Townsend Brown, and it might very well be his daughter who is shown in the picture, as she worked closely with him on it for a time although I believe that might have been at a later date. It seems the patent used by the Ionic Breeze / Sharper Image people was basically Brown's invention with a trivial modification. This is the Brown who is better known for his flying electrodynamic discs of post WWII fame and his involvement with UFO reseach. There is quite a story being written about him and his work which is quite a tale about secret government research and disinformation campaigns to keep the research results secret.
