Patents by Inventor Joan M. Daisey

Joan M. Daisey has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6780818
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a quantitative organic vapor-particle sampler which can efficiently sample both semi-volatile organic gases and particulate components through the use of a unique sorbent resin coating and process. The sampler of the present invention comprises in its broadest aspect a tubular device having an inlet at one end through which organic vapor/particles are introduced, an outlet at the other end through which gases exit, at least one annular denuder interposed there between which is coated on the inside surface of the annulus with a specially prepared resin absorbent, which selectively absorbs organic vapors contained in the gases introduced into the inlet, and a filter which traps and collects particles.

  • Patent number: 6226852
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a quantitative organic vapor-particle sampler for efficient sampling, detection and quantitation of semi-volatile organic gases, vapors and particulate components. The sampler comprises a diffusion chamber and at least one annular denuder of which surface is coated with a macroreticular resin agglomerates which selectively absorbs organic gases, vapors or particulate matter present in tested samples.

  • Patent number: 5763360
    Abstract: A quantitative organic vapor-particle sampler for sampling semi-volatile organic gases and particulate components. A semi-volatile organic reversible gas sorbent macroreticular resin agglomerates of randomly packed microspheres with the continuous porous structure of particles ranging in size between 0.05-10 .mu.m for use in an integrated diffusion vapor-particle sampler.
