Abstract: An electrostatic precipitation air cleaner to reduce ozone output is provided. The electrostatic precipitation air cleaner includes a housing with an air inlet and outlet. Located in the housing are an air mover for moving a stream of air along an airflow path between the inlet and the outlet, an ion emitter electrode positioned in the airflow path downstream of the inlet for ionizing particulates entrained in the stream of air, a collector electrode having an inlet downstream of the ion emitter electrode, and an intermediate element intermediate the ion emitter electrode and the collector electrode. The collector electrode is comprised of a plurality of collector plates spaced apart in a direction transverse to the airflow path. The plates are electrically biased to create and maintain an electric field in the space therebetween to precipitate ionized particulates entrained in the stream of air onto a confronting surfaces of the plates.

Abstract: A portable rechargeable personal ionic air purifier energizing a personal airspace and cleaning particulate pollutants therefrom in a manner that poses little or no personal shock risk and that minimizes battery drain to maximize battery life includes ionization means and ionization actuation means cooperative to provide ion bursts at regular intervals to energize and to clean particulates from the personal airspace. The ionization means includes an ion emitter and the ionization activation means includes means for providing a pulse train of predetermined frequency and duty cycle. The ion emitter may be removably mounted to a portable housing and/or to a facemask or other objects in the personal airspace via an elongated flexible cable.

Abstract: A sound machine having a pseudo random white noise generator provides white noise sound therapy of selectable tone/texture, bandwidth and/or peak frequency to those suffering from tinnitus or others seeking noise-masking or sleep or relaxation. The sound machine having a pseudo random white noise generator includes a user input interface having a tone/texture user input control, a band pass user input control and a peak select user input control. The tone/texture user input control selects the tone/texture of the white noise sound generated, the bandpass user input control the bandpass of the white noise sound generated and the peak select user input control provides the ability to select frequency peaks of the white noise sound generated.
