Abstract: An air filter essentially for use in woodworking workplaces includes a casing having a top panel, a bottom panel, two sidewalls, a filter gauze, a motor, and whizzer blades. The casing has an inlet anteriorly and an outlet. The casing has therein an inner blocking wall which extends rearward to form two inner sidewalls. The two inner sidewalls are each penetrated by a through hole. The two through holes face each other. The casing further has a curved panel bending in its thickness direction. The curved panel and the two inner sidewalls together define a receiving space. The curved panel curves to an extent corresponding in curvature to part of the outer edges of the whizzer blades and is spaced apart from the whizzer blades by a predetermined distance.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a one-piece structure for a solid electrolyte chemical sensor (SECS) having a first surface defining a cavity designed to receive a substrate that retains a solid electrolyte, an internal water impermeable coating on at least a portion of the first surface, a second surface that is substantially coplanar with an adjacent peripheral edge of a top surface of the substrate when the substrate is received in the cavity, and a plurality of electrical contacts disposed on the second surface adapted to electrically couple with the electrodes on the substrate when the substrate is received in the cavity and electrical paths are provided between respective electrical contacts and electrodes. In an illustrative example, the internal water impermeable coating may include a metallic material, such as gold. In various embodiments, the one-piece structure may advantageously prevent water loss from both the sensor substrate and the SECS.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an initialization extension device may provide an extended initialization period to enable a processor to configure a device, for example, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), prior to entering an operating mode. The device may include a number of control registers that may be configured to default settings in a register initialization period commenced in response to a reset signal. The reset signal may also trigger an extension timer to countdown a timer extended initialization period. During the timer extended initialization period, the processor may write an extension control signal, e.g., an extension bit, to a register. An initialization extension unit may maintain the device in an initialization mode during the timer extended initialization period and/or while the register contains the extension control signal. The processor may configure the control registers for one or more operations the device may perform when it enters the operating mode.
