Abstract
A device used for treating an object can include a body having multiple mounting surfaces. The device can also include at least three magnets disposed on the mounting surfaces, where each magnet includes a first end and a second end, where the first end has a first polarity, where the second end has a second polarity, and where the first polarity attracts the second polarity to create a magnetic field, and where the magnets create a number of magnetic fields that intersect at a target area. At least one of the magnets can include a core material, and at least one component of the core material is carried by the magnetic field to the target area, where the at least one component core material is used to treat the object.
Claims20
A device used for treating an object, the device comprising:
- a body comprising at least one mounting surface;
- at least three magnets disposed on the at least one mounting surface, wherein each magnet has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end has a first polarity, wherein the second end has a second polarity, wherein the first polarity attracts the second polarity, wherein the second end of each magnet of the at least three magnets is disposed against the at least one mounting surface, wherein no magnet has the first end disposed against the at least one mounting surface;
- and
- a core material disposed within at least one of the at least three magnets,
- wherein all of the at least three magnets are distributed around a center point of the body, wherein each magnet creates a magnetic field, wherein the magnetic field created by each magnet flows from its own second polarity to its own first polarity, wherein the first end of each magnet is tilted toward the center point of the body at an angle relative to the body, wherein the at least three magnetic fields created by the at least three magnets intersect at a first target area above the center point, wherein the core material is used to treat the object in the first target area.
A method for treating a portion of an object, the method comprising:
- providing a device, wherein the device comprises at least three magnets mounted on at least one mounting surface of the device, wherein each magnet comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first end has a first polarity, wherein the second end has a second polarity, and wherein the first polarity attracts the second polarity, wherein the at least three magnets are distributed around a center point of the at least three magnets, wherein the second end of each magnet of the at least three magnets is disposed against the at least one mounting surface, wherein no magnet has the first end disposed against the at least one mounting surface, wherein at least one of the at least three magnets has disposed therein a core material;
- placing the device at a location proximate to the portion of the object, wherein each magnet generates a magnetic field, wherein the magnetic field created by each magnet flows from its own second polarity to its own first polarity, wherein the first end of each magnet is tilted toward the center point at an angle relative to the at least one mounting surface, wherein the magnetic fields generated by the at least three magnets intersect in a first target area above the center point, wherein the portion of the object is disposed in the first target area, wherein the core material is used to treat the object in the first target area;
- and
- removing, after a period of time, the device from the location proximate to the portion of the object.
