A dispensing apparatus and method are disclosed for dispensing sheet material from at least one roll of the sheet material. Dispensing is transferred from a stub roll to a reserve roll automatically in response to sensing a predetermined quantity of the stub roll. An isolating element is provided to lift the reserve roll out of contact with dispensing rollers during dispensing of sheet material from the stub roll, and a nipping element is provided to nip sheet material of the reserve roll when dispensing is transferred from the stub roll to the reserve roll. A cam controls movement of both the isolating element and the nipping element. Structure is also provided for sensing the diameter of the reserve roll of sheet material and providing an indication when the reserve roll is a predetermined diameter. The dispenser is quiet and capacity efficient.

A system and corresponding methods for purifying and removing contaminants from gaseous fluids includes a housing including an inlet, an outlet, and an elongated UV chamber disposed within the housing. The UV radiation source is disposed longitudinally within the UV chamber. At least one baffle structure is disposed at an upstream location within the housing to restrict flow as well as to generate a turbulent flow of the gaseous fluid within the UV chamber. In addition, a fan is disposed at a selected location within the housing to facilitate a flow of the gaseous fluid through the housing at a selected flow rate. The dimensions of the UV chamber and UV source and the configuration of the baffle structure are selected to increase the exposure time and mixing of fluid flowing through the UV chamber as well as increase the proximity of the flowing fluid to the UV source.
