Abstract: Methods for regenerating activated carbon mainly used in air-treating devices in transportation, in particular for passenger compartments in transportation conveyances. The invention can be also used for regenerating activated carbon for air-treating devices in other areas. The method for regeneration of activated carbon comprises a regeneration, which is performed with the help of water vapor obtained from condensate of humidity in the atmosphere. The condensate is pre-adsorbed on silica gel during air cleaning. The regeneration is carried out at the atmospheric pressure, at a temperature of up to 160° C. followed by cooling with the help of the fan with an air flow of no less than 25 min−1.

Abstract: A treatment system for waste gas containing VOCs is composed of a zeolite revolver (10), an incinerator (20) and a network of pipes, valves and filters. The zeolite revolver (10) consists of an adsorption zone (11), a purge zone (12), and a desorption zone (13) to remove VOCs from untreated waste gas in the adsorption zone (11) and then separate the VOCs from the saturated zeolite in the desorption zone (13). The zeolite is cooled down in the purge zone (12) so it can be used again. The separated VOCs are piped into the incinerator (20) to be used as fuel. Whereby, the treatment system for waste gas containing VOCs operates efficiently and economically.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method that involves collecting a sample of biological liquid, placing the same in a cell (1) for analysis, supplying a current through the cell from a frequency- and amplitude-adjustable generator (2) and measuring the conductivity Y1. The method also involves using a biological-liquid reference (12) through which a current is supplied at the same amplitude and frequency before measuring its conductivity Yr. The method further involves calculating a value N1=Y1/Yr and the biological object is in a normal condition when N1<1, whereas a potential disease is diagnosed when N1>1. The device of the present invention comprises an analysis cell (1) having a generator (2) connected thereto and also includes a differential amplifier (3), a detector (4) and a measuring unit (5) connected in series.

Abstract: A dual-direction inflator has a tube and a cover mounted on the tube. A rod extends through the cover and is inserted in the tube. A piston is received in the tube and mounted on an end of the rod. The piston has an air-in chamber and an air-out chamber defined therein. A handle is mounted at the other end of the rod. The handle has an inlet and an outlet formed at a middle portion thereof. An inner tube is received in the rod and communicated with the inlet and with the air-in chamber. By a space defined between the inner tube and the rod, the air-out chamber is communicated with the outlet.

Abstract: The present invention intends to provides a piezoelectric ignition lighter capable of avoiding misuse by children but maintaining excellent operability for normal users without unreasonably increasing actuation load at the initial ignition operation. For this end, the piezoelectric ignition lighter has a valve mechanism, a nozzle 3 and a piezoelectric mechanism 4 at the top of a lighter body 1 and ignites by actuation of an actuation cap 6 integrally molded of polyacetal resin with torsion plates 7,7. The torsion plates 7,7 are separated from the upper end surface 1a of the lighter body 1 by a gap equal to about 60%˜90% of the actuation stroke in the non-actuated condition to provide a normal (light) actuation load at the initial actuation stage. After engagement of the torsion plates 7,7 with the upper end surface of the lighter body 1, resilient load of the torsion plates is added to normal load, thereby increasing the actuation load.

Abstract: The invention provides a hologram recording or replicating optical system wherein a misalignment-with-time of the center of a laser generated beam is automatically corrected so that the color balance in a color hologram surface, for instance, can be well maintained with no disturbance. In the hologram recording or replicating optical system for irradiating a photosensitive material 20 with a beam from a laser 31 through a pinhole 10, a beam position correcting mechanism 32 and a beam splitter 33 are located in an optical path between the laser 31 and the pinhole 10, and a laser beam position detector 35 is located at a position in an optical path split by the beam splitter 33 and conjugate to the pinhole 10, so that the beam position correcting mechanism 32 can be operated on the basis of a beam position error signal obtained from the laser beam position detector 35 to keep the position of the beam incident on the pinhole 10 always constant.
