This Multi-Port Scanner was designed for HIAC/ROYCO. It is used to sample air contaminates in multiple locations in clean room environments. Remote control and simplicity of design contributed to the success of this product.
	This pulse oximeter finger probe (Patent No. 5247931) was invented by Mark Norwood for Catalyst Research Corp. a division of Mine Safety Appliances. It incorporates a novel floating hinge and spring mechanism that allows the optical components to make secure contact with the finger of the patient without restricting blood flow and affecting the accuracy of the instrument.
This Automatic Bottle Sampler, the ABS2, was designed to replace an earlier instrument. Ease-of-use and automation of the sampling process were important to the success for this product designed for HIAC/ROYCO.
