Abstract:
A gas pipe integrated block includes a plurality of internal pipe paths. The plurality of internal pipe paths are connected to a nitrogen-free ozone generator in which a photocatalytic material for generating ozone is applied to a discharge surface, a controller (an MFC, a gas filter, and an APC), a raw material gas supply port, and an ozone gas output port. Thereby, a raw material gas input pipe path extending from the raw material gas supply port through the APC to the nitrogen-free ozone gas generator, and an ozone gas output pipe path extending from the nitrogen-free ozone generator through the gas filter and the MFC to the ozone gas output port, are formed in an integrated unit.

Abstract:
A dielectric 13 is provided on each of opposing surfaces of a pair of electrodes 14. Discharge gaps 20 communicating with a raw material gas supply path and an ozone gas removal path are formed between the pair of dielectrics 13. A functional film 17 is formed on each of the pair of dielectrics 13 so as to face the discharge gaps 20. The functional film 17 contains a first metal oxide of one or more metals selected from a group consisting of niobium, tantalum, molybdenum, and chromium, and a second metal oxide of one or more metals selected from a group consisting of titanium, tungsten, zinc, and iron.
Abstract:
A silent discharge plasma apparatus includes a dielectric member, a pair of electrodes opposed to each other across the dielectric member and an alternating-current source applying an alternating-current voltage between the electrodes and causing a discharge. A gas is supplied to a discharge space, where discharge occurs, and a plasma is produced. At least one of the electrodes includes a conductive power feeding thin film on the dielectric member. When the dielectric member is destroyed and an arc discharge develops between the electrodes, the power feeding thin film is eliminated or oxidized, and the arc discharge is stopped.
Abstract:
An apparatus for the production of ionized oxygen and ozone from pure oxygen. An adjustable high voltage power supply is connected to an ozone generator having at least one ozone generator therein. The HV power supply has a relatively low voltage setting for producing negative ionized oxygen and a relatively high voltage setting for producing ozone. A negative ionizer may be included to increase the concentration of negative ionized oxygen. Outputted gasses are directed to a hermetically sealed envelope positioned around and in spaced relation from the surface of a patient's injury. If the wound is infected, ozone is selectively used to treat the infection for a first predetermined period of time sufficient to neutralize the infection. After the wound is treated with ozone, negative ionized oxygen is selectively used to treat the wound for a second predetermined period of time sufficient to enhance the healing of the wound.

In one example, the disclosure is directed to an ozone output system for supplying ozone to at least one of a plurality of devices that demand ozone. The system may comprise an ozone generator arranged to provide ozone to at least one device, a pulse density modulation output, an inverter-based power delivery (IBPD) circuit, and an output control circuit (OCC).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for sterilizing articles using an ozone-containing gas, where condensation of water from the sterilization atmosphere during the sterilization process is substantially prevented. The inventive sterilization method includes providing a sterilization chamber and placing an article into the sterilization chamber. The sterilization chamber is sealed prior to equalizing the temperature of the article and the atmosphere in the sterilization chamber. A vacuum is applied to achieve a preselected vacuum pressure in the sterilization chamber. Once the vacuum pressure is set, water vapour is supplied to the sterilization chamber. Ozone-containing gas is then supplied to the sterilization chamber and the sterilization chamber remains sealed for a preselected treatment period, where the sterilization chamber remains sealed throughout the whole process. Finally, vacuum in the sterilization chamber is released.
Abstract:
An ambient ozone control system for generating a desired ozone concentration within a substantially enclosed single-room structure. The system is provided for estimating the volume of the structure in which it is being utilized, and for generating a desired output level of ozone based upon the calculated structure volume. The system includes a user interface, which includes an ozone concentration control for adjusting the desired ozone concentration, a fan control for adjusting the intensity of a fan, and a display. A structure measuring device acquires at least one interior dimension of the structure by measuring the distance from the structure measuring device to at least one of the boundaries of the structure. The processing device calculates the amount of ozone required to achieve the desired ozone concentration within the structure and causes the ozone generating device to generate that amount of ozone.
Abstract:
An apparatus for generating ozone in high concentration with efficiency and linearly controlling the concentration of ozone is disclosed. The apparatus includes an oxygen generator, a flat plate type ozone generator, a high-voltage transformer, a high-frequency inverter, a cooling-water supplier, and a control signal generator. The high-frequency inverter linearly controls the concentration of ozone by applying a high-frequency voltage pulse generated according to a predetermined ON/OFF time ratio corresponding to a voltage level of a control signal, to the flat plate type ozone generator through the high-voltage transformer. The flat plate type ozone generator uses a flat plate type ceramic as dielectrics, thereby optimizing the efficiency of ozone generation and the endurance of the ozone generator, and thus simultaneously miniaturizing dimension thereof.

Systems and methods are provided for compensating for variations in line voltages the power an electro-kinetic air transporter and conditioner device. The electro-kinetic air transporter and conditioner device includes a high voltage generator that provides a potential difference between at least one emitter electrode and at least one collector electrode. The high voltage generator is driven by both a DC voltage obtained from an AC voltage source, and a low voltage pulse signal. The DC voltage is stepped down to produce a voltage sense signal indicative of a level of AC voltage source. The voltage sense signal is monitored. At least one of a pulse width, duty cycle and frequency of the low voltage pulse signal is adjusted, based on the monitored voltage sense signal, in order to substantially maintain the potential difference at a desired level.
