Abstract: Disclosed herein are volatile organic compound monitoring or detection systems and methods, including systems having both a reference air intake component and at least one air sample intake line. In certain embodiments, the systems provide for continuously repeating cycles of testing and calibration/recalibration. Further implementations relate to systems having two or more intake lines that can be positioned to take air samples at distances ranging from 5 feet to 200 feet or more apart.

Abstract: A liquid phase separator assembly permits the separation of a high pressure gas phase from a liquid phase through a controlled expansion of the gas phase with the successful agglomeration and separation of the liquid phase all within a single unit. This complete separation of the gas phase facilitates the removal of the gas by venting. The complete separation of the liquid phase optimizes the solvent recovery/cleaning by processing the liquid phase through an engineered media. The liquid phase separator assembly incorporates an internal chamber for decompression and separation as well as for containing a media for purifying the liquid phase, thus reducing overall cost and complexity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a liquid delivery system for a race vehicle to provide the driver of the race vehicle with readily available cool fluids are disclosed. One embodiment is directed to an insulated bag mounted in the race vehicle having a collapsible fluid bladder and a cooling medium within the bag. Tubing connects the bladder to a valve for the driver to drink from. Preferably, a pump is coupled to the tubing to move fluid through the system.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for evaluating the integrity of a seal on liquid-filled container. According to one aspect of the invention, the apparatus comprises a tank for containing a liquid solution and a clamp with a first and second member between which the container is engaged. The clamp is positioned with respect to the tank such that a portion of the container properly situated in the clamp will extend into the tank and contact the liquid solution. A ram and cylinder are operatively connected to the clamp to engage the container. A seat is provided to support a portion of the container such that at least a portion of the container supported by the seat will extend into the tank. A drill is provided to pierce a surface of the container to make an opening. The drill is positioned such that the opening can be made while the container is in the clamp and/or the seat such that at least a portion of the container extends into the tank.
