  • AIR PURIFICATION FILTER DEVICE USING X-RAY IONIZER
    Publication number: 20250033065
    Abstract: Provided is an air purification filter device using an X-ray ionizer that cleanly filters contaminated air and discharges cleaned air by supplying the contaminated air such as bad odors and fine dust from restaurants, factories, livestock farms, and manufacturing facilities to the device, charging positive or negative ions to contaminated air using an X-ray ionizer, and collecting contaminated air by static electricity in the baffle filter and metal mesh filter using the Coanda Effect.

  • Salt selection of microbial mutants to increase bioproduct tolerance, titer, or osmotic shock tolerance
    Patent number: 8372598
    Abstract: Methods are provided for selecting microbial strains with improved properties for fermentation and/or bioproduct production. A salt selection is employed to identify mutants with improved bioproduct tolerance, titer, or osmotic tolerance relative to a microbial strain from which they were derived.
