20170307200 · 2017-10-26 ·

A light fixture for high temperature lights with a fluid cooling system operably secured thereto designed to provide optimal cooling using minimal resources and materials. The fluid may be air, water, coolant or the like. An improved heat sink positioned between the cooling fluid and the light provides optimal fluid flow geometries and creates at least one of three possible optimized cooling conditions: First, by forcing fluid to rush through one or more restricting apertures its velocity may be increased by the localized pressure drop. Second, by positioning the heat sink heat exchange structure immediately downstream of the restricting apertures and forcing the fluid flow to change direction while within the confines of the heat exchange structure. Third, the fluid flow may be bifurcated to flow bilaterally through both ends of the heat sink at once in parallel.

AGRICULTURAL PROACTIVE AIR/SURFACE DECONTAMINATION SYSTEM AND DEVICES

A system for decontaminating/neutralizing breathable air and surfaces in an occupied enclosed space, i.e., agricultural greenhouse, includes mounting an atmospheric hydroxyl radical generator along an inside surface of the atmospheric hydroxyl radical generator having respective opposite air inlets and air outlets. The hydroxyl radical generator includes a polygonal housing supporting a plurality of spaced crystal-spliced UV optics, which are tubular, medical grade pure quartz optics to emit/irradiate ultraviolet in the nanometer wavelength/ultraviolet spectrum of between 100 and 400 nanometers for deactivating and neutralizing atmospheric chemicals and pathogens in breathable air and surfaces. The hydroxyl radicals contact the walls of the reaction chamber housing. The hydroxyl radicals become created and excited to react quickly with impurities including VOC, virus, bacteria and fungi, rendering them inactivated and neutral. The breathable air passes through the polygonal housing and is decontaminated and neutralized of impurities before entering the occupied enclosed space.

LIGHTING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE IN VERTICAL HYDROPONICS

An adjustable lighting system and method are used to provide uniform exposure of light to plants in a vertical hydroponics system. The system and method utilize sensors, an adjustable lighting arrangement, and a microcontroller. The microcontroller measures light intensity within the vertical hydroponics system and adjusts the illumination of the lighting arrangement to provide an equal amount of illumination to the plants.

Trolley conveyor

A trolley conveyor. The trolley conveyor includes: a tubular rail track having a slotted opening at the top. A trolley chain installed to move in the rail track. A hanger is provided for suspending therebelow objects to be transported. The hanger includes a connector at the upper end thereof which extends downward to toward the center of the trolley chain. The trolley chain includes vertical and horizontal rollers in chain units, with vertical rollers in one chain unit and horizontal rollers in an adjacent chain unit. The chain units are pivotally connected for up and down and side to side motion within the track. While the trolley chain moves, the connector avoids contact with the ends of the slot in the track. Thus, the trolley conveyor prevents the generation of noise and foreign substances. Also, the trolley conveyor prevents transfer of dirt, oil, and debris to an object being transported.

Radiant artificial lunar lights having effective elements for growing plants

The present invention relates to the radiant artificial lunar light system that contains effective elements for the growth of plants. To explain more specifically, the radiant artificial lunar light system emits lights containing the main mineral materials distributed on the oceanic region of the moon, such as Si, Ti, Fe, Mg, Ca, Na, K, P, Mn, Cr, etc. each doped with a doner by the plural PN bond-type semiconductors' photon device modules; and plural PN bond-type semiconductors' photon device modules; and plural PN bond-type semiconductors' LED modules emitting lights of certain intensity, in order to form the radiant artificial lunar light system. If this system is turned into operation, using the microcomputer equipped with a means to control, controlling the wavelengths and luminous intensity, the radiant artificial lunar lights similar in nature (spectra) to the lights emitted from the oceanic and highland regions of the moon are made available so that the artificial lunar lights can supply the plants with the mineral elements for the plants to grow more effectively.
