Description

【Technical Field】 【0001】 One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of therapy devices using light. More specifically, but not limited thereto, one or more embodiments of the present invention enable a light therapy device that treats a subject with light of multiple wavelengths from one or different directions. 【Background Art】 【0002】 Light therapy devices can be used for treating various health conditions and promoting health. Current light therapy devices typically use light of a single wavelength, so the effect of the therapy is limited. 【0003】 Due at least to the above limitations, there is a need for a light therapy device that treats a subject with light of multiple wavelengths. 【Summary of the Invention】 【Problems to be Solved by the Invention】 【0004】 One or more embodiments described herein relate to a light therapy device that treats a subject with light of multiple wavelengths. Embodiments of the present invention can treat a subject with light of multiple wavelengths selected from a specific group of wavelengths known to function well in combination. 【Means for Solving the Problems】 【0005】 In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the system may include a transparent container for holding water to be treated, a first light panel located on a first side of the container, and a second light panel located on a second side of the container. Alternatively, the first light panel may be located on the underside of the transparent container, and the second light panel on the upper side. The first light panel may have multiple light sources emitting light of three different first-side wavelengths directed toward the water in the container. The second light panel may have multiple light sources emitting light of three different second-side wavelengths directed toward the water in the container. These three different second-side wavelengths may all be different from the three different first-side wavelengths. In one or more embodiments, one or more light panels that transmit multiple wavelengths may be utilized. For example, in an embodiment, a single light panel may be used to treat a target from a single direction. These embodiments may be lighter, less expensive, and use less power. 【0006】 In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the second surface of the container may be opposite to the first surface. In one or more embodiments, the first light panel may be located above the transparent container, and the second light panel may be located below the transparent container. 【0007】 In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the amount of light emitted from the first light panel at each of the three different first wavelengths may be substantially equal, and the amount of light emitted from the second light panel at each of the three different second wavelengths may be substantially equal. In addition, the amount of light from each LED emitting wavelengths of a given light panel may be different. More specifically, for three wavelengths of light per panel as described in the present invention, the amount of light per LED may be in a ratio of 0.875:1:1.125. In other words, the number of LEDs, i.e., the total power in watts of the first LEDs in series as described in this invention, is 0.875 units compared to 1 unit for the second LED and 1.125 units for the third LED. In practice, for a 27-watt LED panel, LED1 would be approximately 7.9 watts, LED2 approximately 9 watts, and LED3 approximately 10.1 watts. Other LED powers are used depending on whether the water treatment is slow or fast, and whether the container is large or small. 【0008】 In one or more embodiments of the present invention, three different first-side wavelengths may be selected from a first wavelength set selected from a plurality of wavelength set options, and three different second-side wavelengths may be selected from a second wavelength set different from the first wavelength set, selected from these wavelength set options. Each wavelength set option may have three different wavelength 1 options, three different wavelength 2 options, and three different wavelength 3 options. The three different first-side wavelengths may include a first wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 1 options associated with the first wavelength set, a second wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 2 options associated with the first wavelength set, and a third wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 3 options associated with the first wavelength set. The three different second-side wavelengths may include a first wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 1 options associated with the second wavelength set, a second wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 2 options associated with the second wavelength set, and a third wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 3 options associated with the second wavelength set. 【0009】 In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the wavelength set option may include a first wavelength set option having a wavelength 1 option including 315 nm, 630 nm, and 1260 nm, a wavelength 2 option including 276 nm, 511 nm, and 1102 nm, and a wavelength 3 option including 349 nm, 698 nm, and 1396 nm. The wavelength set option may include a second wavelength set option having a wavelength 1 option including 281 nm, 561 nm, and 1122 nm, a wavelength 2 option including 246 nm, 491 nm, and 982 nm, and a wavelength 3 option including 310 nm, 619 nm, and 1238 nm. The wavelength set option may include a wavelength 1 option containing 266 nm, 532 nm, and 1064 nm, a wavelength 2 option containing 233 nm, 466 nm, and 932 nm, and a third wavelength set option containing 294 nm, 587 nm, and 1174 nm. The wavelength set options may include a fourth wavelength set option having a wavelength 1 option including 237nm, 473nm, and 946nm, a wavelength 2 option including 207nm, 414nm, and 828nm, and a wavelength 3 option including 261nm, 522nm, and 1044nm. The wavelength set option may include a fifth wavelength set option having a wavelength 1 option including 211 nm, 421 nm, and 842 nm, a wavelength 2 option including 185 nm, 369 nm, and 738 nm, and a wavelength 3 option including 233 nm, 465 nm, and 930 nm. The wavelength set options may include a sixth wavelength set option having a wavelength 1 option including 374nm, 748nm, and 1496nm, a wavelength 2 option including 214nm, 427nm, and 855nm, and a wavelength 3 option including 339nm, 677nm, and 1354nm. The wavelength set options may include a seventh wavelength set option having a wavelength 1 option including 280nm, 560nm, and 1120nm, a wavelength 2 option including 245nm, 490nm, and 980nm, and a wavelength 3 option including 309nm, 618nm, and 1239nm. In table format, it would look like this: JPEG2026519181000002.jpg202127 Wavelength Set 【0010】 In one or more embodiments of the present invention, means for adding hydrogen and / or oxygen to water before or during treatment may also be provided. Hydrogen can be added by using an electrolytic cell and bubbling hydrogen into the water during the water treatment time by the light panel.

Alternatively, hydrogen and oxygen can be added from an electrolytic cell, and both hydrogen and oxygen are bubbling into the water when the water is treated with a light panel. Alternatively, hydrogen and oxygen can be added using a hydrogen-containing material and an oxygen-containing material. Alternatively, hydrogen and oxygen can be added using a Browns gas electrolytic cell and bubbling through the water when the water is treated with a light panel. Alternatively, hydrogen and oxygen can be supplied from a PEM fuel cell. Alternatively, hydrogen and oxygen can be supplied from a storage gas tank. 【0011】 One or more embodiments of the present invention enable a phototherapy device for treating a target with light of multiple wavelengths. The device may include multiple light sources configured to emit light of three different wavelengths directed at a target for treatment, such as a person or an animal. The three different wavelengths can be selected from a set of wavelengths chosen from multiple wavelength set options. Each wavelength set option may include three different wavelength 1 options, three different wavelength 2 options, and three different wavelength 3 options. The three different wavelengths may include a first wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 1 options associated with the wavelength set, a second wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 2 options associated with the wavelength set, and a third wavelength substantially equal to one of the three different wavelength 3 options associated with the wavelength set. 【0012】 In one or more embodiments of the phototherapy device, the wavelength set options may include the options listed in Table 1 above. 【0013】 In one or more embodiments of the phototherapy device, the amounts of light emitted from multiple light sources at each of the three different wavelengths may be substantially equal. 【0014】 In one or more embodiments, the phototherapy device may include a handheld therapy device. 【0015】 In one or more embodiments, the phototherapy device is attached to or integrated with a cap and can direct light of three different wavelengths onto the scalp being treated. 【0016】 In one or more embodiments, the phototherapy device may include a phototherapy bed on which the subject to be treated during treatment is positioned either inside or above it. 【0017】 In one or more embodiments, the phototherapy device may include a facial therapy device that irradiates the face of the person to be treated with light of three different wavelengths. 【0018】 In one or more embodiments, the phototherapy device may include a phototherapy sauna that is available to the subject during treatment. 【0019】 The above and other aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following drawings and the following more specific description presented therewith. 【Brief Description of the Drawings】 【0020】 [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention that treats water using light of three different wavelengths emitted from each of two light panels.

[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0021】 This document describes a phototherapy device that treats a target with light of multiple wavelengths. The following exemplary description provides numerous specific details to better understand embodiments of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention can be carried out without incorporating all aspects of the specific details described herein. In other examples, certain features, quantities, or measurements well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail so as not to obscure the invention. Readers should note that while embodiments of the invention are described herein, the entire scope of the claims and all equivalents defines the scope of the invention. 【0022】 In experiments conducted by the inventors, it was investigated how to generate vibrations in water using light of specific wavelengths, thereby gradually adding energy to the water. The results suggest that treating water with six different wavelengths of light yields optimal results. Such treatment results in a novel water structure in which energy has been added. Figure 4 below shows experimental results illustrating this novel structure. 【0023】 Figure 1 shows an exemplary apparatus 100 that can be used to produce water of a desired structure. The apparatus has a transparent container 103 that can hold water 104 to be treated. The container 103 may be of any shape or size. Two light panels 110 and 120 are positioned at different locations on the outside of the container. For example, these panels may be on opposite sides of the container. In apparatus 100, light panel 110 is located above the container 103, and light panel 120 is located below the container 103. Each light panel may contain multiple light sources, such as LEDs and lasers. Each light source can emit light of a specific wavelength or wavelength range directed at the water 104 in the container 103. The light emitted from the light sources interacts with the water 104 and changes its structure, as described below. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, each of the light panels 110 and 120 can emit light of three different wavelengths, and all wavelengths from one panel can be different from the wavelengths from the other panels. Thus, water can be treated with six different wavelengths. Different wavelengths can be emitted from different types of light sources, or light sources controlled to emit these different types of wavelengths. In Figure 1, different light sources on panels 110 and 120 are schematically shown by different shapes corresponding to different wavelengths. These icons do not necessarily represent the actual shapes of the light sources. Light panel 110 has 18 light sources and light panel 120 has 18 light sources, but these numbers are illustrative, and embodiments can have any number of light sources on any light panel. Light source 115 emits light of wavelength 111, light source 116 emits light of wavelength 112, light source 117 emits light of wavelength 113, light source 125 emits light of wavelength 121, light source 126 emits light of wavelength 122, and light source 127 emits light of wavelength 123. Wavelengths 111, 112, 113, 121, 122, and 123 may all be different. In one or more embodiments, the amount of light emitted at each wavelength may be substantially equal for each of the different wavelengths. For example, panel 110 may have six light sources associated with each of the wavelengths 111, 112, and 113, and panel 120 may have six light sources associated with each of the wavelengths 121, 122, and 123, and each of these light sources may have similar or equal output or intensity. In one or more embodiments, the optical panel substantially does not emit light of other wavelengths beyond the three distinct wavelengths it emits. For example, the emitted light may have a peak with a drop-off near the center frequency so that other frequencies are not emitted with an amplitude close to that of the center frequency. 【0024】 In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a mechanism may also be provided for adding either or both of hydrogen 105 and oxygen 106 to water 104 before or during light treatment from panels 110 and 120. In one or more embodiments, hydrogen and oxygen can be produced by the electrolysis of water, and the resulting hydrogen and oxygen gases are bubbling through water during processing. An electrolytic cell may also be incorporated into the apparatus 100. The hydrogen and oxygen generated during electrolysis can be stored in the same container 103. The hydrogen and oxygen recombine with water upon receiving light from the light panel. Alternatively, or in addition to electrolysis, other sources of hydrogen and / or oxygen gases may be used, and the gases may be bubbling through water during processing. In one or more embodiments, a compound containing hydrogen and / or oxygen, such as hydrogen bound to a mineral or other complex, can also be introduced into water as another source of hydrogen and / or oxygen. 【0025】 An exemplary embodiment of the apparatus 100 may use, for example, a container 103 that is approximately 4 inches in diameter and 4 inches in height and holds approximately 500 mL of water, and panels 110 and 120, each approximately 4 inches in diameter and consuming approximately 20 watts of power. An exemplary processing time for the water is 45 minutes. Additional hydrogen and / or oxygen sources may or may not be used during processing. 【0026】 Figure 2 shows exemplary wavelengths of light that may be used in one or more embodiments of the apparatus 100. In one or more embodiments, a selection 201 may be performed for each optical panel to select one of the seven wavelength set options in Table 200. Each optical panel should be associated with a different wavelength set option. Next, for each optical panel, a selection 202 may be performed to select one wavelength from each of the three columns in Table 200. These wavelength selection steps 201 and 202 ensure that all wavelengths are different, and it has been experimentally found that specific wavelengths in the rows and columns of Table 200 provide the desired results. The wavelengths actually used in embodiments may differ from the ideal wavelengths shown in Table 200 by, for example, about ±10 nm for each wavelength. 【0027】 Figure 3 shows exemplary selections of wavelengths from Table 200 for the optical panels 110 and 120 and wavelengths 111, 112, 113, 121, 122, and 123 of the apparatus 100 in Figure 1. In this example, optical panel 110 is associated with wavelength option set 301, and optical panel 120 is associated with wavelength option set 302. Any two wavelength option sets can be used. For panel 110, the first wavelength 111 is the second wavelength in the first column, the second wavelength 112 is the second wavelength in the second column, and the third wavelength 113 is the second wavelength in the third column. For panel 120, the first wavelength 121 is the first wavelength in the first column, the second wavelength 122 is the third wavelength in the second column, and the third wavelength 123 is the second wavelength in the third column. An exemplary selection is embodied in a device that processes water at six different wavelengths, approximately equal to 630nm, 551nm, 698nm, 374nm, 855nm, and 677nm. 【0028】 Figure 4 shows the results of an exemplary experiment conducted by the inventors using an embodiment of the present invention to treat water. In treatment step 401, 500 mL of water was placed in a glass container with a diameter of approximately 4 inches and a height of approximately 4 inches. One of the LED panels was placed under the glass container and the other on top of the glass container so that both LED panels treated the water in the glass container simultaneously. The water was treated for 45 minutes. 【0029】 After the treatment in step 401, the treated water was placed in a glass beaker in step 402 and then placed in a freezer. The water was observed for several hours until it froze. Image 410 shows the water 90 minutes later at time 403, and image 420 shows the water 16 hours later at time 404. Of note is the appearance of implosion bubbles 411 in image 410, and the presence of water vortices 421 frozen inside the ice in image 420. These unusual structures have never been observed in water before, indicating that the treatment altered the structure of the water. 【0030】 Figure 5 shows the experimental results of a subject who drank 500 mL of water treated according to an embodiment of the present invention. Graph 501 shows a portion of the subject's Biopulser® record, where the blue line 502 (shown as a thin gray line in Figure 5) indicates the time the subject drank the treated water. The results were systemic and immediate (less than 10 seconds). After drinking the treated water, the subject's measurements were far more stable across multiple organ systems. 【0031】 In one or more embodiments, the present invention can be incorporated into a water treatment and distribution device. The device can, for example, maintain a stock of treated water that can be distributed on demand, and distribution can trigger the treatment of additional water to prepare for subsequent distribution cycles. Figure 6 shows an exemplary treatment and distribution device 600. This device has a reservoir 601 that the user fills with untreated water. Lighting and other components are housed in a housing 602. When the user wants treated water, the user can place a container such as a cup or water bottle in the distribution area 603 and use the control panel 605 to start distributing treated water from output 604. The control panel 605 may also include indicators that show the status of the device, for example, indicating when parts need to be replaced or replenished. Because water treatment can take a considerable amount of time (e.g., 45 minutes), the device can hold treated water in one or more tanks so that it can be treated in advance and prepared for distribution. 【0032】 Figure 7 is a block diagram of selected exemplary components of the apparatus 600. The capacity of the reservoir 601 into which the user places untreated water is, for example, 2 L. (This is illustrative, and the capacity of the apparatus and its tanks and reservoir may be of any size.) In this exemplary apparatus, 500 mL of water is processed per cycle. In the first processing step, 500 mL is sent from the reservoir 601 through a filter to the tank 701, where minerals are added to the water from the cartridge 702. After the minerals are added to the water, the mixture is treated with light in a subsequent step (as shown in Figure 8). The control panel 605 can provide indicators to show when the water filter or mineral cartridge 702 needs to be replaced, and can also show when the reservoir 601 needs to be refilled. The panel 605 can also show when the (treated) water is ready to be dispensed and how long the user needs to wait until the next dispensing cycle. When the water is ready to be dispensed, the user can press button 703 to dispense 500 mL of treated water from output 604. 【0033】 Figure 8 is a more detailed block diagram of the components of the apparatus 600. The apparatus has four tanks: a reservoir 601 for storing untreated water, a tank 701 for adding minerals to the water, and two light treatment tanks 801 and 802, each equipped with associated LED panels 811 and 812. Water is sent from the reservoir 601 to the tank 701 where minerals are added, and then to tanks 801 and 802 where the mixture of water and minerals is treated with light. The treated water can be dispensed from either tank 801 or 802. 【0034】 Figures 9 and 10 show flowcharts of exemplary steps performed by the apparatus 600 to process and distribute water. Figure 9 shows the processing step of preparing water for the first distribution. Figure 10 shows an additional processing cycle performed after distribution to prepare for the next distribution cycle. In step 901, the user fills the water tank 601 with untreated water. In step 902, an amount of minerals (e.g., 0.5 mL) is injected into tank 701, and in step 903, 500 mL of water is added to tank 701 (the amount is illustrative). In step 904a, the water and mineral mixture is sent to the phototreatment tank 802. After repeating steps 902 and 903, in step 904b, the water and mineral mixture is sent to the phototreatment tank 801. In step 905, both tanks 801 and 802 are exposed to light for, for example, 45 minutes. If water remains in the water tank 601, steps 902a and 903b are repeated to fill tank 701 and add minerals in preparation for the next phototreatment cycle. After that, event 910 indicates (e.g., on the display panel) that the device is ready to distribute the treated water. The system can also maintain counters for the number of uses of the water filter and mineral cartridge, and these counters can be updated in steps 911 and 912 when water flows through the filter and when minerals are injected from the mineral cartridge. These counters allow the device to indicate when it is time to replace the filter or mineral cartridge. 【0035】 Continuing with Figure 10, when the user presses a button in step 1001 to distribute treated water, the device distributes water from either tank 801 or 802 (depending on which was treated first) in step 1002. Subsequently, steps 904c, 905c, 905d, 902c, 903c, 911c, and 912c repeat mineral mixing and phototreatment, replenishing the tanks that were empty in step 1002. These steps ensure that the device makes treated water available on demand, as long as the user does not distribute it at a rate exceeding the system's processing capacity. 【0036】 The inventors have discovered that wavelengths used in water treatment equipment may be beneficial for phototherapy devices that treat subjects such as humans and animals. Since the human body is primarily composed of water, irradiating human skin with the above wavelengths may affect the body's water content and other tissues. Figure 11 shows an exemplary phototherapy device 1101 that treats subject 1102 using the above-mentioned multiple wavelengths. This exemplary embodiment resembles a tanning bed. One or more embodiments of the present invention may incorporate light emitting multiple wavelengths into any type of phototherapy device that irradiates a subject with light. Examples of phototherapy devices include, but are not limited to, handheld phototherapy devices, phototherapy devices integrated into a cap (e.g., for treating scalp or hair loss), phototherapy beds in which the subject sits or sits for treatment, phototherapy facial devices (directing light towards the face), and phototherapy saunas in which the subject sits for treatment, and so on. Any device that irradiates a subject with light for therapeutic purposes may incorporate any of the wavelengths specified in this specification. The phototherapy device made possible by this invention can irradiate any or more parts of the subject's body with light. The light may be irradiated directly onto the subject's skin or it may affect the skin indirectly through clothing. 【0037】 The phototherapy device 1101 has multiple lights on the inner surface of the top cover of the device. The lights are on the device The lights can be integrated into the device or mounted on it. The lights can be placed anywhere and emit light in any direction. In this exemplary embodiment, the light from the top cover light is directed downward toward the skin of the subject 1102 lying beneath the phototherapy bed. The lights within the device 1101 may be similar to, for example, the lights on panel 110 in the water treatment device 100 in Figure 1. These lights may emit light of three or more wavelengths 111, 112, and 113. These wavelengths can be selected, for example, from the wavelength set options described in Table 1 above. The device 1101 can have any number, any size, and any power of light for each wavelength. In one or more embodiments, the amount of light emitted at each wavelength may be substantially equal. In other embodiments, a single light source that outputs three different light frequencies can be utilized. 【0038】 In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the phototherapy device may have additional light panels having other wavelengths. For example, the phototherapy device 1101 may have a light incorporated in panel 120a located below the subject 1102. The phototherapy device may be equipped with any number of light panels that emit light in any direction. Any number of lights can be placed in each. In one or more embodiments, the second light panel may emit light of wavelengths selected from the wavelength set options listed in Table 2 above. In one or more embodiments, these wavelengths of the second light panel may be different from the wavelengths of other light in the device. In other embodiments, the wavelengths from two or more lights may be the same. 【0039】 Phototherapy devices can have any size, shape, and form factor and can be used to treat any or more parts of a subject. They can be integrated with or connected to other therapy devices or systems. Figures 12 to 15 show other exemplary embodiments of phototherapy devices that use multiple wavelengths of light. Figure 12 shows a phototherapy device 1201 that is similar to or incorporated into a sauna. This device is equipped with lights that irradiate three wavelengths 111, 112, and 113 onto a subject 1202 who is sitting, standing, or lying down in the sauna. Figure 13 shows an exemplary handheld phototherapy device 1301 that can be held by a subject 1302 or another person treating subject 1302. Device 1301 also emits three light wavelengths 111, 112, and 113. Figure 14 shows an example of a facial phototherapy device 1401 that irradiates the face of a subject 1302 with light wavelengths 111, 112, and 113. Figure 15 shows an exemplary phototherapy device 1501, for example, incorporated inside a cap, which irradiates the scalp or hair of a subject 1502 with wavelengths 111, 112, and 113, for example, as a treatment for hair loss. 【0040】 Although the present invention disclosed herein is illustrated by specific embodiments and their applications, those skilled in the art will be able to make numerous modifications and variations without departing from the scope of the invention as described in the claims.
