Abstract: Different aspects of the invention refer to a disinfection apparatus, and corresponding method, for wood barrel disinfection using microwave shock pulse, MwSP, technology for the complete elimination of microbial populations. This is accomplished by a system which ensures deep and complete disinfection, however such that the temperature is maintained below material degradation level. Complete disinfection is achieved due to effectiveness up to the deepest layers. The wooden barrel material is however preserved, due to the non-harmful nature of the dosage regime programmed into the radio frequency emission.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for selectively emitting scent control material responsive to local conditions of a scent control device. The local conditions may dictate the effectiveness of a given set of output parameters of a scent control device. The scent control device accepts as input, one or more conditional inputs carrying information about the local conditions around the scent control device, such as weather conditions, elevation, barometric pressure, or functional status of the scent control device. Operational programs corresponding to the conditional inputs may be automatically selected based on the combination of conditional inputs to cause the output parameters of the scent control device to match or take into account the local conditions. The scent control device then outputs scent control material such as ozone at a rate effective to control one or more scents to a level that is not perceivable by animals or humans.
