Earring supporting device

A controller for use in a system employing selective permeable membrane technology to maintain a controlled atmosphere within a refrigerated container. The controller is electrically interfaced to an oxygen and carbon dioxide sensing device which is disposed within the container and capable of withstanding severe enviromental conditions to measure the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the container. The controller maintains present levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the container and is adapted to calibrate the carbon dioxide and oxygen sensing devices as well as check for proper operation of the sensing devices and default to safety conditions when a failure is detected. The controller is further adapted to control the atmosphere maintenance system in a manner adapted not to increase the peak power requirements of the system.

Oxygen/carbon dioxide sensor and controller for a refrigerated

A controller for use in a system employing selective permeable membrane technology to maintain a controlled atmosphere within a refrigerated container. The controller is electrically interfaced to an oxygen and carbon dioxide sensing device which is disposed within the container and capable of withstanding severe environmental conditions to measure the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the container. The controller maintains preset levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the container and is adapted to calibrate the carbon dioxide and oxygen sensing devices as well as check for proper operation of the sensing devices and default to safety conditions when a failure is detected. The controller is further adapted to control the atmosphere maintenance system in a manner adapted not to increase the peak power requirements of the system.

The present invention is a device for maintaining a controlled atmosphere within a sealed container. The device is utilized to control the oxygen and the carbon dioxide levels within the container and utilizes permeable membrane technology to control such levels. An oilless compressor is used in conjunction with the device so as to not subject the permeable membranes to the derogatory effects associated with the presence of oil within an airstream that circulates through the permeable membranes. Additionally, the compressor is preferably mounted within the sealed container so as to not subject the compressor to the effects of temperature variation and corrosive marine environments. The present device further includes an air sampling system which is used to periodically measure the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels within the container. Control logic is included with the system which is operable to adjust the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in accordance with the particular readings obtained by the sampling system.

Controlled atmosphere storage container

A pneumatic detector, non-dispersive infrared analyzer employing detector cell chambers in optical series. The invention having an auxiliary chamber communicating with the front chamber to increase the rear chamber's signal so as to balance the signals from the front and rear chambers. The use of xenon as a diluent gas in the detector chambers in combination with a mass flow detector to improve the sensitivity. The use of an improved synchronous detection method employing a voltage-to-frequency circuit to convert the detector signal to a synchronous high resolution digital signal. The use of an improved source electrically pulsed having low thermal mass and a large radiating area.
