Abstract: The invention provides an improved method for creating at least two flows of water from a reactor, derived from substantially pH7 water, for various applications and having widely divergent pH readings between 2 and 14 without need for chemicals. In addition, the reactor generates said divergent flows without need of an RF or A/C generator.

Abstract: A detector comprising an elongated strip of semiconductor material which is photoconductive by the generation of electron and hole photocarriers when an image is moved along the strip. The strip includes an active region and a readout region. A first bias current is applied through the active region of the strip thereby producing an ambipolar drift of photocarriers in the strip whose velocity substantially matches the velocity of the movement of the image along said strip. A second bias current is applied to the readout region of the strip so that the drift of the photocarriers in the readout region has a velocity which is greater than the velocity of the drift of the photocarriers in the active region of the strip, thereby decreasing the time for readout.
