Patent number: 12492694Abstract: An air sampling pump includes a reciprocating piston for operating a diaphragm assembly. The diaphragm includes a valve head including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and a fluid chamber defining a fluid path between the inlet and outlet. A diaphragm sealing engages the valve head and encloses the fluid chamber. The diaphragm includes a piston diaphragm membrane portion coupled to the piston for reciprocating with the piston and reciprocation of the piston causes a change in air pressure within the fluid chamber to cause air to move from the fluid inlet toward the fluid outlet. The diaphragm includes a damper membrane portion, which cooperate to reduce an amplitude of pulsation in the airflow at the fluid inlet and fluid outlet.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2022Date of Patent: December 9, 2025Assignee: Casella Holdings LimitedInventors: Brandon Trainer, Steve Tearle, Aamir Qureshi

Patent number: 12439190Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2021Date of Patent: October 7, 2025Assignee: Casella Holdings LimitedInventors: Aamir Qureshi, Brandon Trainer, Andy Mitham

Publication number: 20240094096Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2020Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Brandon Trainer, Aamir Qureshi, Andy Mitham

Patent number: 10774825Abstract: A personal air sampling pump assembly includes a motor having a reciprocating piston for operating a diaphragm assembly. The diaphragm includes a valve head including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and a fluid chamber defining a fluid path between the inlet and outlet. A first and second diaphragm sealing engaging the valve head and enclosing the fluid chamber. The first diaphragm includes a piston diaphragm membrane portion coupled to the piston for reciprocating with the piston and wherein reciprocation of the piston causes a change in air pressure within the fluid chamber to cause air to move from the fluid inlet toward the fluid outlet. Both the first and second diaphragms include a damper membrane portion, which cooperate to reduce an amplitude of pulsation in the airflow at the fluid inlet and fluid outlet.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2016Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: IDEAL Industries, Inc.Inventors: Brandon Trainer, Steve Tearle, Aamir Qureshi
