Abstract: A microphone assembly includes a housing defining an acoustic cavity having a sound inlet for transmitting a sound in to the acoustic cavity. A micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) microphone is located at least partially within the housing adjacent the acoustic cavity. The MEMS microphone includes a microphone aperture acoustically coupled with the aperture of the housing. An acoustic vent is located adjacent the microphone aperture to substantially allow sound to pass through the acoustic vent while substantially preventing a foreign contaminant from entering the microphone aperture.

Abstract: A stackable environmental air sampling pump includes an external housing, an air pump inside the external housing, and a telescopic mast attached to the housing and configured to extend from the external housing. The external housing includes a recessed portion configured to receive a flexible tubing wrapped around the recessed portion and a handle on a first side of the external housing. The external housing further includes a first interlocking feature of a first type on a second side of the external housing, wherein the first interlocking feature is configured to connect to an interlocking feature of a second type. The external housing further includes a second interlocking feature of the second type on a third side of the external housing, wherein the second interlocking feature is configured to connect to an interlocking feature of the first type.
