Latest Patents
Stuempfle's latest patents include a "Sample heater assembly and method of use thereof." This invention describes a sample heater assembly that enhances the detection of low volatility agents by existing chemical agent detectors. Traditional detectors often struggle to accurately identify low volatility agents, such as the chemical warfare agent VX. The sample heater assembly addresses this limitation by heating low volatility agents to vaporization, allowing for effective interfacing with the chemical agent detector. The assembly consists of a sample containment reservoir for holding the low volatility agent sample, which can be attached to the detector, and a heating element that facilitates the heating process.
Another significant patent is the "Method and apparatus for protecting crops from frost by jet-dispersed." This invention includes an apparatus designed to protect plants from frost using a jet turbine engine. The engine injects a first liquid and a second liquid into its exhaust stream, creating an aerosol that is dispersed around the plants. This mist acts as a protective radiation barrier, safeguarding the plants from frost damage.
