Abstract: According to one or exemplary embodiments, there is provided a Gas Infusion Module that is a compact, inexpensive, adjustable, and easy to clean apparatus for infusing a beverage, such as coffee or tea, with a gas. The Gas Infusion Module controls the mixing of the gas with a liquid beverage in a homogenization element. To achieve an enhanced homogenization of gas and liquid, first the Gas Infusion Module regulates the pressure of gas that will enter the homogenization element and mix with the liquid. Additionally, the liquid and gas mixture passes through an outlet check valve which forces greater homogenization of the aerated fluid before it is dispensed for consumption.

The apparatus includes an aeration chamber, an ozone generator coupler, a distribution hub, a plurality of porous tubes, and a degassing unit. The ozone generator coupler allows the apparatus to connect with a pressurized supply of ozone gas. The aeration chamber is used to retain the water that is currently being aerated by the ozone gas. The distribution hub receives the ozone gas from the ozone generator coupler and distributes the ozone gas amongst the porous tubes. The ozone gas is then evenly inserted from the porous tubes into the water retained by the aeration chamber. The degassing unit is used to neutralize the excess ozone before exhausting the excess ozone into the apparatus's surroundings.

Abstract: A humidifier with regular addition of fixed quantity of essential oil has a main body, and a water storage bucket assembling with the main body. The main body has an opening located on one side, an inner casing corresponding to the opening, and a peristaltic pump provided on a side of the inner casing not facing the opening. The inner casing defines an essential oil bottle accommodation space communicating with the opening, and the essential oil bottle accommodation space is provided for disposing an essential oil bottle storing an essential oil. The peristaltic pump is controlled by the main body, thereby fixed quantity of essential oil is supplied regularly and quantitatively by the humidifier without dismounting the water storage bucket. Thus, fragrance is kept in atomizing air continuously to solve the problem of the conventional humidifier that fragrance merely exists when the essential oil is added initially.
