Methods and systems are disclosed for phototreatment in which replaceable containers comprising one or more adjuvant (consumable or re-useable) substances are employed. The adjuvant substance can be, for example, a topical substance or a coolant. Systems are disclosed for using a topical substance to detect contact of a phototreatment device with a tissue, detect speed of a phototreatment device over the tissue, detect regions of tissue that have been treated by a phototreatment device and/or to provide other benefits to the tissue such as improved skin tone and texture, tanning, etc. Safety systems are also disclosed that ensure that a proper consumable substance and/or container is connected to a phototreatment device and/or directed to a proper target. Additionally, cooling systems and methods that utilize phase change materials for extracting heat from a light generating device are disclosed.

A light emitting device comprises a light emitting element, and a light conversion member including a phosphor material that is capable of absorbing light emitted from the light emitting element at least partially and emitting light in different wavelength. The light emitting device further comprises a heat dissipation member in a side where the light conversion member as viewed from the light emitting element.

An LED lighting device for use in and powered through an incandescent light bulb alternating current socket is provided. The lighting device includes an LED light, a regulation circuit and a base. The regulation circuit converts an alternating current input to a direct current output. The base is adapted to fit within an incandescent light bulb alternating current socket. In addition to the LED light, regulation circuit and base, the invention can further include a heat sink that removes heat from the LED light, regulation circuit and combinations thereof. Preferably the heat sink is a ceramic. In addition, the regulation circuit can be a printed circuit that is printed directly onto the ceramic heat sink. The LED light, regulation circuit, base, and ceramic heat sink take the form of a lighting device that is exchangeable with an incandescent light bulb in traditional lighting fixtures.

Oral phototherapy applicators are disclosed that are sized and shaped so as to fit at least partially in a user's mouth with a plurality of bristles of elongate shape coupled to an apparatus body. The applicators can be adapted to brush the user's teeth and further include at least one radiation emitter coupled to the body to provide phototherapeutic radiation to a portion of the oral cavity other than tissue in contact with the bristles. In one embodiment, the applicator include a heat transfer element, such as, for example a fluid pump.

The present invention comprises an electrical connector device for electrically connecting an alternating current (“AC”) photovoltaic (“PV”) solar panel device having an integral micro-inverter to the utility grid. The electrical connector device is a compression connector fitting that includes an upper and lower housing, which each include a channel for receiving the main electrical conductor line. The electrical connector device further includes three electrical prong, which are designed to pierce and penetrate the insulation of the main electrical conductor line to establish an electrical connection between the micro-inverter and the utility grid, when the electrical connector device is compressed about the main electrical conductor line. The shape of the channel formed in the electrical connector device has a distinctive cross-sectional shape that substantially corresponds to the shape of the main electrical conductor line to insure proper alignment and orientation of the main conductor line within the connector device.

A data center includes an air-conditioned room, two rack rows formed on a floor surface of the air-conditioned room and each composed of a plurality of racks arranged in a horizontal direction, each of the plurality of racks housing electronic devices in multistage configuration, an air conditioner for conditioning air in the air-conditioned room to eliminate heat generated from the electronic devices housed in the plurality of racks, and a hot zone in the air-conditioned room. The hot zone is defined by the two rack rows arranged on the floor surface of the air-conditioned room such that rear sides thereof are opposite each other at a distance, a ceiling disposed above the two rack rows, two panels disposed at both ends of the two rack rows in the horizontal direction and extending from a lower end of the two rack rows to the ceiling, and two partitions disposed at an upper front top end of the two rack rows and extending to the ceiling. The ceiling includes an exhaust port for discharging heat in the hot zone, and the air conditioner is operable to introduce air-conditioned air from the air-conditioned room through front sides and then the rear sides of the two rack rows into the hot zone.

A cooler for an air conditioning system or other system having a heated surface to be cooled has an array of nozzles for issuing a fine spray of liquid. A fan of the cooler induces flow of air over a surface to be cooled, the nozzles issuing into the flow of air the fine spray at a distance from the heated surface such that the liquid of the fine spray is fully evaporated prior to contact with the heated surface. Drop sizes of 20 to 30 microns are typical.

The present invention relates to a kind of integrated heat pipe and a method of heat exchange. The heat pipe includes a tank (1-2) as a heating potion and a lot of heat carriers (1-4) as a radiating portion. The tank (1-2) and the heat carriers (1-4) have same cavity in which a coolant (1-3) is partially filled. The tank (1-2) is held in close contact with a heat source (such as electronic elements). The heat carriers (1-4) are arranged at an interval so that the radiating channels (1-4a) are formed between them. The coolant (1-3) in the tank (1-2) is heated by the heat sources, vaporized coolant moves to the heat carriers (1-4) and condenses in there. According to the invention, the heat pipe can be increased its radiating surface significantly with the varied arrangement of the heat carriers (1-4).
