  • Publication number: 20240002255
    Abstract: A water treatment system for supplying water for use in humidifying a chamber. A system piping circuit carries water with a desired H2O2 concentration and comprises a plurality of controllable valves to determine water flow paths through the piping circuit, thereby subjecting the water to one or more treatment processes. A holding reservoir receives intake water from one or more water sources and also receives H2O2. A pump is activated by a control system to supply the H2O2 from a source into the holding reservoir. The control system activates the pump according to a predetermined schedule or according to a measured concentration of H2O2 in the piping circuit, as measured by certain system sensors. An H2O2 neutralizing device neutralizes the H2O2 in the water prior to supplying the water to humidification components to humidify the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20230416116
    Abstract: A system for providing conditioned water. A holding reservoir receives intake water, of unknown quality, from a water source and a pump pressurizes the system. Water flow paths through the system are controller by opening and closing a plurality of controllable valves. A sensor measures the water quality of the water in the holding reservoir and produces a signal representative of the measured water quality. A microprocessor receives the signal, compares the measured water quality with a desired water quality range, and produces conditioned water by controlling valves to deionize the water or to ionize the water, as needed. An output valve controls outflow of the conditioned water to a humidification or environmental chamber for humidifying the chamber.

  • Patent number: 11150014
    Abstract: An insulated chamber having an interior region for storing items therein includes a phase change material to facilitate controlling the temperature of the interior region and the items. A heating device or cooling device may be used to melt or freeze the phase change material. The phase change material (PCM) may be in various locations such as the walls of the chamber in the form of packets or in the form of containers that serve as shelves and may be removable from the interior region. The packets may have recesses for receiving the items. The phase change material may be within capsules that may be within a liquid or a solid matrix. Controls may be provided to control humidity, oxygen, and carbon dioxide within the interior chamber.

  • Publication number: 20110291537
    Abstract: A storage box for articles that includes a base defining a chamber therein and a door that engages the base and is movable between an open position where the chamber can be accessed and a closed position where access is prevented. A locking mechanism prevents unauthorized opening of the door. A securement assembly is provided on an interior wall of the base to retain articles in predetermined positions. The assembly includes a first member that is fixedly secured to the interior wall and one or more second members that are each releasably engageable with the first member. The second members include various types of article engaging mechanisms so as to retain different types of articles and are able to be moved on the first member to create different article storing configurations within the box.
