Title: Jason M Helgren: Innovator in Plasma Technology
Introduction
Jason M Helgren is a notable inventor based in Madison, WI (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of plasma technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approaches to functionalizing surfaces and improving disinfection processes.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Plasma-enhanced functionalization of inorganic oxide surfaces." This patent describes methods for producing plasma-treated, functionalized inorganic oxide surfaces. The methods involve subjecting an oxide surface to plasma to create hydroxyl functionalities, which are then reacted with epoxy group-containing molecules in situ without plasma. This technique allows for the immobilization of biomolecules on the resulting functionalized surfaces and can be applied to various oxide surfaces, including glass, quartz, silica, and metal oxides.
Another significant patent is "Plasma-assisted disinfection of milking machines." This invention focuses on a milking machine teat cup where an animal's teat is inserted during milking. It features a first electrode that extends around or within the teat cup liner. To clean and disinfect the liner, a second electrode is inserted, and both electrodes are charged to generate plasma in the space between them. The plasma species produced effectively destroy organisms that cause mastitis and can also eliminate other unwanted organisms while cleaning the liner's interior.
