Patent number: 9737895Abstract: A portable rechargeable personal ionic air purifier energizing a personal airspace and cleaning particulate pollutants therefrom in a manner that poses little or no personal shock risk and that minimizes battery drain to maximize battery life includes ionization means and ionization actuation means cooperative to provide ion bursts at regular intervals to energize and to clean particulates from the personal airspace. The ionization means includes an ion emitter and the ionization activation means includes means for providing a pulse train of predetermined frequency and duty cycle. The ion emitter may be removably mounted to a portable housing and/or to a facemask or other objects in the personal airspace via an elongated flexible cable.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2015Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Headwaters IncInventors: Philippe J. Genereux, Rudy A. Vandenbelt, Troy G. Anderson

Patent number: 9694154Abstract: A sound machine having a pseudo random white noise generator provides white noise sound therapy of selectable tone/texture, bandwidth and/or peak frequency to those suffering from tinnitus or others seeking noise-masking or sleep or relaxation. The sound machine having a pseudo random white noise generator includes a user input interface having a tone/texture user input control, a band pass user input control and a peak select user input control. The tone/texture user input control selects the tone/texture of the white noise sound generated, the bandpass user input control the bandpass of the white noise sound generated and the peak select user input control provides the ability to select frequency peaks of the white noise sound generated.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Headwaters IncInventors: Philippe J. Genereux, Rudy A. Vandenbelt

Patent number: 7244290Abstract: An electrostatic room air cleaner includes a housing having a given profile and a plurality of electrostatic precipitation collector units arrayed in the housing with a common fan to circulate room air through the plurality of electrostatic precipitation collector units simultaneously. A total clean air delivery rate is delivered that is determined as the arithmetic sum of the clean air delivery rates of the plurality of electrostatic precipitation collector units arrayed in the housing of given profile. The greater the number of units arrayed, the smaller may be their size, and the easier they are to handle, maintain and replace.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2004Date of Patent: July 17, 2007Assignee: Headwaters, Inc.Inventors: Rudy A. Vandenbelt, Charles M. Lanning, Ross L. Cowie

Patent number: 7215526Abstract: The invention is directed towards an efficient and ozone free ion generator in which the ion emitter is open to the surrounding space while the collector is provided by electrical ground remote and away from the ion emitter. In the case of a household generator, the ground is the electrical ground of the house. In the case of a car generator, the ground is the car frame. A safety circuit is arranged to turn the high voltage off if a hand or other body member (or pet) comes near or touches the exposed emitter to prevent electrical shock.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2005Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: Headwaters, Inc.Inventors: Joannou Constantinos, Rudy A. Vandenbelt, Ross L. Cowie, Charles R. Lanning
