    摘要: A delivery apparatus (100) includes a volatile agent source (104), a controller, and an emanator material (106). The volatile agent source (104) stores a volume of a volatile agent such as a fragrance. The volatile agent source (104) includes an outlet (136) for delivery of the volatile agent from the volatile agent source (104). The controller controls a delivery rate of the volatile agent from the volatile agent source (104). The emanator material (106) is disposed at approximately the outlet (106) of the volatile agent source (104). The emanator material (106) absorbs at least a portion of the volatile agent and maintains the volatile agent until the volatile agent evaporates into an ambient environment.

    摘要: An apparatus for sterilizing and/or deodorizing objects is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such an apparatus includes an ozone source (102) to provide ozone, and a hydrogen peroxide source (104) to provide hydrogen peroxide. A mixing element (106) intermixes the ozone and hydrogen peroxide to produce a mixture comprising oxidizing radicals. An applicator (116) applies the mixture to an object before the oxidizing radicals decompose. The oxidizing radicals in the mixture work to oxidize organic substances, thereby interrupting the life cycle of living organisms and/or destroying or neutralizing odors. In selected embodiments, the applicator (116) disperses the mixture into a closed environment, such as a substantially sealed room or enclosure, to sterilize and/or deodorize objects contained therein. A corresponding method is also disclosed herein.

    摘要: A high-temperature, steam-selective membrane (100) for adding steam to or removing steam from various types of chemical reactions is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a membrane includes a polymer layer (102) exhibiting high selectivity to the transport of steam relative to other gas species. The polymer layer (102) is sandwiched between substantially rigid porous layers (104a and104b) that are steam permeable. The rigid porous layers substantially (104a and 104b) immobilize the polymer layer (102) and reduce the tendency of the polymer layer (102) to shrink and/or expand in response to changes in temperature or humidity. The rigid porous layers (104a and 104b) may also retain water to keep the polymer layer (102) moist. The physical support and moisture retention provided by the rigid porous layers (104a and 104b) enable the polymer layer (102) to operate in a temperature range of about 100°C to 500°C.

The first and second chemical reactants (14a) react with one another to generate a (14b) beneficial agent (14b) and enhance the permeability of the skin (e.g., by generating heat). The beneficial agent (14b) may then be applied to the skin while the permeability of the skin is enhanced. In selected embodiments, the first chemical reactant (14a) includes one or more metals, or alloys thereof, that are compatible (i.e., not harmful) with the skin. Similarly, in selected embodiments, the second chemical reactant (14a) may include water. In certain embodiments, the beneficial agent generated by the first and second chemical reactants (14a) includes an antioxidant such as hydrogen.

    摘要: A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system (10) includes an on-board ammonia generation system (21) that produces nitrogen from air and hydrogen from a source of a hydrogen-containing compound, and generates an ammonia product from the nitrogen and hydrogen to provide the ammonia product into an exhaust from a NOx generator (15) to reduce the NOx in the exhaust. Oxygen from one or both of the nitrogen generator (24) and the hydrogen generation cell (27) can be supplied to the NOx generator (15) for cleaner combustion or to a particulate filter (18) for cleaning the filter. H2O from the NOx generator (15) can at least partially provide a water source for the hydrogen generation cell (27).
