High Definition Impedance Imaging
High Definition Impedance Imaging (HDII) technology is a multi-dimensional and multi-variable extension of Ohm's Law. Output signals are based on fixed-frequency input signals allowing ambient noisy signals (e.g. 60 Hz power signals and lightning electrical noise) to be removed. Our technology yields an almost limitless number of voxels (i.e. three-dimensional pixels) that produces very high definition images and related physical parameters. This information has applications in the fields of medicine, geology and military sciences.
Medical
Biomedical image recovery uniquely yields electrical tissue values. HDII therefore has diagnostic capability. This provides medical practitioners a unique and heretofore unavailable diagnostic utility. It produces 3D images from the outset rather than by structuring them from a set of 2D slices. Human tissues have distinctive electrical properties that allow biomedical imaging to measure tissue variances that predict tissue health status. This technology is equally effective whether viewing and analyzing soft tissue or bone. It is anticipated that Electroscan HDII machines will be more functional than other biomedical scanners marketed at many times the Electroscan cost. It addresses the need to significantly improve the sensitivity and specificity of electrical impedance imaging. Once proven to successfully diagnose breast cancer and brain damage caused by stroke or explosive discharge, it can be applied to other cancers and diseases. The other outstanding benefit is that it can be used to monitor a treatment regime without the concern of radiation exposure. Electroscan HDII is a disruptive technology.
Military
Ordnance detection is a unique tool provided by Electroscan HDII. HDII technology can be used to detect and image buried plastic or metal clandestine IED explosives at any depth. The HDII equipment yields three-dimensional images that can be immediately recognized by military personnel. This is in contrast to the more commonly used signature-recognition methods. An important application is for the early assessment of brain damage due to explosives.
Border Control
A subterranean wired system maps the underground tunnels and caverns along the border perimeter route. The image monitoring is viewed and controlled at a small number of monitoring site. An alternative scheme is to outfit aircraft and/or vehicles to traverse the boundary and monitor tunnel location and installation activity.
Geological Mapping
HDII can provide comprehensive, scientific studies of the earth's surface and its sub-strata by investigating various soil and rock formations. These studies can be used to locate and map soil, mineral, and precious metal deposits. Oil lodes and oil strata can be mapped. HDII works at any frequency, however low. And HDII can demarcate mineral ore lodes and do so at any depth. We license our technology to companies that perform aerial and/or surface logging services.
Trapped Miner Location
HDII allows signal excitations from the surface and from available subsurface locations. Three dimensional imaging is performed at any depth. Ambient noise is of virtually no account. High definition imaging is obtained at low frequencies because of the large number of measurements achieved by the large number of linearly independent measurements taken over the electrode or antenna array.
Subterranean Contamination
Pollution plumes are mapped using a grid of electrodes or non-contact antennas to map leachate plumes coming from sanitary landfill sites or oil spills from gasoline tanks. In addition, the HDII technology can be used to discover and evaluate the nature and extent of environmental contamination, analyze soil pollution problems, and suggest abatement measures designed to promote an earth-friendly environment.
