Patent number: 6756597Abstract: A fluid sterilization apparatus including a sterilization chamber having a cavity therein, and a nozzle for receiving pressurized fluid and directing a spray of the fluid into the cavity. An electron beam generator having an exit window is mounted to the sterilization chamber for directing a beam of electrons through the exit window and into the cavity of the sterilization chamber to irradiate the spray of fluid. The nozzle is configured to direct the spray of fluid substantially parallel and proximate to the exit window.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2001Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Advanced Electron Beams, Inc.Inventors: Tzvi Avnery, Kenneth P Felis

Patent number: 6674229Abstract: An exit window for an electron beam emitter through which electrons pass in an electron beam includes an exit window foil having an interior and an exterior surface with a series of holes formed therethrough. A corrosion resistant layer having high thermal conductivity extends over the exterior surface and the holes of the exit window foil for resisting corrosion and increasing thermal conductivity. The layer extending over the holes of the exit window foil provide thinner window regions which allow easier passage of the electrons through the exit window.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2002Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: Advanced Electron Beams, Inc.Inventors: Tzvi Avnery, Kenneth P.

Patent number: 6609662Abstract: A telephone calling card includes a planar card member with a scratch-off label positioned on a surface of the planar card member. The scratch-off label includes a base label having an opaque, releasable film layer and a PIN printed on the opaque, releasable film layer. A scratch-off cover label is secured on the base label and has a scratch-off layer that covers the PIN to obscure from viewing the PIN. Upon application of a peeling force to remove the scratch-off cover label, the opaque, releasable film layer is removed and hides the printed PIN from viewing via the backside of the opaque, releasable film layer. In one aspect of the present invention, the scratch-off cover label is folded over the base label.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2001Date of Patent: August 26, 2003Assignee: Profold, Inc.Inventors: William R. Annacone, Kenneth P. Felis, Vincent Kubert

Patent number: 6407492Abstract: An electron accelerator includes a vacuum chamber having an electron beam exit window. The exit window is formed of metallic foil bonded in metal to metal contact with the vacuum chamber to provide a gas tight seal therebetween. The exit window is less than about 12.5 microns thick. The vacuum chamber is hermetically sealed to preserve a permanent self-sustained vacuum therein. An electron generator is positioned within the vacuum chamber for generating electrons. A housing surrounds the electron generator. The housing has an electron permeable region formed in the housing between the electron generator and the exit window for allowing electrons to accelerate from the electron generator out the exit window in an electron beam when a voltage potential is applied between the housing and the exit window.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1999Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Assignee: Advanced Electron Beams, Inc.Inventors: Tzvi Avnery, Kenneth P.

Patent number: 6194045Abstract: A rigid magnetic memory disc (28) is disclosed having a substantially flat, central hard core substrate (12) and an overlying smoothing layer (14) deposited thereon. The smoothing layer (14) is subsequently polished to a predetermined thickness. The smoothing layer (14) should be capable of having a surface finish better than approximately ten Angstroms Ra. After the smoothing layer (14) is polished, an appropriate magnetic medium (16) and alternately, a nonmagnetic finishing layer (16) are then applied to the rigid disc substrate (10) as necessary, ultimately rendering a finished magnetic disc.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1995Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Inventors: William R. Annacone, Kenneth P. Felis, Dennis E. Speliotis
