Abstract: A plasma decomposition apparatus and method for carbon dioxide decomposes carbon dioxide in a non-thermal plasma state into carbon and oxygen. The apparatus includes: a reactor for decomposing carbon dioxide with an inlet for inflow of carbon dioxide and a outlet for discharge of carbon and oxygen; a plurality of anodes placed in the reactor, having a rod shape elongated in a length direction; a plurality of cathodes placed among the plurality of anodes in the reactor, having a rod shape elongated in the length direction; and a power source applying a predetermined voltage between the plurality of anodes and the plurality of cathodes.

Abstract: A water purification system and method using an ionizer and an ozonation treatment for ionization, oxidation and/or decomposition of undegradeable contaminants is disclosed. A high electron-inducing voltage is first applied to the water in the ionizer so that undergradeable materials are ionized and/pr decomposed, then the water is mixed with ozone so the water is purified to be potable.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically and selectively modifying the source code of a computer program. A parser is provided for scanning the source code portion to recognize select syntax structures of the source code. A code modification portion is included in the parser which inserts instrumentation code at select locations of the source code based on the modification code. The instrumented source code can be compiled and executed using test loads to exercise different portions of the source code and obtain statistics such as frequency of global variable accesses, function calls, frequency of use of multiple code paths, etc.
