Provided is a mask apparatus. The mask apparatus includes a mask body in which a microphone and a speaker are installed, a face guard coupled to a rear surface of the rear body so as to be in close contact with a user's face and having a breathing space therein, a pressure sensor installed in the mask body to measure a pressure of the breathing space, and a controller configured to compare a current pressure value measured by the pressure sensor to a reference pressure value and control a voice output of the speaker based on a difference between the current pressure value and the reference pressure value.

Provided is a mask apparatus. The mask apparatus includes a mask body in which a fan module is provided, a face guard coupled to a rear surface of the rear body so as to be in close contact with user's face and having a breathing space therein, a pressure sensor installed in the mask body to measure a pressure of the breathing space, and a controller configured to compare a current pressure value measured by the pressure sensor to a preset atmospheric pressure estimation, update the atmospheric pressure estimation based on a difference between the current pressure value and the atmospheric pressure estimation, and control a rotation speed of the fan module based on a difference between the updated atmospheric pressure estimation and the current pressure value.

The invention relates to a modular, portable, air purifier device capable of supplying filtered or otherwise conditioned airflow to an individual. More specifically, the present invention provides an air purification system that allows for the remote detection and analysis of local ambient air quality and transmit that information to wirelessly connected devices.

Embodiments relate generally to respirator face masks, and specifically to powered face masks which may be custom-controllable to better provide for the specific air needs of the individual user wearing the mask. For example, the face mask embodiments typically include a filter and a motorized fan, both generally located on the face mask itself, along with a processor. The processor then may use inputs, for example specific to the user and/or the environment, to control the fan speed. Thus, the fan speed of the face mask may be custom controlled to provide the appropriate amount of filtered air as the specific user needs it.

There is provided a system having an electronic device powered by at least one battery, a controller communicably coupled to at least one battery, wherein the controller is configured to: determine a state of charge of the at least one battery; and interrupt a function of the electronic device for at least one predefined time period based on the state of charge of the at least one battery, where the interruption is indicative of a state of charge of the at least one battery. There is also provided an electronic device for use in the system.

A personal protection and ventilation system is provided. The system includes a gown having front and rear panels, a hood, and visor; a fan; an air tube; and a helmet. The fan is positioned between the wearer and a body-facing surface of the rear panel. The front panel and at least a portion of the hood are formed from a first material including a first spunbond layer, a spunbond-meltblown-spunbond laminate, and a liquid impervious elastic film disposed therebetween. The first material has an air volumetric flow rate of less than about 1 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm). The rear panel is formed from a second material including a nonwoven laminate having an air volumetric flow rate of about 20 scfm to about 80 scfm. Therefore, the fan is able to intake a sufficient amount of air from the environment through the rear panel to provide cooling/ventilation to the hood.

A low-flow alarm optionally having a variable pressure pre-set threshold, for use with protective suits and hoods is disclosed. In one embodiment, a low-flow valve alarm comprises an adjustable spindle handwheel having a hole, a valve body having an air inlet port, the valve body connected with the adjustable spindle handwheel, a hollow handwheel body joined to the adjustable spindle handwheel, a diaphragm sealing collar joined to a whistlehead retaining body, the whistlehead retaining body having a central bore and joined with a whistlehead, a resilient diaphragm joined with a control spindle disposed within the central bore of the whistlehead retaining body, the control spindle having an air channel, wherein air can travel through the air channel, wherein air flow is adapted to act on the resilient diaphragm, compressing a spring and wherein a low air pressure condition relaxes compression on the spring, producing an audible alarm.

An air breathing device includes a casing and an air passage cavity encompassed by the casing. The device includes a set of air intake ports and air discharge ports that connect the air passage cavity to the outside of the casing. The device includes a set of dampers that allow the air to flow into the air passage cavity during inhalation through the air intake ports. The device includes a set of dampers that allow the air to exit the air passage cavity during exhalation through the air discharge ports. The device includes a retractable display screen to display content to the wearer. The device includes a fixed display screen to display images of the mouth of the wearer captured by a camera lens or simulated based on captured voice of the wearer. The device includes UV lights, filters, network connections, camera lenses, speakers, microphones, ear plugs, and heating coils.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the head cradle including 5 two head band members fastened to each other is provided, where the head band member includes: a support member extending in one direction; a first fastening part formed at one end portion of the support member and having an insertion hole formed to pass therethrough; a second fastening part formed at the other end portion of the support member; and a strap connection part which is formed at an end portion of the first 0 fastening part or the second fastening part and to which a strap connected to a mask main body is connected, where the support member includes a hole-section on which at least one slit hole having a shape extending at a predetermined angle with respect to the one direction is formed.
