Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a liquid control device. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, research has been conducted into the effects of electromagnetic field exposure on the human body in the treatment of headaches, stiff shoulders, etc., by applying electromagnetic fields to the human body.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 proposes providing electrodes on the head and soles of the feet of a chair on which the patient sits, and applying high AC voltages of different frequencies to the two electrodes, thereby making the difference in frequency of the high AC voltage applied between the two electrodes approximately the same as a low frequency (1-1.8 Hz) below the normal human heart rate (60-90 beats per minute), thereby achieving a parasympathetic-dominant relaxation effect. One example of such an electric potential therapy device is the Hakuju AC High-Voltage Electric Field Health Device Healthtron HES-A30, which has been approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan (approval number 21100BZZ00265000) and is commercially available.

[Effects of the Invention]

[0022] The liquid control device of the present invention has a compact device configuration and can adjust the electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic field, or electromagnetic wave generated from the electrodes to perform effective treatment or therapy. Specifically, the liquid control device of each aspect has the following effects.

[0023] The liquid control device of the first aspect controls the state of the liquid in an object facing the electrodes, thereby increasing the interfacial polarization of water in the object and reducing interfacial tension, thereby atomizing the liquid particles. The size of the water droplets obtained by applying an electric field in the liquid control device of this aspect is 2.5 to 8 μm. Since the spacing between living cells is 12 μm or less, the water droplets with a diameter of 12 μm or less obtained in this embodiment have the property of easily penetrating between living cells. In this embodiment, the water particles atomized by applying an electric field penetrate between living cells of animals and plants, thereby producing various effects. By improving liquid metabolism, edema, cellular edema, or neuronal edema can be ameliorated or prevented. Furthermore, by improving liquid metabolism, the balance of hormones, endocrine secretions, lymphatics, or meridians can be controlled. Furthermore, by improving liquid metabolism, mitochondrial activity, autophagy activity, egg activity, or sperm activity can be controlled.

[0024] A second aspect of the present invention is a liquid control device that controls the state of a liquid in an object facing an electrode, thereby increasing interfacial polarization of water in the object and reducing interfacial tension, thereby atomizing the liquid particles. The size of water droplets obtained by applying an electric field in this liquid control device is 2.5 to 8 μm. Because the spacing between living cells is 12 μm or less, water droplets with a diameter of 12 μm or less obtained in this embodiment have the property of easily penetrating between living cells. In this embodiment, water particles atomized by applying an electric field penetrate between living cells of animals and plants, thereby producing various effects. By atomizing the liquid, it is possible to control and improve or prevent clogging of body fluids, medicinal solutions, cosmetics, or liquids, and to improve or enhance the fluidity of body fluids, medicinal solutions, cosmetics, or liquids. By maintaining an appropriate amount of water in cells or tissues, it is possible to control and improve or prevent induration or hardening. Furthermore, by distributing water throughout cells or tissues, it is possible to control and improve or prevent syneresis of cells or tissues. Improved fluid flow improves metabolism and allows for the removal of active oxygen or lactic acid. For example, muscle stiffening occurs due to the release of water from the muscle. Applying an electric field from the electrodes of the fluid control device of this embodiment reduces the interfacial tension of the liquid, atomizing the water and improving the metabolism of cells and tissues. This improves or prevents muscle imbalance, as well as body balance, fascial balance, occlusion, osteopathy, and osteopathy. For fractures and vascular diseases, sufficient blood and lymph fluid supply to the affected area is essential for improving natural healing. Improved fluid fluidity can improve or prevent fractures and joint diseases. Improved blood flow can improve or normalize heartbeat or pulse rate, and blood pressure. Improved blood flow and improved fluid fluidity also contribute to improving or enhancing respiratory or pulmonary function, and dialysis function. By improving fluid metabolism, it is possible to improve or enhance visual acuity and dynamic visual acuity, and to improve or prevent ophthalmic diseases.By improving blood flow and water balance, internal diseases can be improved or prevented. Furthermore, by improving fluid metabolism, immune function can be improved or enhanced. By improving fluid fluidity, the permeability of drug delivery systems or cosmetics can be improved or enhanced. By applying an electric field from the electrodes using this liquid control device, the emulsion state of the liquid can be improved, i.e., the two liquids can be finely divided and the degree of mixing of the two liquids can be improved, thereby achieving a state in which, for example, oil is well dispersed in water or water is well dispersed in oil. This can improve or enhance the efficacy or quality of drugs, cosmetics, or liquids. Furthermore, the extraction of body fluids, drugs, cosmetics, or liquids can be improved or enhanced. Extraction time can be significantly reduced compared to conventional methods, the extracted product can be transformed into a substance that does not deteriorate for a long time, and a large amount can be extracted using the same raw material, thereby achieving improved extraction efficiency. By applying an electric field from the electrodes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the interfacial tension of the liquid, arrange the liquid particles in a beaded array, improve the emulsification properties, and also improve the quality of the water, for example, improve the wave motion of the liquid. Improving the quality of the water makes it possible to control all natural phenomena related to water, and it is also possible to control, for example, ectoplasm.

[0025] A third aspect of the present invention provides a liquid control device that controls the state of a liquid in an object facing an electrode and reduces the interfacial tension of the liquid, thereby atomizing the liquid particles and arranging the atomized liquid particles in a beaded pattern. Microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and viruses combine with free water in the body, tissues, and cells and grow using the moisture of the free water. Therefore, by controlling the free water in the body, tissues, and cells to beaded, the growth of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and viruses can be inhibited or suppressed. This makes it possible to control and prevent the growth of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Furthermore, the liquid control device of this aspect can reduce the interfacial tension of the liquid, atomize the liquid particles, and arranging the atomized liquid particles in a beaded pattern. By improving liquid metabolism and preventing the growth of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, or viruses, it is possible to control and improve or prevent burns, necrosis, or bedsores. Metastasis is the migration of a lesion to other organs via the flow of blood or lymph, where it then grows. Improving fluid metabolism also contributes to improved immune function, making it possible to prevent metastasis. Because improved fluid metabolism is also necessary for brain activation, the fluid control device of this embodiment can improve intracerebral water balance and water metabolism, thereby improving or preventing dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. By improving water balance and water metabolism with the fluid control device of this embodiment, it is possible to improve sleep, beauty, PMS, menstrual pain, pain, itching, health promotion, motor function improvement, and anti-aging. By applying an electric field from the electrodes with the fluid control device of this embodiment, the interfacial tension of the liquid can be reduced, liquid particles can be atomized, and the emulsion state of the liquid can be improved. In other words, by atomizing the two liquids and improving the degree of mixing of the two liquids, it is possible to achieve a state in which, for example, oil is well dispersed in water or water is well dispersed in oil.The liquid control device of this embodiment functions to improve water permeability, water retention, and emulsification by reducing the interfacial tension of water to reduce water particles in the production of teeth, bones, joints, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, cells, skin, hair, or organs. This allows for improved quality, shorter production time, simplified quality procedures, and cost reduction even when producing each tissue artificially. The liquid control device of this embodiment controls the state of the liquid in the object facing the electrode and reduces the interfacial tension of the liquid to atomize the liquid particles and control the atomized liquid particles to form a beaded arrangement. Microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and viruses grow within the body, tissues, and cells by combining with free water and utilizing the moisture of the free water. Therefore, controlling the free water within the body, tissues, and cells to form beaded arrangements can prevent or suppress the growth of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Furthermore, the formation of a cascade of water within tissues and cells prevents evaporation and dehydration, thereby maintaining the freshness of tissues and cells. This allows for improved control of the storage, freezing, thawing, culture, or logistics of organs, body fluids, blood, cells, tissues, skin, hair, corpses, DNA, stem cells, sperm, eggs, medicines, cosmetics, or liquids, and for improved electrodes or containers used for the storage, freezing, thawing, culture, or logistics of organs, body fluids, blood, cells, tissues, skin, hair, corpses, DNA, stem cells, sperm, eggs, medicines, cosmetics, or liquids.

[0026] In the liquid control device of the fourth aspect of the present invention, the voltage value of the voltage applied to the electrodes is in the range of 0V to 7000V, and the frequency of the AC component of the voltage is in the range of 0Hz to 1MHz, and the voltage value and frequency are selected and controlled by a controller according to the location and condition of the object in advance.

[0027] In the liquid control device of the fifth aspect of the present invention, the voltage value and / or frequency of the voltage are controlled so as to vary smoothly or stepwise over time within a predetermined range, thereby making it possible to supply the optimal voltage value and frequency to the electrodes without fail, even if the optimal voltage value and frequency are not known in advance.

[0028] The liquid control device of the sixth aspect of the present invention controls any of the following: the beaded arrangement, arrangement direction, water bonding, or water activity of water in a substance; the interfacial polarization between the aqueous phase and other phases in a substance, the interfacial tension, or the emulsion state; or the state of active oxygen in a substance.

[0029] In the seventh aspect of the liquid control device of the present invention, after an electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic field, or electromagnetic wave is generated from an electrode for a predetermined time, the control effect is maintained for a predetermined time even after the electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic field, or electromagnetic wave is released.

[0030] In the liquid control device according to the eighth aspect of the present invention, the voltage applied to the electrodes contains the AC component in addition to the DC component.

[0031] In the liquid control device of the ninth aspect of the present invention, the electrodes are in the shape of a plate, a rod, a sheet, a needle, a comb, or two or more electrodes combined together.

[0032] A liquid control device according to a tenth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the controller is managed by a cloud, a server, or a network.

[0033] In the liquid control device according to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, the controller sets the control parameters by machine learning.

[0034] The liquid control device of the twelfth aspect of the present invention is a liquid control device for treating infarction, necrosis, bedsores, burns, removal of active oxygen, removal of lactic acid, improvement of blood flow, improvement of lymphatic flow, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, thrombosis, embolism, arteriosclerosis, improvement or prevention of clogging of body fluids, medicinal liquids, cosmetics, or liquids, improvement of fluidity of body fluids, medicinal liquids, cosmetics, or liquids, improvement or prevention of induration or hardening, improvement or prevention of syneresis of cells or tissues, cell edema, neuronal edema, edema, pulmonary edema, joint edema, ascites, insulin secretion disorder, excretion disorder, excretion difficulty, constipation, urination disorder, congestion, blisters, improvement of drug delivery, medicinal liquids, etc. Reduction of viscosity of body fluids, cell culture, regenerative medicine, shortening of culture time in regenerative medicine, improvement of culture quality or culture efficiency, cell tissue regeneration, reduction of lactic acid, swelling, enlargement, edema, body fluid retention, dehydration of extracellular or intracellular fluid, skin diseases, pigmentation, melasma, freckles, epidermal wrinkles, dermal wrinkles, facial wrinkles, xerosis, improvement of physical condition, hardening, muscle hardening, fascial release, improvement of fascial potential, nerve deformity disease, fascial electromagnetic therapy, muscle imbalance, improvement of fascial potential balance, improvement of body balance, improvement of fascial balance, improvement of occlusion, improvement of osteopathy, improvement of osteopathy, improvement of osteopathy, improvement or prevention of fractures or joint diseases Anti-aging, endocrine, lymphatic or meridian balance improvement, fractures, joint diseases, skin care, moisturizing, fertility improvement, infertility, sperm motility improvement, sperm activity, egg activity, mitochondrial activity, autophagy activity, PMS, pain, itching, abnormal sensations, cold sensitivity, frigidity, convulsions, anti-aging, hair follicle care, menopausal symptom improvement, improved cleansing, alopecia, AGA, ED, lipolysis promotion, contact lens comfort improvement, dry eyes, vision improvement, dynamic vision improvement, sleep disorders, sleep improvement, sleep apnea syndrome, preventive medicine improvement, nerve cell improvement, cell edema improvement, viruses, bacteria, if or mold control, cancer, glaucoma, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, ophthalmological diseases, hearing loss, hearing impairment, visual impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, water balance, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases, circulatory diseases, neurological diseases, hematological diseases, nephrological diseases, endocrine diseases, internal diseases, improvement or normalization of blood pressure, improvement or enhancement of pulse or heart rate, improvement or enhancement of respiratory function or pulmonary function, improvement or enhancement of dialysis function, osteopathic therapy, improvement of rigor mortis, or improvement of rehabilitation medicine.

[0039] A liquid control device according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely illustrative of a liquid control device embodying the technical concept of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention to these embodiments. The present invention is equally applicable to other embodiments within the scope of the claims. While each embodiment uses "moisture" such as free water as an example of the liquid contained within or on the surface of a target, the present invention is not limited to water and can be applied to a wide variety of liquids, including aqueous solutions, blood, body fluids, pharmaceuticals, emulsions, oils, organic substances, ionic fluids, viscous fluids, non-viscous fluids, compressible fluids, and incompressible fluids. Furthermore, although the term "moisture" is sometimes used in each embodiment, this does not intend to limit the liquid to water but rather can be applied to a wide variety of liquids.

[0040] [Embodiment 1] A liquid control device according to a first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0041] FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a liquid control device 1. The liquid control device 1 includes a controller 10 and a pair of electrodes 13 and 14. The controller 10 includes a current / voltage control unit 33, a control unit 36, a communication unit 35, and a memory unit 37. At least one of a DC voltage and an AC voltage is supplied to the electrodes 13 and 14 from a current / voltage application unit 11 controlled by the current / voltage control unit 33. The current and / or voltage applied to the electrodes 13 and 14 is detected by a detection unit 38 and fed back to the control unit 36. A substance detection unit 32 (e.g., a camera) is also provided to detect the type and size of a substance disposed in the space between the electrodes 13 and 14. In the actual circuit configuration of the controller 10, the current / voltage application unit 11 and the detection unit 38 may be provided integrally with the controller 10. Alternatively, for example, the controller 10 and the current / voltage application unit 11 may be housed integrally in a single housing.

[0042] The detector 38 may be provided on the electrodes 13 and 14 to detect the state of the generated electromagnetic waves. In this case, the detector 38 that detects the state of the electromagnetic waves may be provided integrally with the electrodes 13 and 14. The cable for the detector 38 may be integrated with the cables for the electrodes 13 and 14, which facilitates cable management. The electrodes 13 and 14 may also serve as means for detecting the state of the electromagnetic field generation. The detector 38 includes a current and / or voltage detection means. In this case, the current and / or voltage can also be detected in the current / voltage application unit 11. Therefore, the current and / or voltage detection means of the detector 38 can be integrated with the current / voltage application unit 11 or can be incorporated integrally into the housing of a controller or the like. Since the data detected by the current and / or voltage detection means of the detector 38 includes a numerical value associated with the generation of the electromagnetic waves, the electromagnetic waves generated at the electrodes 13 and 14 can be detected from the detected data.

[0043] The substance detection unit 32 can be integrated into the controller 10. However, to prevent the device from becoming too large due to the addition of a camera or other devices, or for convenience in the placement of the camera or other devices, the substance detection unit 32 can also be configured separately from the controller 10. While FIG. 1 illustrates an example in which a pair of electrodes 13 and 14 are provided, this embodiment is not limited to this. As described below, any number of electrodes, and various shapes, can be used as long as there is at least one electrode. For example, if there is only one electrode 13 or 14, the substance can be placed facing that electrode. When the substance detection unit 32 detects the type, state, size, etc. of the substance placed facing the electrodes 13 and 14, the control unit 36 ​​calculates a control command value in response to the substance detection. In response to this control command value, the current / voltage control unit 33 controls the current / voltage application unit 11 to control the current and voltage applied to the electrodes 13 and 14, thereby applying at least one of an electric field, a magnetic field, an electromagnetic field, or an electromagnetic wave to the substance placed facing the electrodes. Hereinafter, expressions such as "an electromagnetic field is applied," "electromagnetic waves are irradiated," and "an electric field is applied" may be used, but these expressions are not intended to limit the electromagnetic field, electromagnetic waves, or electric field, and include electric fields, magnetic fields, electromagnetic fields, and electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic field applied to the substance is controlled to a desired state in response to control commands calculated by feedback control in the control unit 36 ​​based on the detection value from the detection unit 38. A voltage containing at least an AC component is applied to the electrodes 13 and 14, and an electric field and a magnetic field are generated from the electrodes 13 and 14 in response to the applied voltage. The electromagnetic field includes at least either an electric field or a magnetic field. Furthermore, because the electrodes 13 and 14 function as antennas, electromagnetic waves are generated from the electrodes 13 and 14 in response to the applied voltage. The electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic field, and electromagnetic waves generated from the electrodes 13 and 14 correspond to the applied voltage and current, are interrelated, and can be calculated by calculation, so in this embodiment, the intensities of the electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic field, and electromagnetic waves generated from the electrodes 13 and 14 are quantitatively evaluated by the electric field intensity. It is also possible to apply only a DC component to the electrodes 13 and 14, and in this case, it is also possible to reduce the interfacial tension of the liquid, control the cascade arrangement, control the emulsion, etc.It is also possible to apply DC and AC components to the electrodes 13 and 14, but in this embodiment, to facilitate evaluation between examples, a case where only AC components are applied, for example, a case where an AC voltage of 50 kHz and 100 V is applied, is illustrated. Since current is also supplied by applying a voltage to the electrodes 13 and 14, the objects to be controlled by the controller 10 are the voltage value, current value, frequency, and phase, and the target value of each physical quantity can be set by the controller 10. In this embodiment, to enable a consistent explanation between examples, the voltage value and frequency will be described as the target values, but it is of course possible to set target values ​​for other physical quantities.

[0044] The communication unit 35 receives control parameters and control values ​​from the management server 40 by communicating with the management server 40, the database 43, the other PCs 31a-31n, and the other liquid control devices 1a-1n. A program is stored in the memory unit 37, and the control unit 36, which includes a CPU and the like, operates according to the program stored in the memory unit 37. Based on the control parameters and control values ​​received from the management server 40, the control unit 36 ​​controls the current and / or voltage applied to the electrodes 13 and 14 by controlling the current / voltage application unit 11 via the current / voltage control unit 33 built into the controller 10. This program can be rewritten from the management server 40 via the communication unit 35. It is also possible to store the program in a removable memory such as a flash memory and rewrite the program in the controller 10 using the removable memory. The program can also be set or rewritten using the man-machine interface 31 connected to the communication unit 35.

[0045] The management server 40 has functions such as updating or maintaining the program of the controller 10, monitoring or watching over the usage status of the controller 10, collecting or analyzing location information or environmental information of the controller 10, collecting or analyzing improvement request information from the controller 10, maintaining the controller 10, collecting control information from the controller 10 and / or information from the database 43, generating and providing learning model information for the controller 10, providing control information based on the learning model information, or providing control parameters for the controller 10.

[0046] Regarding monitoring or supervision of the usage status of the controller 10, the management server 40 can constantly collect control information from the controller 10. Therefore, the management server 40 has the function of constantly monitoring and supervising the usage status of the controller 10. Here, the monitoring function includes understanding the status of the user by analyzing the time of day, the extent to which, and how the user of the liquid control device 1 corresponding to the controller 10 uses the liquid control device 1. For example, if the liquid control device is used in a restaurant, the management server 40 can grasp the restaurant's business status, customer numbers, cooking status, preparation status, etc. Furthermore, for individual users, the management server 40 can grasp the user's personal living status, safety status, etc. from the usage status of the liquid control device. Therefore, if the management server 40 determines that the liquid control device 1 is malfunctioning, it can notify the corresponding user and also notify registered contacts and emergency contacts such as the police and fire department of the malfunction.

[0047] Regarding the collection and analysis of location information or environmental information of the controller 10, the management server 40 collects location information, climate information, regional information, etc. of the location where the liquid control device 1 is located from the controller 10, and can grasp the location information or environmental conditions in which the quality control device 1 is being used.Therefore, for example, the management server 40 can transmit control information, etc. according to the usage environment to the controller 10.

[0048] Regarding the collection or analysis of improvement request information from the controller 10, the management server 40 can collect improvement request information input from the PC 31 to the controller 10 from the controller, or can collect improvement request information input from the PC 31 that communicates with the controller 10 directly from the PC 31. The improvement request information includes information such as improvement requests from users of the liquid control device 1, evaluations of control results, and requests. This improvement request information is analyzed by the management server 40 and used to set the control parameters of each liquid control device 1.

[0049] Regarding maintenance of the controller 10, the management server 40 collects and monitors information such as the operating status of the controller 10, the status of the program, the status of the device control parameters, information stored in the memory unit 37, the status of the equipment, and the environmental status of the liquid control device, and can perform maintenance on the program, control parameters, detection information, control result information, various setting parameters, and the contents stored in the memory unit of the controller 10. The contents of the maintenance are not particularly limited, but include setting or updating the program, setting or updating control parameters and setting parameters, and setting or updating the learning model described below. The various operating status information, control information, etc. collected from the controller 10 and / or information collected from the database 43 are used for deep learning in the management server 40, as described below. Furthermore, learning model information trained by deep learning and / or control parameters calculated by the learning model are provided to the controller 10 of each liquid control device 1.

[0050] The controller 10 is also connected to a substance detection unit 32 for detecting the type and / or state of a substance placed between the electrodes. By determining the type and / or state of the substance, the controller 10 controls the built-in current / voltage application unit 11 to generate an appropriate output voltage and / or output current depending on the type, state, size, etc. of the substance. The current / voltage application unit 11 has at least one function of DC-DC conversion, DC-AC conversion, AC-DC conversion, and AC-AC conversion, as described below. For example, the current / voltage application unit 11 can be a VVVF (variable voltage variable frequency) inverter. The current / voltage application unit 11 can apply a voltage / current obtained by superimposing a DC voltage / current on an AC voltage / current to the electrodes 13 and 14.

[0051] Furthermore, by the man-machine interface 31 communicating with the controller 10, the user can set and operate the controller by inputting from the man-machine interface 31. The man-machine interface 31 includes, for example, a display, a touch panel, a keyboard, a mouse, etc. When operating the controller 10 using a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a portable terminal, or a personal computer such as a laptop computer (hereinafter, the man-machine interface 31 may also be simply referred to as a "PC"), the smartphone or the like can serve as both the man-machine interface 31 and the communication unit 35, etc.

[0052] By communicating with the controller 10, the PC 31 can set control parameters, update the control program, and monitor the operating status and control status of the controller 10. Furthermore, if the PC 31 and the controller 10 are connected via a communication network, the PC 31 can set, operate, monitor, and so on the controller 10 from a remote location.

[0053] The liquid control device 1 is also connected to an external power source (not shown). The external power source can be either an AC power source or a DC power source, and the DC power source can also be a battery, including a primary battery and a secondary battery. If the liquid control device 1 is movable, transportable, or portable, it is convenient to use a battery as the external power source 39 in order to ensure power supply.

[0054] Furthermore, the controller 10 feedback controls at least one of the current value, voltage value, frequency, and phase applied to the electrodes based on a detection signal from a detection unit 38 described below.

[0055] The substance to be treated is placed between the electrodes 13 and 14. The substance to be treated is not particularly limited as long as it is at least one of a solid, a liquid, and a gas, and various substances can be treated as described below.

[0056] The controller 10 is connected to a communication network 45 via a communication unit 35 or a PC 31. This communication network 45 is connected to a management server 40, a database 43, the liquid control devices 1a-1n, and the PCs 31a-31n. The management server 40 can collect control information, including detection data from the substance detection unit 32 and / or the detection unit 38, from the controller 10 via the communication unit 35 or the PC 31. The management server 40 calculates a learning model for determining control parameters for the controller, for example, by machine learning such as deep learning, based on the data in the database 43, information from each liquid control device 1, 1a-1n, and information from each PC 31, 31a-31n. The management server 40 transmits the trained learning model and the calculation parameters determined by the trained model to the controller 10 of each liquid control device 1, 1a-1n. The controller 10 uses a learning model in the control unit 36 ​​to calculate parameters suitable for the substance placed opposite the electrodes 13, 14 based on detection data from the substance detection unit 32 and / or the detection unit 38, or uses the suitable parameters transmitted from the management server 40 in the control unit 36 ​​to perform calculations for controlling the current and / or voltage applied from the current / voltage application unit 11 to the electrodes 13, 14 via the current / voltage control unit 33. A control program is stored in the memory unit 37. The controller 10 is controlled based on the control program. This control program is rewritable from the management server 40, allowing the program to be updated and upgraded as needed. The control program can also be set, changed, and updated from the PC 31. Furthermore, various control parameters of the controller 10 can also be set and changed via the PC 31.

[0057] [About electrodes] Although FIG. 1 illustrates a pair of electrodes 13, 14 as plate-shaped electrodes, the electrodes 13, 14 are not limited to plate-shaped electrodes and can be foil-shaped, film-shaped, or layer-shaped. Furthermore, various shapes, such as rod-shaped, spherical, hemispherical, cylindrical, semi-cylindrical, conical, semi-conical, approximately L-shaped, approximately U-shaped, polygonal, polygonal prism-shaped, polygonal pyramidal, curved, or bent, can be adopted (see FIGS. 32 to 39, etc., described below). Furthermore, when the electrodes 13, 14 are foil-shaped or film-shaped, the electrodes can be made very thin, thereby reducing the installation space for the electrodes, allowing for flexible design of the electrodes, weight reduction, and ease of installation. When electrodes are layer-shaped, they may be provided in the form of thin films that are layered on a predetermined substrate, for example.

[0058] The shape of the electrodes 13, 14 is not limited to a flat plate shape and may be any shape. When foil electrodes 13, 14 are used, the electrodes can be formed into any shape according to the shape of the installation location, and for example, the electrodes can be formed into a curved surface.

[0059] The electrodes 13 and 14 may be provided with multiple through-holes. Providing multiple through-holes in the electrodes can improve the characteristics of the electromagnetic waves generated from the electrodes, provide breathability, and ensure visibility through the electrodes. The holes may have a variety of shapes, such as circles, ellipses, polygons, slits, lines, or combinations thereof. For example, hexagonal holes may be provided.

[0060] The materials of the electrodes 13 and 14 are not particularly limited as long as they are conductive. Examples include conductive metals such as copper, iron, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, gold, silver, and platinum, alloys of these metals, and conductive materials such as conductive oxides and conductive glass. The surfaces of the electrodes 13 and 14 can also be coated with an insulating material. For example, when the electrodes are placed in a fryer, the electrodes are insulated from the inner surface of the fryer. For example, when the electrodes are placed in the inner surface of a container, it is desirable to insulate the electrodes from the inner surface of the container. One of the pair of electrodes 13 and 14 can also be made of different materials. For example, the electrode 13 can be made of stainless steel and the electrode 14 can be made of titanium. Other combinations include stainless steel and aluminum, or stainless steel and copper. Changing the materials of the electrodes 13 and 14 can adjust the characteristics of the electromagnetic waves generated by those electrodes. In this case, the characteristics of the electromagnetic waves can also be adjusted by changing the materials of the electrodes 13 and 14. As described below, the number of electrodes is not limited to one pair, but can be one, three or more, two or more pairs, or other suitable number. Even in this case, the characteristics of the electromagnetic waves generated from the electrodes can be adjusted by appropriately selecting the material of each electrode. For example, when using two pairs of electrodes, one pair of electrodes can be made of stainless steel and the other pair of electrodes can be made of copper, thereby adjusting the characteristics of the electromagnetic waves generated from these electrodes. Electrodes 13 and 14 generate at least one of an electric field, a magnetic field, an electromagnetic field, an electromagnetic wave, a sound wave, and an ultrasonic wave. However, when generating only a sound wave or an ultrasonic wave, the material of electrodes 13 and 14 is not limited to a conductive material, and a non-conductive material such as resin can be used.

[0061] A dedicated housing can be provided for installing the liquid control device 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the liquid control device can be installed in, for example, an existing housing. A wide variety of housings can be selected as existing housings into which the liquid control device 1 can be installed, including those for refrigerators, freezers, refrigerated warehouses, freezer warehouses, storage facilities, warehouses, refrigerated trucks, freezer cars, cooler boxes, transport containers, storage containers, showcases, shelves, drawers, fryers, cultivation containers (for hydroponic cultivation, etc.), fuel tanks, personal computers, mobile phones, chairs, beds, furniture, bedding, home appliances, various manufacturing equipment in factories, processing equipment, medical equipment, health equipment, beauty equipment, cooking equipment, polishing equipment, vehicles, semiconductor cleaning equipment, and equipment for controlling water vapor emitted during cooling in smelting, baking, and drying processes.

[0062] In the case of a refrigerator, the pair of electrodes 13, 14 can be arranged, for example, along the ceiling and bottom surfaces of the refrigerator, along opposing sidewall surfaces, along the ceiling, shelf, or bottom surfaces, along the ceiling, bottom, and side surfaces, or along the inner door and rear side surfaces. In the case of a fryer, the pair of electrodes 13, 14 can be arranged, for example, along both side surfaces inside the oil container. That is, the pair of electrodes 13, 14 can be arranged in any manner so long as they are arranged facing each other. Furthermore, the pair of electrodes does not need to be arranged parallel to each other; for example, they can be positioned perpendicular to each other. The electrodes can be arranged in any manner as long as there is space between them to accommodate the material to be treated. The number, arrangement, and shape of the electrodes are not particularly limited, and the number is not limited to one pair. They can be one, three, or more, or two or more pairs. See, for example, Figures 9, 10, 23-30, etc., described below.

[0063] The object on which the liquid control device 1 is installed does not have to be a housing, and it can be installed anywhere as long as a pair of electrodes 13, 14 can be arranged. For example, it can be installed anywhere, such as a shelf or a wall, as long as the pair of electrodes 13, 14 can be arranged facing each other. It is also possible to use a partition-like member to secure the electrodes 13, 14. For example, it can be configured as a cutting board. Furthermore, the number of electrodes is not limited to one pair, and may be one, three or more, or two or more pairs. See, for example, Figures 9, 10, 23-30, etc., described below.

[0064] [Voltage applied to the electrodes] At least one of a DC component voltage and an AC component voltage is applied from the controller 10 to the pair of electrodes 13, 14. The DC component voltage is not particularly limited, but can be adjusted between 0V and 7000V, between 0V and 5000V, between 0V and 2000V, between 0V and 500V, between 0V and 200V, between 0V and 100V, between 5V and 20V, or between 10V and 15V. The polarity can be either positive or negative. That is, when adjusting between 0V and 200V, taking both positive and negative polarities into consideration, the voltage can be adjusted between -200V and +200V. Therefore, taking both positive and negative polarities into consideration, the voltage can be adjusted between, for example, -7000V and +7000V, between, for example, -5000V and +5000V, between, for example, -2000V and 2000V, between, for example, -500V and +500V, or between, for example, -200V and +200V. The power supply voltage may be a DC power supply or an AC power supply. When a DC power supply is used, a battery, for example, can be used as the power supply, which provides excellent portability. Furthermore, when an AC power supply is used, a commercial power supply, for example, can be used, which makes it easy to secure a power source. The power supply voltage can be, for example, 100V to 400V AC, 5V to 20V DC, or 10V to 15V DC. Furthermore, when expressed as a spatial electric field, it can be adjusted, for example, between -7000V / cm and +7000V / cm, for example, between -5000V / cm and +5000V / cm, or between -2000V / cm and +2000V / cm, or between -500V / cm and +500V / cm, or between -200V / cm and +200V / cm.

[0065] At least a DC component voltage is applied to the pair of electrodes 13, 14, and it is also possible to set the AC component voltage to 0V, for example, and apply only the DC component voltage.

[0066] The direction of the DC component voltage can be either positive (+) or negative (-). In this embodiment, the direction of the DC component voltage is positive when the potential of electrode 14 is higher than the potential of electrode 13 (earth potential), and conversely, the direction of the DC voltage is negative when the potential of electrode 14 is lower than the potential of electrode 13. Whether the DC component voltage is positive or negative, the effect of improving the properties of the material is achieved.

[0067] Furthermore, an AC component voltage can be applied to the pair of electrodes 13, 14 in addition to the DC component voltage. Alternatively, the DC component voltage can be set to 0 V and only the AC component voltage can be applied. The frequency of the AC component voltage is not particularly limited, but can be adjusted between 0 and 1 MHz, between 0 Hz and 500 kHz, between 0 Hz and 200 kHz, or between 5 Hz and 100 kHz, for example. Depending on the subject, a low frequency band or a high frequency band may be used. For example, a frequency band of about 5 Hz to 500 Hz may be used as the low frequency band.

[0068] The voltage of the AC component voltage is not particularly limited, but can be adjusted between 0 and 7000 Vpp / cm, for example, between 0 and 5000 Vpp / cm, for example, between 0 and 2000 Vpp / cm, or between 0 and 500 Vpp / cm, or between 0 and 200 Vpp / cm, for example. Alternatively, for example, a voltage between 0 and 7000 V can be supplied to the electrode, a voltage between 0 and 5000 V can be supplied, or a voltage between 0 and 2000 V can be supplied, or a voltage between 0 and 500 V can be supplied, or a voltage between 0 and 500 V can be supplied, or a voltage between 50 and 250 V can be supplied. For example, in the case of a pair of electrodes, the voltage between the electrodes can be supplied at a voltage between 0 and 7000 V, and can also be adjusted between 0 and 5000 V, for example, or between 0 and 2000 V, for example, or between 0 and 500 V, or can further be adjusted between 50 V and 250 V, for example.

[0069] Note that although applying a DC component voltage can sometimes have an effect of improving the properties of a material, applying only an AC component voltage can also produce the same effect, in which case the DC component voltage is considered to be 0 V. In the following, for AC voltage components, as a general rule, [Vpp] is used as the unit when expressing the peak-to-peak voltage value, and [V] is used to express the effective voltage value.

[0070] As described above, the voltage of the external power supply may be either a DC voltage or an AC voltage, and the external power supply may be either an AC power supply or a DC power supply. For example, a commercial power supply may be used as the AC power supply. For example, a battery, including a primary battery and a secondary battery, may be used as the DC power supply. For example, various batteries, such as a 12V battery or a dry cell battery, may be used.

[0071] To adjust the voltage value of the DC component voltage in the controller 10, there are methods such as controlling the voltage of a DC power supply with a DC-DC converter, or controlling the voltage with a DC-DC converter when or after rectifying an AC power supply with an AC-DC converter, etc. To adjust the voltage value and frequency of the AC component voltage in the controller 10, there are methods such as controlling the DC power supply with a DC-AC converter (inverter), controlling the AC power supply with a DC-AC converter (inverter) after rectifying it with an AC-DC converter, or controlling the AC power supply with an AC-AC converter, etc.

[0072] If the target voltage value of the DC component voltage is equal to the power supply voltage of the DC power supply, the power supply voltage of the DC power supply can be used as is as the DC component voltage. Similarly, if the target voltage and target frequency of the AC component voltage are equal to the power supply voltage of the AC power supply, the power supply voltage of the AC power supply can be used as is as the AC component voltage.

[0073] Then, the DC component voltage and the AC component voltage are added together, that is, the DC component voltage is added to the AC component voltage as an offset voltage, and this added voltage is applied between the pair of electrodes 13, 14. Furthermore, when controlling the AC component voltage in power conversion in a DC-AC converter, for example, it is also possible to control the DC component voltage as well.

[0074] The AC component of the voltage applied to the electrodes may be a sinusoidal voltage, but the AC voltage component of this embodiment is not limited to a sinusoidal waveform and may include any waveform, such as a square wave or PWM waveform. Note that the terms "sine wave" and "square wave" do not refer to sine waves or square waves in the strict sense, but rather to waveforms that take noise, distortion, etc. into consideration. Furthermore, the DC component of the voltage applied to the electrodes does not necessarily mean a constant voltage, but may also be a DC component voltage that changes over time.

[0075] The voltage control means in the controller 10 may be an analog circuit, a digital circuit, or a circuit combining an analog circuit and a digital circuit. For example, a sinusoidal voltage may be generated by an analog circuit, or an equivalent sinusoidal wave may be generated by a PWM waveform. Furthermore, for example, a circuit that generates a square-wave voltage may be either a digital circuit or an analog circuit.

[0076] The controller 10 also controls the voltage or current applied to the electrodes 13 and 14 as follows. (1) A voltage or current that reduces the interfacial tension of a material. (2) The voltage or current must be such that food, drink, or liquids are not corrosive.

[0077] [Controller Control] The liquid control device 1 is driven by the controller 10, and an electric field is generated between the pair of electrodes 13, 14. At this time, the electrodes 13, 14 function as antennas, and an electromagnetic field is generated by radiating electromagnetic waves between the electrodes 13, 14. Furthermore, sound waves and / or ultrasound waves can be generated between the electrodes by applying vibrations to the electrodes 13, 14 by electrical, magnetic, or mechanical means. A piezoelectric element, such as a piezo element, can be used as a means for generating sound waves and / or ultrasound waves between the electrodes. Therefore, at least one of an electric field, a magnetic field, an electromagnetic field, an electromagnetic wave, a sound wave, and an ultrasound wave is generated between the electrodes 13, 14. The use of sound waves and / or ultrasound waves in addition to the electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic field, or electromagnetic wave enhances the effect of improving the properties of a material.

[0078] The controller 10 feedback-controls at least one of the current value, voltage value, frequency, and phase applied to the electrodes based on a detection signal from the detection unit 38. The detection unit 38 includes at least one of a voltage sensor that detects the voltage applied to the electrodes, a current sensor that detects the current applied to the electrodes, a frequency sensor that detects the frequency of the voltage and / or current applied to the electrodes, a phase sensor that detects the phase of the voltage and / or current applied to the electrodes, a magnetic field sensor that detects the magnetic field between the electrodes 13, 14, an electric field sensor that detects the electric field between the electrodes 13, 14, an acoustic wave sensor that detects the magnitude and frequency of sound waves between the electrodes 13, 14, and an ultrasonic sensor that detects the magnitude and frequency of ultrasonic waves between the electrodes 13, 14.

[0079] A sensor can also be provided on the electrode. The electrode itself can also be used as a sensor. When a sensor is provided on an electrode, in addition to a power line supplying power to the electrode, wiring (e.g., two lines) for the sensor is required. Since it is desirable to minimize the number of wires between the controller 10 and the electrode, it is preferable to combine the power line and the sensor line into a single cord. In this case, the single cord should be coated with a material that is at least insulating. Durability and heat resistance are also desirable. Furthermore, considering use in a freezer, it is desirable that the cord be able to withstand low temperatures. For example, considering use in a fryer, durability and heat resistance as well as insulation are required, so a material such as fluororesin can be used as the coating material for the cord. When a pair of electrodes is provided, a sensor can be provided on only one electrode. Alternatively, if sensors are provided on both electrodes, the sensor on one electrode can detect a physical quantity generated by the other electrode. When three or more electrodes are used, a sensor can be provided on at least one electrode, but this is not limited to this. Sensors can also be provided on multiple electrodes or all electrodes.

[0080] At least one control target value of the controller 10, i.e., current value, voltage value, frequency, and phase, is set according to the type and state of the target substance. This control target value can be set remotely via a communication device (not shown). It is also possible to remotely control the control parameters and control amounts of the controller 10. This allows the controllers 10 of multiple liquid control devices 1 to be centrally managed by a server 40 located at a remote location, allowing each controller 10 to be appropriately controlled. However, the mode of control of the controller 10 is not limited to remote control from the server 40. For example, it is also possible to individually control the controller 10 of each liquid control device 1 by directly setting a control target value or setting control parameters in each controller 10.

[0081] The controller 10 is provided with a storage unit 37, which stores a control program. The controller 10 is controlled based on this control program. This control program is rewritable via communication or a storage medium, so it is possible to update and upgrade the program as needed. Furthermore, the controller 10 and the server 40 can communicate with each other, and the control parameters, control variables, control programs, and various setting values ​​sent from the server 40 are stored in the storage unit 37. The control program can also be stored in an appropriate storage medium.

[0082] Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of a water molecule, where Figure 2A shows a water molecule in a free state and Figure 2B shows a water molecule in a bead-like arrangement.

[0083] The target substances, for example, foods such as meat, fish, and vegetables, beverages, animal and plant cells, and oils, contain water molecules as moisture such as free water.

[0084] Normally, water molecules (HO) are arranged in a disordered manner, as shown in Figure 2A. Therefore, hydrogen atoms H can take in reactive oxygen species 30 or form hydrogen bonds, increasing the size of the water molecules and slowing their movement. This is when oxidation of the water molecules begins.

[0085] In contrast, when an electric field is generated between the pair of electrodes 13 and 14, the water molecules try to align in a certain direction. This is because the oxygen atoms O, which have a strong force attracting electrons, become slightly negative, and the hydrogen atoms H, which easily give up electrons, become slightly positive, and each tries to move in the direction of the electric field between the pair of electrodes 13 and 14.

[0086] When the controller 10 generates an AC voltage, the water molecules alternately change direction. At this time, the water molecules change direction at the same frequency as the AC voltage, and enter a state of vibration. As this vibration is repeated, the water molecules gradually break down into smaller particles and are arranged in a regular pattern, as shown in FIG. 2B.

[0087] The same effect occurs between water particles (fine water droplets) as moisture such as free water present in a substance, so the electric field between the pair of electrodes 13, 14 causes the water particles to attract each other and form a beaded array.

[0088] When a DC component voltage is applied between the pair of electrodes 13 and 14, there is a force component that causes the water molecules to align in the direction of the electric field caused by this DC component voltage. Therefore, even when only a DC component voltage is applied between the pair of electrodes 13 and 14, the water molecules will be arranged in a regular pattern. Furthermore, when an AC component voltage is applied in addition to the DC component voltage, the water molecules change direction at the same frequency as the AC component voltage, and there is also a force component that causes the water molecules to align in one direction, making it easier for the water molecules to be arranged in a regular pattern. Similarly, with regard to the state of water particles, the electric field between the pair of electrodes 13 and 14 causes water particles, such as free water, to attract each other and form a beaded array.

[0089] Even when the voltage applied between the pair of electrodes 13 and 14 does not contain a DC component voltage, the AC component voltage causes water molecules to change direction and vibrate at the same frequency as the AC component voltage. As this vibration is repeated, the water molecules break hydrogen bonds with the active oxygen 30 or other components, and the water molecules gradually become finer and more regularly arranged. Furthermore, when the voltage applied between the pair of electrodes 13 and 14 does not contain a DC component voltage, the AC component voltage also affects the state of water particles, causing the water particles, such as free water, to attract each other and form a beaded arrangement due to the electric field between the pair of electrodes 13 and 14.

[0090] Since sound waves or ultrasound waves have the effect of vibrating water molecules, the alignment of water molecules can be promoted by further generating sound waves and / or ultrasound waves of a predetermined frequency and intensity between the electrodes when applying a DC component voltage and / or an AC component voltage between the pair of electrodes 13, 14. Furthermore, when water molecules are vibrated by predetermined sound waves and / or ultrasound waves, the water molecules can be aligned even when no voltage is applied between the electrodes.

[0091] Since the alignment direction of water molecules or water particles is along the direction in which the electromagnetic field is applied, it is possible to control the alignment direction of water molecules or water particles by controlling the applied electromagnetic field. For example, the electromagnetic field applied from a pair of electrodes 13 and 14 is in a fixed direction, but in Figure 9 described below, the electromagnetic field is applied from two pairs of electrodes (electrodes 13 and 14 and electrodes 15 and 16) that are orthogonal to each other. Therefore, by controlling the current or voltage applied to each electrode, it is possible to adjust not only the strength of the electromagnetic field generated between the electrodes but also the direction of the electromagnetic field, thereby making it possible to control the alignment direction of water molecules or water particles.

[0092] Water can be divided into "bound water" and "free water." Bound water is stable, bound to other components by hydrogen bonds. In contrast, free water is free and active, and in the case of food, it keeps the food fresh and juicy. However, free water molecules easily bind to other components, making foods containing free water susceptible to spoilage. In other words, bacteria, viruses, microorganisms, or active enzymes can easily bind to free water, causing decay. Even in the bound water state, bound water can become free over time, with rising temperatures, or in dry environments. At this time, some of the hydrogen-bonded cellular components are stripped away, making the food more susceptible to spoilage. Therefore, free water can be maintained fresh by forming a chain of bound water (distinguished from the "bound water state" mentioned above) or by binding to other cells.

[0093] It is believed that the water molecules arranged in a beaded pattern by the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment form a structure in which the free water molecules bind to each other, resulting in a stable state similar to that of bound water. In other words, the water molecules regularly arranged by the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment are retained within the substance but do not bind to other components, thereby keeping the food fresh and juicy.

[0094] Therefore, by installing the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment in a container, the arrangement of free water in a substance within the container can be controlled, and if the substance is food, medicine, or cells, the freshness of the food, medicine, or cells can be maintained. For example, by using the liquid control device 1 as a transport container, food can be transported over longer distances than conventional methods while maintaining freshness. The container may be, for example, polystyrene foam, and a transport container can be constructed by attaching the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment to existing polystyrene foam, etc.

[0095] Furthermore, once the water molecules are regularly arranged by the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment, they are maintained in that regularly arranged state for several days to several tens of days. Therefore, when the target substance is food, medicine, or cells, the freshness of the food, medicine, or cells can be maintained even if the free water is arranged in a beaded arrangement by the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment and then transferred to another container for storage.

[0096] Furthermore, when a predetermined voltage is applied to the electrodes 13 and 14, the water molecules in the water content of the substance are electrically aligned and oriented in a substantially uniform direction (the direction of the electric field). At this time, the alignment of the water molecules increases the conductivity of the substance. It is possible to align the water molecules even when the substance is liquid, which makes it possible to increase the conductivity of, for example, pure water. Furthermore, because water molecules vibrate slightly at a uniform frequency in an electric field, they do not crystallize at temperatures around 0°C.

[0097] Furthermore, when a predetermined voltage is applied to the electrodes 13 and 14, hydrogen bonding of water molecules in the substance is suppressed, resulting in fewer hydrogen bonds, making it possible to obtain, for example, physiological water. Furthermore, by adding microbubbles such as microbubbles, micro-nanobubbles, or nanobubbles to this water, water with even higher functionality can be obtained. Such enhancement of liquid functionality using electric fields and microbubbles is not limited to water, but can also be applied to, for example, aqueous solutions, emulsions, oils, etc.

[0098] Furthermore, when a predetermined voltage is applied to electrodes 13 and 14, the hydration of water molecules in the water content of the substance is promoted. For example, when proteins contained in the substance are hydrated and bond with water molecules, the proteins are surrounded by water molecules, and deterioration of the substance can be suppressed.

[0099] FIG. 3 shows micrographs of free water, with FIG. 3A showing the state of free water before an electric field is applied, and FIG. 3B showing the state of free water when an electric field is applied. As shown in FIG. 3B, in the free water when an electric field is applied, a bead-and-socket arrangement of water particles can be confirmed at the area marked with a white underline. In contrast, as shown in FIG. 3A, in the free water before an electric field is applied, no bead-and-socket arrangement of water particles can be confirmed. From FIG. 3, it was confirmed that the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment can put free water into a bead-and-socket arrangement. While FIG. 3 shows the bead-and-socket arrangement of a water phase in an oil phase, controlling the applied electric field to similarly control the bead-and-socket arrangement of liquids can also be achieved between other types of liquids.

[0100] Figure 4 shows the simulation results of the electric potential of water particles, with Figure 4A being an explanatory diagram of the simulation model and Figure 4B being the results of the electric potential simulation. As shown in Figure 4A, the simulation model is free water, with four water particles arranged in a beaded pattern in the center and two independent water particles to the left of them.

[0101] Figure 4B shows three equipotential regions in a vertical cross section along the longitudinal direction of the water particles. In the cross section on the far right, where the water particles are arranged in a beaded array, the water particles in the beaded array are shown to be equipotential. In addition, the four beaded arrayed water particle regions in the center of the drawing are colored in approximately the same color, which indicates that the electric potentials of the four beaded arrayed water particle regions are approximately equal.

[0102] Since electric field lines run through the four water particles arranged in a cascade, it can be seen that these four water particles are attracted to each other. Furthermore, since electric field lines run from the four water particles arranged in a cascade to the two independent water particles located to the left of the four water particles arranged in a cascade, it is thought that a force is acting on these two independent water particles in the direction of attraction toward the four water particles arranged in a cascade, and it is possible that the two independent water particles will join the arrangement of the four water particles arranged in a cascade.

[0103] [Reduction of interfacial tension] When an electromagnetic field is applied to a W / O emulsion (for example, water droplets in edible oil) using the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment, the interfacial tension can be reduced. In this case, the interfacial tension can be reduced by, for example, 10% or more, and depending on the electromagnetic field conditions, even 20% or more. Furthermore, by appropriately controlling the DC component voltage and AC component voltage, for example, the interfacial tension can be reduced by 60% or more. This is thought to be due to an increase in interfacial polarization caused by the application of an electromagnetic field.

[0104] For example, when cooking food in cooking oil, when the water contained in the food turns into steam in the cooking oil, the water droplets that detach from the food into the cooking oil are microdroplets. If such microdroplets have sufficient interfacial polarization to reduce the interfacial tension, they form a beaded array due to dipole-dipole attraction. When frying food in cooking oil using a fryer, the interfacial tension at the oil / water interface can be reduced by placing the pair of electrodes 13, 14 of the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment on the fryer.

[0105] The interfacial tension is not limited to the interface between water and oil, but can also be controlled to reduce the interfacial tension at any interface between two types of liquid, between a liquid and a gas, or between a liquid and a solid, as long as at least one of the phases contains a liquid.

[0106] 5 and 6 are graphs showing the reduction in interfacial tension between edible oil and water by the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment. FIG. 5 is a graph of the interfacial tension between edible oil and water when the frequency and voltage value (0 to 75 V) of the applied voltage are changed, and FIG. 6 is a graph of the interfacial tension between edible oil and water when the frequency and voltage value (0 to 150 V) of the voltage applied to the electrodes are changed. Unlike the measurement device described above in the section "Reduction in Interfacial Tension," FIGS. 5 and 6 show measurements using a cylindrical container with water in the bottom layer and edible oil in the top layer, with their interfaces in contact. A pair of stainless steel electrodes was inserted into the container, and AC voltages of various frequencies and voltage values ​​were applied to measure the interfacial tension between edible oil and water. A Face Automatic Surface Tensiometer (Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.) was used to measure the interfacial tension. Although a pair of flat electrodes was used as the electrodes, this is not limited to this. For example, a curved electrode that fits along the inner wall of a cylindrical container, or a flexible electrode such as stainless steel foil may be arranged along the inner surface of the container.

[0107] FIG. 5 is a graph showing the interfacial tension between edible oil and water when the frequency of the AC voltage applied to the electrodes is varied between 10 kHz and 50 kHz and the voltage is varied between 0 V and 75 V. From FIG. 5, it can be seen that the interfacial tension between edible oil and water is correlated with the frequency and voltage value of the AC voltage applied to the electrodes. That is, the interfacial tension decreases as the frequency decreases from 50 kHz to 20 kHz and then to 10 kHz. Furthermore, the interfacial tension decreases as the voltage value increases from 0 V to 75 V. Therefore, by utilizing the correlation between these interfacial tensions and the frequency and voltage value of the AC voltage applied to the electrodes, the liquid control device 1 can control the interfacial tension by adjusting the applied voltage. For example, when the liquid control device 1 is applied to a fryer, as described above, a decrease in interfacial tension causes the water contained in food to disperse as small droplets in the cooking oil. This reduces the amount of bumping that occurs when the water vaporizes in the heated cooking oil. By controlling the interfacial tension with the liquid control device 1, the degree of bumping can be adjusted, enabling the voltage applied to the electrodes to be set according to various cooking conditions in the fryer, the type, state, and amount of ingredients, etc. This allows the interfacial tension to be appropriately controlled by applying an appropriate voltage to the electrodes, even when different cooking conditions are used in the fryer, resulting in excellent texture and flavor for the cooked food. This is also useful for feedback control of the voltage applied to the electrodes. Furthermore, because interfacial tension can be measured and predicted, it can also be used as one of the control parameters.

[0108] FIG. 6 is a graph of the interfacial tension between edible oil and water when the AC voltage applied to the electrodes is varied between 10 kHz and 20 kHz and between 0 V and 160 V. FIG. 6 shows an example of measurements using a specific experimental setup. While these results cannot be applied to all measurement systems, they demonstrate a correlation between the interfacial tension and the frequency and voltage value of the AC voltage applied to the electrodes. By utilizing this correlation and adjusting the frequency and voltage value of the AC voltage applied to the electrodes, it is possible to optimize the interfacial tension. By clarifying the relationship between the effects of the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment and interfacial tension, it is possible to optimize the effects of the device in relation to interfacial tension not only in fryers but also in other applications, such as refrigeration and storage. Because the interfacial tension is relatively easy to measure, optimizing the liquid control device 1 of this embodiment by analyzing the relationship with interfacial tension allows for more appropriate and easier control of the voltage applied to the electrodes.

[0109] 5 and 6, the reduction in interfacial tension between an aqueous phase and an oil phase has been described, but the interfacial tension between a liquid phase and a phase other than the liquid can also be controlled by controlling the applied electromagnetic field. Control of the interfacial tension of a liquid can be applied not only to the interfacial tension between a liquid phase and another liquid phase, but also to the interfacial tension between a liquid phase and a gas phase and between a liquid and a solid phase. For example, by applying an electromagnetic field using the liquid control device of this embodiment, it is possible to control the interfacial tension, the contact angle, etc.

[0110] Figure 7 is a photograph of water droplets dripping into oil. It shows the situation when saline solution is dripped from a thin tube (a metal straw with a diameter of 1.0 mm) into cooking oil with a ring-shaped electrode surrounding the tip of the thin tube and a voltage of 100 V applied between the thin tube and the ring-shaped electrode. When no voltage is applied, the water droplets do not drip into the oil. When voltage is applied, the interfacial tension between the cooking oil and the saline solution decreases, causing the water droplets to drip into the oil. Figure 7 shows that tiny bubbles are scattered around the dripping water droplets. When voltage is applied, the interfacial tension decreases, so not only does the droplet size become smaller, but tiny bubbles are also generated as the water droplets drip.

[0111] When voltage is applied, droplets of saline solution are dropped into cooking oil. The moment the droplets dropped was observed with a high-speed camera. Figure 8A shows the state before voltage application, Figure 8B shows the state at the start of voltage application, and Figure 8C shows the state after voltage application, with the order of Figures 8A, 8B, and 8C being in chronological order. When voltage is applied, tiny water bubbles can be seen, as shown in Figures 8B and 8C. Note that in some areas, it is difficult to distinguish them from the gas generated from the electrodes due to electrolysis.

[0112] The liquid control device of this embodiment can control the formation of microbubbles of water droplets in oil by controlling the interfacial tension to decrease, for example, and thereby generate, for example, water-in-oil (W / O) or oil-in-water (O / W) emulsions, and can also control the quality of the emulsion, such as its stability, to be improved. Furthermore, emulsions are not limited to two-phase emulsions; three- or more-phase emulsions are also possible. While the emulsion shown here is an example of a mixture of two phases, a water phase and an oil phase, the liquid control device of this embodiment can be used to control the mixing, stirring, or kneading of any two or more phases, such as two types of liquids or a liquid and a solid, as long as one of the phases contains a liquid. Hereinafter, the term "control of emulsion" will be used simply, but this control also includes control of the mixture of any two or more phases.

[0113] By controlling the electromagnetic field applied to a substance using the liquid control device of this embodiment, it is possible to act on the moisture present inside or on the surface of the substance, preventing, suppressing or controlling the deterioration of the moisture, clouding of the moisture, discoloration, algae growth, slime, rust or mold.

[0114] [Variation 1] A liquid control device according to Modification 1 will be described with reference to Figure 9. Figure 9 is a conceptual diagram of electrodes according to Modification 1. The same components as those in Figures 1 to 8 are designated by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted. The liquid control device according to Modification 1 differs from the liquid control device according to the first embodiment in that it has two pairs of electrodes.

[0115] The liquid control device 1A includes controllers 10A and 10B and two pairs of electrodes: first electrodes 13 and 14 and second electrodes 15 and 16. Each of the controllers 10A and 10B includes an AC component voltage generator and a DC component voltage generator. The actual circuit configuration of the controller 10 does not require separate AC component voltage generators and DC component voltage generators; a circuit configuration that combines the functions of both is also possible. The two controllers 10A and 10B can also be configured as a single controller. If similar electromagnetic waves are generated from the first electrodes 13 and 14 and the second electrodes 15 and 16, a single controller may apply voltages to both the first electrodes 13 and 14 and the second electrodes 15 and 16.

[0116] The liquid control device 1A is driven by controllers 10A and 10B, and an electric field is generated between the pair of first electrodes 13 and 14 and the pair of second electrodes 15 and 16. At this time, the electrodes 13 to 16 each function as an antenna, and electromagnetic waves are emitted between the first electrodes 13 and 14 and between the second electrodes 15 and 16, thereby generating an electromagnetic field. Therefore, at least one of an electric field, a magnetic field, an electromagnetic field, and an electromagnetic wave is generated between the electrodes 13 to 14 and between the electrodes 15 to 16. As in the first embodiment, sound waves and / or ultrasound waves can be generated between the electrodes by vibrating the electrodes 13 and 14 by electrical, magnetic, or mechanical means. Furthermore, when water molecules are vibrated by predetermined sound waves and / or ultrasound, the water molecules can be aligned even when no voltage is applied between the electrodes.

[0117] The substance to be treated is placed between the first electrodes 13 and 14 and the second electrodes 15 and 16. As in the first embodiment, the substance to be treated is not particularly limited as long as it is at least one of a solid, a liquid, and a gas. When the liquid control device 1A of this embodiment is installed in a refrigerator, for example, the first electrodes 13 and 14 can be installed on the side of the refrigerator interior, and the second electrodes 15 and 16 can be installed on the ceiling, bottom, or shelf of the refrigerator. While FIG. 9 shows an example in which the first electrodes 13 and 14 and the second electrodes 15 and 16 are arranged orthogonally, the present invention is not limited to this. The first electrodes 13 and 14 and the second electrodes 15 and 16 may be arranged in any manner as long as at least a portion of the electromagnetic fields generated by the first electrodes 13 and 14 and the second electrodes 15 and 16 act on the substance to be treated.

[0118] The controllers 10A and 10B feedback-control at least one of the current value, voltage value, frequency, and phase applied to the electrodes based on detection signals from a detection unit (not shown). The detection unit includes at least one of a voltage sensor that detects the voltage applied to the electrodes, a current sensor that detects the current applied to the electrodes, a frequency sensor that detects the frequency of the voltage and / or current applied to the electrodes, a magnetic field sensor that detects the magnetic field between the electrodes 13-14, 15-16, an electric field sensor that detects the electric field between the electrodes 13-14, 15-16, a voltage phase detection sensor, a current phase detection sensor, and a voltage and current phase detection sensor.

[0119] At least one control target value of the current value, voltage value, frequency, and phase in controllers 10A and 10B is set according to the type and state of the material to be treated. The current, voltage, frequency, and phase applied by controller 10A to first electrodes 13 and 14 may be the same as or different from the current, voltage, frequency, and phase applied by controller 10B to second electrodes 15 and 16. For example, various combinations are possible, such as different voltages and frequencies, different frequencies, or different frequencies and phases.

[0120] This control target value can be set remotely via a communication device (not shown). It is also possible to remotely control the control parameters and control amounts of the controllers 10A, 10B. This allows the controllers 10A, 10B of multiple liquid control devices 1A to be centrally managed by a management server 40 located at a remote location, allowing each controller 10A, 10B to be appropriately controlled. However, the mode of control of the controllers 10A, 10B is not limited to remote control from the management server 40. For example, it is also possible to individually control the controllers 10A, 10B of each liquid control device 1A by directly setting a control target value or setting control parameters in each controller 10A, 10B.

[0121] The management server 40 can also be a cloud server installed on a cloud. One or more liquid control devices are connected to the cloud server via a network, and the control information for each liquid control device is managed by the cloud server. Optimal control parameters corresponding to the target area and its state are set based on the information from the cloud server. The cloud server also collects data on each control result. For example, the cloud server stores data on the voltage, current, frequency, interfacial tension, etc., for the target object, target area, and its state, and sets the control parameters for the controller of each liquid control device based on this data. The cloud server may directly transmit target values ​​for the voltage and frequency to be applied to the electrodes as control parameters to the controller. Alternatively, the cloud server may transmit data such as interfacial tension corresponding to the target object and its state, which is necessary to calculate the voltage and frequency to be applied to the electrodes, and the controller may then calculate the target values. In the former case, the target values ​​can be set from the cloud server, eliminating the need for an operator on-site to perform the setting work. In the liquid control device of this embodiment, multiple types of controllers can be prepared depending on the object, target portion, type and state of the object or target portion, control goal, etc., but by using the same controller and setting various target values, it can be applied to the control of various objects. Using various historical data collected by the cloud server, optimal control parameters can be determined by machine learning, as described below. Furthermore, as described below, when setting the control parameters, a dummy measuring device for parameter measurement can be used, which can sense the electric field applied from the electrodes of the liquid control device.

[0122] 9, an electromagnetic field is applied from two pairs of orthogonal electrodes (X-direction electrodes 13 and 14 and Y-direction electrodes 15 and 16). By controlling the current or voltage applied to each electrode, the strength and direction of the electromagnetic field generated between the electrodes can be adjusted, making it possible to control the alignment direction of water molecules or water particles. The current or voltage applied to the X-direction electrodes 13 and 14 is controlled by controller 10A, and the current or voltage applied to the Y-direction electrodes 15 and 16 is controlled by controller 10B. For example, by adjusting the ratio of the voltage applied to the X-direction electrodes 13 and 14 to the voltage applied to the Y-direction electrodes 15 and 16, the strength and direction of the electromagnetic field generated by each electrode can be adjusted. This allows water inside or on the surface of a material placed in this electromagnetic field to be atomized, and the alignment state of the atomized water can be controlled in a desired direction. Since not only AC voltage but also DC voltage can be applied to each electrode, adjusting the DC voltage component makes it possible to control the orientation of water molecules inside or on the surface of a substance placed in the electromagnetic field generated by each electrode in any two-dimensional direction in the X- and Y-coordinates. By adding another pair of Z-direction electrodes (not shown) and controller 10C to the two pairs of electrodes shown in FIG. 9 (X-direction electrodes 13, 14 and Y-direction electrodes 15, 16), electromagnetic waves of desired direction and strength can be generated in three-dimensional space. This makes it possible to control the orientation of water molecules inside or on the surface of a substance placed in the electromagnetic field generated by each electrode in any three-dimensional direction. As described below, the liquid control device of this embodiment can improve the properties of a substance by atomizing water molecules inside or on the surface of the substance, controlling the state of their cascade arrangement in a specific direction, and controlling the direction of this arrangement.

[0123] FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram of different electrodes in Modification 1. FIG. 10A shows an example using one electrode, and FIG. 10B shows an example using one electrode and two electrodes facing the electrode. While the first embodiment uses a pair of electrodes and the second embodiment uses two pairs of electrodes, the present invention is not limited to these. For example, it is also possible to use one electrode or an odd number of electrodes, such as three. For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, electromagnetic waves can be generated using a single electrode 17. Furthermore, when using three electrodes, for example, it is possible to arrange two electrodes 19 and 20 opposite one electrode 18, as shown in FIG. 10B, or to generate different electromagnetic waves from three electrodes. Therefore, the number and arrangement of electrodes can be set arbitrarily and are not limited.

[0124] [Variation 2] A liquid control device according to Modification 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 11 and 12. Figure 11 is a waveform diagram when voltages of different frequencies are used according to Modification 2, and Figure 12 is a waveform diagram when voltages of different phases are used according to Modification 2. The same reference numerals are used for the same components as in Figures 11 to 12, and the description thereof will be omitted. The liquid control device according to Modification 2 differs from Embodiment 1 and Modification 1 in that different electromagnetic waves are generated from a pair of electrodes.

[0125] 11, an electromagnetic wave (P wave) with a frequency of 50 kHz is generated from one electrode 21A of a pair of electrodes 21A, 21B, and an electromagnetic wave (Q wave) with a frequency of 47 kHz is generated from the other electrode 21B. Here, if the amplitude of the electromagnetic wave is A, the P wave and the Q wave are respectively expressed by the following equations. Note that these equations are expressed as positions where V(t)=0 at time t=0 (for example, the position exactly midway between both electrodes 21A and 21B). P wave:V(t)=Asin(2πf1t),f1=50kHz Q wave: V(t)=Asin(2πf2t),f2=47kHz As a result, an electromagnetic wave of P waves+Q waves is applied between the pair of electrodes 21A and 21B as shown in FIG. 11C.

[0126] In Figure 12, an electromagnetic wave (P wave) with a frequency of 50 kHz is generated from one electrode 22A of a pair of electrodes 22A, 22B, and an electromagnetic wave (Q wave) with a frequency of 30 kHz is generated from the other electrode 22B. The phase α of both waveforms is the same, α = 0. Here, if the amplitude of the electromagnetic wave is A, the P wave and Q wave are respectively expressed by the following equations. Note that these equations are expressed as positions where V(t) = 0 at time t = 0 (for example, exactly midway between both electrodes 21A and 21B). P wave:V(t)=Asin(2πf1t),f1=50kHz Q wave: V(t)=Asin(2πf2t),f2=30kHz As a result, an electromagnetic wave of P waves+Q waves is applied between the pair of electrodes 22A and 22B as shown in FIG. 12B.

[0127] In Figure 12C, one electrode 23A of a pair of electrodes 23A, 23B generates an electromagnetic wave (P wave) with a frequency of 50 kHz and a phase α = 0, and the other electrode 23B generates an electromagnetic wave (Q wave) with a frequency of 30 kHz and a phase α = π / 2. In other words, the phase of both waveforms is set to π / 2. Here, if the amplitude of the electromagnetic wave is A, the P wave and the Q wave are respectively expressed by the following equations. Note that these equations are expressed as the position where the P wave V(t) = 0 and the Q wave V(t) = A at time t = 0 (for example, the position exactly midway between both electrodes 21A, 21B). P wave:V(t)=Asin(2πf1t),f1=50kHz Q wave: V(t)=Asin(2πf2t+π / 2),f2=30kHz As a result, an electromagnetic wave of P waves+Q waves is applied between the pair of electrodes 23A and 23B as shown in FIG. 12D.

[0128] In Figures 11 and 12, electromagnetic waves with different frequencies and / or phases are generated from both electrodes, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is possible to control the peak-to-peak voltage of the electromagnetic waves by adjusting the AC component voltage applied to both electrodes, to adjust the DC component voltage applied to both electrodes and apply the DC component voltage as an offset voltage to the AC component voltage, to apply different DC component voltages to both electrodes, or to make different the peak-to-peak voltage values, frequencies, and phases of the AC component voltages applied to both electrodes.

[0129] [Variation 3] A liquid control device according to Modification 3 of Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 13. Figure 13 is a block diagram of the liquid control device 1. The same components as those in Figures 1 to 12 will be designated by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted.

[0130] Fig. 13 is a block diagram corresponding to Fig. 1. However, the communication unit 35, the storage unit 37, the external power supply 39, and the like are omitted. That is, in reality, the control unit 36 ​​communicates with the management server 40 and the like via the communication unit 35, inputs and outputs data to and from the storage unit 37, is supplied with power from the external power supply 39, and controls the current / voltage application unit 11 via the current / voltage control unit 33, but these operations are omitted in Fig. 13. Also, in Fig. 13, the controller 10 is shown outside the housing 50 (for example, a refrigerator), but this is not limiting, and the controller 10 can also be provided inside the housing 50, for example.

[0131] Flows (a) to (h) in FIG. 13 will be described in order. In flow (a), settings for the controller 10, such as the on / off state of the controller 10, the operating mode, the type and state of the substance, and the output voltage and / or output current of the current / voltage application unit 11, are input through the man-machine interface 31. Examples of operating modes include an automatic mode, a substance input mode, and a manual setting mode. In the automatic mode, the controller 10 is automatically controlled to maintain the substance in an appropriate state in accordance with, for example, the detection signal from the substance detection unit 32, the detection signal from the detection unit 38, and the control parameters and control values ​​from the management server 40, as described below. In the substance input mode, the type and state of the substance are input through, for example, the man-machine interface 31, and the controller 10 is appropriately controlled in accordance with the substance. In the manual setting mode, for example, the output voltage and / or output current of the current / voltage application unit 11 is manually set. The following description will be given taking the automatic mode as an example unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, in the flow (a), if the housing 50 has an automatic adjustment function, it may be possible to input setting values ​​for the housing 50 from the man-machine interface 31.

[0132] In flow (b), information about a substance is collected from substance detection unit 32 in response to a command from control unit 36. For example, if housing 50 is a refrigerator, the information about the substance collected by substance detection unit 32 includes images from an in-container camera, detection signals related to the moisture content of food from a moisture content sensor, and detection signals from temperature and humidity sensors (including detection signals from sensors built into the refrigerator). Also, if housing 50 is a container, the information about the substance collected by substance detection unit 32 includes images from an in-container camera, detection signals from temperature and humidity sensors inside the container, and signals from a GPS provided in the container (note that the GPS can also be provided in controller 10). Here, an example has been described in which the housing 50 is a refrigerator, but the present embodiment is not limited to this, and examples of the housing 50 include a treatment table, a procedure table, a simple bed, an electromagnetic treatment device, an electric potential treatment device, a low-frequency treatment device, an EMS, a massage device, a facial beauty device, a vibration device, a cavitation device, a microbubble device, a micro-nano bubble device, a nanobubble device, a fine valve device, a terahertz device, a high-frequency device, a quantum treatment device, a hair growth device, a cellulite device, a muscle relaxation device, an ultrasonic treatment device, an ozone generator, a hydrogen generator, an LED device, a beauty device, a slimming device, or an instrument, device, apparatus, or facility equipped with a storage container, etc. Information related to the substance collected by the substance detection unit 32 includes information from a treatment or treatment camera or sensor, information collected or processed by the various devices described above, information from a storage container or a storage device, etc.

[0133] In flow (c), information about substances collected from substance detection unit 32 in response to a command from CPU 36 is transmitted to management server 40 via communication unit 35. Note that when the setting in flow (a) is the substance input mode, information about the type and state of the substance input from man-machine interface 31, for example, is transmitted to management server 40.

[0134] Furthermore, when the setting in flow (a) is the manual setting mode, for example, information on the output voltage and / or output current of current / voltage application unit 11 may be transmitted to management server 40, and predetermined corrections may be made in management server 40, after which predetermined control parameters and control values ​​may be transmitted from management server 40 to control unit 36. Furthermore, for example, in order to collect information in management server 40, the output voltage and / or output current of current / voltage application unit 11 that have been manually set may be transmitted to management server 40, and the control values ​​may be calculated in control unit 36. Furthermore, for example, when the correction of the control values ​​and information collection described above in management server 40 are not required, there is no need to transmit information on the output voltage and / or output current to management server 40 in flow (c).

[0135] Management server 40 calculates appropriate control parameters and control values ​​for the type and state of the substance. Furthermore, when calculating the control parameters and control values, management server 40 can refer to information other than the type and state of the substance, such as the season, weather, weather forecast, date and time, location, supply and demand forecast, refrigerator entry / exit and storage status, container transport route and traffic status, the status of a group of containers related to the container, inventory management information, supply and demand status, economic indicators, and web information, by communicating with database 43, etc. Furthermore, management server 40 collects treatment or procedure information for each liquid control device, i.e., information such as reservation information, treatment content, treatment content, object to be treated, target area, treatment purpose, and processing purpose.

[0136] Among the substance-related information collected by the substance detection unit 32, the management server 40 can use image recognition to determine the type and state of a substance from camera footage. This image recognition can be performed using, for example, AI trained by deep learning to accurately recognize the type and state of a substance. That is, a neural network trained on camera footage of food and data relating to the actual type and state of that food can be used to accurately recognize the type and state of a substance from the camera footage. The server can also communicate with other controllers 10 to accumulate a large amount of image recognition data, thereby further improving the accuracy of image recognition for a variety of substances. If the controller 10 is equipped with an AI program, the control unit 36 ​​can perform image recognition using a learning model trained by the management server 40, and the image recognition results can be transmitted to the server 40 in flow (c). Performing image recognition in the controller 10 in this manner can reduce the amount of data transmission in flow (c).

[0137] In flow (d), the control parameters and control values ​​calculated in the management server 40 are sent to the control unit 36 ​​of the controller 10.

[0138] The management server can also be a cloud server installed on a cloud. One or more liquid control devices are connected to the cloud server via a network, and the control information for each liquid control device is managed by the cloud server. Appropriate control parameters corresponding to the target area and state are set based on information from the cloud server. The cloud server also collects data on each control result. For example, the cloud server stores data on the voltage, current, frequency, interfacial tension, etc., for the target object, target area, and state of the object. The cloud server sets the control parameters for the controller of each liquid control device based on this data. The cloud server may directly transmit target values ​​for the voltage and frequency to be applied to the electrodes as control parameters to the controller. Alternatively, the cloud server may transmit data such as interfacial tension corresponding to the target object and its state, which is necessary to calculate the voltage and frequency to be applied to the electrodes, to the controller, and the controller may calculate the target values. In the former case, the target values ​​can be set from the cloud server, eliminating the need for an operator on-site to perform the setting work. In the liquid control device of this embodiment, multiple types of controllers can be prepared depending on the object, target area, type and condition of the object or target area, control target, etc., but by using the same controller to set various target values, it can be applied to the control of various objects.

[0139] To set various target values ​​using the same controller, it is preferable to use AI to set control parameters. Optimal control parameters can be determined by performing machine learning using various historical data collected by the cloud server. The type of machine learning is not particularly limited, but deep learning, for example, can be used. Data on each control parameter and its corresponding control result can be used as training data. Since the control result data of other liquid control devices connected to the network is also collected by the cloud server, big data such as various environmental data, mechanical data, target part data, and situation data can be obtained in addition to data on each control parameter and its corresponding control result. This big data can be used as training data to train a learning model through machine learning. Using the trained learning model, appropriate control parameters can be set according to the target object, target part, and target situation. Data detected by the substance detection unit 32 and detection unit 38 of Variation 3 described below can also be collected by the cloud server, and this data can also be used as training data for machine learning. Note that machine learning for image recognition in the substance detection unit 32 described below can be performed on the cloud server along with the calculation of control parameters.

[0140] As described above, settings for the controller 10, such as the on / off state of the controller 10, the operating mode, the type and state of the substance, and the output voltage and / or output current of the current / voltage application unit 11, are input through the man-machine interface 31, e.g., a PC, tablet device, smartphone, or mobile phone. Because the liquid control device of this embodiment can control a variety of objects, it is preferable to enable interactive input of settings for the controller 10 through the man-machine interface 31. Furthermore, by connecting to a reservation system or management system installed in the facility, hospital, or clinic where the liquid control device of this embodiment is installed, the liquid control device can input information such as the planned date and time of use, the object, the object site, the state of the object and the object site, and the control target into the liquid control device from reservation information, schedule information, management information, etc. The input information is not particularly limited, but examples of the state of the object and the object site include information on the subject's physical condition and symptoms, such as height, weight, body temperature, blood pressure, and blood glucose level, as well as information on a medical questionnaire, medical record information, and history information. Examples of the control target include information such as treatment goals, treatment guidelines, and treatment plans. When inputting set values ​​related to treatment details, input methods can be adopted, such as a doctor or medical staff checking and confirming the subject's input, or a doctor or medical staff entering the results of a medical interview with the subject. Input information is preferably input from the treatment system, so it also includes information such as medical records and treatment history. Machine learning for setting the control parameters described above can utilize these various input information, information detected by the substance detection unit 32 and the detection unit 38 of Variation 3 described below, information and image information from treatment or treatment devices used with the liquid control device installed in facilities, hospitals, clinics, etc., control result data for the liquid control device, medical information and progress information for the subject after treatment, medical examination information and history information for the subject, calibration information using a dummy measuring device described below, and so on. Machine learning for image recognition from image information input from the substance detection unit 32 can be performed individually, or the image information can be collectively performed as machine learning for setting control parameters on a cloud server.

[0141] When setting the control parameters, a dummy measuring device for parameter measurement can be used, which can sense the electric field applied from the electrodes of the liquid control device. The dummy measuring device is equipped with an electric field measuring device and can measure the electric field applied from the electrodes of the liquid control device. The controller of the liquid control device or the cloud server stores data such as the optimal electric field for the object according to the characteristics of the object, the target voltage and frequency of the electrodes, and the relationship between the electric field and the interfacial tension of the liquid. Based on this stored data, feedback data of the electric field detected by the dummy measuring device can be used to calibrate the voltage value and frequency of the voltage applied to the electrodes of the liquid control device so that an appropriate electric field can be applied to the object according to the current type and arrangement of the electrodes of the liquid control device. Information on the calibration of the appropriate electric field according to the type and arrangement of the electrodes can also be collected by the cloud server and used for machine learning of the optimal control parameters. Control parameters include at least data such as the voltage, current, and frequency applied to the electrodes, and the electric field applied from the electrodes to the object. Alternatively, instead of using a dummy measuring device, the electrodes themselves may be equipped with an electric field measurement function. For example, it is possible to calculate the value of the electric field applied from the electrode based on the inductance and capacitance of the electrode, the current flowing through the electrode, and the like.

[0142] When setting the control parameters, various control objects and control goals can be set, including, but not limited to, the following: infarction, necrosis, bedsore, burn, removal of active oxygen, removal of lactic acid, improvement of blood flow, improvement of lymphatic flow, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, thrombosis, embolism, arteriosclerosis, improvement or prevention of clogging of body fluids, medicinal solutions, cosmetics, or liquids, improvement of fluidity of body fluids, medicinal solutions, cosmetics, or liquids, improvement or prevention of induration or hardening, improvement or prevention of syneresis of cells or tissues, cell edema, neuronal edema, edema, pulmonary edema, joint edema, ascites, insulin secretion disorder, excretion disorder, excretion difficulty, constipation, urinary disorder, congestion, blisters, drug delivery. -improvement, reduction of viscosity of drug solutions or body fluids, cell culture, regenerative medicine, shortening of culture time in regenerative medicine, improvement of culture quality or improvement of culture efficiency, cell tissue regeneration, reduction of lactic acid, swelling, enlargement, edema, fluid retention, dehydration of extracellular or intracellular fluid, skin diseases, pigmentation, melasma, freckles, epidermal wrinkles, dermal wrinkles, expression wrinkles, xerosis, physical condition improvement, hardening, muscle hardening, fascial release, improvement of fascial potential, nerve deformity disease, fascial electromagnetic therapy, muscle imbalance, improvement of fascial potential balance, improvement of body balance, improvement of fascial balance Improving occlusion, improving osteopathy, improving osteopathy, improving or preventing fractures or joint diseases, improving the balance of endocrine, lymphatic, or meridians, fractures, joint diseases, skin care, moisturizing, improving fertility, infertility, improving sperm motility, sperm activity, egg activity, mitochondrial activity, autophagy activity, PMS, pain, itching, abnormal sensations, sensitivity to cold, frigidity, convulsions, anti-aging, hair follicle care, improving menopausal symptoms, improving cleansing, alopecia, AGA, ED, promoting lipolysis, improving contact lens comfort, dry eyes, improving eyesight , improvement of dynamic vision, sleep disorders, sleep improvement, sleep apnea syndrome, preventive medicine improvement, nerve cell improvement, cell edema improvement, virus, bacteria, or mold prevention, cancer, glaucoma, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, eye diseases, hearing loss, hearing impairment, visual impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, sleep improvement, beauty improvement, health promotion, motor function improvement, water balance, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, hematological diseases, renal diseases, endocrine diseases, internal diseases, blood pressure improvement or normalization, pulseOr improvement or enhancement of heart rate, improvement or enhancement of respiratory or pulmonary function, improvement or enhancement of dialysis function, osteopathic therapy, improvement of rigor mortis, preservation, freezing, thawing, culture or improvement of organs, body fluids, blood, cells, tissues, skin, teeth, bones, joints, hair, corpses, DNA, stem cells, sperm, eggs, medicines, cosmetics or liquids, or improvement of logistics, electrodes used for preservation, freezing, thawing, culture or logistics of organs, body fluids, blood, cells, tissues, skin, teeth, bones, joints, hair, corpses, DNA, stem cells, sperm, eggs, medicines, cosmetics or liquids, etc. Improvement of stone containers, improvement of efficacy or quality of medicines, cosmetics, or liquids, improvement of extraction of bodily fluids, medicines, cosmetics, or liquids, improvement of production of teeth, bones, joints, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, cells, skin, hair, or organs, improvement of emulsion properties, improvement of drug delivery properties, improvement of efficacy or performance of medicines, prevention of proliferation or measures against microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, or viruses, prevention of metastasis, reduction of viscosity of medicinal liquids, control of liquid vibrations, control of ectoplasm, etc.

[0143] In flow (e), the control unit 36 ​​uses the control parameters and control values ​​transmitted from the management server 40 to control the output voltage and / or output current of the current / voltage application unit 11.

[0144] In flow (f), the control unit 36 ​​feedback-controls at least one of the current value, voltage value, frequency, and phase applied to each electrode 13, 14 based on the detection signal detected by the detection unit 38. The detection signal detected by the detection unit 38 includes at least one of the voltage applied to the electrode, the current applied to the electrode, the frequency and / or phase of the voltage and / or current applied to the electrode, the magnetic field between the electrodes 13, 14, the electric field between the electrodes 13, 14, and the sound waves and / or ultrasound between the electrodes 13, 14. At this time, the control value that is fed back may be a control value calculated by the control unit 36, or may be a control value calculated by the management server 40.

[0145] Here, if the control value to be fed back is a control value calculated in the control unit 36, a control target value is transmitted from the management server 40 to the control unit 36 ​​in flow (d). Alternatively, in the case of manual mode, a set value is input as the control target value in flow (a). The control target value can be set variably over time in accordance with information about the substance collected by the substance detection unit 32. Furthermore, if the control value to be fed back is a control value calculated in the management server 40, the management server 40 transmits the detection signal detected by the detection unit 38 to the management server 40 in flow (c) in order to calculate the control value to be fed back, the management server 40 calculates the control value to be fed back, and the control value is transmitted from the management server 40 to the control unit 36 ​​in flow (d).

[0146] In this embodiment, an example using the detection unit 38 has been described, but control without using the detection unit 38 is also possible. In this case, flow (f) is omitted, and the output voltage and / or output current of the current / voltage application unit 11 is controlled by flow (e). Note that various types of control, such as sensorless control and open-loop control, can be applied to the control in this case.

[0147] In the case where the casing 50 has an automatic adjustment function, the flow (g) may be configured so that a control command from the control unit 36 ​​is sent to the casing 50. If the casing 50 is a refrigerator, the control command may be, for example, a set value for the temperature and humidity inside the refrigerator. If the casing 50 is a container and the container has a function for adjusting the temperature and humidity, the control command may be, for example, a set value for the temperature and humidity for the container. If the casing 50 is a container and the container is stored in a warehouse where the temperature and humidity can be adjusted, information regarding the adjustment of the temperature and humidity of the container is sent to the external server and the management server of the warehouse as the database 43, as described below, by the flow (i), and is used to appropriately adjust the temperature and humidity of all containers, including other containers. Note that if the casing 50 does not have an automatic adjustment function, the flow (g) is not an essential configuration. In this case, for example, in the flow (h) described below, information regarding the control command from the control unit 36 ​​is displayed on the man-machine interface 31.

[0148] In flow (h), the control status of control unit 36 ​​is displayed on man-machine interface 31, such as the control status of output voltage and / or output current of current / voltage application unit 11, information on the type and status of the substance currently being handled, the status of housing 50 (detection information from substance detection unit 32), and, if housing 50 does not have an automatic adjustment function, information on control commands to housing 50 from CPU 36. In addition to this information, man-machine interface 31 can also display, as necessary or in response to operations from man-machine interface 31, information sent from management server 40 in flow (d) in addition to control parameters and control values, such as season, weather, weather forecast, date and time, location, supply and demand forecast, refrigerator entry / exit and storage status, container transportation route and traffic status, status of a group of containers related to the container, inventory management information, supply and demand status, economic indicators, and web information. By taking this information into consideration, the operator can appropriately manage the treatment or procedure.

[0149] The man-machine interface 31 can be integrated into the controller 10. Alternatively, the man-machine interface 31 can be separate from the controller 10, or can be separate together with some of the functions of the controller 10. In this case, the man-machine interface 31 can be configured as a mobile terminal with communication capabilities, such as a smartphone, mobile phone, tablet terminal, or PC. When the man-machine interface 31 is separate together with some of the functions of the controller 10, at least one of the functions of the communication unit 35, the function of the memory unit 37, and the calculation function of the control unit 36 ​​of the controller 10, or some of these functions, can be separate from the man-machine interface 31. Furthermore, the functions of the substance detection sensor 32 and the function of the detection unit 38, or some of these functions, can also be integrated with the man-machine interface 31. For example, the camera function built into a smartphone, mobile phone, tablet terminal, or PC can be used as the substance detection unit 32.

[0150] In flow (i), the management server 40 transmits and receives information and collects data necessary for substance management by communicating with the database 43. The management server 40 can communicate with necessary external servers via the Internet. Therefore, if the housing 50 is a container, it can access, for example, the management database or management server of the warehouse that manages the container.

[0151] Furthermore, the controller can adjust at least one of the voltage value, current value, frequency or phase of a voltage or current having a DC component and / or an AC component to be applied to the electrode while the electrode is positioned opposite the target area, and control at least one of the electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic field or electromagnetic wave generated from the electrode, so as to vary over time at least one of the frequency and voltage applied to the electrode and the incidence angle of the electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic field or electromagnetic wave generated from the electrode, depending on the target area facing the electrode, or control the application time of the voltage to the electrode. When information about the object is input as a detection signal from the substance detection unit 32, a detection signal from the detection unit 38, or a setting signal from the man-machine interface, the controller controls at least one of the following, depending on the type and state of the object and based on predetermined settings of control parameters and control values ​​from the management server 40: changing the frequency and voltage applied to the electrodes over time, changing the incidence angle of the electric field, magnetic field, electromagnetic field, or electromagnetic wave generated from the electrodes, i.e., the angle of the electrodes over time, or controlling the application time of the voltage to the electrodes. The predetermined setting of the temporal change in voltage and / or frequency is not particularly limited, and a sweep characteristic such as that described in Variation 4 below can also be adopted.

[0152] [Variation 4] A liquid control device, quality control method, program, and storage medium according to Modification 4 of the present invention will be described using FIG. 14. Components similar to those in FIGS. 1 to 13 are designated by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted. In the liquid control devices 1 of Embodiment 1 and Modifications 1 to 3, the current or voltage, current value, and frequency were set to predetermined values. However, in Modification 4, the current or voltage and / or frequency are changed, i.e., swept, according to a predetermined rule and within a predetermined range. FIG. 14A shows an example in which the voltage, current, or frequency is continuously swept linearly. FIG. 14B shows an example in which the voltage, current, or frequency is changed linearly in steps. FIG. 14C shows, for example, a stepwise change in the voltage value and a continuous linear sweep in the frequency, or, for example, a stepwise change in the frequency and a continuous linear sweep in the voltage value. This makes it possible to automatically generate electromagnetic waves of an appropriate current or voltage value and / or frequency for any target. That is, an appropriate current value, voltage value, or frequency is generated at a predetermined timing within the sweep range. Note that FIG. 14C is merely an example and is not limited thereto. In FIG. 14C, one value remains constant while the other value alternates between 0 and a peak. However, this is not limiting. For example, one value may remain constant while the other value increases from 0 to a peak, and then one value changes in a step-like manner until it remains constant, at which point the other value decreases from the peak to 0. Furthermore, in FIG. 14C, one value changes in a step-like manner while the other value changes continuously and frequently from 0 to a peak. However, this is not limiting. For example, one value may change slowly and continuously while the other value changes continuously and frequently from 0 to a peak.

[0153] The sweep rule is not limited to that shown in Fig. 14, and may be a linear or step-like change, or may be, for example, a curved change, a sinusoidal change, a smooth analog change, a discrete change, a random change, etc. The AC voltage value, DC voltage value, AC current value, DC current value, frequency, etc. may be changed, and in this case, each value may be changed one by one, multiple values ​​may be changed in relation to each other (see, for example, the example of Fig. 14C), or multiple values ​​may be changed simultaneously. The sweep range may be within the ranges specified in Modifications 1 to 3, for example, or may be expanded to a wider range.

[0154] For any target, an appropriate current value, voltage value, or frequency is generated at a predetermined timing within the sweep range, but the controller 10 can grasp the state of the target through feedback from the substance detection sensor 32 or the like and analyze it in association with the pattern of change in the sweep, or by analyzing it on the server side, it is possible to automatically detect an appropriate (or optimal) current value, voltage value, or frequency. The detected appropriate value is used for subsequent control of the controller 10, and can also be shared with other controllers 10 via the server.

[0155] An example of blood flow improvement will be described below for the liquid control device of embodiment 1. In the liquid control device of this embodiment, for example, while a subject places both feet on a rectangular plate-shaped electrode placed on the floor, electromagnetic waves are generated from the electrode, and the electromagnetic waves acting on the subject are adjusted to control the subject's blood flow to be improved. The electrode may be unipolar or bipolar. If the electrode is bipolar, it has a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Although not particularly limited, the negative electrode can be at earth potential. The positive electrode and negative electrode may be arranged so as to be divided in the front-to-back or width direction of the rectangular electrode.

[0156] Although not particularly limited, a preferred arrangement of two electrodes is one in which each electrode is comb-shaped and the comb teeth of both electrodes are arranged opposite each other so that they are alternately arranged. Although the term "comb teeth" is used, the shape of the comb teeth is not limited to a plurality of vertical rectangles; any geometric shape is possible, and various shapes combining appropriate concaves and convexities and spaces can be adopted. As long as the conductivity of the electrodes and the insulation between the electrodes are ensured, the dimensions of each comb-shaped electrode are arbitrary; for example, the clearance between the electrodes can be set to approximately 0.5 mm to 50 mm, and the width of the conductive portion can be set to approximately 0.5 mm to 50 mm.

[0157] Figure 15 shows the results of blood flow improvement after 30 minutes. Figure 15 shows the results of blood flow improvement in the capillaries of the fingertips when electromagnetic waves were applied to the subject for 30 minutes by applying 50 kHz and 100 V to the electrodes from the controller. The left side shows data without application of electromagnetic waves, and the right side shows data after 30 minutes of application of electromagnetic waves. The average blood flow velocity at each of the locations (1) to (4) was improved after 30 minutes of application of electromagnetic waves by the liquid control device of this embodiment.

[0158] Although not particularly limited, in this embodiment, the blood flow velocity is measured by image analysis, whereby the movement of blood is captured and the blood flow velocity is calculated.

[0159] Figure 16 shows the results of blood flow improvement over a four-week period. Figure 16 confirms that blood flow improved when the subject was exposed to electromagnetic waves for 30 minutes every day by applying 50 kHz and 100 V to the electrodes from the controller. The four bars from the top of Figure 16 represent blood flow velocity over a five-second period, representing data from the third day, the first week, the second week, and the fourth week, from top to bottom. The bottom graph shows the change in average blood flow velocity over four weeks, confirming that blood flow improved over the course of four weeks by continuing to apply electromagnetic waves to the subject for 30 minutes every day using the liquid control device of this embodiment.

[0160] 15 and 16, the experimental results of blood flow improvement demonstrate that the liquid control device of this embodiment can improve or enhance heartbeat or pulse rate, improve or normalize blood pressure, improve or enhance dialysis function, and improve the permeability of a drug delivery system or cosmetics. Furthermore, the effects of improved blood flow contribute to improving the fluidity of not only blood but also bodily fluids such as plasma and lymph, improving bodily fluid metabolism, and stabilizing water balance. Therefore, the liquid control device of this embodiment can improve or enhance visual acuity and dynamic visual acuity, improve or prevent ophthalmic diseases, improve or prevent internal diseases, and improve or enhance immune function.

[0161] Figure 17 shows the results of ghost blood vessel revival. One subject (a woman in her 40s) was exposed to electromagnetic waves for 30 minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, and as shown in the photo in the upper right of Figure 17, ghost blood vessels in the fingertips of her hand were revived. Another subject (a man in his 70s) was exposed to electromagnetic waves for 10 minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, and as shown in the photo in the lower right, blood flow in the capillaries in the fingertips of his hand improved.

[0162] In Figures 15 to 17, a subject placed both feet on a rectangular plate electrode placed on the floor. Electromagnetic waves were generated from the electrode, and the electromagnetic waves applied to the subject were adjusted to improve the subject's blood flow. The voltage applied to the electrode was 50 kHz and 100 V. However, the voltage conditions for generating the electromagnetic waves applied to the subject are not limited to these. The frequency and voltage value of the voltage applied to the electrode can be adjusted appropriately for each subject or depending on the subject's condition. The frequency and voltage value can also be controlled to vary over time. The lower limit of the frequency is 1 Hz, which is approximately the same as the heart rate, and the upper limit is not particularly limited. For example, the setting condition can be up to 1 MHz, but this is not limited; the upper limit of the frequency can also be set in the terahertz wave range (0.1 THz to 100 THz). The range of the voltage value is not particularly limited except for the constraints of the power supply unit of the liquid control device. For example, the lower limit can be set to approximately 5 V and the upper limit can be set to approximately 2000 V.

[0163] 18 shows the results of blood flow improvement in a mouse lower limb ischemia model. When a voltage of 50 kHz and 100 V was applied to the electrodes of a mouse lower limb ischemia model (N=7) using the liquid control device of this embodiment to apply electromagnetic waves to the mice, the blood flow ratio significantly improved after 14 days.

[0164] 15 to 18, it was shown that applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment can improve or prevent clogging of body fluids, medicinal solutions, cosmetics, or liquids, improve or enhance the fluidity of body fluids, medicinal solutions, cosmetics, or liquids, improve or prevent induration or hardening, improve or prevent syneresis of cells or tissues, and remove active oxygen or lactic acid. Furthermore, it was shown that applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment can improve or prevent dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease by improving body fluid metabolism in the brain. Furthermore, it was also shown that improving immune function through improved body fluid metabolism can prevent metastasis.

[0165] [Embodiment 2] A liquid control device according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 19. FIG. 19 shows the results of a decrease in the viscosity of a contrast agent. In FIG. 19, a contrast agent administered by infusion was exposed to electromagnetic waves by applying a voltage of 50 kHz and 100 V to the electrodes using the liquid control device of this embodiment before the infusion. After applying the electromagnetic waves to the contrast agent for five minutes, the viscosity of the contrast agent was confirmed to decrease, as shown in FIG. 19. In FIG. 19, the horizontal axis represents shear rate and the vertical axis represents viscosity. For each shear rate, the bar on the right represents data obtained after applying electromagnetic waves to the contrast agent for five minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, while the bar on the left represents control data. From FIG. 19, it can be seen that the viscosity of the contrast agent was reduced more in the data obtained after applying electromagnetic waves to the contrast agent for five minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment.

[0166] Table 1 shows that the viscosity of the contrast agent in this embodiment is lower than that of the control even when the shear rate is around 100 to 1000 in Figure 19. Table 1 is a tabular representation of the data in Figure 19, and shows that the viscosity of the contrast agent in this embodiment is lower than that of the control even when the shear rate is in the range of 100 to 1000.

[0167] [Table 1]

[0168] In this embodiment, the voltage applied from the controller to the electrodes is 50 kHz and 100 V, but this embodiment is not limited to this, and the electromagnetic waves acting on the contrast agent can be controlled by adjusting the frequency and voltage value of the voltage applied from the controller to the electrodes depending on the type and state of the contrast agent.

[0169] [Embodiment 3] A fluid control device according to a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, improvement of cell edema in neural cells will be described. The fluid control device of this embodiment can micronize intracellular water by applying electromagnetic waves to a target portion. The fluid control device of this embodiment applies electromagnetic waves to the target portion by applying a voltage of, for example, 50 kHz and 100 V to the electrodes from the controller, thereby micronizing intracellular water particles to 8 μm or less, and the micronized water particles can easily pass through the cell membrane. Neuronal cell edema is caused by intracellular water accumulation due to an imbalance in the ion balance across the cell membrane. However, by micronizing water molecules within the cell using the control device of this embodiment, water can be easily expelled from the cell through the cell membrane, thereby improving cell edema. From the above, it has been demonstrated that edema, cell edema, or neuronal cell edema can be improved or prevented by controlling body fluid minimization using the fluid control device of this embodiment. Furthermore, it has been shown that by controlling the minimization of body fluids using the liquid control device of this embodiment, in addition to improving edema, it is possible to improve body fluid metabolism, improve body fluid fluidity, stabilize water balance, control the balance of hormones, endocrine system, lymph, or meridians, control mitochondrial activity, autophagy activity, egg activity, or sperm activity, and improve or prevent burns, necrosis, or bedsores.

[0170] [Embodiment 4] A liquid control device according to a fourth embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, it will be described how the liquid control device of this embodiment suppresses the proliferation of viruses, bacteria, fungi, or cancer cells. When the body's immune system is strong, the internal electrical potential is stable, interstitial fluid binds to itself, and quasi-bound liquefaction occurs, making it difficult for viruses, bacteria, fungi, or cancer cells to proliferate. In contrast, when the internal electrical potential is disrupted and the body's immune system weakens, the electrical potential between interstitial fluid is disrupted, resulting in the formation of individual nutrient-rich droplets (sometimes referred to as "extracellular free fluid"). Viruses, cells, fungi, or cancer cells bind to the extracellular free fluid and proliferate. Therefore, the liquid control device of this embodiment applies a voltage of, for example, 50 kHz and 100 V from the controller to the electrodes, thereby applying electromagnetic waves to the target area and forming a beaded structure in the interstitial fluid, thereby suppressing the proliferation of viruses, bacteria, fungi, or cancer cells.

[0171] [Embodiment 5] A liquid control device according to embodiment 5 will be described. In embodiment 5, the antibacterial action and infection prevention action against bacteria and viruses by the liquid control device of this embodiment will be described.

[0172] First, we will explain the antibacterial effect against enveloped viruses, such as influenza viruses (H1N1) and coronaviruses. When the liquid control device of this embodiment applies a voltage of, for example, 50 kHz and 100 V from the controller to the electrodes, electromagnetic waves are applied to the target area. This reduces the interfacial tension of water, destroying the envelope of enveloped viruses, and the liquid control device of this embodiment exhibits an antibacterial effect against enveloped viruses. As shown in Table 2, the antibacterial activity of the liquid control device of this embodiment against the H1N1 virus was 1.12 (antibacterial activity rate 92.45%).

[0173] [Table 2]

[0174] Next, when electromagnetic waves are applied to the affected part of the body using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the transportability of immune cells is improved by improving blood flow as described above, thereby improving immune function, which is effective in preventing infection.

[0175] Furthermore, when electromagnetic waves are applied to the treatment section using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the free water molecules in the cells bond together in a beaded array, creating a stable state similar to bound water, which prevents the supply of water to bacteria and viruses. Figure 20 shows the antibacterial effect of the liquid control device of this embodiment against anthrax bacteria. When treated with the liquid control device of this embodiment for one day, as shown in the upper graph of Figure 20, the antibacterial effect against FI anthrax bacteria is clear. When treated with the liquid control device of this embodiment for two days, as shown in the lower graph of Figure 20, the antibacterial effect against both FI anthrax bacteria and FK anthrax bacteria is clear.

[0176] [Embodiment 6] A liquid control device according to embodiment 6 will be described. In embodiment 6, the use of the liquid control device of this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the voltage and frequency applied to the electrodes in each experimental example are 50 KHz and 100 V unless otherwise specified, but this embodiment is not limited to these values, and the target values ​​are appropriately set by the cloud server and controller within ranges of, for example, 0 to 1 MHz and 0 to 7000 V depending on the object, target site, condition of the target site, and the treatment or procedure.

[0177] By applying an electric field from the electrodes to the target site using the liquid control device of this embodiment, interfacial polarization of the liquid increases and interfacial tension decreases, thereby atomizing the liquid particles and controlling the arrangement of the atomized liquid particles in a beaded configuration. Furthermore, the emulsion state of the atomized liquid is improved. That is, by atomizing two liquids and improving the degree of mixing of the two liquids, it is possible to achieve a state in which, for example, oil is well dispersed in water or water is well dispersed in oil. Furthermore, it is possible to control the mixing of three or more phases to be good. For example, the liquid control device of this embodiment can control the minimization of bodily fluids, improving the fluidity of bodily fluids, improving bodily fluid metabolism, stabilizing water balance, and improving physical condition. Furthermore, by arranging the liquid particles in a beaded configuration, the proliferation of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and viruses is prevented. Furthermore, by improving the quality of the emulsion and performing good mixing, it is possible to improve or control the development of teeth, bones, joints, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, cells, skin, hair, or organs. The wide range of application of the liquid control device of this embodiment, as well as its functions, actions, and effects, will be explained below with various experimental examples.

[0178] By applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the interfacial tension of the liquid decreases, and the liquid particles are atomized, making it possible to perform the following control. -Improvement of congestion, edema, congestion, swelling, and infarction - Promotes growth, improves germination rate, and improves yield Maintains freshness, improves taste and aroma ·Suppression of oxidation and aging ·Quality maintenance, deterioration prevention, strength improvement, fluidity improvement, clogging prevention Reduced oil penetration and steam explosion -Removal of active oxygen, improvement of redox

[0179] Furthermore, by applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the atomized liquid particles are controlled to be arranged in a bead-like pattern, which makes it possible to perform the following control. Dry skin, always fresh skin - Inhibits the growth of viruses and microorganisms, putrefaction, necrosis, and bedsores - Suppression of bacteria, mold, algae, and odors Reduced syneresis, aroma, freshness maintenance, quality, oxidation suppression, extended shelf life ·Improve strength, maintain quality, prevent deterioration ·Separation and syneresis control

[0180] Furthermore, by applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the emulsification properties of the atomized liquid particles are improved, making the following control possible. ·Improve quality, performance, and effectiveness ·Maintain quality, prevent deterioration, improve strength ·Separation and syneresis control

[0181] The liquid control device of this embodiment performs bodily fluid minimization control using a technology in which the interfacial tension of the liquid is reduced by applying an electric field, causing the liquid particles to break down into fine particles. By performing bodily fluid minimization control, it is possible to improve the following symptoms: Improves water metabolism in the body · Clogging of blood vessels and organs · Cell edema is one of the causes Cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, blood vessel blockage Fluid buildup in the lungs and knees, ascites, and lactic acid buildup -Lack of insulin, urine, or stool Edema, swelling and congestion of cells and nerve cells Swelling after sprains or surgery Bedsores, pressure sores, necrosis Itching, pain, numbness, chills, stiffness ·Facial swelling, wrinkles, dry skin ·Insomnia, apnea

[0182] By controlling the liquid control device of this embodiment to minimize body fluids, it is possible to improve the following symptoms (this is called "Body Fluids Minimization Therapy (BFM)" because it minimizes body fluids): Improves blood vessel and organ clogging and cell edema -Improvement of circulatory disorders - Suppression of water convection Improved blood sugar, urinary and valvular functions -Suppression of disease in the early stages - Early reduction of swelling -Prevention of bedsores, pressure ulcers, and necrosis - Suppression of itching, pain, feeling of insensitivity, chills, and stiffness - Reduces swelling, wrinkles, and dry skin -High quality sleep and sleep apnea prevention

[0183] The control of minimizing bodily fluids using the liquid control device of this embodiment can be achieved by the following five approaches to symptom improvement control. (1) Health (Health Tech) Approach to maintaining health By minimizing the interstitial fluid, lymphatic fluid, and cellular fluid in the body, clogging of blood vessels and organs can be improved without relying on scalpels, injections, or medications. -Improvement of circulatory system disorders ·Maintenance of health ·Anti-aging, beautiful skin (2) Sleep (Sleep Tech) Approach to high-quality sleep - By relaxing the throat muscles and improving blood flow, sleep apnea syndrome can be improved, and by minimizing water in the brain and improving blood flow, quality sleep can be achieved.

[0184] The human body is made up of 60 to 70% water; for example, muscles are made up of 76% water. By improving the circulation, metabolism, and balance of this water, the fluid control device of this embodiment maintains health and improves physical condition. By controlling body fluid minimization, it controls to improve symptoms such as edema and congestion of cells and nerve cells, clogging of blood vessels and organs, circulation, prevention of viral growth, and reduced viscosity. Conventional treatments aim to solve the following problems, but the fluid control device of this embodiment can solve all of these problems by controlling body fluid minimization. · Resolves the problem of bad bacteria - Solves the problem of oxygen and nutrients not reaching every corner of the cells - Solves the problem of carbon dioxide and waste products being unable to be expelled - Resolves aging and oxidation problems - Resolves the problem of organ and blood vessel clogging · Solves problems of food disappearing, spoiling, and irreversible damage - Resolves body temperature and energy issues Resolves heart, mind, stress and hormone issues

[0186] Figure 21 shows the measurement results of the particle size of water droplets. When the electric field is turned off in image A and turned on in image B using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the water is split into small droplets by the application of the electric field. The diameter of one droplet held on the platinum electrode in image A is about 4.5 mm, and its volume is about 0.05 cm. 3 In the state of image C, the average diameter of the split water droplets is 8 μm in diameter, and in this case, one water droplet held on the platinum electrode splits into approximately 180 million water droplets. Furthermore, in image D, the diameter of the smallest water droplet group is even finer than the combined diameter in image C, at 2.5 μm in diameter, and in this case, one water droplet held on the platinum electrode splits into approximately 6.1 billion water droplets.

[0187] Conventional techniques for vibrating water droplets include those using EMS, radio waves, ultrasound, facial massagers, Indiba, electric potential therapy devices, magnets, minerals, and terahertz waves. The diameter of the water droplets vibrated by these techniques is 4500 μm. The diameter of raindrops is 1000 μm. The diameter of drizzle is 100 to 300 μm. The diameter of mist (smoke) is 10 μm. The diameter of steam is 8 μm. In this embodiment, the size of the water droplets obtained by applying an electric field is 2.5 to 8 μm. Since the distance between cells in a living body is 12 μm or less, the water droplets obtained in this embodiment with a diameter of 12 μm or less have the property of easily penetrating between living cells. In this embodiment, the water particles atomized by applying an electric field penetrate between the cells of living animals and plants, thereby producing various benefits.

[0188] 22 shows the results of improvement in hydroponic cultivation of green leaf lettuce. In particular, comparative photographs taken on the 7th, 11th, and 13th days show that the liquid control device of this embodiment contributes to promoting the growth of green leaf lettuce.

[0189] Figure 23 shows the results of improvements in the preservation of perilla. Figure 23 shows a comparison of the turbidity of the water and the growth rate of perilla when the same size and amount of perilla were stored for two months at room temperature with the same amount of water provided, one with an electric field applied by the liquid control device of this embodiment and the other with no electric field applied. It can be seen that the roots of the perilla were more successful when an electric field was applied. It can also be seen that the water became less turbid when an electric field was applied. Figure 23 shows that the liquid control device of this embodiment contributes to the preservation of perilla and the improvement of water turbidity.

[0190] 22 and 23, it can be seen that the liquid control device of this embodiment can control the growth promotion of not only animals but also plants by modifying and atomizing water. The liquid control device of this embodiment can be applied to the control of the improvement of all living organisms and cells.

[0191] Figure 24 shows the results of improvement in rheumatoid edema rate. When radio wave vibrations from the liquid control device of this embodiment were applied to a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis, the edema rate decreased by approximately 15 to 20% on days 38 to 49, and rheumatoid arthritis was improved. Figure 24 shows that the edema improvement effect is greater than that of administration of the anti-rheumatic drug methotrexate.

[0192] Figure 25 shows the improvement in blood flow in a mouse model of hind limb ischemia. Radiowave vibration was applied to a mouse model of hind limb ischemia using the fluid control device of this embodiment, and an improvement in blood flow was observed on day 14. The mouse model of hind limb ischemia used in this experiment (exp. no. P180110, N=7) was prepared from 8-week-old male BALB / c mice. Blood flow was measured in both limbs using a blood flow imaging device, moorFLPI (Moor Instruments Ltd.). The fluid control device of this embodiment facilitates the flow of interstitial fluid, promoting cellular metabolism and maintaining cellular vitality. It took approximately two weeks for the blood flow improvement effect to be detected as data, due to the improvement in interstitial fluid flow.

[0193] Figure 26 shows the viscosity reduction effect of highly viscous agents. MRI and X-ray contrast agents, such as iomeprol, can be difficult to inject into patients due to their viscosity, and their low fluidity can cause severe irritation in the patient's body. Increasing the fluidity of highly viscous drugs contributes to reducing the burden on medical professionals and patients. As shown in Figure 26, changes in viscosity were observed when an electric field was applied using the liquid control device of this embodiment. Viscosity reduction was observed after 1 to 30 minutes of application. The greatest reduction was observed after 5 minutes of application. By applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the viscosity of iomeprol decreased by approximately 60%, that is, by a maximum of approximately 40%. Applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment reduced fluid resistance and observed changes in the high-speed shear state. The electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment can apply an electric field without contact, eliminating the need for direct contact of metal electrodes with the drug solution, making it hygienic.

[0194] Figure 27 shows the improvement in blood CPK levels in heart-transplanted mice. When heart-transplanted mice were exposed to radio wave vibrations using the liquid control device of this embodiment, improvements in blood CPK levels, an indicator of tissue cell damage such as muscle, were observed. In the center graph of Figure 27, blood CPK levels were reduced to 200 with an applied electric field, compared to an average of 1400 without an applied electric field. CPK is an enzyme necessary for the energy metabolism of muscle cells and is present in large amounts in muscles such as skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle, as well as in the brain. Muscle damage increases blood CPK levels, and they are significantly elevated in acute myocardial infarction and muscular dystrophy, for example. The upper graph of Figure 27 shows the results of blood LDH measurements. The average without an applied electric field was 2200, while the average with an applied electric field was approximately 1400. Application of an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment also reduced blood LDH levels. The lower graph of Figure 27 measures the time to restart heartbeat in the transplanted heart, revealing no effect of the liquid control device of this embodiment. The liquid control device of this embodiment is known to have the effect of increasing the energy metabolism of muscle cells and having a positive effect on repairing damaged muscle tissue, and can also be applied to the treatment of myocardial infarction and angina pectoris.

[0195] The experimental results of Figures 26 and 27 show that the liquid control device of this embodiment can control and improve or enhance heartbeat or pulse, and can improve or prevent heart disease.

[0196] Figure 28 shows the results of an investigation into side effects caused by electrical stimulation using radio wave vibration. Figure 29 shows the experimental conditions for Figure 28. The treatment group with applied electric field was measured approximately 2 m away from the control group without applied electric field to avoid the effects of applied electric field. When normal mice were exposed to radio wave vibration using the liquid control device of this embodiment, there was no significant effect on their physical condition, and there was no change in body weight or food intake, confirming safety. The mice (Scl:ddY) used in the experiment were 9 weeks old (8 weeks old upon arrival), weighed 32.66 ± 1.09 g in the control group and 33.16 ± 1.02 g in the stimulation group, were male, and were bred by Japan SLC. The stimulation time was 8:30 to 15:30, and was performed every day for 7 days. As shown in Figure 28, there was no change in body weight or food intake, confirming that electrical stimulation using radio wave vibration generated by the liquid control device of this embodiment does not affect the body weight or food intake of the mice.

[0197] Figure 30 shows the results of improving rigor mortis and blood coagulation in fish. Figure 31 shows a device for preventing the decay of corpses. As shown in Figure 30, a pair of flat electrodes was placed horizontally above a case containing a dead fish. Using the liquid control device of this embodiment, radio wave vibrations were applied to the fish immediately after it died. This prevented rigor mortis, blood coagulation, and the fish's odor from becoming corpse-like (test location: Furubira, Hokkaido). Furthermore, applying radio wave vibrations to fish two days after purchase for five minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment reduced the fishy odor, improved the texture, and restored freshness. An incision was made just at the base of the tail of a fish immediately after purchase, severing the artery. The fish was then placed upright on a plastic case with slanted ice, and radio wave vibrations were applied using the liquid control device of this embodiment. A comparison fish was placed in a similar manner, but its blood had already coagulated, making it impossible to drain the blood. Therefore, for the comparison fish, the internal organs had to be removed from the gills and the blood drained using water pressure. On the other hand, when radio wave vibrations were applied by the liquid control device of this embodiment, the viscosity of the fish's blood decreased, and blood could be drawn out from the incision at the base of the tail.

[0198] The effects of preventing rigor mortis, blood coagulation, and the smell of death in fish, restoring freshness, and reducing blood viscosity when draining the blood, confirmed in the experiment in Figure 30, can be applied to meats other than fish, and can also be applied to methods of preserving corpses. By installing the electrodes of the liquid control device of the present invention and applying radio wave vibrations to the corpse as shown in Figure 31, it is possible to prevent decay and unpleasant odors, suppress the growth of bacteria and the progression of decay in the corpse bag, and even extend the storage period until cremation.

[0199] Figure 32 shows a blood coagulation prevention device. The effects of preventing rigor mortis, blood coagulation, and the odor of fish, restoring freshness, and reducing blood viscosity during bleeding, confirmed in the experiment shown in Figure 30, can be applied to meats other than fish, and can even be applied to blood coagulation prevention devices. As shown in Figure 32, when using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), installing the electrodes of the fluid control device of the present invention and applying radio wave vibrations can inhibit blood coagulation and reduce the risk of blood coagulation. This reduces the burden on medical professionals who must periodically check blood coagulation during ECMO use. Furthermore, installing the electrodes of the fluid control device of the present invention in an artificial dialysis machine and applying radio wave vibrations can inhibit blood coagulation in the dialysis machine and reduce the risk of blood coagulation. Furthermore, combined with the blood flow improvement effect, this contributes to shortening dialysis time and improving dialysis safety.

[0200] Figure 33 shows the mold suppression effect on strawberries. The electrodes of the liquid control device of the present invention were installed, and radio wave vibrations were applied for one hour. Afterwards, the strawberries were stored in a refrigerator for one month. The comparison sample was stored in the refrigerator for one month without being exposed to radio wave vibrations. As shown in Figure 33, in the strawberries to which radio wave vibrations were applied by the liquid control device of the present invention (strawberries on the right side of Figure 33), the free water in the strawberries was bound together by the radio wave vibrations. Therefore, there was no free water for mold, microorganisms, and germs to bind with. Therefore, even though mold, microorganisms, and germs were present on the surface of the strawberries, the mold, microorganisms, and germs did not grow. Therefore, mold did not develop on the strawberries, and no corrosion occurred. On the other hand, in the strawberries of the comparative example (strawberries on the left side of Figure 33), mold grew and developed on the strawberries.

[0201] Figure 34 shows the inhibitory effect on the proliferation of anthrax bacteria. The electrodes of the liquid control device of the present invention were installed, and anthrax bacteria were cultured for two days with radio wave vibration applied. As a comparative example, anthrax bacteria were cultured for two days without radio wave vibration applied. The application of radio wave vibration by the liquid control device of the present invention inhibited the proliferation of anthrax bacteria more effectively than the comparative example.

[0202] The experimental results of Figures 30 to 34 show that the liquid control device of this embodiment can apply an electric field from the electrodes to control and improve the storage, freezing, thawing, culture, or logistics of organs, body fluids, blood, cells, tissues, skin, hair, corpses, DNA, stem cells, sperm, eggs, medicines, cosmetics, or liquids, or can improve electrodes or containers used for the storage, freezing, thawing, culture, or logistics of organs, body fluids, blood, cells, tissues, skin, hair, corpses, DNA, stem cells, sperm, eggs, medicines, cosmetics, or liquids.

[0203] 33 and 34 show that applying radio wave vibrations using the liquid control device of the present invention can inhibit the growth of mold and anthrax bacteria, confirming the effect of inhibiting the growth of mold, microorganisms, bacteria, germs, and viruses even in conditions where mold, microorganisms, bacteria, germs, and viruses are present. When radio wave vibrations are applied to the human body using the liquid control device of the present invention, the radio wave vibrations act on the free water within the body and cells, causing the free water to become linked, which is expected to have the effect of inhibiting the growth of bacteria and viruses within the body. Therefore, even in conditions where bacteria and viruses are present, their growth can be inhibited, thereby achieving the effect of preventing bacterial and viral infection.

[0204] Conventional measures to prevent viral infection, for example, aim to reduce the risk of infection by using existing coronavirus vaccines, but as the coronavirus continues to mutate, it will be necessary to develop vaccines that are effective against each mutated species. In contrast, if the liquid control device of this embodiment shown in Figures 33 and 34 applies radio wave vibrations to suppress the growth of mold and anthrax bacteria, it is expected that even in cases of infection with various mutated coronaviruses, as long as the coronavirus does not multiply in the lungs or other parts of the body, it will be possible to suppress early symptoms of the coronavirus and prevent symptoms from becoming severe.

[0205] Figure 35 shows the effect of improving chewing balance by relaxing the tension in the masticatory muscles. By applying an electric field to the masseter muscles (masticatory muscles) of the jaw for 5 minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the EMG electromyograph values ​​decreased, confirming muscle relaxation. Figure 35 shows that the EMG electromyograph values ​​decreased in both the cervical spine and upper thoracic spine.

[0206] Figures 36 to 40 show the effect of improving left-right balance of the body. Channel 1 of the EMG electromyograph was attached to the left side of each body part, and channel 2 was attached to the right side, and the balance of left and right muscle strength was measured. Figure 36 shows the measurement results for sacrum 1, where the acupoint is related to the bladder / ovaries or prostate. The graph on the left side of Figure 36 shows a difference in left-right muscle strength before use. However, after applying an electric field to the masseter muscles of the jaw for 5 minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the difference in left-right muscle strength for both Mr. Kamata and Mr. Tanaka decreased, as shown in the graph on the right side, indicating an improvement in the balance of left-right muscle strength. In particular, the values ​​on the right side of Mr. Tanaka's graph are significantly lower than those on the left side, indicating muscle relaxation and an improvement in the balance of left-right muscle strength. Furthermore, in Mr. Kamata's case, after application of the electric field, muscle strength was balanced at a lower value.

[0207] Figure 37 shows the measurement results for the 12th thoracic vertebra, which is associated with the kidneys. The graph on the left of Figure 37 shows a difference in muscle strength between the left and right sides before use, and the EMG electromyography values ​​are higher than those shown in the graph on the right after application of an electric field. After applying an electric field to the masseter muscles of the jaw for five minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, both Kamata and Tanaka experienced a decrease in their values, as shown in the graph on the right, along with a decrease in the difference in muscle strength between the left and right sides. This indicates that muscle relaxation and an improvement in the balance between muscle strength between the left and right sides were achieved.

[0208] Figure 38 shows the measurement results for the eighth thoracic vertebra, which is associated with the liver. The graph on the left of Figure 38 shows a difference in muscle strength between the left and right sides, particularly in the case of Mr. Tanaka, before use. The EMG electromyography values ​​are higher in both cases than the graph on the right after application of the electric field. After applying an electric field to the masseter muscles of the jaw for five minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the values ​​decreased in both Mr. Kamata and Mr. Tanaka, as shown in the graph on the right. In particular, the difference in muscle strength between the left and right sides decreased in Mr. Tanaka's case, indicating muscle relaxation and an improved balance between muscle strength between the left and right sides.

[0209] Figure 39 shows the measurement results for the first thoracic vertebra, which is associated with the heart and lungs. In the graph on the left of Figure 39, before use, the EMG electromyograph values ​​show a large variation in both values ​​compared to the graph on the right after application of an electric field. After applying an electric field to the masseter muscles of the jaw for five minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the difference in muscle strength between the left and right sides of both subjects decreased, and the values ​​themselves stabilized at a low value.

[0210] Figure 40 shows the measurement results for the third cervical vertebra, which is associated with the throat and sinuses. In the graph on the left of Figure 40 (before use), the EMG electromyograph values ​​show a large difference between the left and right values, especially in the case of Mr. Tanaka, compared to the graph on the right (after application of an electric field). After applying an electric field to the masseter muscles of the jaw for five minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the difference in muscle strength between the left and right muscles had decreased, and the values ​​themselves were stable at a low value.

[0211] The measurement results of the EMG electromyograph in Figures 35 to 40 show that applying an electric field to the masseter muscles of the jaw for five minutes using the liquid control device of this embodiment relieves tension in the entire muscle through the masticatory muscles, thereby balancing the left and right sides of the entire body. Figures 35 to 40 show that applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment adjusts masticatory balance, muscle balance, and skeletal balance, thereby improving or preventing muscle imbalance, and improving or enhancing body balance, fascial balance, occlusion, osteopathy, and osteopathy.

[0212] The following were the evaluation comments made by the subjects regarding the control achieved by applying an electric field from electrodes using the liquid control device of this embodiment. In the evaluation comments, "Bodystation" refers to the liquid control device of this embodiment. -Increased range of motion of deep fascia and reduced muscle tension. The area where I had given subcutaneous insulin injections was hard, but the skin there has softened. · Diabetes for 20 years, pancreas normal value in three times. I had uterine cancer and suffered from severe heartburn, which I thought was caused by cachexia, and I lost a lot of weight. I tried everything but nothing worked. After riding the Bodystation for just one hour, my heartburn completely disappeared and I was able to eat delicious meals. The pain in my left ovary has gone away. I was supposed to be taking methimazole for a year for Graves' disease, but my blood pressure returned to normal only once during an hour and a half on Bodystation, so my doctor said it was incomprehensible. I had involuntary movements (legs jumping up involuntarily) due to Parkinson's disease, but just one hour of Bodystation treatment resolved them. People with bone pain found relief. · Reduces swelling in the hands and feet. A person who had experienced a stroke once felt a significant reduction in their headache. Improved drainage of the semicircular canals in people with Meniere's disease. People who have suffered from rheumatism for many years will find that their pain is relieved and their hands are easier to grip. -After just three Bodystation sessions per hour, I no longer needed to carry oxygen. I sprained my right ankle badly, causing internal bleeding the size of a card. I applied tape two hours later, but the pain was so severe I couldn't sleep that night and the next day I was limping. Two days later, I was able to walk normally and go down stairs. There was no swelling at all. I had been suffering from diabetes for two years, but after just one hour on the BodyStation, my blood sugar level dropped dramatically from 252 to 113 the next day, and then to 102 a month later. A person who had been paralyzed on the left side of his body due to a stroke recovered enough to travel alone within six months by simply placing BodyStation under his pillow. I had rheumatism and couldn't bend the middle finger on my right hand, but after riding the BodyStation for an hour I was able to bend it to a right angle. I have suffered from rheumatism for many years and could only go down stairs one step at a time, but after using the BodyStation for the first time for an hour, I was thrilled to be able to go down stairs continuously. I have suffered from diabetes for 10 years and have been receiving insulin injections and dialysis, but thanks to BodyStation my blood sugar level has dropped dramatically from 650 to 150 in just six months. I suffer from early-onset Parkinson's disease and require medication, but after just one hour on the BodyStation, my spasms subsided. After just one hour on the BodyStation, the pain in my lower left inner leg from shingles went away. Twelve years ago, I had surgery for varicose veins in my right thigh, which caused pain from the inside to the outside of my leg, making it feel like an elephant's leg. Just one hour on the BodyStation relieved the swelling and pain, and my leg felt lighter. Just one hour on the BodyStation improved the range of motion of my frozen shoulder. For people with lumbar spinal stenosis, where all five spinal canals are narrowed, if you insert a needle into the side of the spine and pass electricity through the needle for an hour, they will be able to jog and play a round of golf, and the next day they will be able to function normally. Left goiter diagnosed as Graves' disease through blood tests. BodyStation was applied to the left side of the neck, thyroid, swelling, and lymphatic congestion. The swelling subsided, and two days later, during an examination at the prefectural hospital, the doctor in charge was surprised and said, "What?" The pain in my right arm caused by using a chainsaw while farming was relieved after an hour on BodyStation. For about two weeks prior, my elbow had been hurting even at night, making it difficult for me to sleep. - When I was weeding, my whole right arm hurt and I couldn't even bend or straighten my elbow, but now it's pain-free. Your whole body feels lighter. My legs used to be heavy and thick, and I couldn't even tell where my ankles were, but now they're thinner and lighter. Stiff neck due to stiff shoulders. Stiff shoulders, slight headache at the back of the head. From 1am onwards, I fell asleep with the BodyStation on my shoulders and back. I woke up in the morning feeling like I could breathe easier. It felt like a lot of air was coming in. My neck and shoulders felt soft and fluffy. The pain completely disappeared. After I started using BodyStation, my personal trainer was amazed at how well I was able to release the fascia in my thighs. After using the BodyStation for just one hour, I was able to urinate once a day. I have been urinating at least three times a day for a week. My legs are no longer swollen and tired, and they feel lighter. Fluid would periodically build up in my knee, and I would have it drained at the hospital every time, but it started to hurt again and the fluid would build up again, so I used the body station on my way to the hospital, and the doctor told me the fluid had gone away. - The gums have receded due to age, so surgery is performed to transplant mucous membranes from the upper jaw. I was about to have an implant surgery, but after a month of using it, my gums returned to their normal position, which is impossible with today's medical technology. I was scheduled for surgery and my knee, which I had been unable to bend due to rheumatoid arthritis, was now bent 90 degrees. My serum lipid (TG) level had been at 380 for many years (the most recent data was from November last year), but after two weeks of riding, it dropped to 130 on July 8th. My doctor said that this is not normal. I got cellulitis and my right leg became swollen like an elephant. The swelling went down within two weeks, but it usually takes more than a month.

[0213] Figure 41 shows the effect of improving the viability of human cultured cells. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells are expected to play an important role in regenerative medicine, but preserving their activity for more than 48 hours is difficult. While cryopreservation using a preservative such as DMSO is sometimes possible, washing is required before infusion. Application of an electric field can extend the storage period. In some cases, application of radio-frequency vibration improved the viability of CD206 cells. The graph in the upper left shows the target value, with a CD206 viability of 14.9%. In comparison, the graph in the upper right shows 8.0% without electric field application. With 30 seconds of electric field application in the lower left, the viability of CD206 cells improved to 11.1%. Furthermore, with 1 minute of electric field application in the lower right, the viability of CD206 cells improved to 13.3%. CD206 cells are a type of macrophage that play a significant role in angiogenesis, which is important for tissue regeneration. In Figure 41 (1), the number of CD206 cells observed in the sample to which microwave vibration was applied for 1 minute was approximately 1.7 times higher than in the sample to which microwave vibration was not applied. In Figure 41 (2), when comparing the sample before preparation, i.e., the fresh sample before storage, with the sample to which microwave vibration was applied for 1 minute, the decrease in cell number was limited to 1.6%. Figure 41 confirms that applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment is effective in improving the survival rate of human cultured cells. As a result, it has been shown that the liquid control device of this embodiment can control to improve or enhance the production of teeth, bones, joints, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, cells, skin, hair, or organs, control to improve the preservation, freezing, thawing, culture, or logistics of organs, body fluids, blood, cells, tissues, skin, hair, corpses, DNA, stem cells, sperm, eggs, medicines, cosmetics, or liquids, or improve electrodes or containers used for the preservation, freezing, thawing, culture, or logistics of organs, body fluids, blood, cells, tissues, skin, hair, corpses, DNA, stem cells, sperm, eggs, medicines, cosmetics, or liquids.

[0214] Figure 42 shows the results of observation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. When radio wave vibrations are applied, the cells aggregate on the culture dish. By applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the cells can be controlled to form a beaded arrangement. As shown in Figure 41, the survival rate of macrophages CD206, which are important for angiogenesis, can be increased in some cases. Although the effect varies depending on the subject, a significant effect was confirmed. Figures 41 and 42 demonstrate the function of arranging cells to generate organs and tissues by applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment, which controls the cells to form a beaded arrangement.

[0215] Figure 43 shows sleep improvement example 1, and Figure 44 shows sleep improvement example 2, which show the improvement effect of the apnea-hypopnea index. Wearing a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) during sleep reduced the number of apneas and AHI (the apnea-hypopnea index, which is the combined number of apneas and hypopneas per hour). However, the number of apneas and AHI increased again after CPAP use ended. Therefore, instead of CPAP, the number of apneas and AHI were measured by applying an electric field from the electrodes using the liquid control device of this embodiment. A decrease in the number of apneas and AHI was observed, similar to that observed when CPAP was used. When application of an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment began after September 2021, as shown in Figure 43, the number of apneas and AHI significantly decreased. Furthermore, it was observed that using CPAP in addition to applying an electric field from the electrodes using the liquid control device of this embodiment reduced the number of apneas and AHI more than when CPAP was used alone. Figure 44 shows data for another subject from Figure 43, and from October 2021 onwards, application of an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment was started, and the number of apneas and AHI significantly decreased.

[0216] In this embodiment, the focus of improving sleep apnea syndrome is on the mechanism of effect: by applying an electric field from the electrodes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the moisture content of blood in the carotid and vertebral arteries and veins is minimized, improving blood flow around the neck, relaxing the muscles around the trachea and returning the cervical vertebrae to a normal position, preventing the lower jaw from rising too high, inhibiting tongue depression, alleviating tracheal contraction, and improving breathing. As a result, sleep apnea symptoms are alleviated. The location where the electrodes of this embodiment are applied is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 5 cm on either side of the center of the Adam's apple, where it protrudes most.

[0217] The experimental results in Figures 43 and 44 show that the liquid control device of this embodiment can improve breathing by applying an electric field from the electrodes, and can control to improve or enhance respiratory function or pulmonary function, and can control to improve sleep.

[0218] Figure 45 shows an experiment to improve menstrual pain. Figure 45 shows the improvement effect of menstrual pain. The liquid control device of this embodiment shown in Figure 45 was used on 14 women (aged 25 to 53) who take painkillers for menstrual pain, and a questionnaire was conducted on them about changes in their menstrual cycle before and after using the device, the results of which are shown in Figure 46. As shown in Figure 46, by applying an electric field from the electrodes using the liquid control device of this embodiment, significant improvements were achieved in each of the following items: frequency of taking painkillers, abdominal bloating, lower back pain, swelling, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, drowsiness, irritability, emotional instability, and constipation / diarrhea.

[0219] Conventional methods for relieving pain include warming the body, bathing, exercise, localized cooling, massage, stretching, relaxation, counseling, acupressure, pelvic care, painkillers, anesthesia, and enduring the pain, but the fluid control device of this embodiment can control bodily fluid minimization to improve fluidity and bodily fluid metabolism, thereby improving symptoms such as menstruation, PMS, infertility / fertility, menopause / menopause, pregnancy, postpartum care, women's health in general, stress, and anxiety. Furthermore, subjects gave the following evaluations of the effect of bodily fluid minimization control by the liquid control device of this embodiment on improving women's physical condition. My daughter's period pain has disappeared. The pain in my left ovary has gone away. Monthly ovulation pain is gone. Maybe your cold sensitivity has improved? I was skeptical before trying it, but after applying it to my lower abdomen for an hour every day, the menstrual cramps that had plagued me for over 20 years completely disappeared. I no longer need to take painkillers every month, and my period has shortened from 6-7 days to 4 days. I thought it might just be a fluke if I tried it just once, so I tried it for three months, but the effect continued. The gloomy mood caused by menstrual cramps improved. My monthly period, which was supposed to be 7 days, ended in 4 days. My period went from 5 days to 3 days. I started using it two days before my period started and no longer needed the painkillers I take every month. After just a few days of testing, if normal pain is 100%, the pain after using WOW200 was reduced to about 30%. Until now, my period would drag on even when it was almost over, but now it ends abruptly. -Makeup might stick better? Has the swelling in your legs and face decreased? I couldn't do it every day, but I still felt a significant change. In the first month, it stopped after three days, and then I had another bleed on the fifth day, but it stopped after three days. It was a total of six days, and in the second month, it came after 20 days. It ended cleanly in three days. I usually can't take off my pads for a week, so I was surprised that it ended cleanly. I didn't have period pain (and I hardly ever have one), and the amount of blood on the first day was heavier and cleaner than before. I get constipated before my period, but in the second month, I had my period with a regular bowel movement, which I was grateful for.

[0220] Figure 47 shows the improvement effect of the contrast agent. After applying an electric field to the contrast agent from the electrodes using the liquid control device of this embodiment for 24 hours, the contrast agent was injected from the cisterna magna of a mouse, and 30 minutes after injection, the penetration of the contrast agent into the cerebral cortex was confirmed by imaging. As a comparative example, a contrast agent without an applied electric field was used. When the average brightness was measured for three mice, the average brightness of the mice injected with the contrast agent to which an electric field was applied using the liquid control device of this embodiment was 19.7, while the average brightness of the mice injected with the contrast agent without an applied electric field was 8.8. This confirmed the effect of applying an electric field to the contrast agent using the liquid control device of this embodiment, which facilitates penetration of the contrast agent into the cerebral cortex of the mouse. The effect of this embodiment is not limited to the cerebral cortex of the mouse, but is also expected to improve the penetration of the contrast agent into other cells, tissues, and organs.

[0221] Figure 48 shows the mold and corrosion prevention effect. Photographs of strawberries were compared after an electric field was applied to the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment for one hour and then stored in a refrigerator for 30 days. The photograph on the right shows the strawberries after an electric field was applied, and it can be seen that the strawberries are fresh, there is no corrosion, and no mold has developed. On the other hand, the comparative example shown in the photograph on the left shows strawberries that have been stored in a refrigerator for 30 days without an electric field being applied. In the comparative example, corrosion has occurred and mold has also developed. This shows that applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment has the effect of preventing corrosion and mold.

[0222] Figure 49 shows the corrosion prevention effect on fish. The photographs show a comparison of sea bream stored in a refrigerator for five days after applying an electric field to the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment for one hour. The photograph on the right shows the sea bream with an applied electric field; its flesh is juicy, its internal organs are free of corrosion, and it remains fresh. In contrast, the comparative example shown on the left shows a sea bream stored in a refrigerator for five days without applying an electric field. In the comparative example, the flesh has lost moisture, and the internal organs have corroded, reducing its freshness. In the comparative example, the internal organs of the sea bream decay because bacteria, viruses, and active oxygen bind to free water (hydrogen bonds), causing the bacteria and viruses to multiply and the active oxygen to act. In contrast, when an electric field was applied using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the free water inside the sea bream was controlled to form a beaded arrangement, forming bound water, which separated the bacteria, viruses, and active oxygen from the free water, preventing the proliferation of bacteria and viruses and reducing the active oxygen. This shows that applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment has the effect of inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and viruses, as well as the effect of preventing corrosion and reducing active oxygen.

[0223] Figure 50 shows the freshness-maintaining effect. The leftmost sardine in Figure 50 is a sardine that was stored in a refrigerator for three days after applying an electric field for one hour using the liquid control device of this embodiment. The second from the left in Figure 50 is a sea urchin that was stored in a refrigerator for seven days after applying an electric field for one hour using the liquid control device of this embodiment. The rightmost and second from the right in Figure 50 are kinki red snapper that was stored in a refrigerator for seven days after applying an electric field for one hour using the liquid control device of this embodiment. As a comparative example (not shown), when compared with fish stored in a refrigerator for the same number of days without applying an electric field, the fish that received an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment had fresher flesh, no corrosion in the internal organs, and better maintained freshness. In the fish that received an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the free water inside the tissues and cells was controlled to form a bead-like arrangement, becoming bound water, which separated bacteria, viruses, and active oxygen from the free water, preventing the proliferation of bacteria and viruses and reducing active oxygen. This shows that applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment has the effect of inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and viruses, as well as the effect of preventing corrosion and reducing active oxygen.

[0224] Figure 51 shows the mold prevention effect on bread. The right side of Figure 51 is a photograph of rye bread that was stored at room temperature for 13 days after applying an electric field for 1 hour using the liquid control device of this embodiment. In the photograph on the right, no mold has grown on the rye bread. In contrast, the comparative example on the left is a photograph of rye bread that was also stored at room temperature for 13 days without applying an electric field. In the comparative example, mold has grown. In the comparative example, mold grew on the rye bread because the mold bound to the free water (hydrogen bonds) in the rye bread and grew. When an electric field was applied using the liquid control device of this embodiment, the free water in the rye bread was controlled to form a beaded arrangement, and by becoming bound water, the mold was separated from the free water, preventing mold growth. This shows that applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment has the effect of inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and viruses, preventing corrosion, and reducing active oxygen.

[0225] The experiments in Figures 48 to 51 showed that applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment can provide control to prevent the growth of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, or viruses, control to improve the storage, freezing, thawing, culture, or logistics of organs, body fluids, blood, cells, tissues, skin, hair, corpses, DNA, stem cells, sperm, eggs, medicines, cosmetics, or liquids, improve electrodes or containers used for the storage, freezing, thawing, culture, or logistics of organs, body fluids, blood, cells, tissues, skin, hair, corpses, DNA, stem cells, sperm, eggs, medicines, cosmetics, or liquids, and control to remove active oxygen.

[0226] Figure 52 shows a device for improving age spots and wrinkles. Figures 53, 54, and 55 are comparative photographs taken before and after applying an electric field for 20 minutes using the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment. The left image in Figure 52 shows the device in use. The center image in Figure 52 shows the electrode arrangement for nasolabial fold care. The right image in Figure 52 shows the electrode arrangement for lifting the outer corners of the eyes. From the comparative photographs in Figures 53, 54, and 55, it can be seen that after applying an electric field using the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment, wrinkles are improved and the outer corners of the eyes are lifted. Furthermore, this device is effective not only in improving wrinkles but also in removing age spots. At the same time, the liquid control device of this embodiment improves body fluid metabolism, which is effective in eliminating swelling and improving skin tone by improving blood flow, demonstrating its cosmetic benefits.

[0227] Figure 56 shows electrode structure example 1, Figure 57 shows electrode structure example 2, Figure 58 shows electrode structure example 3, Figure 59 shows electrode structure example 4, Figure 60 shows electrode structure example 5, Figure 61 shows electrode structure example 6, Figure 62 shows electrode structure example 7, Figure 63 shows electrode structure example 8, and Figure 64 shows electrode structure example 9. In electrode structure example 1 in Figure 56, the upper left shows a cylindrical electrode suitable for applying an electric field to a cylindrical liquid container, such as a bottle-shaped container. The upper right shows a pair of plate-shaped electrodes, on which a body part, such as a foot, can be placed or on which the user can lie. The lower left shows two or four plate-shaped or flexible sheet-shaped electrodes. The plate-shaped electrodes can be placed or attached to the target area, or a body part can be placed on the plate-shaped electrodes. The shape of the flexible sheet-shaped electrodes is not particularly limited, but can be made into a glove-like or pad-like shape, allowing the shape to be selected according to the target area. The bottom right shows an example of two plate-shaped electrodes, which can be placed or attached to the target area. The method of fixing the electrodes to the treatment area is not particularly limited, and they can be fixed using bands, bandages, nets, supports, etc. Electrode Structure Example 2 in Figure 57 has two electrode panels, which are plate-shaped and can be installed in any orientation. For example, the electrode surface can be used vertically, horizontally, or tilted at any angle. The electrode panels can also be placed on the target area, or the target area can be placed on the electrode. Electrode Structure Example 3 in Figure 58 shows another example of how to use the electrode panels in Figure 57. In the top right figure, the electrode panel can be placed on the part of the bed that corresponds to the head, like a pillow, with the electrode surface horizontal, and the target area, such as the head, can be placed on top of it. In the bottom left figure, the electrode panel can be placed on the part of the bed that corresponds to the waist, back, or feet, with the electrode surface horizontal, and the target area, such as the waist, back, or feet, can be placed on top of it. In the image in the lower center, the electrode panel is laid on the floor so that the electrode surface is horizontal, and the target area, the foot, is placed on top of it so that the sole of the foot touches the electrode surface.In the lower right figure, one electrode panel is placed horizontally on the bed along the back, and the back, the target area, is placed on top of it. Another electrode panel is placed horizontally on the stomach side. Thus, the placement and orientation of the electrode panels and their application to the target area are arbitrary as long as the electric field generated by the electrode panels can be applied. The number of electrode panels is not limited to two, and can be one, three, four, or more. Electrode Structure Example 4 in Figure 59 shows an example in which a sheet-like electrode is placed on a bed. Although not particularly limited, the sheet-like electrode can be made of a flexible material, and for example, a pair of comb-like electrodes can be placed close to each other in an opposing manner so that the comb-like electrodes interdigitate with each other. Therefore, multiple electrodes can be integrated into a single sheet-like electrode. Electrode Structure Example 5 in Figure 60 shows a sheet-like or plate-like electrode placed on the top surface of a treatment bed, a medical bed, a simple bed, or the like. Electrode Structure Example 6 in FIG. 61 shows a sheet- or plate-shaped electrode placed in the driver's seat of a vehicle. Applying an electric field to an electrode placed in a vehicle seat improves fluidity and metabolism of bodily fluids, which is effective in preventing economy class syndrome. Electrode Structure Example 7 in FIG. 62 shows another use example of the electrode panel in FIG. 57. Two electrodes are placed parallel to the back on a bed, and the target area, the back, is placed on top of them. Electrode Structure Example 8 in FIG. 63 includes two adhesive terminals. Because the electrode surface of the adhesive terminals is adhesive, the electrodes can be attached to the target area without using a separate band or the like. Electrode Structure Example 9 in FIG. 64 uses a needle-shaped electrode. The electrode is needle-shaped, and by applying a voltage to the needle inserted into the target area in the same manner as acupuncture, an electric field is applied from the needle to the target area. Thus, the electrode can be, for example, plate-shaped, rod-shaped, sheet-shaped, needle-shaped, comb-shaped, or a shape combining two or more electrodes.

[0228] Figure 65 is a diagram illustrating the extraction of green tea. Green tea was extracted for three hours while applying an electric field using the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment. The left diagram shows the case where no electric field was applied, the center diagram shows the case where an electric field was applied for only one hour, and the right diagram shows the case where an electric field was applied for three hours. As is clear from the diagram, the highest degree of extraction and the highest concentration of green tea were obtained when an electric field was applied for three hours, the second highest extraction level was obtained when an electric field was applied for only one hour, and the lowest extraction level was obtained when no electric field was applied. Figure 65 shows that the liquid control device of this embodiment can increase the degree of extraction of green tea by applying an electric field.

[0229] Figure 66 is a diagram illustrating the extraction of kelp. Kelp was extracted for three hours while applying an electric field using the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment. The diagram on the left shows the case where no electric field was applied, and the diagram on the right shows the case where an electric field was applied for three hours. As is clear from the diagram, the degree of extraction of kelp was higher when an electric field was applied for three hours, and the kelp expanded more and absorbed more water. Figure 66 shows that the degree of extraction of kelp can be increased by applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment.

[0230] Figure 67 is a diagram illustrating the extraction of dashi. Ramen soup dashi was extracted for four hours while applying an electric field using the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment. The left diagram shows the results when no electric field was applied, and the right diagram shows the results when an electric field was applied for four hours. As is clear from the diagram, the dashi extracted to a higher degree and had a stronger concentration when an electric field was applied for four hours. When the dashi concentration was measured, it was found to be 15% stronger when an electric field was applied for four hours. Figure 67 shows an experiment using pork bone-based dashi, but the type of dashi is not particularly limited. The fluid control device of this embodiment can increase the degree of dashi extraction for any type of dashi, whether it be seafood or vegetable. Figure 67 demonstrates that the liquid control device of this embodiment can increase the degree of dashi extraction by applying an electric field.

[0231] Figure 68 is a diagram illustrating noodle aging. Noodles were aged for two days while applying an electric field using the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment, and then ramen noodles were cooked. The water absorption, texture, and taste of the noodles were examined. The left figure shows noodles aged for two days while applying an electric field. The center figure shows noodles cooked using brewing water to which an electric field had been applied for one hour. The right figure shows noodles cooked without an electric field. Wheat flour contains amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch, and protease, an enzyme that breaks down protein. These enzymes are activated by moisture and moderate temperature, promoting the formation of gluten, which adds firmness and improves flavors such as sweetness and umami. Ramen noodles require moderate water absorption; if they are not aged sufficiently, they will absorb a large amount of water and quickly become stretchy, compromising their texture and taste. The noodles with the most appropriate degree of maturation and least stretching were the noodles aged with an electric field applied for two days (shown on the left). Not only were the noodles less stretchy, but they also had moderate water absorption, resulting in the best texture and taste. Although aging is usually required for 5 to 7 days, applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment made it possible to achieve an appropriate degree of maturation even with an aging period of just two days. The noodles with the second most appropriate degree of maturation and least stretching were the noodles in the center, cooked using brewing water to which an electric field had been applied for one hour. Although the degree of maturation was insufficient due to the two-day aging period, compared to the noodles aged without an electric field (shown on the right), the degree of expansion of the noodles indicates that stretching was suppressed. Furthermore, considering the texture and taste of the noodles aged for two days, it is clear that using brewing water treated with an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment contributed to improving the quality of the noodles. When ramen noodles are aged while an electric field is applied using the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment, the interfacial tension of the water contained in the ramen noodles decreases, the water breaks down into fine particles, and enzymes are activated, promoting aging such as the formation of gluten.

[0232] 65 to 68 show that applying an electric field using the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment can increase the degree of extraction and maturation. This shows that applying an electric field using the liquid control device of this embodiment can improve or enhance the extraction of body fluids, medicines, cosmetics, or liquids, and can improve or enhance the efficacy or quality of medicines, cosmetics, or liquids. Furthermore, by improving emulsion properties and atomizing and arranging liquids, applying an electric field using the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment can improve or enhance the production of teeth, bones, joints, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, cells, skin, hair, or organs.

[0233] Figures 69 to 72 show the results of measuring the vibrations of water. All substances, not just living organisms, possess weak energy that contributes to the health of living organisms. Water also possesses vibrational energy that contributes to human health. Measuring the vibrational energy of water as a relative value (vibration measurement value) of its contribution to the human body allows us to understand the state of human health and the quality of the water. The vibrational energy of water is quantified as a relative contribution to human health depending on the state of the water, the energy state of the water, and the quality of the water. The higher the positive value, the greater the vibrational energy, and the higher the total score, the higher the quality of the water. Negative values ​​are undesirable because they may interfere with human health. Each score quantifies the effect that the water will have on the human body when ingested, quantifying it as a relative positive or negative value for each of the following items: overall health, kidneys, liver, intestines, immune function, allergies, blood circulation, and hormone balance. In Figures 69 to 72, the upper tables show the wave energy measurements taken over time while an electric field was applied to water by the electrodes of the liquid control device of the present invention. The lower tables show the wave energy measurements taken over time after an electric field was applied to water by the electrodes of the liquid control device of the present invention for 24 hours and then turned off. The table also shows the retention rate, with the total score at the time of 24 hours of electric field application being 100%. The measurement results in Figures 69 to 72 demonstrate that the liquid control device of this embodiment can improve the wave energy of the liquid by applying an electric field from the electrodes, i.e., can control the liquid to enhance its contribution to human health. By applying an electric field from the electrodes, the liquid control device of this embodiment can improve the quality of not only drinking liquids but also bodily fluids present in cells, organs, and tissues in the body. Therefore, in addition to the aforementioned improvements in bodily fluid fluidity, metabolism, and stabilization of water balance, it also contributes to improving the quality of the bodily fluids themselves. Furthermore, since the liquid control device of this embodiment controls the wave energy of water to increase it, it has been shown that it is also possible to control energy that exists in nature, including the wave energy of water, such as the energy of ectoplasm.

[0234] The above-described embodiments do not limit the present invention, and the present invention can be equally applied to other embodiments included in the scope of the claims. Furthermore, the embodiments can be appropriately modified or combined.

[0235] In the explanation of the principle of interfacial tension reduction control in embodiment 1, the interfacial tension between the aqueous phase and the oil phase has been described. However, the interfacial tension in this embodiment is not limited to the interfacial tension between the aqueous phase and the oil phase, but also includes the interfacial tension between any two phases including a liquid, the interfacial tension between two types of liquid, the interfacial tension between a liquid and a solid, the interfacial tension between a liquid and a gas, etc., and the liquid control device of this embodiment can control any interfacial tension.

[0236] 13, the configuration shown as housing 50 does not specify the shape of a box, but refers to any device. Therefore, in addition to refrigerators and storage containers, it includes various devices and equipment in which the electrodes of the liquid control device of this embodiment are used, such as treatment tables, treatment tables, simple beds, electromagnetic treatment devices, electric potential treatment devices, low-frequency treatment devices, EMS, massage devices, facial beauty devices, vibration devices, cavitation devices, microbubble devices, micro-nano bubble devices, nanobubble devices, fine valve devices, terahertz devices, high-frequency devices, quantum treatment devices, hair growth devices, cellulite treatment devices, muscle relaxation devices, ultrasonic treatment devices, ozone generation devices, hydrogen generation devices, LED devices, beauty devices, slimming devices, or tools, devices, equipment, or facilities equipped with storage containers, etc.

[0237] In each of the experimental examples and measurement examples of the above embodiment, the voltage and frequency applied to the electrodes were set to 100 V and 50 kHz for ease of comparison and analysis. However, these are merely examples of target values ​​for the liquid control device of this embodiment and are not intended to limit the target values ​​of this embodiment. For example, within the voltage range of 0 to 7000 V and the frequency range of 0 to 100 THz described in this embodiment, the target values ​​can be appropriately set by the cloud server (management server 40) and controller 10 using various calculations such as machine learning, pre-stored control parameters, pre-input or pre-set control parameters, etc., as described in the first embodiment. Given the wide variety of control targets and control objects, optimal control parameters vary widely. However, appropriate control parameters are set according to the target object, target site, type and condition of the target object and target site, the liquid control goal, the electrode configuration, etc., using the procedure described in the first embodiment. While not particularly limited, for example, a frequency band of 1 Hz to 50 Hz may be used for the control of brain waves, nerves, sleep, etc., while terahertz devices use frequencies in the terahertz range. Although the voltage range has been described as 7000 V or less for safety reasons, if safety measures such as insulation can be adopted, an extra-high voltage exceeding 7000 V may be used as the target value. However, as shown in the experimental examples, the liquid control device of this embodiment exhibits sufficient performance for practical use even at a voltage and frequency range of approximately 50 kHz and 100 V, and therefore can also be implemented in the low voltage range of the power classification, i.e., AC 600 V or less, DC 750 V or less.
