  • Publication number: 20160081373
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, devices, and systems for introducing cavitations into a liquid. In some implementations, the methods and devices allow for small batch processing of a liquid with a transducer, which introduces ultrasonic energy into the liquid causing cavitations. In some instances, the cavitations may fragment or degrade compounds within the liquid and enhance the quality of the liquid. This disclosure also describes methods and systems of introducing cavitations into a liquid via a continuous flow system to process a large quantity of liquid.

  • Patent number: 8163271
    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a composition for highly efficient and quick plaque and tartar removal and inhibition including pure ascorbic acid crystals and/or granulars (vitamin C) and an enamel repairing composition such as hydroxyapatite. The composition can contain from about 10% up to 90% of ascorbic acid without compromising the tooth enamel because hydroxyapatite will repair any damage to the enamel. The composition can be used as dental powder, toothpaste, mouthwash, mouth spray and chewing gum in order to cover a wide range of consumers in different settings.

  • Patent number: 7220439
    Abstract: A method and system for altering the interaction of wine ingredients to obtain changes in wine resembling many years of natural aging, a more complete homogenous solution, and an extended shelf life. The method includes application of ultrasonic radiation to a solution containing wine ingredients at a frequency causing cavitation, optimizing the application of ultrasonic radiation to cause cavitation throughout the solution, and continuing the application of the ultrasonic radiation for a duration sufficient for the cavitation to produce a consumable wine product. The system provided implements the described method.

  • Patent number: 7198809
    Abstract: A method for removing entrained gases from wine by applying ultrasonic radiation to a solution containing wine ingredients at a frequency causing cavitation, optimizing the application of ultrasonic radiation to cause cavitation throughout the solution, and continuing the application of the ultrasonic radiation for a duration sufficient for the cavitation to remove entrained gases.
