  • Publication number: 20230380518
    Abstract: A bionic air-conditioning garment, includes an air-conditioning garment body, a smart watch, and wireless temperature and humidity sensing sensors. A cooling water conveying system is disposed in each of seven block areas. The smart watch is connected to the controller through a wireless communication device. When a water pump works, liquid in a backpack water bag is transported to an outer layer of the air-conditioning garment body through labyrinth drip irrigation belts, and dispersed to the outer layer of the air-conditioning garment body. The outer layer of the air-conditioning garment body is hydrophilic to quickly expand water, so that the liquid expands to form a moisture permeable layer on the air-conditioning garment body. Under irradiation of external natural wind and sun, the bionic air-conditioning garment absorbs heat through gasification and evaporation of the liquid, which energy efficiency ratio is large and heat dissipation and cooling effects are better.

  • Publication number: 20230380523
    Abstract: The present invention is a fistula sleeve for covering and protecting a fistula on the inside of an arm. The sleeve grips the wrist and adjustably and snuggly fits around the wider contours of the arm without imparting pressure on the fistula. The sleeve partially opens to expose the fistula for dialysis and daily care. A narrower wrist region secures around the wrist. An elongated forearm region wraps around the forearm, and a smooth central region covers the fistula. The wrist and forearm regions are independently secured. Securement strips have semi-rigid backings that stiffen the side portions of the sleeve help secure and remove the sleeve with one hand, and form a spine to help maintain the alignment of the sleeve on the arm. A double layer of material is stitched together along its perimeter, while the inner layer is free to slide relative to the outer layer in the smooth central area that engages the fistula.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are chemically configurable diamonds tailored for self-cleaning, dirt repelling, and anti-smudge technology for sensing, optical, and ornamental applications. This document describes an invention for generating chemically configurable diamonds. Applications include anti-smudge, self-cleaning, color alteration, and debris resistance for diamond for jewelry or other ornamentation, optical, quantum computing, for chemical functionalization for sensors or electronic devices that rely on chemical interactions with diamonds or defects therein. Diamond surfaces are chemically inert and therefore require chemical modification to attach secondary coatings. Secondary coatings can be varied depending on application demands. Chemical reactions are employed to modify the surface wetting properties of the diamond.
