  • Patent number: 11877378
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a fine bubble generator, a gas supplying source, a first plasma generator, a second plasma generator, a power source and a control module. The fine bubble generator is configured to generate fine bubbles in a liquid. The gas supplying source is configured to supply a working gas. The first plasma generator is configured to generate a first plasma gas from the working gas. The second plasma generator is configured to generate a second plasma gas from the working gas. The power source is configured to supply electricity to the first plasma generator and the second plasma generator. The control module is configured to adjust the power source to provide power to the first plasma generator and the second plasma generator. The first plasma gas and the second plasma gas are directed into the liquid.

  • Patent number: 10121638
    Abstract: An atmospheric-pressure plasma jet generating device is disclosed, which comprises a housing, a discharge tube, an air inlet, and an outlet. The air inlet is connected to the outlet and the discharge tube. The discharge tube includes an internal electrode, a first dielectric material, and an external electrode. The first dielectric material is placed between the external electrode and the internal electrode, and there are some channels between internal electrode and first dielectric tube. An external power source is electrically connected to the internal electrode and the external electrode to generate a high electric field within the discharge tube. When the working gas flows through the discharge tube from the air inlet, the plasma is generated by the high electric field, and then flows out through the outlet. The present invention can generate non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma jet for biomedical processing.
