Abstract: This invention is directed to a water generating apparatus for extracting water from ambient air. The apparatus provides a condensing surface which is maintained during the operation of the apparatus at a temperature which is below the dew point of the ambient air. The presence of contaminants within the extracted water are reduced by filtering the ambient air prior to its processing by the apparatus and subsequently filtering the condensate. The apparatus is constructed from components which produce minimal particulate matter. The use of such components minimizes the likelihood of those components contributing to the contamination of the water generated from the apparatus. Bacteriological contamination in the condensed water is reduced by constructing the apparatus from components that retard bacteria growth. Further diminution of bacterial growth is achieved by maintaining a continuous flow of water condensate through the apparatus.

Abstract: A display device for displaying sheet-like materials from opposite sides of the device comprises two planar panels. Each of the panels are made of a transparent material, and the two panels are hinged together along respective, corresponding side edges thereof. The panels can thus be moved from a first position in which the panels lie substantially side-by-side to a second position in which the panels pivot about a hinge axis of the hinged sides of the panels to fan apart in a manner similar to adjacent pages of a book. Strips of hook and pile attachment materials are adhered to facing edges of the panels so that when the panels are in their first position, the strips of hook and pile attachment materials engage each other along the mutually respective side edges of the panels to firmly hold the panels in their side-by-side, overlying position.
