Patent number: 12078764Abstract: A wearable radon detector is an apparatus that measures radon exposure around a user. The apparatus includes a housing, an elongated plate, and a radon-detecting foil strip. The housing contains the elongated plate and the radon-detecting foil strip. The elongated plate positions and maneuvers the radon-detecting foil strip. The housing includes a receptacle portion, a storage portion, a first breakaway line, a plate-receiving slot, and a plurality of air passages. The elongated plate includes a grasping member, a setting member, and a second breakaway line. Radon collects within the receptacle portion through the plurality of air passages. The storage portion shields the radon-detecting foil strip once setting member has been slid from the receptacle portion and into the storage portion, the receptacle portion has been separated from storage portion along the first breakaway line, and the grasping member has been separated from the setting member along the second breakaway line.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2023Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Spruce Environmental Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mark David Fearis, John Patrick DeChristopher

Patent number: 11513017Abstract: A system and method of analyzing duct pressure within a pipe monitors and detects vacuum pressure of gases. The system includes a pressure monitor and a target duct. The pressure monitor preferably includes an alarm light, a speaker, a sensing light, a service light, and a battery alert. The method begins by periodically capturing a plurality of pressure readings inside the target duct with the pressure monitor. Each pressure reading is timestamped with the pressure monitor. Each pressure reading is compared to each situational alert with the pressure monitor to identify at least one matching alert for at least one specific reading. The matching alert is from the plurality of situational alerts. The specific reading is from the plurality of pressure readings. The matching alert is visually and/or audibly outputted with the pressure monitor, if the matching alert is identified for the specific reading.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: SPRUCE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Mark Fearis, Paul Owens
