  • Apparatus for removing moisture from an environment
    Patent number: 5575835
    Abstract: An electrically powered dehumidifier is provided which has no moving mechanical parts. The dehumidifier employs convection of a deliquescent solution around a fluid circuit having vapor permeable windows. The apparatus is driven by a solid state electronic heat pump, such as a Peltier effect solid-state heat pump, for example.

  • Clean surface conveyor with flexible sheath
    Patent number: 5242046
    Abstract: A mechanical conveyor system is provided with an exposed flexible membrane surface for use in clean room environments. The conveyor system may be one of varied subassemblies which transfer articles on the conveyor by small orbital motions. The exposed flexible sheath is preferably a membrane which is permeable to air. The system may provide for air flow through the membrane to ensure a clean environment. A preferred flexible membrane is expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.

  • Soil-gas sampling apparatus
    Patent number: 5235863
    Abstract: Apparatus for soil-gas sampling comprising one or more passive vapor collectors enclosed within a liquid water penetration resistant vapor-permeable container to which means for easy in-ground insertion and retrieval is attached. The apparatus provides protection from water, dirt and mechanical damage to the vapor collector(s) during the insertion, sampling and removal steps and permits retrieval of the container from its in-ground location without the efforts and risks associated with excavation.

  • Air-stream sampling device
    Patent number: 4860598
    Abstract: A device for drawing a small representative sample of air from a laminar flow air stream, such as that flowing through a clean room, is provided, which comprises a gridwork of evenly-spaced tubes having regularly spaced orifices to sample representatively a laminar flow stream of air to determine the number of particles therein. The gridwork of tubes is sized and configured to leave the laminar flow of the air stream substantially undisturbed.
