Abstract: A dryer lint trap has one opening operable to receive exhaust from a dryer and another opening to discharge the relatively lint free air flow into a high-rise building exhaust stack. The lint trap can remove lint with a water bath onto which dryer exhaust flows therein. The lint trap is totally sealed and the relatively lint free exhaust air is discharged into building exhaust stack by a duct that may have an in-line exhaust fan and connects to the discharge side of a bathroom exhaust fan. The in-line exhaust fan along with the bathroom exhaust fan and the dryer may be interlocked to affect simultaneous start and stop. In addition, the in-line exhaust fan works synergistically with the bathroom fan and the on-roof exhaust fan to efficiently discharge exhaust air into the atmosphere. This arrangement assures that no exhaust air is released into the living space and precludes mold generation.

Abstract: Seventy percent of Americans over 50 years old experience painful muscle cramps. Athletes, professional and amateurs suffer from muscle cramps every day. Worst muscle cramps occur at night while people are sleeping, resulting in loss of sleep and productivity. A formulation comprising deionized water, ethyl alcohol and six oil extracts including jasmine, sweet pea, magnolia, lavender, meadow and honey suckle has been proven to relief muscle cramps safely, effectively and instantly.

Abstract: A water filter will sterilize and detoxify water by taking advantage of two technologies in the field of water disinfection and detoxification—ultraviolet “C” (UVC) and photocatalytic oxidation (PCO). The water filter includes a filter body that contains a water inlet, a flow header and granular activated carbon. A UVC lamp sleeve extends into the filter body into which a UVC lamp is disposed. The filter body, the UVC sleeve and the granulated activated carbon are coated with titanium dioxide, turning all these surfaces into a semi-conductor that triggers a powerful PCO process when UVC photons comes in contact therewith. The carbon media adsorbs organic compounds present in the incoming water, allowing the PCO and UVC ample time to complete the oxidation process. Continuous break down of organic compounds by PCO and UVC allows the carbon media to self-regenerate itself indefinitely. The technology is scalable to any size and application.

Abstract: Air is purified through the use of a photo catalytic oxidation (PCO) and ultraviolet C (UVC) photon treatment. A single-stage PCO/UVC reactor includes an activated carbon filter (ACF) having titanium dioxide embedded therewithin or thereupon. A UVC set of lamps are disposed upstream and downstream of the ACFs. The UVC sets of lamps impinge UVC photons on the ACFs, initiating the PCO process and completely oxidizing toxic VOCs into carbon dioxide and water. The ACFs act to absorb and hold the VOCs (and intermediate breakdown organic compounds, such as formaldehyde) until the PCO process can completely break down the VOCs into carbon dioxide and water. A multiple stage UVC/PCO reactor may be used, if required and depending on the concentration of contaminants in the incoming air. In addition to detoxification, the UVC and PCO together sterilize the air by destroying viruses, bacteria and molds.

Abstract: Methods for eradicating bedbugs through the combined use of ultraviolet C (UVC) photons and photo catalytic oxidation (PCO) include spraying infested areas with titanium dioxide (TiO2), applying UVC to activate the TiO2 and trigger the PCO process. The PCO process may oxidize organic matter, which is abundantly available in infested articles, to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water. The CO2, along with carrying out the process in a dark environment, may attract bedbugs and force them to leave their hiding places, where the combination of UVC and PCO can destroy the bedbugs. A vacuum cleaner may be used to remove all bedbugs and render the infested area free of bedbugs. Typically, bed sheets should be washed and mattresses and couches should be steam-cleaned following bedbug eradication.
