Abstract:
A water purification system includes one or more germicidal UV light sources that operate within an amplifying chamber that contains a given amount of fluid as a batch or as flowing through the chamber at any given time. The amplifying chamber has a highly reflective inner surface that redirects the germicidal UV light that reaches the highly reflective inner surface back through the fluid simultaneously in substantially all directions. A power source drives the one or more UV light sources to provide to the fluid contained within the amplifying chamber a fraction of the total UV energy that is required to purify the given amount of fluid. The amplifying chamber repeatedly redirects the UV light that reaches the highly reflective inner surface back into the fluid, to provide a dose required to purify the fluid.
Abstract:
Invention regards a light-emitting diode (LED)-based system for purifying a fluid flowing through a pipe, said system comprising means for mounting the system on the pipe, a housing, a pliant carrier structure comprising a plurality of LEDs arranged flush with a first surface (7) of the structure (8) and configured to emit radiation in UV range, wherein, when the system is pipe-mounted, said structure is detachably arranged within the housing, and said structure (8) adopts a substantially tubular shape within the housing with said first surface delimiting a purifying chamber (9), wherein said purifying chamber is in fluid communication with the pipe so that the fluid flowing through the pipe passes, prior to being dispensed, through the purifying chamber where it is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation of the energized LEDs.
Abstract:
A method for controlling operation of an inductive power supply system comprises establishing an inductive coupling between an inductive power supply and a remote device, the inductive power supply having a controller and a tank circuit; adjusting a resonant frequency of the inductive power supply when the remote device is inductively coupled with the inductive power supply; and adjusting at least one of an operating frequency of the inductive power supply, a duty cycle of the inductive power supply and a rail voltage of the inductive power supply, wherein adjusting the operating frequency of the inductive power supply and adjusting the duty cycle of the inductive power supply each include adjusting a drive circuit with the controller.
