Abstract: A compressor control module for use with a pressurization system having a strain gauge transducer and a compressor. The compressor control module includes variable voltage references associated with low and high pressure limits, comparator circuits configured to compare the voltage from the strain gauge pressure transducer to the variable voltage references, a control logic circuit configured to logically combine signals from the comparator circuits, and a relay circuit configured to apply power to the compressor.

Abstract: A pressure equalization apparatus for decreasing or eliminating the pressure differential between the internal pressure within a sealed system and the external ambient air pressure while concurrently sustaining a dry atmosphere inside the enclosure. The apparatus includes a variable volume chamber coupled in fluid communication with the sealed system and adapted to change its volume as in relation to the pressurization of the sealed system. Gas flowing between the sealed system and the variable volume chamber, as the pressurization changes, is exposed to an adsorbent operative for dehumidifying the exchanged gas.

Abstract: A system configured to deliver dry pressurized air, derived from ambient air, to underground or outdoor cables, conduit, waveguides, plenums or other air spaces for the purpose of preventing the ingress of moisture or contamination. The system includes a housing and a modular membrane pressurization unit removably received within an interior space of the housing. The housing has a base configured for being at least partially buried below ground level and an air intake above ground level. The modular membrane pressurization unit intakes humid ambient air from the environment surrounding the housing and generates a continuous supply of dry pressurized air housing that is routed to the underground air space.

Abstract: In the present invention, a method of programming a task by different programmers for operation by computers is disclosed. The task is divided into a plurality of processes with each process being programmed by a different programmer. A plurality of unique objects is defined for each process. One or more phantom objects are created in a process for use by that process (calling process), wherein upon access by the calling process, the phantom object communicates with the process (called process) having the defined object associated with the phantom object. The defined object is then accessed by the called process and the result is communicated back to the phantom object to the calling process.
