A transport container is a transport container for transporting a biological component being a cell or a collection of cells, and includes an ion generation device configured to generate a discharge product inside the transport container by discharge.

Packaged food items, such as a fresh, ready to eat salad, comes in a container maintaining a substantially inert, low pressure atmosphere therein. The salad includes a salad dressing positioned lowermost in the container and a lettuce item positioned upper most in the container. Various additional food items are positioned within the container between the salad dressing and the lettuce item. The additional food items include pickled, raw or cooked vegetable items, grain or pasta items, protein items and cheese items. All of the food items are present in different measured proportions depending on the combination of items in the container. The additional food items are layered in a particular order also dependent upon the combination of items present in the container.

A protective case for a pearl comprises a wall defining a closed internal volume for containing a pearl when the case is closed. A first case part and a second case part each form a substantial wall portion of the wall of the case. The first and second case parts are adapted to be releasably closed together to define the closed internal volume of the case, and each of the first and second case parts is formed from a transparent material. An irreversible locking mechanism is adapted to lock the first and second parts together when closed and prevent the first and second parts from being opened, such that the locking mechanism must be broken to open the case. The locking mechanism is located inside the case and is visible through the transparent material of at least one of the first and second case parts so that a state of the locking mechanism is discernible from an outside of the case.

The present invention pertains to a device for controlling a gaseous mixture comprised in a portable enclosure as well as an enclosure comprising such device and a monitoring system comprising at least one corresponding enclosure. Accordingly, a device (1) for controlling a gaseous mixture (2) comprised in a portable enclosure (10) is suggested, which comprises a gas delivery device (3) for the delivery of at least one gaseous component (20, 22) to the gaseous mixture (2) and/or a gas removal device (4) for the removal of at least one gaseous component (20, 22) from the gaseous mixture (2), a gas monitor device (5) configured to detect at least one parameter (50) relating to the gaseous mixture (2), and a control unit (6) in communication with the gas monitor device (5) to receive the detected parameter and configured to determine an information (60) relating to the gaseous mixture (2) based on the received parameter (50). Furthermore, the control unit (6) is configured to actuate the gas delivery device (3) and/or the gas removal device (4) based on the determined information (60) to control the amount of the gaseous component (20, 22) in the gaseous mixture (2).

An environment control system utilizes oxygen and humidity control devices that are coupled with an enclosure to independently control the oxygen concentration and the humidity level within the enclosure. An oxygen depletion device may be an oxygen depletion electrolyzer cell that reacts with oxygen within the cell and produces water through electrochemical reactions. A desiccating device may be g, a dehumidification electrolyzer cell, a desiccator, a membrane desiccator or a condenser. A controller may control the amount of voltage and/or current provided to the oxygen depletion electrolyzer cell and therefore the rate of oxygen reduction and may control the amount of voltage and/or current provided to the dehumidification electrolyzer cell and therefore the rate of humidity reduction. The oxygen level may be determined by the measurement of voltage and a limiting current of the oxygen depletion electrolyzer cell. The enclosure may be a food or artifact enclosure.

A container includes a container body and an air processing system. The container body includes a plurality of walls defining an interior space for receiving wafers. The air processing system is attached to the container body. The air processing system includes an exchange module, an air extraction module, a first contaminant removal module, a processing module, a second contaminant removal module, a controller module and a power module. The exchange module is coupled to one of the walls of the container body. The air extraction module extracts air from the container body. The first contaminant removal module is coupled to the air extraction module and the exchange module. The processing module is coupled to the air extraction module. The second contaminant removal module is coupled to the processing module and the exchange module. The controller module is configured to turn the air extraction module on and off.

A storage device composed of a chamber with an interior volume configured to receive media in fluid connection with a storage valve configured to selectively control the flow of media and ambient atmosphere, the storage valve in fluid communication with a dock configured to sealingly engage with an additional storage device. The dock configured to facilitate the passage of media without exposure to an ambient atmosphere.

A method for manufacturing a lithium hydroxide powder includes a pulverizing step of pulverizing coarse particles of lithium hydroxide to obtain lithium hydroxide powder; and a carbonation-suppressing step of storing the lithium hydroxide powder in an airtight container in an atmosphere satisfying requirements (1) and (2).

(1) A partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas is 100 Pa or less with respect to a total amount of gas present in the airtight container.

(2) A relative humidity in the airtight container is 60% or less.

A filter for a vent opening of a container comprises a filter element and a flange which surrounds the filter element. The filter element and the flange are integrated by means of an injection molding process, in which material is injected against a solid filter element in a mold, from which material the flange arises after curing. The filter element has an edge portion which extends in its circumferential direction. The edge portion has a front side, a back side and a side edge extending between the front side and the back side. The back side is covered the flange and the side edge in circumferential direction of the edge portion is alternatingly entirely and partly covered from the back side by the material of the flange. At the locations where the side edge is entirely covered the front side is also covered by the material of the flange.
