Application 08/251,999
well water into water containing alkali ions and water
containing acid ions (specification, page 1, lines 6-9).
Claims 10 and 12 are illustrative and read as follows:
10. An apparatus for generating alkali ion water,
comprising:
an electrolytic cell for electrolyzing source water into
alkali ion water and acid ion water;
means for supplying a dc voltage to the electrolytic
cell; and
mans [sic: means] for varying a mean value of the dc
voltage at a constant rate.
12. An apparatus for generating alkali ion water,
comprising:
an electrolytic cell for electrolyzing source water into
alkali ion water and acid ion water;
means for supplying a dc voltage to the electrolytic
cell; and
means for detecting a rate of a variation in a mean value
of the dc voltage.
