  • Patent number: 6932903
    Abstract: An ultraviolet-and-ozone disinfection apparatus 200 providing an improvement on disinfection, includes a disinfection tank 202, a mercury UV lamp 210 enclosed by a quartz tube 208 for generating UV light with air trapped between them undergoing UV irradiation to generate ozone, an ozone transmitting tube 216, a spiral water transmitting tube 215 wrapping around the quartz tube in a spiral manner to achieve sufficient disinfection by mixing ozone in water, a sleeve barrel enclosing the spiral tube. Along the entire flow path, water is exposed to UV radiation to achieve sufficient disinfection and reduce excessive ozone that is harmful to human health.

  • Patent number: 6793294
    Abstract: A wheel assembly includes a wheel rim, a hub radially spaced from the wheel rim, a plurality of spoke units interconnecting the hub and the wheel rim. Left and right spoke-covering members are mounted respectively on left and right ends of the hub and abutting against and cooperating with each other to confine a spoke-receiving space for receiving the spoke units Each of the spoke-covering members has a central portion extending radially from the hub, and a plurality of equi-angularly spaced apart blade portions extending radially from the central portion of each of the left and right spoke-covering members to the wheel rim. A fastener fastens the spoke-covering members to prevent removal of the same from the hub and the wheel rim.

  • Patent number: 5828140
    Abstract: A redundant power controller including two sets of switches, one of which is electrically controlled and the other is controlled manually. The electrically controlled switch is a relay-controlled switch which when detecting an abnormal input voltage, it sends out a positive voltage to cut off the power supply to the system. The mechanical switch is controlled manually to cut off the power supply to the system when needed.
