A method of disinfection of a surface of a subject of harmful microorganisms including pathogenic bacteria and viruses upon visible light irradiation using a hybridized fluorescent silk is provided. The method includes placing a predetermined quantity of the hybridized fluorescent silk i) directly on to a skin surface of a subject; or ii) on a medium and then placing the medium on the skin surface of the subject. The method further includes applying light in the visible spectrum for a predetermined amount of time to the placed quantity of hybridized fluorescent silk, wherein the hybridized fluorescent silk is one of KillerRed, SuperNova, KillerOrange, Dronpa, TurboGFP, mCherry, or any combination thereof.

A method of inactivating harmful microorganisms of a filtration medium including pathogenic bacteria and viruses is disclosed which includes placing a predetermined quantity of a hybridized fluorescent silk on to a filtration medium, applying light for a predetermined amount of time to the placed quantity of the hybridized fluorescent silk, and passing a fluid through the medium, wherein the fluid is one of substantially air or substantially water, wherein the hybridized fluorescent silk is one of KillerRed, SuperNova, KillerOrange, Dronpa, TurboGFP, mCherry, or any combination thereof.

A ship with a flue gas carbon dioxide capture and storage plant has a main engine such as a slow running diesel engine providing flue gas. The flue gas is led via a flue gas heat exchanger with a thermal fluid exit to a re-boiler and arranged for cooling said flue gas. Further cooled flue gas is led into a turbine compressor compressing it up to a compressed flue gas. A combustion chamber is provided with a fuel feed and a pre-mix gas burner for afterburning said compressed flue gas which also burns remaining methane from the diesel engine, resulting in hot afterburned compressed flue gas enriched in CO.sub.2. The CO2-absorber (20) leading said CO.sub.2-enriched absorber solution to a CO.sub.2-stripper (21), operating at e.g. 1 Bar and exporting CO2 to a CO2-compressor (26) to a CO.sub.2-export line (28) to onboard CO.sub.2 pressure tanks.

The present invention relates to an implantable cassette for holding filters. The cassette is provided with a revolving compartment having a plurality of segments. Each segment is for holding a filter for filtering blood. Also provided is attachment means for attaching the cassette to a blood flow passageway to thereby allow blood to flow through a first segment of the revolving compartment. An operation device for revolving the revolving compartment, to thereby move the first segment out of the blood flow passageway, is also provided.

An air sanitizing apparatus for a vehicle comprising: an ozone generator; a negative ion generator; and an ultraviolet radiation source. The air sanitizing apparatus further includes a rotating feature and a motor operably connected to the rotating feature, the rotating feature configured to move the air sanitizing apparatus along a track system. The air sanitizing apparatus can includes a first end portion; a second end portion; a middle portion disposed between the first end portion and the second end portion, the middle portion rotatable relative to the first end portion and the second end portion about an axis that extends through both the first end portion and the second end portion. The ozone generator, the negative ion generator, and the ultraviolet radiation source are all disposed at the middle portion. The air sanitizing apparatus is disposed in an interior of a vehicle below but adjacent to a ceiling.

A method is provided for operating a suction device that includes a suction unit and a removable filtering device. The suction unit generates a suction flow that flows through the filtering device when arranged on the suction device, in which, after the suction unit is started up, a check is performed of whether the filtering device is present, and if detected as not present, the suction unit is switched off. An evaluation unit uses check data to determine whether a switch-off signal is to be generated for the suction unit. The evaluation unit uses an algorithm or a table to arrive at a decision on switching off the suction unit based on the check data. The table contains at least one threshold value or the algorithm defines at least one threshold value, wherein the at least one threshold value is a threshold value for switching off the suction unit.
