Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for transporting an environmentally sensitive material. An exemplary transport device includes a housing, a chamber exposed to a top surface of the housing, a lid configured to cover the vacuum chamber, and a biasing device configured to provide a force to the lid, such that the lid is forced away from covering the chamber.
Claims20
A transport device comprising:
- a housing;
- a chamber within the housing, the chamber being exposed to a top surface of the housing;
- a lid configured to cover the chamber;
- and
- a biasing device configured to provide a force to the lid, such that the lid is forced away from covering the chamber.

A system comprising:
- an environmentally controlled device;
- and
- a transport device configured to be received within the environmentally controlled device in a transport state, the transport device comprising:
- a housing;
- a chamber within the housing, the chamber being exposed to a top surface of the housing;
- a lid configured to cover the chamber;
- and
- a biasing device configured to provide a force to the lid, such that the lid is forced away from covering the chamber.
5 more elements
A method for transporting an environmentally sensitive material, the method comprising:
- loading the environmentally sensitive material into a transfer chamber;
- moving a lid with an opening biasing force into a closed position;
- reducing pressure within the transfer chamber to a first value capable of overcoming the opening biasing force;
- moving the transfer chamber to an environmentally controlled device;
- and
- reducing pressure within the environmentally controlled device to a second value to allow the opening biasing force to overcome the differential between the first value and the second value.
