  • Publication number: 20230312345
    Abstract: A dinitrogen pentoxide generating device and a method for generating dinitrogen pentoxide. An NOx generating unit is able to use, as a raw material gas, a gas containing nitrogen and oxygen and produce a plasma to generate a nitrogen oxide. An ozone generating unit is able to use, as a raw material gas, the gas containing nitrogen and oxygen or a gas obtained after the plasma has been produced by the NOx generating unit and produce a plasma to generate ozone. A mixing unit is able to hold the nitrogen oxide generated by the NOx generating unit and the ozone generated by the ozone generating unit in the same space for a predetermined time to generate dinitrogen pentoxide.

  • Patent number: 10925285
    Abstract: A pathogen and pest exterminating device that can efficiently exterminate pathogens and pests in a shorter time. One electrode includes a part to be inserted into a reaction vessel, and other electrode is arranged in a position that opposes the insertion part. A water supply unit is provided to supply water to the reaction vessel through the insertion part, and a gas supply unit provided of supplying gas, which will become plasma, to the reaction vessel. A power supply unit is provided to be capable of applying voltage between the insertion part and the other electrode such that OH radicals are generated inside the reaction vessel to which the water and the gas are supplied. The insertion part is formed in a shape that restricts, between itself and the other electrode, a flow rate of water from the water supply unit such as a coil, waveform, or mesh shape.

  • Publication number: 20070042394
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for producing a DNA doped carbon cluster capable of introducing DNA into the cavity of a carbon cluster. An apparatus for producing a DNA doped carbon cluster comprising a radio frequency current applying electrode which is composed of a porous material or a wire mesh capable of retaining a solution containing DNA, a grounding electrode placed opposite to the radio frequency current applying electrode, and a power source for supplying a radio frequency output to the radio frequency current applying electrode, wherein the grounding electrode bears hollow carbon clusters on its surface.

  • Patent number: 4505068
    Abstract: The plants above are grown in a cultivation container from seeds or young plants to the condition of them enabling to harvest. The cultivation containers are transfered in sequence to each cultivation area from the cultivation starting region of the cultivation factory to the cultivation ending region every day or every cultivation hour. During the transfer of the plant, the plant to be cultivated in the cultivation containers are supplied with water by means of a water supply apparatus of cultivation liquid.Application of light is restricted to the plant by a cover until the cultivation ending zone and light is applied to the plant at ending of the cultivation to grow them. Consequently, good plant and vegetables are obtained.The seeds mentioned above are scattered in the cultivation containers through a seed scattering apparatus. The seed scattering apparatus is provided with a scale for measuring a unit volume of the seeds.
