Latest Patents
Jim Shinn holds a patent for a "Process and apparatus for obtaining samples of liquid and gas from soil." This invention features an apparatus designed to collect samples from subsurface soil effectively. The apparatus includes a filter zone adjacent to an external expander ring, which creates a void within the soil substrate. This design encourages the accumulation of soil-borne fluids, allowing them to migrate through a series of filters into a collection chamber. A one-way valve regulates the flow of fluid into a second chamber, facilitating the collection of samples at the surface. Additionally, a second one-way valve provides reverse flow for cleaning and back-flushing the apparatus.
