  • Publication number: 20240344718
    Abstract: A humidity reduction apparatus and a method for reducing the humidity of a volume of gas. The humidity reduction apparatus comprises a gas delivery conduit, at least one heat-conductive media positioned in-line within at least a portion of the gas delivery conduit, and a cooler in contact with at least a portion of the gas delivery conduit to cool the gas delivery conduit and the at least one heat-conductive media. The gas delivery conduit comprises at least one conducting portion. The first side of the cooler is configured to cool the at least one conducting portion of the gas delivery conduit and the at least one heat-conductive media. The voltage applied across the cooler is selectably reversed such that the first side heats the at least one conducting portion of the gas delivery conduit and the at least one heat-conductive media.

  • Patent number: 11193909
    Abstract: A photoionization detector is disclosed. The photoionization detector comprises a detector electrode that outputs a signal, an ultraviolet lamp, a lamp driver communicatively coupled to the ultraviolet lamp and configured to turn the ultraviolet lamp on and off in response to a control input, and a controller that is communicatively coupled to the output signal of the detector electrode and to the control input of the lamp driver, that outputs an indication of gas detection based on the output signal of the detector electrode, and that turns the lamp driver on and off with an on duty cycle of less than 10%.

  • Patent number: 9756896
    Abstract: A locating and tracking system includes shoes, which carry a wireless module. A user walking the area causes clicking or intermittent energizing of a transmitter carried in the module. The transmitter communicates with a plurality of fixed wireless access points, to provide the position and tracking for persons in the area.

  • Patent number: 9459612
    Abstract: Disclosed are a movable device allowing instantaneous correction of error in a moving state and an error correction method thereof. The movable device includes a drive unit that is previously set up with an allowable error and has a moving path along which detection units are installed in a line. Precise measurements are taken in advance to obtain position data of each of the detection units. Comparison is then made by the controller between instantaneous data and corresponding comparison data. When the controller determines the instantaneous data exceed the comparison data, an instantaneous correction operation is made to make the instantaneous data not exceeding the comparison data. Acceleration or deceleration may be made by the drive unit to effect such a control that when the movable piece reaches the next detection unit, the instantaneous data do not exceed the comparison data.
