Patent number: 8398264Abstract: A lighting device with at least one first-element that emits visible light at a wavelength and irradiance sufficient to inactivate one or more pathogenic bacterial species, and at least one second element that emits light of one or more longer wave-lengths to that of the first-element. The at least one second element has a higher illuminance than that of the at least one inactivating element or component.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2008Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: University of StrathclydeInventors: John Anderson, Michelle MacLean, Scott John MacGregor, Gerald Alexander Woolsey

Patent number: 7270195Abstract: Material is removed from a body of material, e.g. to create a bore hole, by plasma channel drilling. High voltage, high energy, rapid rise time electrical pulses are delivered many times per second to an electrode assembly in contact with the material body to generate therein elongate plasma channels which expand rapidly following electrical breakdown of the material causing the material to fracture and fragment.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2003Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: University of StrathclydeInventors: Scott John MacGregor, Steven McCallum Turnbull

Publication number: 20040069611Abstract: There is disclosed a method for the purification or decontaminating of contaminated a gased and liquids and for the production of biocidal liquids that have a finite activity period. The method comprising the steps of aerating or sparging a liquid (17) with a gas such as to provide a suspension of bubbles (17A) within the body of the liquid, and then subjecting the aerated or sparged liquid to a pulsed electrical field having a magnitude sufficiently high to create ionisation activity in the gas bubbles (17A).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2003Publication date: April 15, 2004Inventor: Scott John MacGregor

Patent number: 6573663Abstract: A high intensity light source comprises a solid dielectric sheet having its back surface in contact with a conducting medium, which is electrically conducted to a fixed potential (such as ground) and its front surface free to receive electric charge to be electrostatically bound to the sheet. In one example, the charge is delivered to the surface by a unipolar Corona discharge arrangement having a plurality of Corona sources at different locations over the surface of the sheet. In order to generate a light output from the source, the electric charge build-up on the surface is discharged as an electric discharge by the rapid application of a switchable voltage to at least a localized region of the surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 1999Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: University of StrathyclydeInventors: Scott John MacGregor, Richard Anthony Fouracre
