1. :
- A method of providing magnetized particles at a location using particles which can be switched between magnetic and non-magnetic states by exposure to a suitable magnetic field, the method comprising;
conveying the particles in their non-magnetic state to the location; and
exposing the particles to the suitable magnetic field so that they switch to their magnetic state.

Abstract
A method of providing magnetised particles at a location using particles which can be switched between magnetic and non-magnetic states by exposure to a suitable magnetic field. The method comprises conveying the particles in their non-magnetic state to the location; and then exposing the particles to the suitable magnetic field so that they switch to their magnetic state.

22. :
- A method of locally treating a selected biological material in vitro or in vivo, comprising the steps of;
providing anisotropic particles adapted to being switched between magnetic and non-magnetic states; locating the particles in their nonmagnetic states to a position within the biological material; providing a magnetic field adapted to exposing the particles to an effective magnetic flux, wherein the magnetic flux causes at least some of the particles to switch to their magnetic states and move; causing a disruption of some of the biological material adjacent the moving and magnetized particles; and returning the particles to their nonmagnetic state. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
