First Claim
1. Apparatus for targeted release of a molecule carried in a circulating reservoir, comprising:
- at least one electrode; and
a controller adapted to electrify said electrodes with at least one electric field, said electric field operative to have at least one desired effect related to said circulating reservoir with said molecule, wherein said electrode and said electrification are adapted such that at least one of said at least one effects is selectively applied to a particular blood vessel that carries blood through tissue and wherein said at least one effect that is selectively applied comprises a release effect, which releases said molecule from said circulating reservoir that circulates in said blood vessel.

Abstract
Apparatus (800) for targeted release of a molecule carried in a circulating reservoir, comprising: at least one electrode (804); and a controller (810) adapted to electrify said electrode (804) with at least one electric field, said electric field operative to have at least one desired effect related to said circulating reservoir with said molecule, wherein said electrode and said electrification are adapted such that at least one of said effects is selectively applied to a particular blood vessel that carries blood through tissue and wherein said at least one effect that is selectively applied comprises a release effect, which releases said molecule from said circulating reservoir that circulates in said blood vessel.

72. A method of targeted release, comprising:
-
providing a circulating reservoir in a blood stream, said reservoir including a molecule; and applying an electric field, by a controller and through at least one electrode, the electric field having at least one desired effect on a particular blood vessel containing said circulating reservoir, said field being sufficient to cause release of said molecule from said reservoir. - View Dependent Claims (73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95)
