Method of scanning, analyzing and identifying electro magnetic field sources

Abstract

A method for determining the energy level of an electromagnetic field (EMF) received from an EMF source (EMFS) and for identifying the EMFS is provided, the method comprising: receiving an EMF signal, separating the EMF signal into EMF sub-signals; determining, when possible, the energy level of EMF sub-signals; identify, when possible, the EMFS corresponding to the EMF sub-signals; and recording EMF related data. An apparatus, a system and a user graphical interface is also provided herein. Further, a network of EMFDD adapted to share EMF data therebetween is also provided herein.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE[0001]This United States non-provisional patent application relates to and claims priority from U.S. provisional patent No. 61 / 115,066 filed Nov. 15, 2008, entitled METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR SCANNING, IDENTIFYING AND ANALYSING THE ENERGY LEVEL RECEIVED FROM EMF SOURCES, which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to a method for determining the energy level received from EMF sources and identifying said EMF sources whenever possible. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for monitoring the EMF exposure affecting an individual during his life activities. Additionally, the present invention relates to a method for combining data from a plurality of EMF sensors. Further, the present invention relates to a system and an apparatus adapted to carry out the method.BACKGROUND[0003]The presence of many electrical devices in our environment is becoming a concern for everybody.

Benefits of technology

[0014]One additional aspect of the invention is to provide a storage module adapted to store the data of many EMF sources together with their determined corresponding level of energy in view of facilitating their subsequent identification by an identifying module of an EMF detecting device.

[0018]One additional object of the invention is to provide a network arrangement that allows many users to share their information about the EMF sources to generate a global EMF mapping of EMFs at specific locations and over time.

Problems solved by technology

Electrical devices generate magnetic and electric fields that can potentially be harmful to the health of humans and other living species.

These EMF, depending on their energy level, can induce current in the human body, they can generate heat in the body, they can affect the human DNA, they can affect human cells and they can cause electric shocks among other effects.

Other potential harmful health effects include the Alzheimer disease and many types of cancers such as leukemia and brain cancer.

One issue facing the scientists working on these studies is a lack of data about the long time exposure to the EMF since the increasing presence of high EMF emitters, like mobile phones, is relatively new.

Another problem is the identification of the sources of EMF and their associated energy level, since individuals are typically exposed to many types of EMF sources producing many kinds of EMF.

However, these instruments are not concerned with gathering the results over long period of time.

Moreover, these instruments are typically built to measure one type of frequency range while being poorly adapted or unable, to take measurement at other frequency range.

Generally these instruments are too large to be worn by an individual during normal life activities.

They are also not configured to keep an historical record of the EMF data and even less to associate geographical data therewith.
