Abstract: A vehicle air purifying device (1) is provided with a main body internally having an ion generating device. This main body is removably installed in th e seat space of a vehicle. For example, in the case where a beverage container holder (90) is installed in a vehicle, making the main body in circular cylinder to fit in the beverage container holder (90) enables the main body to be removably installed in the seat space of the vehicle. The power for drivi ng the vehicle air purifying device (1) can be taken from the cigarette lighter power source (91) of the vehicle through a connection cord (92). Since the main body is installed directly in the seat space of the vehicle, it is possible to improve the efficiency of supplying ions generated by the intern al ion generating device into the seat space. Further, since the main body is removably installed as a unit body in the seat space, even when a failure in the ion generating device or the like requires replacement, the installed io n generating device can be immediately removed to facilitate replacement.</SDO AB>

Abstract: A real-time digital cytometer on a chip system utilizing a custom near field CMOS active pixel intelligent sensor that is flip-chip attached to a fluidic microchannel etched in a thin glass substrate. The CMOS active pixel sensor, fabricated using a 0.18 micron process, is a mixed signal chip comprising a sixteen pixel linear adaptive spatial filter coupled to a digital serial interface. This near field hybrid digital sensor topology obviates the need for both high resolution analog to digital conversion as well as conventional microscopy for the realization of real time optical cytometry. The custom sensor based design approach affords efficient scaling into a tiled multi-channel sensing configuration. The complete system, supported by a handheld graphical user interface and control module, demonstrates a viable micro total analysis sub-system for sample preparation and analysis which can support a wide range of applications ranging from cytometry to cell growth kinetics and analysis and various forms of fluid and droplet metering on an integrated and compact microfluidic platform.
