Abstract: When an ultraviolet pasteurizer is used in a room free of a person, left and right light shield doors are opened to expose ultraviolet lamps outwardly. When an operation switch on a control panel is then turned on, an operation start timer is actuated, and the ultraviolet lamps are then energized to sterilize surrounding surfaces after elapse of 5 minutes. When the ultraviolet pasteurizer is used in a room occupied by a person, the left and right light shield doors are closed to direct the ultraviolet lamps inwardly until all light shield doors are brought into a substantially triangular prism. When the operation switch on the control panel is then turned on, the ultraviolet lamps and a fan are energized to draw external air from an air inlet. The drawn air passes through an inner radiation chamber defined inwardly of the light shield doors that have been combined into the substantially triangular prism. The air is sterilized by ultraviolet radiation emitted from the ultraviolet lamps and discharged from an air outlet.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for the use of ozone as a sterilant for many classes of surgical instruments which are at least partially metallic. Three features are the connection of a voltage carrying part of the instrument to be sterilized as the electrode of an ozone generating cell, which employs a glow discharge and maintaining the temperature of this electrode below 500null C., and that no solid dielectric exists between opposed electrodes in the ozone generating cell. Ozone is thereby localized about voltage carrying and any non-voltage carrying parts of the electrode connected instrument. The control of electrode heating helps to maintain the increasing atmospheric concentration of the ozone, which will however eventually reach a natural limit. Local heating of the electrode configuration is controlled where the instrument to be sterilized is connected at least periodically as the negative electrode. This helps to avoid the avalanche of the ozone generating glow discharge into an unproductive arc. There is no tendency for a glow to arc transition to occur from a field enhancement at an irregular surface. The glow discharge is rendered more stable when no solid dielectric exists between opposed electrodes in the ozone generating cell and a smooth surfaced plate acts as an anode, the electric field distribution provides the necessary accelerating field everywhere over a cathode object for production of ultraviolet light, soft x-rays and charged particles with energies sufficient to sterilize on impact with the surface. The slightly enhanced field at a surface irregularity caused by a contaminating microbe will rapidly disappear as the enhanced field destroys the microbe.

Abstract: A non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma reactor including a primary dielectric having at least one slit defined therein and a segmented electrode including a plurality of electrode segments. Each electrode segment disposed proximate and in fluid communication with an associated slit. The slit in the dielectric may be formed in any number of ways such as a plurality of slits defined in a substantially planar dielectric plate. Other configurations include a plurality of dielectric segments (e.g., bars, slabs, rings, annular sections) assembled together so that a slit is formed between adjacent dielectric segments. In operation a voltage differential is applied between the segmented electrode and a receiving electrode disposed proximate the primary dielectric to produce a plasma discharge. The plasma discharge is emitted through the slits in the primary dielectric. This inventive plasma discharge device configuration produces a relatively high density non-thermal plasma discharge of relatively large volume yet is relatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
