Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition of autologous decontamination or autologous cleaning coating against deleterious biological pathogens and toxic substances. SOLUTION: The coating composition is photochemically inert to ultraviolet ray irradiation and composed of a transition metal oxide compound dispersed in an oxidation resistant resin due to a hydroxy radical. The transition metal oxide compound is selected from the group consisting of TiO 2 , WO 3 , ZnO, SnO 2 , ZrO 2 , CrO 2 , SbO 4 and their mixtures. The coating provides autologous decontamination or autologous cleaning capable of oxidation of organic substances on the coated surface. Thus, the coating composition degrades and removes foreign organic and inorganic substances and inhibits the growth of disease-inducing organisms such as bacteria and fungi and others.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system which uses back-body radiation to detect the defects of covering objects.
SOLUTION: This is the system which utilizes temperature of a covering object nearly in stable state, in cooperation with an optical inspection system to selectively find defects and characteristics of the object through its covering, without the need for temporary heating, that is, infrared irradiation and reflective imaging. In the system, an optical tester such as infrared camera can be matched with to the wavelength making the covering material approximately transparent, thereby its defects and characteristics can be found clearly at maximum, to distinguish between false characteristics on surface of the covering and true defects and characteristics. Thus this invented system enables inspection of small area or large area in real time, without the need for any complicated image acquisition/storage means, image processing device and software.

Abstract: A method for producing a self decontaminating surface to decontaminate chemical and biological contaminants that are deposited on the surface and decontaminatable through reaction with free hydroxyl radicals. The method first includes determination of a surface to be treated and which is exposable to ultraviolet light. Second, a coating of nanoparticles of a transition metal oxide, non-limitedly exemplified by anatase titanium dioxide, is applied to the chosen surface. Application of the coating is accomplished by spraying heated nanoparticles or clusters thereof from a feed stock onto the surface to form a nanoparticle coating, with the nanoparticles being at a temperature of at least about 750 DEG C upon exit from a spray apparatus and of a size between about 5 nm and 100 nm. Finally, the treated surface is exposed to ultraviolet light and water moisture, either naturally from the environment or artifically, to thereby catalytically form free hydroxyl radicals that thereafter react with the contaminants to render them generally harmless.

Abstract: An improved system for visual inspection of substrates (12) coated with paints (14) and polymers is disclosed. Painted substrates (10) can be inspected for environmental and physical damage such as corrosion and cracks without removing the paint (14). The present invention provides the ability to maximize paint thickness penetration. This is accomplished with a spectral bandpass filter (15) that rejects reflected light from the coating opaque bands, while allowing light in the paint window to pass to an IR detector (16) such as an IR camera focal plane. The narrow bandpass range enhances the ability for IR imaging to see through thicker paint layers and improves the contrast over standard commercial ER mid-wave cameras. The bandpass may be adjusted to coincide with the full spectral window of the paint, consistent with the ability of the imaging focal plane to detect light in the spectral region.

Abstract: A microbicidal filter system having superior drop pressure and low complexity is provided, as well as a method for producing the same. The system comprises a plurality of glass beads (60) having pores formed therebetween for the flow of air therethrough. The sintered glass beads (60) are coated in a transition metal oxide and water.
