摘要： A personal humidifier includes a main body having a centrally apertured front wall and an open back. A rear cover closes the open back and a sponge-retaining cavity is formed by the main body and the rear cover. Ambient air enters into the cavity through air inlets formed in the rear cover and flows through a water-retaining sponge. A fan is mounted on an output shaft of a DC motor and pulls humidified and cooled air out of the cavity after the air has passed through the water-retaining sponge. Guide vanes direct the humidified and cooled air towards a user's face when the personal humidifier is attached to a neck strap and positioned in overlying relation to the user's chest.

摘要： In one embodiment of the invention, iCVD is used to form linear thin films using a radical initiator and an alkene. In another embodiment, iCVD is used to form crosslinked thin films by the addition of a crosslinking agent (e.g., a diacrylate or a dimethyacrylate). The incorporation of a crosslinking agent into the thin films is shown to increase systematically with its partial pressure. In one embodiment, when the crosslinker is EDGA and the monomer is HEMA it results in crosslinked P(HEMA-co-EGDA) copolymer. In another embodiment, when the crosslinker is EDGA and the monomer is VP, it results in crosslinked P(VP-co-EGDA). Disclosed are the effects of crosslinker incorporation on the thermal and the wetting properties of the polymers. The unique swelling properties of these films are also described; certain films of the present invention are hydrogels when soaked in water.

摘要： One aspect of the present invention is directed to antimicrobial surfaces comprised of hydrocarbon polymers with significant hydrophobic character which also contain an amino group with a pKa greater than or equal to about 8. In certain embodiments initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) is used to coat a surface with an antimicrobial polymer.

摘要： A personal air cooling apparatus includes a main housing having a hollow interior that houses a water-retaining sponge in a first chamber and a motor-driven fan in a second chamber. A partition wall separates the chambers and is apertured so that air pulled into the first chamber flows through the sponge and through the aperture into an air passageway that leads to an air outlet vent that directs a strong flow of cooled air onto the user. The first chamber has a depth less than a depth of the sponge so that an empty space is provided between the partition wall and the sponge. The empty space facilitates flow of ambient air through the sponge and reduces the load on the motor. The personal air cooling apparatus is compact and light-in-weight so that it can be carried by a user.
