  • Patent number: 6878349
    Abstract: A pollution control apparatus and method reduces contaminants, such as NOx and SOx pollutants, from an effluent gas stream. The pollution control device includes a resonance chamber that ionizes the effluent gas stream. The contaminants of the effluent gas stream are destroyed in a non-thermal plasma reactor. The effluent gas is then cooled in a cooling unit to substantially place the effluent gas in a non-excited state prior to releasing the effluent gas into the environment or re-injecting the effluent gas into the source of the effluent gas. Re-association of the radical oxides into harmful pollutants is thereby substantially prevented.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4895370
    Abstract: A random number selection device (10) is provided with a support base (20) having a pair of extending substantially parallel arms (22) between which a hollow container (30) is rotatably mounted. Within container (30) there is provided a plurality of balls (15) each having indicia (17) representing a different numeric symbol to provide a random selection of digits. Coupled to container (30) there is provided, ball distributor (40) having a sliding actuator (42) with a plurality of partitions integrally formed thereon to define queuing spaces (50) therebetween. Ball receiving housing (46) having a plurality of integrally formed partitions (48), defining ball receiving chambers (45) is coupled to a tubular housing (44) of distributor (40). Sliding actuator (42) is biased in a first position by a spring (49), in this position partitions (43 and 48) cooperate to prevent balls (15A) located in queuing spaces (50), when container (30) is inverted, from entering the respective ball receiving chambers (45).
