Latest Patents

Melvin’s patent, “Downstream Plasma Reactor System with an Improved Plasma Tube Sealing,” describes a reactor with a reaction chamber connected to an inlet conduit and plasma tube. A sealing member sits between the tube and conduit, while a blocking member—preferably made with a fluorocarbon polymer—is positioned closer to the plasma tube’s discharge opening. The blocking member is designed to prevent a substantial quantity of plasma-generated reactive species from reaching the sealing member during operation. Melvin is credited with 1 patent.
