Abstract: An air purifier includes a housing having an air inlet, an air outlet, and a cavity portion connecting the air inlet and the air outlet, two blowers disposed in the cavity portion and each including a fan rotatable to generate a flow of air, and a filter disposed in the cavity portion. During rotation of the fan, the two blowers each suck in air from outside of the housing through the air inlet into the cavity portion, and blow the air having passed through the filter from the air outlet to the outside of the housing. A direction in which the air inlet is open crosses a direction in which the air outlet is open. An opening area of the air outlet is smaller than an opening area of the air inlet.

Abstract: A suturing device includes a plurality of suture needles, a first-thread holding mechanism, a needle moving mechanism, and a thread turning structure. The thread turning structure is configured to locally turn a portion of a first thread hooked on a distal end portion of each of a plurality of suture needles in the first thread stretched in a first direction around a needle axis thereof such that the portion of the first thread extends in a direction along a third direction intersecting the first direction and a second direction, in a state where the plurality of suture needles have been moved in the second direction. Each of the plurality of suture needles has a side surface formed with a threading recessed groove extending through the side surface in the first direction in a state where each of the plurality of suture needles has been moved in the second direction.

Abstract: An air purifier includes a housing, a first blower, a second blower, and a filter. The housing has a cavity inside, an inlet and an outlet. The first blower has a first fan in the housing. The second blower has a second fan in the housing. The second blower faces the first blower in an opposing direction. The inlet is located between the first blower and the second blower in the opposing direction. The inlet opens in a direction intersecting the opposing direction. The first fan of the first blower and the second fan of the second blower generate airflow such that air flows into the cavity through the inlet, and flows from the cavity through the filter to the outlet.

Abstract: An air conditioner includes a housing having a first outlet and a second outlet, a first channel communicating with the first outlet, a second channel communicating with the second outlet, a tank unit configured to hold water for cooling first air and second air, the first air flowing through the first channel, the second air flowing through the second channel, a cooling unit configured to cool the first air by heat of vaporization of water held in the tank unit, a water supply channel for supplying water held in the tank unit to the cooling unit, and a water recovery channel for collecting water remaining in the cooling unit to the tank unit.

Abstract: An air conditioner includes an inlet; a suction channel through which air sucked from the inlet flows; a spray unit configured to spray water to be vaporized; a first channel through which first air to be cooled by heat of vaporization of water sprayed from the spray unit flows; a heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the first air and the air flowing through the suction channel to cool the air flowing through the suction channel; wall body defining the first channel located downstream of the heat exchanger in a flow direction of the first air; and an electric device configured to generate heat with power consumption by the air conditioner. The electric device is thermally connected to the wall body.

Abstract: A suturing device includes first and second holding members, a plurality of needles, a needle moving mechanism, and a suture hook. The first and second holding members are configured to move toward and away from each other to sandwich therebetween edges of a cut. The needles are disposed at the first holding member and aligned in a needle arrangement direction with their points pointing to the second holding member. The needles are configured to hold a suture at tips thereof. The needle moving mechanism is configured to move the plurality of needles toward the second holding member. The suture hook is disposed at the second holding member and configured to move along the needle arrangement direction to catch the suture that has reached the second holding member via the edges of the cut by movement of the needles toward the second holding member by the needle moving mechanism.
