A catalyst adapted for generating hydrogen peroxide induced by a temperature difference and a method for environmental disinfection using the same are provided. The catalyst includes a thermoelectric material distributed on a substrate. The thermoelectric material induces a reaction between water vapor and oxygen contained in the air through a temperature difference to generate hydrogen peroxide, to serve a sterilization function through the hydrogen peroxide generated. The method for environmental disinfection using the catalyst includes the following. The catalyst is placed in an environment with a temperature difference. The catalyst is caused to induce a reaction between water vapor and oxygen contained in air through the temperature difference to generate hydrogen peroxide without applying power, and serve a sterilization function through the hydrogen peroxide generated.

A surface cleaning device includes a nozzle and an odor dial assembly. The nozzle includes a nozzle housing and a dirty air passageway. The odor dial assembly include a fragrance member and a dial body configured to be removably coupled to the nozzle housing. The dial body at least partially defines a fragrance cavity configured to at least partially receive the fragrance member and a fragrance passageway extending therethrough. The odor dial assembly is configured to transition between a plurality of user-selectable positions to adjust an amount of fragrance particles released by the fragrance member into the dirty air passageway.

A patient warming system for stabilizing and/or heating and cooling a patient includes a plurality of solid-surface sections arranged for attachment to a surgical table and a warming pad layer comprising a plurality of warming pads configured for removable connection to the plurality of solid-surface sections. At least one of the plurality of solid-surface sections includes a power connector for connection to an external power source. Each warming pad of the plurality of warming pads includes a foam insulation layer, a distributed heating element layer having a warming-pad power connection for connection to the power connector, an isothermal layer, and a flexible waterproof layer. Power supplied to the warming-pad power connection of the distributed heating element layer of the respective warming pad can be used to provide a user-selected uniform temperature over the surface of the flexible waterproof layer in order to prevent hot spots.

A tool adapted for use with a diffuser cartridge and a fluid container, wherein the tool is adapted to facilitate insertion and removal of the diffuser cartridge to and from the fluid container. The diffuser cartridge contains mineral agent beads or other materials which can enhance the quality of fluid contained within the container.
