Temperature, humidity logger
The sGo software for Palm OS enables users to take real-time readings and download the company's Spectrum data loggers using a Palm handheld. A typical Palm handheld can download dozens of data logger files, reducing collection time for those working with multiple field-mounted loggers. Data files are transferred to a PC during the normal Palm HotSync operation. Once on the PC, files can be analyzed, graphed and printed using the standard Veriteq Spectrum software. The software enables the user to view temperature, humidity, voltage and current readings in real-time, without interrupting the data logging in the process. The software also has the ability to setup and name each data logger while at the desired monitoring location. Other parameters that can be set with the software include sample frequency, start-time and channel selection.

Escape hood
The DefendAir provides users with an effective filtering protection from tear gas and other atmospheres requiring a P100 particle filter and has received NIOSH government approval. The hood, with an integrated filter, is designed to offer users 15 minutes of escape from nuclear, biological and chemical warfare agents that may be encountered by first responders, law enforcement or emergency response personnel. According to the company, the hood can be put on in less than 10 seconds and is effective against filtering biological agents such as anthrax, sarin and mustard gas. The hood includes a clear, anti-fogging visor for unobstructed vision and an integrated nose cup that removes exhaled air containing carbon dioxide. It has adjustable straps to secure the hood to the user's head.

Vibration isolation
The Q-Damp is designed for use with the company's Gimbal piston air vibration isolation tables and is ideal for electrophysiology research, metrology tools, AFMs and optical microscope-based tools. The Q-Damp works by sensing residual vibration on the isolated surface in the vertical direction. The information is processed using a patented technology and drives the compact electromagnetics, which mount to the underside of the table top. An opposing magnet mounts to the table's tiebars. The restoring force provides three degrees of freedom vibration cancellation and up to 12 dB of isolation at 2 Hz, the resonant frequency of the passive system.
