Remote controlled in vivo reaction method

摘要

Embodiments of a system including a remotely controlled reaction device and associated controller are described. Methods of use and control of the device are also disclosed. According to various embodiments, a reaction device is placed in an environment in order to perform a chemical reaction in an environment. Exemplary environments include a body of an organism, a body of water, or an enclosed volume of a fluid. In selected embodiments, a magnetic field, an electric field, or electromagnetic control signal may be used.

主权项

1. A reaction method, comprising:
wirelessly receiving an electromagnetic control signal from a remote control signal source with a magnetically or electrically responsive control element in a reaction device located in a body of an organism; in response to the received electromagnetic control signal, modifying a reaction condition at a reaction region formed on the magnetically or electrically responsive control element through a response of the magnetically or electrically responsive control element, to thereby modify a reaction occurring at the reaction region; and releasing a product of the reaction at the reaction region into the body of the organism, wherein modifying a reaction condition at a reaction region formed on the magnetically or electrically responsive control element through a response of the magnetically or electrically responsive control element includes modifying a reaction condition at a reaction region formed on the magnetically or electrically responsive control element through cooling of the magnetically or electrically responsive control element.
