  • Methods and apparatus for storing and delivering air to buildings
    Patent number: 6832952
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for enhancing the air quality in buildings during a chemical and/or biological attack and/or when the air quality around a building drops to unacceptable levels. Preferably, relatively non-contaminated (clean) air is stored in one or more clean air reservoirs. Once stored, the clean air is selectively delivered to buildings when a chemical and/or biological attack is detected, and/or when the air quality around a building drops to unacceptable levels.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 8, 2002
    Date of Patent: December 21, 2004
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.
    Inventors: Anthony E. Faltesek, Ronald H. Jiracek, Todd P. Carpenter
  • Method and apparatus for transporting air to buildings
    Publication number: 20030211826
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for enhancing the air quality in buildings during a chemical and/or biological attack and/or when the air quality around a building drops to unacceptable levels. Preferably, relatively uncontaminated (i.e. clean) air is retrieved from a remote location and transported to one or more buildings using, for example, a pipeline, a ship, a truck or any other suitable method. The air is provided to the one or more buildings to enhancing the air quality in the buildings during a chemical and/or biological attack and/or when the air quality around a building drops to unacceptable levels.

  • Corrosive environment monitor and methods regarding same
    Patent number: 6623616
    Abstract: A monitoring method and system to monitor an environment in which an object is located includes monitoring one or more environmental factors associated with corrosion of materials in the environment. Thereafter, an exposure index representative of cumulative exposure of the object to the one or more environmental factors is determined. For example, such environmental factors may include chloride ion concentration, pH level, humidity, and temperature.
