  • Patent number: 11204183
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a ventilator with dual flow passages. There is a mode switcher on the partition board. The ventilator has a variety of operating modes, such as, the natural or mechanical driving mode according to outdoor wind speed, and single-effect or multi-effect filtration according to the outdoor air pollution conditions. The single-effect filtration uses only the primary-efficiency filter, while the three-effect filtration uses the primary-, medium-, and high-efficiency filters. The mode switcher on the partition board can open or close the by-pass baffle to bypass or go through the medium- and high-efficiency filters for switching between the single-effect and multi-effect filtration. In case some indoor pollution sources need to be removed quickly, the recirculated indoor air filtration can be run. In such situation, the primary-efficiency filter in the mechanically-driven flow passage is bypassed, while the fan drives indoor air passing the medium- and high-efficiency filters.

  • Publication number: 20200240188
    Abstract: The present invention discloses anon-power driven window capable of adjusting ventilation rate. When the sash is unlocked, due to combined action of the sash's gravitational torque and the expansion of a torsion spring against the sash, the window keeps open. The window is designed having a bigger size in the lower section below the pivot than that in the upper section. Subject to the outdoor wind blowing, the moment by the outdoor wind tends to shut the window. In addition, the upper screen is installed in the outer side of the pane above the pivot, while lower screen is installed to the inner side of the pane below the pivot. Thus the lower sash is exposed into the outdoor air and can be easily blown by the outdoor wind. Consequently, the stronger is the outdoor wind, the smaller is the effective opening of the window for ventilation, and vice versa.

  • Patent number: 10663397
    Abstract: A device and method of enhancing terahertz wave signals based on a hollow metal waveguide are disclosed. Simple devices such as a beam splitter, multiple plane mirrors, a beam combiner and an adjustable delay system are used. Two laser beams having a wavelength of 800 nm split by the beam splitter generate a fixed time phase delay, and are converged in the hollow metal waveguide to sequentially overlap with pulse of a laser having a wavelength of 400 nm for nonlinear interaction to ionize gas in the optical fiber to generate terahertz waves. The hollow metal waveguide can converge and transmit the generated terahertz waves due to its total reflection characteristics.

  • Patent number: 10641703
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of enhancing absorption spectral signals of a biological sample in a terahertz waveband in which the biological sample are embedded and supported with black silicon. In the method, the biological sample are filled between the surface micro-nano structures of a black silicon material and then freeze-dried. When the terahertz wave is incident upon the black silicon material, multiple reflections will occur between the micro-nano structures, so that the terahertz wave passes through the biological sample multiple times to increase the distance of interaction between the terahertz waves and the biological sample, allowing for enhanced absorption spectral signals of the biological sample and improved identifiability of the biological sample. The method is simple and easy to implement and low in cost.
