Abstract: Microbial disinfection is performed using continuous or intermittent lighting using one or more narrow wavelength light sources. The light sources illuminate with narrow wavelength characteristics. The lighting provides a sufficiently high intensity for rapid microbial disinfection process, while reducing the average energy consumption for microbial disinfection during the microbial disinfection process by targeting multiple cellular sites along different inactivation pathways.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a feedback control system and method for a bidirectional VCM. The system employs an analog core that is common to both the PWM and linear modes of operation. The analog core includes a feedback mechanism that determines the error in the current flowing through the motor. The feedback mechanism produces an error voltage that corresponds to the current error, and applies the voltage to a control driver. The control driver then controls the motor, based on the error voltage, in either a PWM or linear mode. By sharing a common core, the switching time between modes is improved. Furthermore, the output current error between modes is reduced.

Abstract: A microencapsulated polyaddition catalyst comprises a capsule core, containing polyaddition catalyst, and an acrylic copolymer capsule shell, the acrylic copolymer comprising copolymerized units of an intermolecular anhydride of an ethylenically unsaturated C3-C12 carboxylic acid. The polyaddition catalyst is selected from acyclic tertiary amines, alicyclic tertiary amines, N-alkylimidazoles, phosphines and organic metal salts. It is suitable for catalysing the reaction of a polyol compound with a polyisocyanate compound. The polyaddition catalyst is released by a chemical stimulus, such as on contact with polyols or water, for example.

Abstract: An exemplary single bed reversing blower adsorption based air separation unit is configured to follow the O2 load placed thereon by adjusting flow rates therethrough and power consumption. At least one and preferably multiple pressure sensors sense O2 pressure within an O2 storage region downstream of an adsorber vessel. These sensed pressures are utilized to generate control signals controlling flow rates at locations upstream of the compressor, such as at a reversible blower and an output compressor. Control loops for the blower and the compressor are independent of each other and have different time constants. Effective following of the O2 load is thus achieved without driving the air separation unit into operational conditions outside of design and also maintaining optimal power consumption for the O2 produced, such that efficiency is maintained over a large turndown ratio.

In the embodiment shown, the volute (28) is ramped axially downward within the inlet section (14), in a direction towards the conical separating section (15), and turns through an angle of more than 270 angle degrees. The conical section has a central axis X-X, and comprises two segments 32, 34 each being of a frustoconical shape, and joined together end to end to form a generally conical separating chamber (15). An internal angle A located between an inner wall surface (50) of the so-formed conical separating chamber (15) and a line parallel to the central axis X-X is ideally less than (8) angle degrees, to provide a hydrocyclone design with beneficial operating parameters.
