Abstract: A sterilizing sheet is excellent in terms of saving space when a sterilizing operation is being performed, and sterilizing objects of various sizes. This sterilizing sheet is provided with a flexible sheet body, a sheet accommodating body and a handle. The sheet body is formed from a dielectric and a pair of electrodes accommodated inside the dielectric. The sheet accommodating body is a cylindrical body in which the sheet body is accommodated to be capable of being pulled out and rewound, and is provided with a case, a rotating body and a rewinding mechanism. The rewinding mechanism is a mechanism for automatically rewinding the sheet body, when pulled out from the sheet accommodating body, back into the sheet accommodating body. The handle is attached to a distal end portion of the sheet body, and includes, inside the handle, a battery, a switch mechanism, a booster circuit and a monitoring circuit.

Abstract: A dust collection device can be fitted to windows in a room, thus not only cleaning air while ventilating air within a space targeted for cleaning but also cleaning air outside of the space. A dust collection device is constructed by laminating first insulation type electrodes and second insulation type electrodes alternately via spacers. The insulation type electrodes have a configuration in which both sides of first electrodes (second electrodes) are coated by first insulating layers (second insulating layers). Furthermore, a power supply is connected to the electrodes, and the electrodes are grounded. In addition, a plurality of first through holes (second through holes) is provided in rows in the insulation type electrodes. Furthermore, the positions of the through holes in the insulation type electrodes are arranged in a plane view so as to be a prescribed distance from the positions of the through holes in the insulation type electrodes.

There are twelve blades, and an outer circumference defined by the outer edges of the twelve blades has a diameter of 84 mm. The structure is simple and reasonable. The integration of the blades and hub improves concentricity and strength of the blades, increases air volume, and reduces noise. A reasonable number of blades and fan diameter together with a reasonable number of guide blades can improve efficiency and wind speed.
