Abstract: The Desktop Air Purifier with Double-layer Glass Tube Ultraviolet Disinfection Lamp (The desktop air purifier with DLGTUVDL) uses a turbo blower with an air filter to draw in outside air to be disinfected through its specially designed double-layer glass tube ultraviolet disinfection lamp. The ultraviolet disinfection lamp of the desktop air purifier has a double-layer glass tube with an inner glass tube and an outer glass tube. The center of the inner glass tube is a hollow space for external air to pass through and receive UV disinfection. This unique design allows ultraviolet rays to surround the entire hollow tube space to provide 360-degree ultraviolet radiation and disinfection at a close distance without dead ends, which greatly improves the disinfection efficiency. In addition, the desktop air purifier with DLGTUVDL has the function of natural plant scent air purifying agent to provide the disinfected air that carries the natural plant scents.

Abstract: A sprinkler includes a compartment that surrounds its riser portion in an offset or asymmetrical configuration. More specifically, the distance of the compartments walls from those of the riser vary (i.e., increase or decrease) at different locations surrounding the riser. Put another way, the riser is closer to one side of the compartment than other sides of the compartment. This non-concentric configuration allows larger components to fit inside the compartment than would otherwise fit if the riser was symmetrically surrounded by the compartment.
