An exhaust fan for preventing air pollution includes a main body and at least one gas detection module. The main body is configured to form an airflow-guiding path and includes a gas guider and a filtration and purification component disposed in the airflow-guiding path. The gas guider introduces an air convection for guiding an air pollution source contained in an air to pass through the filtration and purification component so as to filter and purify the air pollution source. The at least one gas detection module is disposed in the airflow-guiding path for detecting the air pollution source and transmitting gas detection data.

A portable airborne pathogen control apparatus and system. Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a portable airborne pathogen control apparatus configured to be selectively positioned within an interior room and configured to enable a floor-to-ceiling flow of air within the interior room. The portable airborne pathogen control apparatus may comprise a housing with an air intake disposed at a lower area of a base housing and an air outlet disposed at an upper area of an elongated duct extending from the base housing. A blower fan housed within an interior chamber of the housing may be configured to direct a floor-to-ceiling flow of air through the interior chamber from the air intake to the air outlet. A volume of air directed through the interior chamber of the housing may be disinfected using one or more UV-C emitters and/or cold plasma generator(s) housing in the interior chamber of the housing.

A negative pressure-side flow path having a negative pressure-side filter and a positive pressure-side flow path having a positive pressure-side filter are connected in parallel between a first port and a second port, and a shuttle valve is installed between the negative pressure-side flow path and the positive pressure-side flow path, and the first port, thus when a negative pressure is supplied to the first port, the first port is caused to communicate with the second port through the negative pressure-side flow path, and when a positive pressure is supplied to the first port, the first port is caused to communicate with the second port through the positive pressure-side flow path.

The invention discloses a reticle storage device including a top lid, a bottom lid and a soft contact member. The top lid has a ceiling and a cover surrounding the ceiling. The bottom lid has a carrier and a peripheral structure surrounding the carrier. The soft contact member is configured to laterally extend in between the cover and the peripheral structure when the top lid and the bottom lid engage with each other, and to extend from an inside to an outside of the device in order to buffer the contact among the two lids.

Systems and methods of aseptic processing of product can include a hopper for introduction of the product into the system and one or more components through which the product flows as it is processed through the system, an enclosure surrounding one more of the components, a gassing assembly comprising a plurality of gassing elements for maintaining a substantially constant flow of inert gas over the product as it travels through the components of the system, and filtered gas recirculation system that recirculates filtered air or gas through the enclosure. Such systems can be particularly advantageous for use in the cannabis industry.

A filter apparatus and method having a test port member in combination with a filter media. The test port member may be positioned adjacent the outer periphery of the outer peripheral frame and may be attached to a truncated portion of the filter media. One or more scrim layers may be disposed across one or more sides of the test port member and/or the truncated portion of the filter media. A plug may be inserted into a through port of the test port member.

A system and method for maintaining, monitoring and improving air quality and purity in a room or environment, such as a hospital room or operating room.

A HEPA/VOC air handling system having a HEPA air filtration unit, an air handling unit, a fresh air sensor system, a return air sensor system, an air handling air sensor, and a controller.

An air purifier including a fan having a plurality of fan speeds; a filter, wherein the fan draws air through the filter; a user interface in communication with a control system; wherein upon activation of the control system, the control system identifies an initial air quality index (AQI) based upon a geographic location of the air purifier, a room size based upon the type of room in which the air purifier is placed, and identifies a fan speed set by a user through the user interface, and determines a target air quality index achievable in thirty minutes of fan operation is provided. Further provided is an air purifier capable of predicting and updating time to achieve a target air quality and a target air quality based on a number of environmental factors.

An apparatus for collecting a by-product, includes: a chamber provided with a gas inlet and a gas outlet and having an internal space; a heater disposed on the gas inlet side of the internal space within the chamber and varying a heating temperature in time series; a vortex forming member disposed around the heater; a plurality of first collecting members disposed below the heater; a second collecting member disposed below the first collecting member so that a plurality of second collecting members intersect each other; and a third collecting member disposed on the gas outlet side of the internal space within the chamber.
