INSPECTION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011960 titled 'INSPECTION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an ultraviolet ray emitter that consists of an inner tube and an outer tube. The outer tube surrounds the inner tube and creates a discharge space where discharge gas is sealed. The emitter also includes a pair of electrodes that cause discharge in the discharge space, and an auxiliary light source that emits light to assist in the excitation of the discharge gas from the outside of the outer tube. The outer tube is designed to prevent the passage of ultraviolet light generated by the discharge gas, but allows the passage of light emitted by the auxiliary light source.
- The ultraviolet ray emitter includes an inner tube and an outer tube.
- The outer tube forms a discharge space where discharge gas is sealed.
- A pair of electrodes causes discharge in the discharge space.
- An auxiliary light source emits light to assist in the excitation of the discharge gas.
- The outer tube blocks ultraviolet light generated by the discharge gas but allows the passage of light from the auxiliary light source.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Sterilization and disinfection: The ultraviolet ray emitter can be used in medical facilities, laboratories, and other environments where sterilization is crucial.
- Water purification: The emitter can be employed in water treatment systems to eliminate harmful microorganisms.
- Air purification: The technology can be utilized in air purifiers to remove bacteria, viruses, and other airborne contaminants.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient sterilization: The emitter provides a more effective and efficient method of sterilization compared to traditional methods.
- Improved water and air quality: The technology helps in achieving cleaner and safer water and air by eliminating harmful microorganisms.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced safety: The emitter prevents the passage of harmful ultraviolet rays, reducing the risk of exposure to humans.
- Energy efficiency: The auxiliary light source assists in the excitation of the discharge gas, resulting in improved energy efficiency.
- Versatility: The technology can be applied in various industries and settings, providing a versatile solution for sterilization and purification needs.
Original Abstract Submitted
an ultraviolet ray emitter includes an inner tube, an outer tube arranged around the inner tube, the outer tube defining between the outer tube and the inner tube, a discharge space where discharge gas is sealed, a pair of electrodes that causes discharge in the discharge space, and an auxiliary light source that assists excitation of discharge gas by emitting light to discharge gas from the outside of the outer tube. the outer tube is less likely to allow passage therethrough of ultraviolet light generated by excitation of discharge gas than the inner tube but allows passage therethrough of light having a wavelength emitted from the auxiliary light source.
