  • Patent number: 12611482
    Abstract: A sanitizer has substrates which are coated with an optically-activated nanomaterial TiO2 coating for cleaning air which comes into contact with the surfaces of the coating. UV LED light sources are arranged to emit light to be incident on the surfaces to activate the coatings. There is a large surface for impingement of air on the coatings due to a grille arrangement of the substrates, and the LED-emitted UV light being incident at acute angles on the grille honeycomb structure.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210324658
    Abstract: A handle for a cabinet, has a translucent rod with a photocatalytic antimicrobial TiO2 external coating, and a pair of supports each engaging an end of the rod and being affixed to a cabinet door. One support has an array of two LEDs for emission of light into the rod, one LED emitting blue light and the other emitting white light. There is total internal reflection within the rod, for very effective incidence on the coating.

  • Patent number: 10495392
    Abstract: A cooler, a cooler platform assembly, and a process of adjusting a cooler platform are disclosed. The cooler includes a cooling region, a discharge region, and a cooler platform positioned in the discharge region and proximal to a sloped interior section of the cooler. The cooler platform assembly includes a cooler platform, a sloped interior section of a cooler proximal to a first end of the cooler platform, and a vertical wall proximal to a second end of the cooler platform. The process includes adjusting a cooler platform from a retracted position substantially parallel to a vertical wall of a cooler to a deployed position substantially perpendicular to the vertical wall.

  • Publication number: 20150331858
    Abstract: A method for handling digital assets and an apparatus configured to perform the method. The apparatus comprises an asset analyzer for analyzing a digital asset to determine context and attributes of the digital asset. A comparator then compares the determined context and attributes with tags, which comprise information on context, attributes, and actions. Finally, an action unit performs an action on the digital asset specified by the tag in case the context and an attribute of the digital asset match the context and an attribute of a tag.

  • Publication number: 20110290464
    Abstract: A header box for a heat exchanger assembly and the method of manufacture. The header box has a first header component and a second header component. The first header component has a first corner portion with a first wall and a second wall extending therefrom. The second header component has a second corner portion with a third wall and a fourth wall extending therefrom. Free ends of the first wall and the third wall cooperate to form a first seam which is welded to maintain the first wall in position relative to the second wall. The free ends of the second wall and the fourth wall cooperate to form a second seam which is welded to maintain the third wall in position relative to the fourth wall. The header box, with the first corner portion and the second corner portion, will withstand the stress concentrations associated with a flow of fluid in the header box.

  • Publication number: 20110132590
    Abstract: A finned tube for heat transfer from one medium to a second medium, and the method of manufacture, is disclosed. A helical fin of the finned tube has an area of compressed fins positioned proximate an insertion section which has a metal tube exposed with the helical fin removed therefrom. The compressed fins are a portion of the helical fin which has been compressed so that the helical fin in the area of the compressed fins is more closely spaced than the remaining portion of the helical fin. A base portion of the helical fin in the area of the compressed fins is layered and compressed on itself and is compressed against the metal tube. The layers of the base portion are compressed together and to the metal tube of the finned tube, which causes the layers of the base portion to bind together and bind to the metal tube to prevent movement of the helical fin in the area of the compressed fins in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the finned tube.
