The disinfecting concentrate includes at least one biodegradable carboxylic acid and at least one anionic surfactant, and is stable for at least one week at 54° C. as measured according to EPA storage stability test protocol (830.6317). While exhibiting good stability, the disinfecting concentrate is also able to dissolve quickly in water, and, once diluted, exhibits a micro efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, or both Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus at 3 minute contact time according to the Germicidal Spray Test method AOAC 961.02.

Abstract: A vehicle dolly comprises two parallel lifting axle assemblies and two wheel assemblies, two ends of each of the lifting axle assemblies being detachably connected to the two wheel assemblies, each of the wheel assemblies comprising: a main beam; a first support wheel and a second support wheel; a first mount assembly and a second mount assembly, the first mount assembly connecting the first support wheel to a first end of the main beam, the second mount assembly connecting the second support wheel to a second end of the main beam; and a plurality of lifting means, each lifting means being provided between each mount assembly and the main beam, each lifting means comprising a screw rod and a corresponding nut that cooperate with each other to lift and lower the main beam relative to the support wheels. It enables long-distance and high-speed vehicle moving and makes operation more convenient.

Abstract: An indoor unit comprises a built-in heat exchanger and a radiant heat dissipation casing, the radiant heat dissipation casing serving both as a protective casing for the indoor unit and as a radiant heat sink. The radiation heat dissipation casing is arranged in parallel with the built-in heat exchanger. When users need to quickly adjust the indoor temperature, they can switch on the radiant heat dissipation casing and the built-in heat exchanger at the same time, and the radiant heat dissipation casing and the built-in heat exchanger will exchange heat together to quickly adjust the indoor temperature. Users can also choose to separately use the built-in heat exchanger to adjust the indoor temperature to meet the needs of different users and operation conditions. After the indoor temperature reaches the preset temperature, users can choose to switch off the built-in heat exchanger and keep the radiant heat dissipation casing on.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for performing detection of microorganisms (e.g., viruses) with high sensitivity. The apparatus and method are well suited for point-of-care (POC) testing in resource-limited regions and are capable of being operated with very little manual intervention and without the need for lab equipment. A variety of viruses can be detected with high sensitivity, including, for example, coronaviruses, Zika virus and flu viruses.
