Abstract:
In accordance with at least one exemplary embodiment, a syringe device, method and system for delivering a therapeutic amount of ozone are disclosed. A sterility case can enclose a syringe portion and can maintain sterility while the syringe device is interfaced to an ozone generator. A valvably-controlled fluid channel can extend from the barrel of the syringe through the case. Conducting elements can be attached to the case and can breach the case. The conductive elements can be connected to electrodes. The electrodes can be attached to the syringe. The syringe portion can be filled with oxygen gas via the valvably-controlled fluid channel. An electric current can be provided to the conductive elements from an ozone generator resulting in a corona discharge from at least one electrode. A therapeutic amount of ozone gas can be produced from the oxygen gas and the syringe delivered into the sterile field without compromise.
Abstract:
An ozone generator includes one or more electrode pairs each containing two electrodes arranged at a distance of a predetermined gap length and a power source for applying an alternating-current voltage between the two electrodes. In the ozone generator, ozone is produced when a source gas flows at least between the two electrodes and a discharge is generated between the two electrodes. The ozone generator has a discharge space formed between the two electrodes, and the ozone generator satisfies the condition of 0.5
Abstract:
An ozone generator includes a transformer, a direct current power supply unit connected to a primary side of the transformer, a reactor connected to a secondary side of the transformer, a semiconductor switch connected between one end of a primary winding of the transformer and the direct current power supply unit, and a control circuit for implementing ON-OFF control of the semiconductor switch to thereby apply alternating current voltage to the reactor. The control circuit implements control to minimize electric signal on the primary side of the transformer by updating a switching frequency by a fixed change width from a reference frequency, and determines that a failure has occurred if the number of updates by the fixed change width exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract:
An ozone generating element includes a laminated body including stacked dielectric layers. A discharge electrode is provided on a first of the dielectric layers. An induction electrode is provided on a second of the dielectric layers that is opposed to the discharge electrode with the first dielectric layer interposed therebetween. A protective layer is arranged on the first dielectric layer so as to cover the discharge electrode, and includes a glass ceramic.
Abstract:
An infection control device includes a plurality of air inlets spaced around the device's peripheral skirt. A negative ion ozone generator having a plurality of spaced pointed projections is inwardly of the peripheral skirt with a ground disk inwardly of the generator. Air flows through the inlets to the generator, to the disk and to a catheter exit site.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a portable ozone generator for use in small, confined, uninhabited spaces, such as refrigerators. The generator has a clam shell top and bottom. The bottom is of unitary construction and houses batteries. The top house electrical components, including circuitry for time generation of ozone.
Abstract:
A sealed multi-chambered bag, that is a flexible container, is made of dielectric material and contains two electrode plates (preferably screen plates) that are separated by an internal wall of the bag. Materials to be sterilized are placed between one or the other or both of the electrode plates and the interior wall. The interior wall allows the plates to be contained within the bag without the risk of damaging high voltage discharges occurring between plates optimal ozone production occurs in the bag immediately adjacent to where the materials to be sterilized are located. The bag is placed within a chamber containing an aperture which is connected to the intake of a pump. A conductor connects each electrode plate to an opposed terminal of a high tension transformer. Both the pump and the transformer are connected to timing circuitry, which turns on the pump and the transformer and, then periodically turns the pump off and on to deflate and re-inflate the chambered bag and circulates the ozone produced therein to all virulence on the materials being sterilized. The gas within the bag alternatively expands and compresses before the transformer is turned off. The timer circuit allows the pump to continue to cycle on and off thereafter (preferably at an increased cycling rate) until the ozone off gas remaining in the bag is destroyed by molecular collision, surface reactions or otherwise.

Abstract:
Oxygen in the air passing through the duct, is converted into ozone for delivery to combustion and oxygenation processes. A conducting element 12 supported on an insulated standoff 13 within a conducting duct 11 has a voltage applied between element 12 and duct 11. This voltage produces a corona on the element whereby ozone is generated. Addition of a grid 24 enhances ozone production. In addition, a provision to vary the voltage on grid 24 whereby the ozone production is controlled further enhances the device. In addition standoff 13 carries supply wire 14 whereby the electrical connection to element 12 is facilitated.
