Abstract:
An air cleaner includes a negative ion generation portion generating negative ions, a positive ion generation portion generating positive ions, a drive portion adjusting a distance between the ion generation portions, a wind velocity sensor detecting wind velocity at positions where the ion generation portions are installed, and a microcomputer controlling the drive portion based on a detection result of the wind velocity sensor and setting distance D between the ion generation portions to an optimal value. Therefore, since the distance between the ion generation portions is set to the optimal value, a large amount of ion generation can be obtained.

Recovering metallic materials, such as copper, from waste materials. The dynamic sensor measures the rate of change of current generated by metallic materials in the waste materials. Preprocessing and post processing of the waste materials may be completed to further concentrate the amount the metallic materials recovered from the waste.

The process utilizes said device to affect and electron configuration within fluids by generating a magnetic field, thereby separating, for example, metals and organic or inorganic materials from fluids, in order to achieve desired fluid composition and properties.
Abstract:
A contaminant extraction apparatus, systems and method for extracting contaminants, such as particles and polar molecules, from an air flow containing a contaminated gas such as air so that the contaminants are expelled from the embodiments after they are extracted. One method includes the steps of generating two electric fields in separate air flow channels separated by an extraction grid with the second electric field having a greater potential difference than the first electric field; generating a first air flow through the first air flow channel and a second air flow through a second air flow channel; dispensing charged liquid droplets into the first air flow using at least one charged droplet generator; allowing the droplets to transfer charge to those contaminants; and expelling the contaminants into the second air flow using the potential difference in the second electric field.
Abstract:
A magnetic debris level measuring device for a magnetic filter is disclosed. The magnetic debris level measuring device includes a magnetometer and a temperature sensor. The temperature measured by the temperature sensor is used to calculate a corrected magnetometer reading, which in turn can be used to determine the amount of captured magnetic debris held within the filter. The device has a stored threshold for the corrected magnetometer reading, and when the corrected magnetometer reading crosses the stored threshold a notification is issued that the filter is full. If it is detected that debris continues to be captured after the ‘full’ notification has been issued, the stored threshold will be updated accordingly.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for separating and collecting single aggregates from fumed silica, and a method for classifying a shape of the collected single aggregates, and more specifically, includes preparing a slurry in which fumed silica is dispersed in water; aerosolizing the slurry; and collecting single aggregates of the finned silica in the aerosol using the electric field.
Abstract:
A air cleaner includes a main body, a sensor, a clean module and a fan. The main body further has at least one main body air inlet and at least one main body air outlet. The sensor located inside the main body for detecting air quality of a first air entering the main body further includes at least one sensor's air-inlet and at least one sensor's air-outlet. The clean module located inside the main body is to purify the first air. The fan located inside the main body is to draw the first air into the main body via the main body air inlet. After the first air passes the clean module to form a second air, the purified second air is then sent out of the main body via the main body air outlet.

Provided are a particle collector system and a dust collection method whereby particles can be almost completely removed without periodic performance of a particle removal operation. A particle collector system (1-1) is provided with a dust collection unit (2), a power source unit (3), and a capacitance measurement unit (4). The dust collection unit (2) comprises first and second electrodes (21, 22) a second electrode (22), and a dielectric body (20) covering the electrodes. The power source unit (3) is a component for supplying power source voltage to the first and second electrodes (21, 22). The capacitance measurement unit (1), which is a component for measuring the capacitance of the dust collection unit (2), measures the capacitance between the first and second electrodes (21, 22).
Abstract:
A method of separating a powder mixture is disclosed. A first magnetic field is applied to the powder mixture which may contains a non-magnetic metal powder and a contaminant powder. A field strength of the first magnetic field magnetizes the non-magnetic metal powder and leaves the contaminant powder non-magnetized. A second magnetic field is applied to the powder mixture to separate the magnetized metal powder from the non-magnetized contaminant powder.
