  • Patent number: 5366619
    Abstract: A germfree drinking water dispenser includes a reservoir for receiving and reserving drinking water such as mineral water and an ozone injecting device. The ozone injecting device includes a compact ozone generator and an injection opening which is opened into the reservoir. Ozone generated by the ozone generator is injected, by e.g. a blower, through the injection opening into the drinking water at the reservoir. The ozone injecting device is activated only for a short necessary period of time when the dispenser is out of service. So that, after the drinking water in the reservoir is fully sterilized, a sufficient period of time is allowed to lapse for any ozone remaining in the water to dissolve until the next first use of the dispenser.

  • Patent number: 5072297
    Abstract: A method and system for multiplexing additional audio information in the form of pulse code modulation (PCM) audio signals onto a television signal. The PCM audio signal is time multiplexed into scanning retrace intervals of the video signal. At a receiver, the bit error rate of the decoded PCM audio signal is compared with a threshold so as to switch the audio output from the PCM audio signal to a conventional FM demodulated audio signal when the bit error rate exceeds the predetermined threshold. In this way, the benefits of both PCM audio and FM audio can be obtained by utilizing the higher immunity of FM signals in low signal-to-noise ratio environments, while the high fidelity PCM audio signal is utilized when the signal-to-noise ratio environment is relatively high.
