  • Patent number: 8038777
    Abstract: An air sterilization device with low aerosol bounce includes an air conditioning pipe, a porous filter media, and a UV light generator. This porous filter media, it is secured on the fixing portion. This porous filter media has many irregularly distributed channels. The channel is coated with a coating layer having a thickness between 10 ?m to 1000 ?m sticking aerosols for avoiding bounce effect. The UV light generator can emit UV light to kill biological aerosols. It is suitable for long-term usage. So, the bounce effect of aerosols can be significantly reduced. The maintenance cost is low. The sterilization effect is excellent. Plus, the flow rate of the air conditioning system remains high.

  • Publication number: 20100267321
    Abstract: A biological safety cabinet (BSC) has an air curtain to isolate air inside and outside the BSC. A most preferable slight concave curtain of air can be obtained. With the curtain, neither contamination in the BSC leaks out nor outside contamination enters the BSC. Furthermore, no circulation is formed in the BSC by blowing the air curtain. Thus, the operator using the BSC and the product in the BSC are both well protected.

  • Patent number: 7582146
    Abstract: A uniform aerosol deposit sampling device includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing has an air inlet and a first chamber. The second housing has an air outlet, an second chamber, a filter holder and a flow guiding portion. The filter holder is provided for securing an air-penetratable supporting pad and a filter media. The flow guiding portion is a substantially conical and gradually narrowing. The flow guiding portion has a semi-conical angle ranged from 15 to 85 degrees. So, the flow guiding portion makes the entire air flow smooth and evenly distributed. The aerosols will be evenly distributed and uniformly deposited on the filter media. And, it is easy to evaluate the amount and composition of the aerosols.

  • Patent number: 6151970
    Abstract: A virtual cyclone sampler of a hollow rectangular container is provided with an arcuate surface by chamfering an edge thereof. The virtual cyclone sampler is further provided with two guide slots which are located at junctions of the arcuate surface and two adjacent planes sharing the chamfered edge. The guide slots are intended to guide gas or airborne particles to flow into or out of the container. Two virtual cyclone samplers may be connected in symmetry to form a composite virtual cyclone sampler.

  • Patent number: 6124798
    Abstract: An alarm device is designed to warn of danger of hitting high voltage overhead power lines by a crane in motion. The alarm device is composed of an electric-field sensor for detecting the alternating electric field of the overhead power lines and for outputting an alternating current, which is then converted or amplified by an amplifier connected with the electric-field sensor. An alternating voltage is outputted by the amplifier such that the alternating voltage is rectified and filtered by a rectifier/filter circuit connected with the amplifier. A direct current voltage output is brought about by the rectifier/filter circuit. A starter is disposed between the rectifier/filter circuit and a wireless transmitter capable of being activated by the starter to transmit a wireless signal at such time when the value of the direct current voltage exceeds a preset value. The alarm device is further composed of a wireless receiver/alarm for receiving the wireless signal and for effecting a warning signal.

  • Patent number: 5984868
    Abstract: A device is intended to measure an absorbed dose of a hazardous gas by skin of a human body and is composed of an exposure chamber, a gas concentration control system, and one or more gas sensors. A naked part of the human body is held in the exposure chamber containing the hazardous gas of a concentration which is kept in a predetermined range by the gas concentration control system. As the concentration of the hazardous gas drops below the predetermined range, the gas concentration control system replenishes the exposure chamber with an amount of the hazardous gas with the help of a concentration signal transmitted from the sensors, so that the concentration of the hazardous gas is once again kept in the predetermined range. The absorbed dose of the hazardous gas by skin is computed on the basis of the amount of the hazardous gas that is replenished.

  • Patent number: 5702506
    Abstract: An aerosol size-selective sampling device is composed of pre-filter, a base housing, and a collector. The device is intended to take an aerosol sample from a given atmospheric air. The pre-filter is composed of two or more porous filtration materials arranged in one end of the base housing in a parallel manner for allowing the atmospheric air to pass therethrough in a parallel and diverting pattern before the atmospheric air is allowed to pass in a converging manner through the collector which is located in another end of the base housing. The pre-filter is able to attain a desired penetration rate profile as a function of an aerodynamic diameter of aerosol contained in the atmospheric air within a predetermined range of aerodynamic diameter.
