Abstract: An air conditioning unit (2) comprises a main body (3) including an air inlet (24) and an air outlet (22), the main body (3) defining an airflow passage between the air inlet (24) and the air outlet (22). A fan (28) is disposed within the airflow passage and a thermal element (26) is disposed within the airflow passage upstream of the fan (28). The main body (3) has a front face exposed to a temperature controlled space (8), on which the air outlet is disposed, and the air inlet and thermal element are disposed around the periphery of the front face.

Abstract: Cleaning and disinfection of multi-use plastic materials used in the food industry can be accomplished by using microwave radiation in combination with an electrolyte solution, thereby achieving at least 99.99% killing of microorganisms present on and inside the plastic device. Cleaning and disinfection of plastic trays used in security check screening can also be accomplished using microwave radiation in combination with an aqueous solution, thereby achieving at least 99.9% killing of pathogenic microorganisms present on the plastic tray.

Abstract: A curing lamp apparatus mounts to a work surface with a suction cup. A base is mounted to the suction cup. A flexible neck extends from the base to the lamp head. The lamp head includes a lamp element with first and second UV light sources which emit UV light at different wavelengths. A control circuit is located in the base. A heat sink is provided on the lamp head including a conductive plate and projecting pins. A protective housing encloses the plate and pins. A timing circuit controls the light source for automatic shut off. External or internal power is provided for the control circuit.

Abstract: A damper includes at least one substantially longitudinal damping body with two end surfaces and one substantially longitudinal surface between. The damping body is placed in a substantially longitudinal cavity, which includes a cavity surface, with a damping fluid that includes a liquid and a gas. At least one of the cavity surface, end surfaces or longitudinal surface is broken, and the damping body can pulsate in the cavity when the damper is in operation.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a damper for damping vibrations. The damper includes at least one substantially longitudinal damping body (1) with two end surfaces (21, 22) and one substantially longitudinal surface (20) between these. The damping body (1) includes a longitudinal direction (a) and a transversal direction (t) and is places in a substantially longitudinal cavity (15) with a damping fluid, wherein the cavity (15) defines at least one cavity surface (14) and the damping body (1) defines at least one damping surface. The damping fluid includes a proportion of liquid and a proportion of gas and either the cavity surface (14) or the damping body surface or both are broken to promote formation of foam in the damping fluid in operation.

Abstract: Chemical vapor deposition apparatus is provided for the quick and efficient deposition of Parylene AF4 onto silicon wafers in the production of semiconductor chips. The apparatus includes a post-pyrolysis chamber maintained at a predetermined temperature for capturing unpyrolyzed dimer before entry into the deposition chamber, and a filter structure positioned at the deposition chamber inlet to filter out microscopic particles and impurities prior to deposition onto the wafer surface. The post-pyrolysis chamber includes baffles for capturing the unpyrolyzed dimer, and the filter material preferably comprises PTFE. The filter element is heated to prevent deposition onto the filter.

Abstract: Hydrocolloid adhesive compositions are disclosed comprising a rubbery elastomeric base having dispersed therein hydrocolloid particles, at least some of which are polycationic hydrocolloid particles. The compositions have enhanced resistance to breakdown by body fluids and are especially useful as wound dressings.
