Abstract: A system for infusing ion clusters into a target environment includes a housing, a fan, and an ion cluster generation component. The housing has intake and outflow openings. The fan forces air through the intake opening and along a route. The interior surface areas of the housing adjacent to the route are electrically insulating. The route can take either a first path or a second path. The first path goes along a straight path from the fan, through the ion cluster generation component and through the outflow opening. The second path goes along a first segment and a second segment. The first segment runs from the fan and through the ion cluster generation component. The second segment runs from the end of the first segment and extends downwardly through the outflow opening.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for extracting material from a container includes a handle and a knife blade. The handle has a neck and a primary axis. The knife blade is coupled to the handle and has a first edge and a second edge. The first edge is configured to conform to a bottom surface of the container. The second edge is configured to conform to an interior wall of the container. An oblique angle is formed by the first edge and the second edge. Another oblique angle is formed between the primary axis of the handle and the first edge of the knife.
