Abstract:
An ozone exhaust system in an image forming apparatus having a multiple number of process printing units, includes: exhaust ducts for exhausting ozone arising in the process printing units. In the ozone exhaust system, the exhaust ducts are mainly constituted of process printing unit's side exhaust ducts provided respectively along multiple charger cases and a main exhaust duct to which the process printing unit's side exhaust ducts are connected, and the process printing unit's side exhaust ducts are constructed so that the air current that flows into the charger cases and the air current that flows from the process printing unit's side exhaust ducts into the main exhaust duct are directed in the same direction.
Abstract:
An ozone infection control device includes a body portion having a channel or passageway for receiving a catheter so that the catheter may extend from outwardly of the device to a catheter exit site at a central area of the device. A plurality of air inlet openings are spaced around a peripheral skirt of the device. A negative ion ozone generator having a plurality of spaced pointed projections is located within the body portion inwardly of the peripheral skirt and in the path of flow of air flowing through the inlet openings to generate ozone from the air. An oppositely charged ground disk is mounted within the body portion inwardly of the ozone generator. Air flows along a path of flow from the inlet openings to the ozone generator where ozone is created. The path of flow then extends to the ground disk and to the catheter exit site to bathe the catheter exit site with anti-microbial ozone. The flow path would then exit from the device through the catheter passageway.

Abstract:
A plasma-generation power-supply device includes a transformer connected to an alternating-current power-supply, a rectifier connected to the transformer, an inverter connected to the rectifier, a reactor inserted in series in a power line of an ozonizer that is supplied with power from the inverter, and a controller that controls the inverter. The controller detects the current flowing to the ozonizer with a current detector and provides a control that keeps power applied to the ozonizer constant.

Abstract:
A powder-based double dielectric barrier discharge (DDBD) electrode array for use within a gas phase corona reactor (GPCR) device to be incorporated within a system for air treatment and purification designed to be operational in the production of ozone-enriched air and the disintegration of air-borne pollutants. In DDBD based GPCR systems, the energy density at a given voltage is inversely proportional to the distance between pairs of adjacent electrodes of opposite polarity. There is a significant drop in energy density as spatial separation from a discharge point is increased, such that energy becomes significantly lower even at short distances away from a discharge point. In the multi-electrode crisscross array of the present invention, the geometrical placement of the electrodes increases the efficiency of the system via two parameters, the close proximity of oppositely charged electrodes and the multiplicity of electrodes configuration, that is, crisscross arrays of electrodes.
Abstract:
An air conditioner device includes a housing, a first electrode disposed in the housing, and a second electrode removably disposed in the housing. The second electrode can be manually removed from the housing and then manually returned to a resting position within the housing. A base member is attached to a bottom portion of the second electrode. An at least partially flexible cleaning member is attached to the base member. The cleaning member frictionally cleans the first electrode when, after being removed from the housing, the second electrode is manually returned to the resting position within the housing.
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 personal electro-kinetic electro-static air conditioner includes a self-contained ion generator that provides electro-kinetically moved air with ions and safe amounts of ozone, and includes a water retaining element to increase humidity of the output air flow. The ion generator includes a high voltage pulse generator whose output pulses are coupled between first and second electrode arrays. Preferably the first electrode array includes first and second pointed electrodes, and the second electrode array includes annular-like electrodes having a central opening coaxial with the associated pointed electrode. The surface of the annular-like electrodes is smooth and continuous through the opening and into a collar region through which the air flows. A water retaining member is disposed surrounding the output airflow to increase humidity of the output air, which is substantially cleansed of particulate matter, and contains safe amounts of ozone.
Abstract:
A system massages a user's feet and generates an electro-kinetic airflow that contains safe amounts of ozone that can deodorize the user's feet or socks. The system includes an ion generator comprising a high voltage pulse generator whose output pulses are coupled between left and right first and second electrode arrays. Preferably the first electrode array includes first and second pointed electrodes, and the second electrode array includes annular-like electrodes having a central opening coaxial with the associated pointed electrode. Preferably the annular-like electrodes are formed from a single sheet of metal by extrusion or punching such that the surface of the annular-like electrodes is smooth and continuous through the opening and into a collar region through which the air flows. Particulate matter in the ambient air electrostatically adheres to the smooth continuous surface of the annular-like electrodes.
