An Airborne Elevator Apparatus capable of deploying at the same time multiple service loads at different altitudes in the Earth's atmosphere by physically separating tether weight carrier function from the service load weight carrier function of a common aerostat. The tether weight carrier function is performed by at least one airborne canopy assembly () filled with lighter than air gas, which has enough lifting power to support its own weight and the weight of the attached airborne cables (). The service load carrier function is performed by several airborne booster assemblies (). Designed to glide on the apparatus's airborne cables (), an airborne booster assembly () filled with lighter than air gas has enough lifting power to carry its own weight and the weight of a service load at altitudes below the uppermost canopy. For stability purposes, the apparatus is designed to rotate around its vertical axis.

An aquatic-based algae production apparatus employing a microalgae production support assembly () and a cluster of six floating, closed loop, flatbed, CO/Ogas-permeable, photo-bioreactors, offering an economical solution for microalgae industrial production. The apparatus's bioreactors are submerged in the proximity of the water surface mark () for maximum light exposure and for CO/Ocontinue diffusion. A microalgae processing and control assembly () is monitoring the algae growth for each photo-bioreactor in the cluster, and is cyclically harvesting the microalgae. After harvesting the microalgae are transferred into a submerged variable-volume microalgae storage tank (). Solar photovoltaic panels () and () are supplying the energy required for the operation of the apparatus. Swivel electrical propellers () attached to the bottom of the apparatus protective outer barrier () are controlling the apparatus's water deployment.

An atmospheric inversion layer de-stabilizer apparatus is using the energy of the water vapor present in the earth's atmosphere to destabilize an atmospheric inversion layer, as a way and to disperse the air pollutants concentrated below the inversion layer, in time to prevent photochemical reactions and smog formation. The apparatus may also be used to alleviate frost, disperse fog, and control the atmosphere's composition above of a limited geographic area. The apparatus is using a ring balloon (26) filled with lighter than air gas, to elevate vertically in the atmosphere an air transport shuttle (42), and a control platform (122) to control the altitude and the ascending and descending speed of the air transport shuttle (42) via a vertical cable (102) attached to the air transport shuttle (42) and wound on a motorized reel (146).

A microclimate control apparatus utilizing the water vapor present in the earth's atmosphere as a natural energy source for promoting vertical air movement inside the apparatus, to gather, transport and distribute condensed water. The apparatus is positioned in the air using a proportional suspending system and a balloon enclosure (24) that suspends a tubular sleeve (53) containing water condensation surfaces within, and a hollow, convective lifting column (72) held in the atmosphere by circular ring balloons (106) positioned along the height of the apparatus, its altitude being controlled by a vertical cable (42) wound on a motorized reel (46) attached to the ground. The apparatus' water condenser (54) generates and maintains condensation conditions for the water present in the ascending air stream, promoting convective air movement inside the apparatus.

A head tending media for cleaning the print head of an ink jet printer. The head tend media having a portion of absorbent material attached to a backing material and being dimensioned to be fed through the normal print media feed mechanism of the printer. The absorbent material being positioned such that it is brought into contact with, and wipes the print head as the head tending media is advanced through the printer.

An environmentally controlled portable toilet designed to neutralize and confine contaminating agents such as bacteria, odors, vapors and other airborne particles inside the bowl by generating and maintaining a cyclone-type air circulation inside the bowl-structure. A circular shaped bowl-structure (170) with a circular air-trapping cavity created inside the bowl-structure (170) by a seat-skirt (188), confines the contaminating agents during toilet use and improves the efficiency of the air circulation. A removable air-cooling tray 134, and sanitizer and odor conditioner cartridges (131) are employed to cool the air moving inside the air-trapping cavity, and respectively, to neutralize the contaminating agents by releasing sanitizing and odor conditioning agents into the air flow circulated inside the bowl (170). A toilet seat (182) having an ergonomic design has a seat-skirt (188). The invention is applicable to portable toilet systems including children's training toilets.

An environmentally controlled toilet designed to neutralize and confine contaminating agents such as bacteria, odors, vapors and other airborne particles inside the bowl by generating and maintaining a cyclone-type air circulation inside the bowl. A bowl (70) with a housing (20), and an air-trapping cavity (76) created inside the bowl (70) by a bowl-skirt (73), confines the contaminating agents during toilet use and improves the efficiency of the air circulation. Sanitizer and odor conditioner cartridges (31) are employed to neutralize the contaminating agents by releasing sanitizing and odor conditioning agents into the air flow circulated inside the bowl (70). A toilet seat (82) having an ergonomic design has a protective skirt (87) that accommodates a hygienic-shield (100). A solution to body heat loss and noise contamination during toilet use is also addressed. The invention is retrofitable to existing toilets, and is applicable to portable toilet systems including children's training toilets.

An environmentally controlled standard toilet designed to neutralize and confine contaminating agents such as bacteria, odors, vapors and other airborne particles inside the bowl by generating and maintaining a cyclone-type air circulation inside the existing bowl. A standard toilet bowl (70a) with a housing (20a), and an air-trapping cavity (88b) created inside the bowl (70a), by a seat (82b) having a seat-skirt (87b), confines the contaminating agents during toilet use and improves the efficiency of the air circulation. Sanitizer and odor conditioner cartridges are employed to neutralize the contaminating agents by releasing sanitizing and odor conditioning agents into the air flow circulated inside the bowl (70a). This invention is retrofitable to existing standard toilet bowls.
