BALL CAP APPARATUS FOR PROPAGATING THERAPEUTIC ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
First Claim
1. A head covering garment to administer electromagnetic therapy to treat a cancerous tumor within a brain, the head covering garment comprising:
- at least one solenoid assembly comprising at least;
a first magnetic coil to receive a first time-domain signal consisting of a first series of summed sinusoidal waves from a first power supply, the first series of summed sinusoidal waves being representable as a first set of coefficients in a first Fourier series; and
a second magnetic coil to receive a second time-domain signal consisting of a second series of summed sinusoidal waves from a first power supply, the second series of summed sinusoidal waves being representable as a second set of coefficients in a second Fourier series, wherein the first magnetic coil and the second magnetic coil are oriented relative to each other so as to be nonparallel, the first set of coefficients in the first Fourier series and the second set of coefficients in second Fourier series being selected such that a resultant first combined electrical field formed by superposition forms a local maximum at the cancerous tumor.

Abstract
A head covering garment is configured to administer electromagnetic therapy to treat a cancerous tumor within a brain. The head covering garment includes a crown, which contains within its walls at least two magnetic coils (also referred to herein as solenoid coils). Each solenoid coil is energized, when in therapeutic operation, with a distinct time-domain signal. The time-domain signal consists of a series of summed sinusoidal waves from a power supply. The coils are oriented within the wall of the solenoid assembly such that for any two coils a first magnetic coil and a second magnetic coil are oriented relative to each other so as to be nonparallel. The purpose of having two distinct coils is to focus resultant magnetic fields such that at a tumor site within the brain encloses to form a local maximum formed by superposition within the cancerous tumor.
