An air pollution prevention device applied for a baby carriage includes a sealing cover, a filtration cleaner, a gas detection module and an intelligent control and process device. The sealing cover is hooded on the baby carriage for forming a sealed space. The filtration cleaner penetrates the sealing cover form the outside of the baby carriage for introducing an outside air into the sealed space of the baby carriage and discharging an air pollution source out of the sealed space. The gas detection module detects the air pollution source and outputs gas detection data. The intelligent control and process device receives and compares the gas detection data and controls an enablement of a gas guider of the filtration cleaner for filtering and exchanging the air pollution source in the sealed space so as to generate a clean air.

The present invention relates to a reusable food storage container designed to store food items while preventing the odor of stored food from being retained in the container material. The container has a base comprised of odor-resistant material, such as stainless steel or glass, and has a lid with an embedded replaceable charcoal filter. The charcoal filter is configured to absorb odor emanating from stored food items. The container can comprise different sizes, designs, shapes, and colors and can be washed and reused. In one embodiment, a lid of the container has a cavity for embedding the charcoal filter, and in another embodiment, the bottom surface of the lid has a frame with a continuous channel for accommodating the charcoal filter. The lid is configured to seal the stored food material using a skirt wall for preserving the food items.

A portable moisture trap for use with a vacuum pump includes: a housing; a cooling chamber positioned at least partially within the housing including a first inlet port and a second outlet port; a lid that sealably attaches to a top portion of the cooling chamber to seal the cooling chamber; a heat sink residing under the cooling chamber; a thermoelectric device having an upper cooling side and a lower heat generating side residing between the cooling chamber and the heat sink; a fan oriented to blow air upwardly toward the heat sink; and a baffle extending downwardly in the cooling chamber from a location proximate the lid to a location proximate an inner bottom surface of the cooling chamber, with the baffle configured to define a physical barrier to urge air received through the first port to flow down toward the inner bottom surface of the cooling chamber before exiting through the second port, to thereby remove moisture from air traveling through the cooling chamber in response to a vacuum pump in fluid communication with the second port.

The catalyst module is designed for use in an emission control system of an industrial scale combustion system. It comprises a stack frame, in which several mounting units, especially element boxes are inserted. Each of these is provided with several catalysts. In order to make a simple installation possible and, at the same time, a reliable sealing, the stack frame is assembled from side frame parts, which are connected and especially bolted to one another via mechanical connecting elements, a sealing element, which is inserted during the installation before the connection of the at least one side frame part and pressed against at least one element box with the help of the connecting element, being present at least at a side frame part.

Described herein are various embodiments of an oxygen concentrator system that includes a home oxygen concentrator system couplable to a portable oxygen concentrator system.

A compressed air supply unit for operating a pneumatic unit by means of a compressed air flow, in particular of an air suspension unit of a vehicle, comprises an air dryer arrangement in a main pneumatic line that pneumatically links a compressed air feed line from an air compressor and a compressed air connection to the pneumatic unit. A valve arrangement is pneumatically connected to the main pneumatic line for controlling the compressed air flow. The air dryer arrangement has a drying container having a container outer wall. A partition along a length of the drying container divides an internal space delimited by the container outer wall into first and second chambers delimited by the partition and the container outer wall. The partition adjoins the container outer wall along the length of the drying container, and the first and second chambers are adjacent to one another along that length.

An air filtration system which pulls air into and through the air filtration system filter where the air is exposed to a UV lamp that provides UV light, the UV lamp surrounded by an internally polished aluminum shield or other device made of a material that reflects or enhances kill ability of micro-organisms when exposed to UV light.
