be maintained so as to keep a desired surface charge on suspended minerals which are being processed.

This application relates to an electrolytic process for regulating the transmission of radiant energy, and a radiant energy filter for use in said process. The filter comprises a first film having a dye and a first ionic species therein, an adjacent second film having a second ionic species therein, said first ionic species and said second ionic species being related by a reversible electrochemical reaction, and barrier means positioned between said first and second films for preventing the passage therethrough of said dye, said first ionic species, and said second ionic species but permitting the passage therethrough of current-carrying ions. By passing current through said filter, the color of said dye can be caused to change whereby the transmission of radiant energy can be regulated.

A method of screening a material for potential carcinogenic or mutagenic activity. A mutant stain of eucaryotic or prokaryotic test organism is provided which is capable of reverting to a normal form in the presence of a carcinogen or mutagen. A growth media is provided in which the test organism is capable of growth in one only of its mutant forms. For example, the test organism may be a bacteria which in its mutant form is incapable of substantial growth in the absence of an essential nutrient and, in its natural form, is capable of rapid growth in the absence of that nutrient. The test organism and growth media are combined with oxygen and a material to be screened. Oxygen consumption is then detected to determine if the mutant strain has reverted to its normal form. Reversion is indicated if a change in oxygen consumption occurs when the material being screened is present.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for obtaining flow information of a conductive fluid by detecting the streaming potential and analyzing the resultant signal. In a particular embodiment for detecting abnormal blood velocities in the arterial tree, the apparatus includes a flexible sensor having two fixedly spaced apart electrodes and a common mode signal electrode. Each sensor electrode is connected to an input of a differential amplifier and the common electrode is connected to the common input of the differential amplifier. The output signal from the differential amplifier, after filtering and amplification is provided to a recorder or oscilloscope so that it can be compared with the normal or average signal. A particular embodiment of the method is used to detect blood flow abnormalities, either too fast or too slow compared with most healthy individuals of the same age. In this method, a flexible sensor having two fixedly mounted electrodes is placed on the skin over the artery to be examined, for example the dorsalis pedis artery, so that each electrode is in electrical contact with a different part of the artery.
