Fouling Prevention TRIZ Cases
- Debris Localization on Vehicle Optical Surfaces
Arrays of perimeter light sources and detectors identify debris position via light scatter in vehicle optical surfaces.
- Biofilm Detection Kit Using Coomassie Blue Dye for Food Processing
Coomassie blue dye binds to extracellular matrix components to locate biofilms, reducing false positives and unnecessary production shutdowns.
- Mobile Contaminant Processing Device for Semiconductor Lines
A mobile contaminant processing device uses a manipulator arm to position a suction unit inside semiconductor lines.
- Engine Wash Collector with Angled Pan and Rotatable Panels
Angled collection pans and rotatable panels capture wash effluent, reducing fuel consumption by enabling liquid reuse.
- Microstructured Surface Scratch Visibility and Cleanability
Segmented microstructures balance biofilm resistance with brush accessibility while asymmetric geometry masks scratch visibility.
- Pallet Jack Cleaning Apparatus with Under-Side Spray Envelope
Pressurized spray nozzles reach the underside of pallet jacks to eliminate bacterial harborage points that manual wiping cannot effectively remove.
- HMD Dust-Proof Structure Using Adhesive Sealing
Adhesive material seals the holder insertion opening, fixing components while preventing dust ingress without bulky housings.
- Carbon Nanotube Steamphobic Surfaces via Plasma Polymerization
Plasma polymerized carbon nanotube mesh prevents Cassie-Baxter to Wenzel transition under high temperature steam exposure.
- Polymerized Organic Acid Dust Control for Mineral Supplements
A polymerized organic acid composition binds fine mineral particles into stable agglomerations to suppress airborne dust release.
