An automated ambient air sampling system and method for monitoring organic compounds that may provide continuous data, the system including a thermal desorption system, an injection port, a pre-concentration system, a gas chromatograph and an ion trap mass spectrometer, wherein an air sampling chamber may also function as a thermal desorption chamber.

Autonomous ambient air sampling system for monitoring semi-volatile/non-volatile organic compounds

A slain animal transporting device has a series of elongated flexible members each having a slip knot at one end to snugly secure about any variety of body parts of a slain animal, and a user loop at an opposite end which, depending upon the terrain and thus most efficient angle of pull, directly attaches to a wrist, torso or shoulder of at least one user/sportsman. When the user loop is strapped about the wrist, the angle of pull is relatively low which is ideal for smooth terrain. When the user loop is strapped about the torso or shoulder of the sportsman, the angle of pull is greater and thus more ideal for rough terrain such as dense wooded areas. The elongated flexible members are easily coiled for compact storage thus providing easy transportation amongst the portable gear of the mobile sportsman. The straps can be arranged in parallel, enabling multiple sportsmen to drag a single slain animal, or, any number of straps can be slip knotted end-to-end to create a single and extra long transporting device. Moreover, multiple straps can be provided as a set having varying lengths and sizes to meet the demands of different wilderness terrains, and game sizes and types.

Slain animal transporting device and method of use

A cover assembly including a frame and a lid for placement over the open top of a container. The frame has a circumferential side which fits snugly around the sides of the open container and a relatively short inwardly extending lip along its upper edge to support the frame on the rim of the container. The lip has an inner edge defining an access opening. A portion of the inner edge is set back away from the inside surface of the container so the lip at such portion does not interfere with removal of the contents. A lid, supported by a recessed lid sealing surface on the lip, covers the access opening. The container is typically a rectangular cardboard box having flaps folded up and back down along the sides of the box. The box typically contains a product in a plastic bag conforming to the interior of the box. The bag is sufficiently tall so that the bag opening can be drawn out and cover the downwardly folded flaps. The frame is placed over the open top of the box so that the sides of the frame lie snugly against the outwardly and downwardly folded bag and flaps. Convenient access to the product is thereby achieved.
