Patent number: 7674341Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for more thoroughly cleaning internal combustion engines, fuel systems and emission systems and that operate with reduced toxic emissions. The invention provides an apparatus that contains at least one vessel for receiving a cleaning fluid and an electrode in a cleaning fluid flow path configured to apply a charge to a cleaning fluid. The cleaning fluids are unique fuel derived products which do not contain detergents. The apparatus is unique in that it can provide any of several cleaning processes including a pre-combustion cleaning process, a post-combustion cleaning process or a combined pre-combustion and post-combustion cleaning process. The method is particularly effective at cleaning oxygen sensors in exhaust systems.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2006Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: UView Ultraviolet Systems Inc.Inventors: Andrew Stansilaw, Tony Ferraro, John Charles Muir, Phil Trigiani

Publication number: 20080283626Abstract: A mist-generating device that can be connected to a vehicle's Low Direct Current Voltage (LDCV) power supply is disclosed. The device can be used to treat mold, bacteria and clean or remove odors on exposed and hard-to-reach surfaces of the interior of a car. The device can include a unique filling system that can be used to prevent foreign materials from entering into the unit, including fluids or substances that would deteriorate the performance of the unit or the components of the device itself. The inside of the device can include an internal anti-foam and anti-splash structure designed to keep electronic components dry and reduce the foaming and turbulence of the fluid being misted. Further, the inside of the device in one embodiment is split into three adjacent areas, which govern efficient flow of air and atomized chemicals through the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2008Publication date: November 20, 2008Applicant: UVIEW ULTRAVIOLET SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Leonardo Aldana, Andrew Stanislaw Chochol, Tony Ferraro, Kerwyn Prescod, Ting On Wong, Sasan Raissi

Patent number: 6360790Abstract: An apparatus for adding coolant to a cooling system of a motor vehicle includes a cap with a resilient sleeve that expands against the inside wall of a radiator filler neck to provide an airtight connection. A valve attached to the cap controls the flow of air and coolant through the cap. A gauge on the cap indicates the pressure inside the radiator. A venturi assembly connected to the valve provides a source of vacuum for evacuating air from the cooling system. Thereafter, coolant is drawn through the cap by the vacuum created in the system.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2001Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: UView Ultraviolet Systems, Inc.Inventors: Thomas L.
