A portable air purifier for reducing pollutants in the passenger cabin of a vehicle to concentrations at least as low as the US-EPA National Ambient Air Quality Standards for: carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, lead, and particulate matter; plus benzene to a European ambient air standard. The purifier includes an air inlet and air outlet in communication with the vehicle cabin, with air circulation provided by a DC electric motor / blower attachable to a vehicle power plug. The filter assembly includes a specified series of filter media packets and a HEPA filter. The machine's preferred location is in the center of a rear seat where it can serve as an armrest / console and be secured by a seat belt.

An implantable medical device for treating the back of a patient. Stimulation energy is delivered to muscles or joint capsules or ligaments or nerve fibers to improve the heath of the back.

Compositions comprising a (A) dithiino-tetracarboximide of formula (I) and at least one agriculturally beneficial biological control agent (B) are disclosed. A method for curatively or preventively controlling phytopathogenic fungi of plants or crops is disclosed. A method for treating seed and a method for protecting seed are disclosed.

A sterilization and decontamination system in which a non-thermal plasma discharge device is disposed upstream of a suspension media (e.g., a filter, electrostatic precipitator, carbon bed). The plasma discharge device generates a plasma that is emitted through apertures (e.g., capillaries or slits) in the primary dielectric. Plasma generated active sterilizing species when exposed to contaminants or undesirable particulate matter is able to deactivate or reduce such matter in contaminated fluid stream and / or on objects. Thus, the undesirable contaminants in the fluid to be treated are first reduced during their exposure to the plasma generated active sterilizing species in the plasma region of the discharge device. Furthermore, the plasma generated active sterilizing species are carried downstream to suspension media and upon contact therewith deactivate the contaminants collected on the suspension media itself. Advantageously, the suspension media may be cleansed in situ. To increase the sterilization efficiency an additive, free or carrier gas (e.g., alcohol, water, dry air) may be injected into the apertures defined in the primary dielectric. These additives increase the concentration of plasma generated active sterilizing agents while reducing the byproduct of generated undesirable ozone pollutants. Downstream of the filter the fluid stream may be further treated by being exposed to a catalyst media or additional suspension media to further reduce the amount of undesirable particulate matter.
