The present invention discloses a novel multipurpose fast dehumidification device, in which materials with different functions can be placed simultaneously or separately, such as moisture absorption materials, aromatic materials, mosquito repelling (insect repelling) materials or deodorization materials. The present invention comprises a base, a placement frame and a circulation mechanism One end of the placement frame is movably connected with the base, and the other end of the placement frame is movably connected with the circulation mechanism; and the moisture absorption materials are placed in the placement frame. After the device is started, air in an environment is sucked by the circulation mechanism, then reaches the placement frame, and then is discharged from the placement frame after being dehumidified. The present invention has the beneficial effects that the structure is simple, and the use is convenient; the complicated structure of a traditional dehumidifier is abandoned, and the cost of a product is reduced to a maximum degree; at the same time, a single dehumidification function is expanded, which can play a role in different use scenes. That is, besides the dehumidification function, functions of atmosphere creation, mosquito repelling (insect repelling), deodorization and the like can also be realized.

An air purification apparatus and methods of air purification and treatment using ionization is disclosed. In some embodiments, an ion generator apparatus comprises a modular electrode and a housing connected to the modular electrode. The modular electrode includes an elongated conduit body comprising a power receiving end and a conduit connecting end opposite the power receiving end; and a plurality of ion generating elements occupying different radial positions around a perimeter of the conduit body, the ion generating elements generating negative ions or positive ions in response to an applied alternating current. A first electrical connector on the power receiving end is connectable to a second electrical connector on the conduit connecting end of another conduit body, such that a plurality of conduit bodies can be connected together in a series. The housing is connected to a power receiving end of one of the conduit bodies of the modular electrode.

An air purification system includes a conduit extending between an inlet and an outlet, each in fluid communication with an enclosed environment. Ambient air from the enclosed environment enters the conduit via the inlet and treated air exits the conduit and enters the enclosed environment via the outlet. The system further includes a fibrous filter disposed within the conduit and configured to treat the ambient air thereby generating the treated air, and a renewal unit disposed within the conduit and configured to renew the fibrous filter.

Provided is a food waste disposer. The food waste disposer according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes: a housing; a grinder detachably installed inside the housing and configured to grind food waste accommodated therein; and a deodorizer positioned to a side of the grinder, and configured to suck a smell generated from the grinder and discharge the smell to outside of the housing, wherein the grinder includes: a grinding case; a rotating grinder including a plurality of blades rotatably installed at different heights inside the grinding case; and a wall grinder including a protrusion protruding inward from the grinding case at a different height from the plurality of blades, the wall grinder detachably installed on a side wall of the grinding case.

A fluid treatment apparatus including a photocatalyst filter having a first surface and a second surface, a light source unit spaced apart from the photocatalyst filter to provide light to the first surface, a housing including an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path formed between the photocatalyst filter and the light source, and a guide member disposed at one side of the housing and including at least one slat to guide a movement direction of a fluid, in which the slat is inclined at least in a direction closer to the first surface of the photocatalyst filter along an advancing direction of the flow path when an air flow rate of the fluid has a first value, and in a direction away from the first surface of the photocatalyst filter along the advancing direction when the air flow rate of the fluid is greater than the first value.

Embodiments of the present invention include a filter element for decomposing contaminants including a substrate, and a photocatalytic composition comprising at least a photocatalyst and a co-catalyst. The embodiments of the present invention also includes a system for decomposing contaminants including a substrate, and a photocatalytic composition comprising at least a photocatalyst and a co-catalyst; and a method using the system.

Disclosed are a disease diagnosis device and a diagnosis method thereof. The disease diagnosis device includes a pump for pumping a respiratory gas, a first pre-treatment portion connected to the pump and removing moisture and bad breath in the respiratory gas, and a volatile organic compound (VOC) detection portion connected between the first pre-treatment portion and the pump to detect VOCs in the respiratory gas.

The present invention discloses a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with monomethylamine degradability and the application thereof. This strain, named Pseudomonas aeruginosa GDUTAN1, was deposited on May 24, 2017 in the China Center for Type Culture Collection in Wuhan University, Wuhan City, Hubei Province with a deposit number of CCTCC NO.: M 2017283. This Pseudomonas aeruginosa GDUTAN1 was Gram-negative and rod-like, and round, green and opaque in the colony morphology, having a diameter of 1-2 mm. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa GDUTAN1 of the present invention can be applied to environmental remediation, degrading monomethylamine in the environment at a high degradation efficiency. When it degrades monomethylamine for 96 h at a substrate concentration of 50-140 mg/L, the degradation efficiency can reach more than 99%.

A compact conditioning system for controlling a volume, comprises: (a) at least one light source, said light source being coupled with a replaceable focusing lens; (b) at least one fan; (c) at least one temperature sensor; (d) control circuitry adapted to receive inputs from said sensor(s) and/or from a user, and to operate said light source(s) and/or said fan(s) as a result thereof; and (e) a housing suitable to house said light source, fan and control circuitry and adapted to be positioned at the top of a structural element defining a closed space.

A free standing liquid membrane is disclosed that can selectively separate objects based on the kinetic energy value of the objects such that either an object having a first kinetic energy value can pass through the free standing liquid membrane while retaining the membrane and/or an object having a second kinetic energy value is prevented from passing through the membrane while retaining the membrane. Advantageously, the free standing liquid membrane can remain intact for seconds to hours with multiple objects passing through the membrane.
