Abstract: A filter for removing contaminants from air. The filter includes (a) a substrate that does not have any volatile ammonia on the surface thereof; (b) copper that has been impregnated onto the substrate; and (c) molybdenum and/or tungsten that has been impregnated onto the substrate. The filter can be made using an aqueous solution(s) that contains one or more of a first copper salt and a second salt that include a polynuclear anion that contains molybdenum, tungsten, or both. Because the metals can be impregnated onto the substrate surface without using an ammonium-based solution, the need to manage ammonia off-gassing is avoided. Further, no volatile ammonia would be present on the resulting substrate surface.

Abstract: A loudspeaker and an alarm with a luminous element are provided, which are improved based on the original loudspeaker and luminous element. The luminous element is an illuminating lamp, while a heat radiator is mounted near the illuminating lamp. Due to the addition of a heat radiator, a light source with a larger power could be selected as the luminous element, making the loudspeaker have the function of illumination so as to substitute the former illuminating lamp within the place. Also, employing an alarm made with the loudspeaker, using the bright light emitted by the illuminating lamp on each loudspeaker, it makes better for illumination, as well as making each illuminating lamp twinkle according to the direction pre-programmed, so as to achieve the purpose of directing a direction, and help people escape rapidly from a dangerous place. Further, in the case when the external power source is broken, by means of the built-in emergency power source, the loudspeaker and the illuminating lamp can still be ensured to work normally.

Abstract: The invention provides a knitted spacer fabric having a tightly knitted bottom layer (10), a more loosely knitted up-per layer (12) and linking fibres (14) extending across the space (16) between the lower and upper faces (10,12). Settable material, e.g. cement, is introduced into the space (16) between the upper and lower faces and can be caused to set by the addition of a liq-uid, e.g. water. Until set, the fabric is flexible and can be shaped but after the material in space (16) has set, the fabric is rigid and can be used as a structural element in a wide range of situations. The bottom layer (10) has an extension (24) that extends beyond the upper face (12) and is connected to the upper face by elastic connecting fibres (26) that draw the extension towards the other face, thereby at least partly closing the space at the edge of the cloth and preventing the settable material from spilling out. In addition, the packing of the settable material and maximum space between the faces are such that only a predetermined amount of liquid can be accommodated within the space and that amount is matched to the water required to set the cement.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for combining a mobile communication device having a camera (150) that includes a curved sensor (160) are disclosed. The present invention offers higher quality pictures that conventional phones that incorporate a flat sensor. These higher quality pictures are obtained without the need for large, bulky and expensive lenses. Higher light gathering capacity is provided, which reduces or eliminates the need for a flash to enhance ambient illumination. Longer battery life is obtained, since the need for a flash is reduced or eliminated. The combination of a mobile communication device with a camera that utilizes a curved sensor renders dedicated pocket cameras obsolete. The present invention, which, for the first time, combines a mobile communication device with a high performance camera, will reduce or eliminate the need to carry a separate stand-alone camera.
