X-Message-Number: 25294 From: "leo" <> Subject: MAGNETIC RESONANCE FREEZING Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 00:45:05 +0100 Hallo here are some references for Robert Ettinger and anybody else interested I have search on the internet on the subject of Vitrification by means of electromagnetic forces The first thing I find was a article about microwave irradiation The article was out of 1997 here is the link http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=9200821&dopt=Abstract I could find any more on the subject till I stumbled on a article on Magnetic resonance freezing, it not seems to by based on microwave irradiation. The article is a summary of a larger article out of the ARAI journal, but only subscribers can order the original, on page 24 of this PDF document you can read the summary. http://www.flair-flow.com/industry-docs/sme-syn10.pdf Next I did a patent search and find a Japanese patent from Matsushita Refrigeration This seems to be a big company in the manufactory of Refrigerator Compressors The have hundreds of patent on there name but only one on this subject here is the link. http://l2.espacenet.com/espacenet/viewer?PN=JP2002333250&CY=nl&LG=nl&DB=EPD This invention seems not to be the same thing as Magnetic resonance freezing, the call it Nuclear magnetic resonance freezing There is not a lot of information in these links but it seems a promising way of Accomplishing vitrification and save thawing without crystallization I think CI and ALCOR have to look in to the subject because it looks very promising.
