A poultry raising system includes: an imaging unit configured to capture an image of an inside of a poultry house; and a monitoring unit configured to determine a variation in density of chickens present in a particular region in the image captured by the imaging unit, and monitor the variation determined. The particular region is at least part of the image.

Poultry raising system, poultry raising method, and recording medium

A microorganism-collecting chip, for efficiently collecting microorganisms from a test sample and accurately detecting and quantifying the collected microorganisms, comprises a filter for removing contaminants and a filter for trapping microorganisms. A microorganism-collecting kit comprises the foregoing microorganism-collecting chip and a suction filtration unit, which may be a negative pressure tube provided at an opening with a rubber stopper. The microorganism-collecting chip has a liquid specimen injection container for injecting a liquid specimen and a hollow needle capable of penetrating the rubber stopper mounted at the opening of the negative pressure tube. The liquid specimen injected into the liquid specimen injection container is suction-filtered with a pressure of the negative pressure tube. Contaminants are removed with the filter for removing contaminants, and microorganisms are trapped on a filter for collecting microorganisms. The microorganisms trapped on the filter for collecting microorganisms are then detected and quantified by using a unit including the filter for collecting microorganisms.

Device for calibrating a microorganism quantifying apparatus

A dust is electrostatically charged using an ion-releasing device adapted to release only ionized air with occurrence of a corona discharge, thereby reducing the amount of power consumed and the amount of ozone generated to the utmost. An electric dust collector includes a charging section having a discharging electrode and an earthed electrode, a dust-collecting section having a voltage-applied electrode and an earthed electrode and an air feed fan. Dust introduced into the dust collector is electrostatically charged by breaking the air insulation by a corona discharge occurring in the charging section to produce ionized air and then removed in the dust-collecting section where an electric field is formed. However, because the corona discharge is generated, there is a problem that the discharged current is large, and the amount of power consumed and the amount of ozone generated are large.

Dust collecting apparatus and air-conditioning apparatus

The present invention provides for an antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral filter comprising in laminations a dust collecting filter and a filter impregnated with a tea extract. The filter having nonwoven fabric is impregnated with a polyphenol tea extract, which can be easily produced commercially and is capable of maintaining a high virus trapping performance, inactivating the trapped viruses and preventing them from being rescattered.

Gargling cup, antiviral mask, antiviral filter, antifungal,

The present invention provides a medicated gargling cup with which it is possible to form a liquid for gargling effective for preventing cold by merely pouring water into the cup; an antiviral mask having a nonwoven fabric impregnated with a tea extract, which mask can be easily produced commercially and is capable of maintaining a high virus trapping performance, inactivating the trapped viruses and preventing them from being rescattered; an antiviral filter and an antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral filter comprising in laminations a dust collecting filter and a filter impregnated with a tea extract; an air cleaner and an air cleaner-humidifier comprising the antiviral filter.
