    Abstract: A device for inhibiting condensation distortion on an optical element of a medical instrument configured for insertion into a body cavity is provided. The device may include a housing; a cavity within the housing, the cavity being sized to removably retain at least a portion of the medical instrument therein, wherein the portion includes the optical element; a plasma activation zone within the cavity and arranged such that when the at least a portion of the medical instrument is retained within the cavity, the optical element is located within the plasma activation zone; a plasma generator configured to be activated to cause formation of a plasma cloud in the plasma activation zone in a vicinity of the optical element; and a controller configured to activate the plasma generator for a time period sufficient to cause the optical element to become hydrophilic prior to insertion into the body cavity.

    Abstract: A capacitor capable of releasing reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species after powering of claim 1 is composed of the dielectric material. A plurality of through holes are designed on the capacitor, the through holes being used as air gaps to supply plasma gas and blow a fan to increase the gas flow, and the voltage being connected to the two corresponding electrode edges of the capacitor so that the capacitor generating a heating temperature (lower than 200 degrees Celsius). Thereby, after the capacitor is perforated to form honeycomb shape and powered, the air surrounding the capacitor flowing through the capacitor is ionized to the oxygen ion and nitrogen ion via heating and charge-discharge, generates plasma at room temperature and atmospheric pressure and releases the reactive oxygen ions and reactive nitrogen ions healing and helpful for body healing.

    Abstract: A connector is configured to electrically connect a plasma emitter array with an identification chip to a power supply controller, and to further mechanically support the emitter device supporting the array during use. Cooperating components of the connector and emitter device form a magnetic latch assembly: the connector includes one or more magnets flush with a top receiving surface of the connector, and one or more alignment pegs extending outward from the receiving surface; the emitter device includes a steel plate attached to a substrate, and one or more holes disposed through the plate and the substrate. The holes align with the alignment pegs and the magnets attract the plate and secure the emitter device against the top receiving surface. Electrical contacts of the connector establish electrical communication with the identification chip, providing power to the emitter device and enabling the controller to read data stored in the identification chip.
