The present invention relates to a dust measuring apparatus and, more particularly, to a miniaturized fine dust measuring apparatus. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a non-sampling fluid is discharged irrespective of a speed change of an external fluid, thereby providing a particle sampling probe and a miniaturized fine dust measurement apparatus that provide uniform-speed sampling. Accordingly, it is possible to eliminate a restriction on a place for fine dust measurement.

Provided are an apparatus and a system for classifying particles. The apparatus for classifying particles includes: an internal electrode which has a column shape; an external electrode which is spaced apart from the internal electrode and disposed to surround the internal electrode, and generates an electric field through an interaction with the internal electrode; and an aerosol supply unit which supplies aerosol particles to a separation space between the internal electrode and the external electrode, in which the separation space, through which the aerosol particles are introduced into the particle classifying apparatus and flow, is formed to be narrowed toward a lower aerosol flow side from an upper aerosol flow side into which the aerosol particles are introduced.

A medical needle comprises a main body extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and a tip portion formed at the distal end of the body. The tip portion has a first inclined region, the cross-sectional area of which decreases toward the distal end and has a pair of surfaces inclined with an angle of 15&#xb0; to 20&#xb0;. The tip portion has a second inclined region extending from the first inclined region, the cross-sectional area of which decreases toward the distal end and has a pair of surfaces inclined with an angle of 30&#xb0; to 45&#xb0;. A tip is formed at the point of juncture of the pair of surfaces of the second inclined region. Tapered portions are formed on both sides of the first inclined region. Each tapered portion is inclined at an angle of 5&#xb0; to 15&#xb0;. Curved portions are formed at the points of juncture of the tip and the tapered portions.

A condensation particle counter is capable of efficiently measuring the number and size of fine particles. The condensation particle counter includes a saturator, a plurality of condensers and a plurality of optical particle counters. The saturator is designed to generate a saturated gas by saturating a gas in which fine particles are suspended with working fluid. The condensers are connected to a downstream side of the saturator to condense the saturated gas so that liquid droplets can grow around the fine particles. The optical particle counters are connected to downstream sides of the condensers to optically detect the liquid droplets supplied from the condensers. Each of the condensers has a condenser tube for interconnecting the saturator and each of the optical particle counters. The condenser tube is provided with a hydrophilic tube installed inside surface of the condenser tube.

An apparatus and method for manufacturing ultra-fine particles using an electrospray device is disclosed. One or more capillary provided at its tip with a nozzle is positioned within a guide duct and precursors such as metal organic materials and metal halogen compounds, or nonvolatile substances or volatile substances are supplied to the capillary. Voltages are applied to the capillary and the guide duct, respectively, so that a voltage difference is generated therebetween and the highly charged liquid droplets from the capillary are sprayed. The sprayed liquid droplets are carried along the guide duct together with carrier gas injected into the guide duct. When heat energy is applied to the liquid droplets, chemical reactions of the liquid droplets occur. A collecting plate positioned in front of the guide duct collects ultra-fine particles formed by the chemical reactions.

A device for collecting dust using highly charged hyperfine liquid droplets formed through an electro-hydrodynamic atomization process is disclosed. In the dust collecting device of this invention, a high voltage is applied to capillaries, set within a dust guide duct and having nozzles at their tips. An electric field is thus formed between the capillaries and the duct, and allows the nozzles to spray highly charged hyperfine liquid droplets. Such liquid droplets absorb dust laden in air, flowing in the duct by suction force of a fan. An electrostatic dust collector is detachably coupled to the duct while being insulated from the duct, and forms an electric field having polarity opposite to that of the highly charged liquid droplets, thus electrostatically collecting and removing the dust absorbed by the highly charged liquid droplets. The dust collecting device of this invention easily and effectively removes fine dust having a size smaller than 0.1 cm. This device is also preferably operable at low cost while achieving a desired dust collection effect, and is collaterally advantageous in that it humidifies discharged air, when water is used as the liquid for atomization of the hyperfine liquid droplets.
