AMI (Apparatus for Meridian Identification) Device

The Newest, High Performance Japanese Model of the AMI

The AMI model has been renewed with a high efficiency, more compact size and low price. In combination with a notebook laptop personal computer, it is easy to carry and the measured data can be analyzed using other software. It can be effectively used in teaching exercises in fitness clubs and yoga classes as well as more conventional use in hospitals and acupuncture clinics.

Features of the Newest Model:

Small and Light: 55 mm(height) x 175 mm (width) x 290 mm (length), approx. 900g.
It is used in conjunction with the internationally standardized IBM compatible computer (Windows 95/98).
As the measured data is stored in a form which can be directly read into spread sheet software (ex. Excel), users can develop their own analytical research.
The BP resolution has been increased 8 times, resulting in the possibility of more detailed analyses. (10A in the newest mode, in comparison with 80A in the former model.)
It's AC adapter can receive AC voltage between 100 and 230 Volts.

Dr. Motoyama's Findings using the AMI

Extracts from “Measurements of Ki Energy, Diagnosis, & Treatments” (1997) by Hiroshi Motoyama, Ph.D., Ph.D., Tokyo, Japan, Human Science Press

Substantiation of the Existence of Acupuncture Meridians

1) Evidence of Meridians – Triple heater meridian –

2) Experiments with Liquid Crystal

Data Obtained Using the AMI

1) Explanation of Measured Wave Form (BP, IQ, TC, AP)

2) The BP Current mainly flows in the Dermis/Connective Tissue

3) Where Does the Electrical Behavior of IQ, TC and AP take place in the Skin Structure

BP is a Parameter Reflecting Meridian Function. Evidence suggests that the Dermal Connective Tissue is the Physical Location of the Acupuncture Meridian

1) BP alone of the 4 Parameters (BP, AP, IQ and TC) shows a Close Relationship with the Meridian Function

Structure and Function of the Dermis

1) Components of the Dermis and their Structure

2) Characteristics of the Dermal Connective Tissue which seems to determine the BP Values
(the dermal connective tissue as a reservoir for electrolytes)
(a close relationship between hyaluronic acid composition and BP value)

3) The Fundamental Physical Nature of the BP Current which flows in Dermal Connective Tissue

Velocity and Direction of Ki Energy Flow along the Meridians
