Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mixture for producing chlorine dioxide gas provided in an enclosure comprising an impregnate comprising a chlorine dioxide precursor impregnated in a porous carrier and a proton-generating species, wherein the impregnate and proton-generating species are intermixed to produce a stable mixture and the mixture is provided in an enclosure. The present disclosure also relates to methods for producing chlorine dioxide gas.

Abstract: A shipping system for a medical device, such as implantable lens for an eye, is provided that may be reconfigured from a shipping mode into an injection mode without manually handling the contained lens or other device. Upon manufacture, a lens may be placed within the system assembly in the shipping configuration. Upon arrival at the destination, the user may attach a nozzle assembly for injecting the device into a body. A new assembly for a medical device utilizing the shipping systems is also disclosed. The insertion assembly includes a body for containing the medical device, a plunger casing, a finger-engaging flange, and a resilient ring member all of which are formed as a single piece assembly. Additionally a nozzle assembly may be integrally formed with the insertion assembly or formed as a separate body that is attachable to the insertion assembly.

Abstract: A self-contained generator/fumigator and delivery system is described herein that provides for sealed containment to store, isolate and protect two or more solid and/or liquid reactants in separate chambers. Upon activation, the container facilitates robust mixing of the reactants, the containment thereof and allows the release of a pre-determined amount of gaseous products, e.g., chlorine dioxide, carbon dioxide and others, into a targeted volume of water, air or other solution.

Abstract: A shipping system for a medical device, such as implantable lens for an eye, is provided that may be reconfigured from a shipping mode into an injection mode without manually handling the contained lens or other device. Upon manufacture, a lens may be placed within the system assembly in the shipping configuration. While in the shipping configuration, the lens is kept in its desired shape and within a selected environment. Upon arrival at the destination, the user may attach fittings for injection of the device into a body. The process of changing from the shipping to the injection mode deforms the device into a shape suitable for injection. A new assembly for insertion of a medical device utilizing the shipping systems is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus that uses microwave energy to produce highly active forms of oxidizing compounds that react with nitric oxide and other lower valence components in gaseous streams to form compounds that can be readily removed by conventional pollution abatement processes. An oxidation chamber is used to simultaneously expose the oxidizing compound to microwave energy and contact it with the gaseous stream. The present invention provides a reliable, cost effective means of oxidizing pollutants into forms that can be effectively removed using existing pollution abatement devices.
