Abstract

An on-demand system for preventing and/neutralizing bioactive substances employs real time monitoring of the fluid for bioactive substances. Once a specific bioactive substance is detected, then a specific neutralizing substance is selected, such as an oxidizing substance, intense ultraviolet light, a neutralizing substance or other substances selected for particular threats. In another example of the invention, a device neutralizing a substance would include a container that would be capable of containing each of the plurality of precursors, a collecting space for receiving each of the plurality of precursors selected by the selector, and a dispensing mechanism for dispensing the neutralizing substance. In one example the neutralizing substance is formulated by the reactions of the precursors in order to neutralize the substance. The device may alternatively select a plurality of precursors to produce an aroma-producing substance and alternatively may neutralize the aroma-producing substance if it harmful or lethal, for example.

Claims

1. A device for selecting a plurality of precursors to produce a neutralizing substance for a substance to be neutralized, comprising a container capable of containing each of the plurality of precursors, a selector capable of selecting each of the plurality of precursors, a collecting space for receiving each of the plurality of precursors selected by the selector, and a dispensing mechanism for dispensing the neutralizing substance formed by a plurality of the plurality of precursors such that the neutralizing substance is formulated to neutralize the substance to be neutralized.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the selector includes a mechanical member.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein the mechanical member includes a programmable robotic arm.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the container includes a plurality of bubble membranes, each of the plurality of bubble membranes being capable of containing one of the pluralities of precursors.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the container is formed by a solid substance, and the selector is capable of selecting a controlled amount of at least one of the plurality of precursors by liquefying or vaporizing at least a portion of the solid substance.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the container is a protective coating selected such that the selector is capable of selecting a controlled amount of at least one of the plurality of precursors by removing at least a portion of the protective coating.

7. The device of claim 1, further comprising a cleanser such that undesirable reactions between the precursors or the neutralizing substances are prevented by cleansing the collecting space.

8. A device of claim 1, wherein the device is utilized in a fragrance dispenser such that the neutralizing substance is produced for the substance to be neutralized is an aroma-producing substance.

9. The device of claim 1, wherein the container comprises replaceable cartridges.

10. The device of claim 1, wherein a combination of a plurality of the plurality of the plurality of precursors forms the neutralizing substance such that the neutralizing substance acts as an antidote.

11. The device of claim 1, wherein a combination of a plurality of the plurality of precursors forms the neutralizing substance such that the neutralizing substance is an oxidizing substance.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein one of the plurality of precursors, is chlorine gas and another one of the plurality of precursors, is sodium hydroxide, such that sodium hypochlorite is formed.

13. The device of claim 11, wherein one of the plurality of precursors, is calcium oxide and another one of the plurality of precursors, is calcium dioxide, such that calcium carbonate is formed.

14. The device of claim 11, wherein one of the plurality of precursors, is sodium carbonate and another one of the plurality of precursors, is carbon dioxide, such that sodium bicarbonate is formed.

15. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of the precursors is a common precursor for forming a plurality of neutralizing substances for neutralizing a plurality of different substances to be neutralized.

16. The device of claim 15, wherein one of the pluralities of the precursors is Pylm, such that, in combination with other of the plurality of precursors, the neutralizing substance formed is a substance selected from the group of neutralizing substances consisting of Pylm-5 and Pylm-13.

17. The device of claim 1, further comprising a sensor for detecting soman and a substance to be neutralized selected from the group of substances consisting of sarin and tabun.

18. The device of claim 17, wherein the sensor is capable of detecting and distinguishing soman from sarin or tabun.

19. The device of claim 18, wherein the sensor exhibits a serum organophosphorous hydrolase activity with sarin but not soman.

20. The device of claim 18, wherein the sensor exhibits a organophosphorous activity that is higher for soman than for tabun.

21. A system comprising a detecting system capable of detecting and identifying a plurality of substances to be neutralized;
