Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cellular telephone cases fail to effectively absorb microwave radiation, leading to potential health risks such as decreased sperm quality in men due to direct contact with the body, as they are not designed to absorb non-ionizing radiation efficiently.

Innovation Solution

The use of high-density organic materials like hardwoods and leathers, layered with DNA-rich materials and ferrite micro/nano-spheres in adhesives to enhance microwave absorption, creating a cellular telephone case that significantly increases the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and reduces microwave exposure to the user.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining DNA-containing materials with traditional case materials. The DNA-rich material is integrated into the case structure through layering with woods, leathers, or plastics, creating a composite that simultaneously provides physical protection and microwave absorption. This resolves the contradiction by adding a functional layer that addresses radiation exposure without compromising the protective function of the base case material.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the material composition parameter by incorporating DNA-containing materials with specific absorption characteristics. The DNA material is applied in sufficient quantities and configurations (layering, coating, embedding) to achieve the desired microwave absorption rate. This parameter change enables the case to absorb microwaves at a rate 24 times greater than conventional materials, directly addressing the harmful radiation exposure issue.

2Object-affected harmful factors

If DNA-containing materials are added to enhance microwave absorption, then radiation protection is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemicrowave absorption rateVSAvoidcase structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the case into functional layers: a base protective layer (wood, leather, or plastic) and a DNA-containing absorption layer. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function independently - the base layer provides structural protection while the DNA layer handles microwave absorption. The layered structure simplifies the overall design by separating concerns rather than requiring a completely new complex material.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses adhesives as intermediary materials to bond the DNA-containing material to the base case material. These adhesives serve as mediators that facilitate the integration of the functional DNA layer without requiring complex mechanical or chemical bonding processes. The intermediary adhesive simplifies the manufacturing process while achieving the desired integrated structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A case containing DNA material protect the user from non-ionizing radiation emitted from a mobile phone, while protecting the phone from physical damage. The DNA material absorbs the radiation emitting from the transmitter of the mobile phone. Layers of DNA material along with non-organic layers are advantageously combine to increase the absorption. The DNA material may be used form the case or be provided and an insert to a prior art case.
