Moving bed adsorber and desorber apparatus and methods, wherein adsorbent material moves over a series of vane members and a fluid flow passes between the vane members and through the flowing bed of adsorbent. The frame is constructed so as to be convertible between a first configuration in which children can enter and play in a fully enclosed play area and a second configuration in which the play area is shaded, but open to the outside. A plurality of spools is packaged in a missile, bomb, or similar tubular device with an energetic bellows actuator between each spool. The holder, the first, the second, and the third motors are received in the receiving space. A carrier which includes a recessed region is secured to the first wafer layer such that said structure is suspended opposite the recessed region. A configuration bundle that includes configuration data, software revision level and a list of system updates is used to recover or duplicate a device’s operation state.
