Abstract: A water collection device includes a frame further comprising a first support adjacent to the first end, a second support adjacent to the second end, and a rail extending between the first support and the second support. The device includes a chassis moveably coupled to and configured to move along the rail of the frame. The device includes an actuator coupled to a portion of the chassis. The actuator is configured to initiate motion of the chassis along the rail. The device includes a wire comprising a shape memory alloy with a natural length extending between the first support of the frame and a portion of the chassis. Movement of the chassis along the rail changes the length of the wire from the natural length, which induces a temperature change in the wire such that water vapor in a surrounding atmosphere condenses on an outer surface of the wire.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for installing a liner material into a host conduit such as, e.g., a sewer pipe, hydrocarbon pipeline, gas line, water line, industrial chemical pipe, or a saltwater line. The liner material may include a compression liner and/or a preliner that is attached to the inner wall of the host conduit to repair or reinforce the host conduit or separate the host conduit from materials transported within the new liner formed from the liner material. Curable resin, slurry, or cement can be placed between the liner material and the host conduit to affix the liner material into place. Before and during curing, a fluid such as air or water can be used to inflate the compression liner outwardly toward the host conduit.
