embodiment, the spray volume and/or droplet size is adjusted as the particle concentration changes. In another embodiment, the spray volume is increased as the volume of effluent gas decreases.
5759487 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STERILIZING AND COLLECTING DUST IN AN AIR CONDITIONER Jung Choo Shick Suwon, KOREA assigned to Samsung Electronics Co Ltd The invention relates to an apparatus for sterilizing and collecting indoor pollutants and a method thereof, and more particularly to an apparatus and a method for sterilizing indoor floating funguses by use of a large quantity of ozone generated from a negative electrode discharge for an instant. The apparatus and method also improve dust collecting efficiency by controlling the use of positive and negative high voltage discharges based on a detected pollution level of the indoor air.
5759561 PEST CONTROL Angst Max; Gugumus Francois; Rist urn1 u nther; Magden, Vogt Manfred; Rody Jean Novartis assigned to SWITZERLAND Corporation A composition for controlling harmful insects and representatives of the order Acarina, containing as biologically active components a) a substance that modifies the behaviour of the pests and b) at least one pesticidally active compound, wherein the biologically active components are contained in a flowable or viscous non-hardening matrix that is resistant to water and weather, is protected against light and is suitable for distribution in the form of droplets or droplet-like units or spots that adhere to a substrate, by means of which matrix the
behaviour-modifying substance is protected against UV radiation and from which it is slowly released in a biologically effective amount over a prolonged period, and wherein the pesticidally active compound can be taken up in a pesticidally effective amount from the surface of the droplets or droplet-like units or spots by the pests to be controlled; as well as a method of controlling the said pests, especially plant-destructive insects.

Arlington,
VA, UNITED
A system for automatic operation of Venetian blinds and similar window coverings. A preferred embodiment, system 30, can be retrofitted to any conventional Venetian blind without tools, removal of the blind, or installation of wiring (FIG. IOA). System 30 is attached to a blind 15 by a bracket 80, which engages a headrail 16 of blind 15, and is secured by a thumbscrew 84. System 30 includes a gearmotor 85 which drives a coupling tube 9 1; coupling tube 91 is attached to a tilt-adjustment shaft 18 of blind 15 (FIG. 3A). The mechanical coupling between gearmotor 85 and coupling tube 91 includes a flexible coupling and an extensible coupling, which enable gear-motor 85 to rotate shaft 18 over a wide range of sizes and configurations of blind 15 (FIGS. 5A and 5B). System 30 also includes a photovoltaic source 3 1 mounted on a flexible member 99. Member 99 provides electrical connections to source 3 1, and supports it in an advantageous position to receive solar radiation (FIGS. 8B and 8C), regardless of the size and mounting arrangement of blind 15. System 30 also includes four momentary-contact electrical switches 38 to 41 and an actuating body 94, to which a tilt-control wand 19 of blind 15 can be attached. Together, actuating body 94 and
