Patent number: 7828225Abstract: A system and method for delivering catalytic molecular structure to a combustion chamber is disclosed. Catalyst base materials are reduced to a micronic fog by a device using the ultrasonic vibration of a piezoelectric disc. The liquid base materials evaporate instantly upon entering the engines air stream therefore releasing pure catalyst molecules into the combustion zone, thus reducing the time taken for catalytic combustion to the lowest denominator possible and allowing for the greatest effect achievable. This further reduces the amount of catalyst needed in the base solution compared to any other type of device or additive. The system also allows a user to control the delivery rate of the catalyst to the combustion chamber.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2008Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Inventor: Emmett Manuel Cunningham

Patent number: 7712683Abstract: A removable replaceable cartridge for use with a liquid diffusing device. The cartridge includes a venturi, a conduit extending to the venturi, a mixing area and an outlet path for atomizing and dispersing a liquid within the cartridge. A diffusion device including a removable replaceable cartridge received within a housing. The housing includes a source of compressed gas which is directed into the cartridge. A venturi head with a unitary body for use with a diffusion device.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2007Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Prolitec, Inc.Inventors: Marc Robert, Richard Weening

Patent number: 5236127Abstract: A humidifier comprises a liquid storing chamber provided in the lower portion of the casing. A nozzle is provided in the upper portion of the casing. An adaptor, provided in the upper portion of the casing, introduces compressed air and liquid into the nozzle. A liquid sucking pipe communicates with a liquid sucking opening of the adaptor and extends vertically downward to the vicinity of the bottom surface of the liquid storing chamber. A float is provided in the liquid storing chamber and is movable along the inner surface of the liquid storing chamber, depending on the amount of the liquid stored therein. A liquid cutoff lever is provided above the float and contacts the upper surface thereof. A liquid cutoff valve, of a liquid cutoff device mounted on the casing is operated by the liquid cutoff lever so that the capacity of the liquid to be controlled by the liquid cutoff valve is small, for example 30 cc.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1992Date of Patent: August 17, 1993Assignee: H. Ikeuchi & Co., Ltd.Inventors: Norio Ohnishi, Satoru Tanaka, Akio Shimizu

Patent number: 4930664Abstract: A portable sprayer which has a resealable closure, a dispensing valve and a quick disconnect one-way valve attached to a receptacle. As the receptacle is filled with fluid through the one-way valve, air which is entrapped in the receptacle pressurizes the container to facilitate dispensing the fluid. By locking the dispensing valve open or by opening the top closure of the sprayer, and securing a hose to the quick disconnect one-way valve, one can flush the sprayer out by allowing fresh water to flow continually through the system.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 1988Date of Patent: June 5, 1990Assignee: Root-Lowell Manufacturing CompanyInventor: Garry L. Ellison

Patent number: 4805609Abstract: A novel ventilating system (10) for human patients including nebulizing means (15A) for nebulizing a liquid medication into a supply (28A, 29A) of humidified breathable gas under pressure. The nebulizing means (15A) comprises a nebulizing module having a cap portion (25) to which is attached a vial-like nebulizing chamber (54A). In order to maintain the hermetic integrity of the system (10) a two-position, flow control valve assembly (64) is operatively connected to and in selective flow communication with, a lower region of the vial-like, liquid-retention nebulizing chamber (54A). The valve assembly (64) is configured so that it can be manually actuated between a first position precluding access to chamber (54A) or a second position for drainage of liquid (59A) from within the nebulizer chamber (54A) or addition of liquid to such chamber while maintaining system sealing and pressure. A liquid handling means such as a syringe (68) is used to control withdrawal or addition of liquid.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 1987Date of Patent: February 21, 1989Assignee: Josephine A. RobertsInventors: Josephine A. Roberts, Jephthae W. Burwell

Patent number: 4789190Abstract: A system for improving the power of vehicle wheels on a support, e.g. a winter slippery surface, has nozzles near the wheels supplied with a sticky or tacky liquid from a container under the control of the driver. The container is connected with a doser and with a source of compressed air, e.g. compressor, which is used for both application of the liquid to the wheels and cleaning the nozzles. The system includes a dosing reservoir and a three-way valve, the container being connected with a first branch of the valve, the dosing reservoir being connected with a second branch of the valve, nozzles being connected with the third branch of the valve. A first conduit extends from the compressor to the reservoir for application of the liquid and a second conduit extends from the compressor to the nozzles for cleaning the same. Alternatively, dosing may be carried out by the aid of time controlled dosing directly from the container and time controlled supply of compressed air to the nozzles.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1987Date of Patent: December 6, 1988Assignee: UC System A/SInventors: Einar Eike, Ragnvald Skarelven
