Disclosed is a gas pressure regulator for gas or liquid that has inlet, an outlet and a diaphragm positioned between said inlet and said outlet in an manner that one side of the diaphragm controls the flow of fluid through the inlet to the outlet, a vent exposed to the opposite side of said diaphragm, and a spring in association with the opposite side of the diaphragm to adjust the position of the diaphragm, and a gas porous filter positioned in an manner that is adjacent the vent.

A device for preventing contamination of a positive-pressure connector (6) of an indwelling needle and a method based on same. The device comprises a shell (1), a connecting port (3) fixedly connected to the shell (1) and used for connecting to the positive-pressure connector (6), an air pressure balance hole (5) disposed opposite to the connecting port (3) and provided on the shell (1), and a filtering membrane (2) provided between the air pressure balance hole (5) and the connecting port (3). The device is simple in structure, adopts a structural design of the filtering membrane (2), can filter microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, dusts, and particulate pollution sources, and is used during indwelling of infusion intervals to prevent the positive-pressure connector (6) from being exposed to the air and maintain the aseptic state and positive-pressure condition of the positive-pressure connector (6) during indwelling.

The formation of sterilization tubes by plates with parts that match in whole or in part, that when assembled together form ducts, passages, channels, or tubes in a mass or block of heat resistant material. The size of the block may be reduced by forming the ducts as curved passages or tubes that will keep or increase the length of the tube while keeping the same or more exposure time while the gas is passing through. If the length of the curved duct is the same as a straight tube would have been, the overall size of the assembly may be reduced from what it otherwise would have been. If the curved length is made longer while the size of the assembly is kept the same, the exposure time is increased for a more effective sterilization.

An ember-blocking vent screen for covering a roof vent comprises a screen section and at least two strips of pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) heavy duty tape attached at opposite edges of the screen section such that deployment portions of the tape strips overlap and extend transversely beyond their respective screen edges. The screen section is made of stainless steel or aluminum wire, has interstices sufficiently small to block passage of small minimum diameter embers therethrough, is lightweight, and is sufficiently malleable to be capable of conforming to the contour of the vent being covered. The deployment portion of the tape strips is such that deployment portions of the tape extend transversely (i.e., widthwise) beyond respective screen edges covered with a release liner that is removable for installation of the screen

A blow-by gas filtration assembly has an axis and includes an assembly body including a filtration chamber, an inlet mouth for filtering the blow-by gases, and an outlet mouth for the filtered blow-by gases. A filter group includes a central cavity radially crossed by blow-by gases. An electric drive operatively connects to the filter group to command rotation about the axis and filtration, and includes an electric motor including a stator and rotor. An axial shaft includes a filter portion mounting the filter group, a command portion mounting the rotor, and a support portion axially between the filter and command portions. A support bearing radially engages the support portion and the assembly body. The filter assembly screwably engages the filter group and filter portion, by respective filter and shaft threads so the filter group screws to the shaft until the support bearing is axially engaged.

An exhaust and filtration assembly includes: a housing; an exhaust vent configured to guide unfiltered air out of the exhaust and filtration assembly; a filter assembly configured to filter air and guide the filtered air out of the exhaust and filtration assembly; an exhaust assembly configured to direct raw air from an entry port of the exhaust and filtration assembly and direct air out of the exhaust vent without the air having been filtered; and a controller comprising computing logic configured to control so that only one of air filtration and raw air exhaust occurs at any given time.

An indoor pollution prevention system includes a plurality of gas detection modules, one or more intelligent control-driving processing devices, one or more gas-exchange processing devices, one or more intake passages, and one or more discharge passages. The intake passage is connected to the gas-exchange processing device and has an intake opening for guiding the outdoor gas into an indoor space. The discharge passage is connected to the gas-exchange processing device and has a discharge opening for discharging the air pollution source to the outdoor space. The intelligent control-driving processing device controls the gas-exchange processing device to be enabled under a surveillance condition of the gas detection module, so that the air pollution source passes through the discharge passage, filtered and purified by a cleaning and filtration assembly, and is discharged to the outdoor space, thereby allowing the indoor space to have a clean air.

A ridge vent for ventilating a roof of a building via a hole along a roof ridge to atmosphere, the ridge vent comprising a first ridge vent panel: a flange portion for resting on the roof, the flange portion having an opening for overlapping with the hole, the flange portion having a first flange portion positioned to one side of the opening and a second flange portion positioned to another side of the opening, such that the first flange portion and the second flange portion are at an acute angle with respect to one another; a frame portion coupled to the flange portion and having sides extending upwardly from the flange portion about the opening, the frame portion for maintaining a cap portion in a spaced apart relationship with the flange portion; the cap portion connected to the frame portion and covering over the opening; a first corrugated filter plate extending between the cap portion and the flange portion and positioned transversely between the opening and the atmosphere, the first corrugated filter plate positioned to said one side of the opening; and a second corrugated filter plate extending between the cap and the flange portion and positioned transversely between the opening and the atmosphere, the second corrugated filter plate positioned to said another side of the opening; wherein the corrugated filter plates providing for a passage of air between the atmosphere and the opening, the corrugated filter plates having a pore size sufficient for facilitating the air passage of air through the corrugated filter plates while blocking passage of atmospheric particles through the corrugated filter plates.

Provided is a cooking apparatus including: a main body; and a ventilator comprising a ventilator body including an inlet configured to inhale air containing oil mist generated in a cooking process using a heating device, a blower configured to blow the inhaled air from the inlet; and an oil mist filter positioned inside the ventilator body, and configured to remove the oil mist by filtering the oil mist from the inhaled air.

A system for removing particulates of a fissile material includes first and second filtration paths. A first filter and a first valve are disposed in the first filtration path. A second filter and a second valve are disposed in the second filtration path. The first valve and the second valve are configured to switch between a dual open state and a mixed open/closed state. During the dual open state, the first valve and the second valve axe open to permit concurrent flows of the effluent gas through the first and second filtration paths. During the mixed open/closed state, one of the first valve and the second valve is open while the other of the first valve and the second valve is closed to permit the particulates on a corresponding one of the first filter and the second filter to be dislodged by a countercurrent flow of a purging gas.
