  • METHOD AND SYSTEM USING MELTING FILTER FOR SEPARATING MIXTURE
    Publication number: 20140346126
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system using a melting filter medium for separating a mixture (e.g., a mixture of an aqueous solution and either or both of oil and solids immiscible in the aqueous solution) to be separated. The mixture is separated into a liquid passing through the filter layer of the filter medium and a captured material captured in the filter layer. The filter medium and the captured material are separated by melting the filter medium.

  • Photovoltaic ultraviolet sensor
    Patent number: 7973379
    Abstract: A photovoltaic ultraviolet sensor comprises a zinc oxide single crystal substrate. On the +c face of the zinc oxide single crystal substrate, an ultraviolet receiver is formed. The exemplary ultraviolet receiver includes a Schottky electrode which, when receiving ultraviolet rays, produces a voltage in cooperation with the zinc oxide single crystal substrate. The ultraviolet sensor does not have any sensitivity to the visible rays. The ultraviolet sensor has a relatively fast response of several microseconds.
