Patent number: 11931690Abstract: An ionization device may be configured to be portable, and to rest on a surface such as a floor or desk top. The ionization device includes an air-intake port, an ion generator, an ozone catalyst for removing at least some ozone from air, and an air discharge. Air enters the device through the air-intake port, and at least some of the air is ionized to remove particulates. The air is then moved past or through the ozone catalyst to remove at least some of the ozone from the air. A controller may be used to monitor particulates, temperature, humidity, and/or other relevant factors and/or to adjust the ionization level.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: IONaer International Arizona, LLCInventors: Timothy M. Bender, Brian K. Roper, Todd K. Roper, Perry Pauley

Publication number: 20230186709Abstract: An intelligent lock, overlock, and lock system can be electrically controlled to open and close one or more locks. The lock, lock system, and method may function on a frequency selected to avoid cross talk, which permits numerous locks to function simultaneously on the same central system with little interruption or delay. A lock may be used as an overlock for an existing lock or be a primary lock and may include a pivoting engagement structure that engages a locking mechanism to provide added strength.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: Acuity Technical Designs, LLCInventors: Brian K. Roper, Todd K. Roper, Daniel Blanc-Gonnet

Patent number: 11577195Abstract: Ionization systems and methods include moving air into contact with one or more ion generators and then past an ozone removal assembly to remove at least some ozone from the air. The air may be moved by a fan and may be filtered before contacting the one or more ion generators. The amount of one or more of the following of the air may be measured: the amount of ions, particulates, temperature, humidity, and other relevant factors. The ionization amount may be adjusted based on one or more of the measured amounts. The one or more ion generators and ozone removal assembly may be constructed as part of a single unit so they can be removed and replaced easily.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: IONaer International Arizona, LLCInventors: Timothy M. Bender, Perry Pauley, Brian K. Roper, Todd K. Roper
