  • Publication number: 20250071878
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes a fan, a light device, an integrated housing, a main controller, a fan controller, a light controller and a converter. The integrated housing is used for disposing the fan and the light device. The converter converts an external AC power to a direct current. The fan controller is coupled to the converter for generating a fan driving current to the fan according to a fan control signal from the main controller. The light controller is coupled to the converter for generating a light driving current to the light device according to a light control signal. The main controller receives a wireless main control signal from a wall switch operated by a user. The main controller generates the fan control signal and the light control signal based on the wireless main control signal.

  • Patent number: 8349343
    Abstract: The present invention describes a novel antibacterial treatment on textile materials using polymeric core-shell particles dispersing in water. These particles are prepared from a surfactant-free emulsion polymerization according to the method of U.S. Pat. No. 6,573,313 and have average particle sizes in the range of 100 to 1000 nm in diameter. When applied to a textile article, the particles form a uniform coating, which prevents the growth of bacteria and microbes. The treatment does not affect the fabric mechanical properties, hand feeling and appearance. Antibacterial activity on cotton is maintained even after 50 times of home laundering.
