  • Publication number: 20240335576
    Abstract: An ultraviolet treatment device, having a housing enclosing a chamber. The chamber has a chamber height along a vertical axis, a chamber width along a transverse axis, and a chamber depth along a longitudinal axis. The chamber depth is less than the chamber width and less than the chamber height, and the chamber depth is less than half of at least one of the chamber width and the chamber height. The device also includes a source of ultraviolet radiation mounted to the housing and arranged to direct the ultraviolet radiation into the chamber, and a lateral wall of the housing having a lateral access opening to the chamber formed in the lateral wall, the lateral access opening having an opening width that is greater than the chamber depth.

  • Patent number: 9175415
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hybrid nanomaterial electrode, comprising a pair of spaced-apart electrodes, at least three pairs of metallic nanowires disposed between the electrodes and respectively connected with the electrodes, and at least a detecting material connecting with the metallic nanowires. The detecting material is formed as a semiconductor nanostructure or a conductor nanostructure. The hybrid nanomaterial electrode of the present invention can be used in a gas detector for detecting volatile organic compounds, and has the advantage of providing high sensitivity, low detection limit, and the ability to operate at room temperature.

  • Patent number: 8979555
    Abstract: A signal transmitting connector includes a metal base and a circuit board. The metal base includes a bottom plate, a first and a second lateral plate. The bottom plate includes a first surface, an opposite second surface, and an edge surface between the first and second surface. The first and the second lateral plate are connected to the first surface. An extending plane of the edge surface is intersected by the first and the second lateral plate. The bottom plate, the first and the second lateral plate form a depression. The circuit board, disposed in the depression, includes a third surface where a first electrically connecting portion is disposed, and an opposite fourth surface. A first distance, between a first lateral side edge of the edge surface away from the second surface and the second surface, is less than a second distance between the third and the second surface.
