On November 17, 1981, Mr. James Briggs, of Pasadena, California patented
a device for measuring and indicating changes in resistance of a living
body, under patent 4,300,574. The patent was originally filed on
December 19, 1979. The Assignee at the time the patent was issued was
was Frank Zurn, Hollywood, California. On April 19, 1982, the patent
was assigned to Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, Saint Hill Manor, East
Grinstead, Sussex, England. On February 13, 1989, the patent was
distributed to Norman F. Starkey. On January 18, 1994, the Cpatent was
assigned to the Church of Spiritual Technology, 419 North Larchmont,
#162 Los Angeles, California 90004.
The patent cited the following other patents. Meyer, 3,841,316; Shaw,
3,980,073, Lock, 4,016,870; Tomacek, 4,112,923. Also cited was the
article Lie Detector, by J. Jacobs in Elektor magazine, November 1975 p.
1143. Also another article called Integrated Circuit Measurement of
Skin Conductance, by R.D. MacPherson in the Behavioral Research
Methodology and Instrumentation, August 1976 page 361-364. Also an
article called Non-Polarizing, High Accuracy Skin Resistance Transducer
for Digital Conversion, by H. Zimmer, and American Journal and
Electronics, April -June 1964, pages 101-104.
Description: a device for measuring and indicating changes in the
resistance of a living body including a single battery sources, a means
for setting a reference voltage level provided across the battery, a
unity gain high input impedance and low output impedance buffer
amplifier having as its input the reference voltage level, a balanceable
resistance bridge having the output of the buffer amplifier applied
thereto and having the living body coupled thereto as a part of the
bridge, a meter amplifier for amplifying any imbalances in the bridge
caused by chances in the resistance of the living body and a meter
coupled to the output of the meter amplifier for indicating the changes
in resistance fo the living body.
The patent recently expired.

Resistance is futile. You will be enturbulated. Xenu always prevails.
