This present invention relates to a single body air treatment system for recreational vehicles and is a combination of components working in a scheme so to provide heating, cooling, dehumidification, ventilation, air-purification, heavy-duty drying, into a single body. The system comprising of a cooling air plant having a refrigerating cycle and air heat exchangers acting with electricity and a heating plant having an incorporated fuel/Natural-Gas burner acting as air furnace. The system operates heating and cooling simultaneously with in the same air-flow and provides air purification through an antibacterial electrical device. The system also integrates extra pipes to produce extra hot-water in winter while the system operates in heating. The system is integrated with a dedicated resonator chamber to minimize the external noise produce by extraction blowers.

A wakefulness inducing device includes: a heat dissipation intensity obtainer obtaining a user's heat dissipation intensity from a heat dissipation intensity sensor; and a controller controlling an air conditioner to alternate the user's heat dissipation intensity between a first heat dissipation intensity and a second heat dissipation intensity lower than the first heat dissipation intensity. The controller alternates the user's heat dissipation intensity by controlling the air conditioner based on the user's heat dissipation intensity to set a first time period longer than a second time period. In the first time period, the user's heat dissipation intensity increases from the second heat dissipation intensity to the first heat dissipation intensity, or remains at the first heat dissipation intensity. In the second time period, the user's heat dissipation intensity decreases from the first heat dissipation intensity to the second heat dissipation intensity, or remains at the second heat dissipation intensity.

Provided is an ion generating apparatus, including a housing and an ion generating unit. A waterproof part is provided below an air outlet. The waterproof part includes a discharge port penetrating the waterproof part and in communication with an inside of the housing, and a guide part having a receiving space for receiving a liquid flowing in from the air outlet and guiding the liquid to the discharge port while bypassing an ion exhaust port. By providing the waterproof part below the air outlet to receive the liquid flowing in from the air outlet, the ion generating apparatus may not only prevent the liquid from entering the ion generating unit through the ion exhaust port to affect an ion generation, but also allow a liquid entering the inside of the housing to flow out of the housing along a path that does not come into contact with an electrical component.

An autonomous vehicle utilizing machine learning method, system, and computer program product include training, by a computing device, a driver attention model utilizing historical ambient sensor data and historical physiological sensor data associated with an autonomous vehicle, receiving ambient sensor data associated with a currently driving autonomous vehicle, receiving physiological sensor data associated with a driver of the currently driving autonomous vehicle, and using, by a computing device, the trained driver attention model in conjunction with the ambient sensor data and the physiological sensor data to generate an alert for a driver of the currently driving autonomous vehicle.

A sanitizing shield for a vehicle includes a separation surface configured to at least partially shroud a shielded seat. The separation surface has an inner seat facing side and an outer shielding side. The sanitizing shield includes a sanitization station coupled to the separation surface. The sanitizing shield can have one or more of a hand sanitizer dispenser, an air purifier, and/or an ultraviolet-C(UVC) sanitizer. The sanitizing shield provides for improved physical separation within the passenger cabin while enhancing the sanitization potential available to rear passengers of the vehicle.

A system for disinfecting surfaces in a space, such as a vehicle or a building. The system may include a disinfecting module having a UVC light source and/or an ambient heat source for disinfecting the space. In some embodiments, an occupancy sensor is incorporated within the module. In some embodiments, control of the system in incorporated into the functionality of a ride-share application to facilitate disinfection of the vehicle between occupant rides.

An air purification system for use with rail car HVAC system to remove or destroy harmful pathogens in the air. The air purification system has a housing with an inlet, an outlet, and a passageway extending between the inlet and the outlet. An intense field generator and filter is used to charge any particles in the air and remove them from the air flow. An ultraviolet radiation source is positioned to direct ultraviolet illumination into the passageway. Finally, a dielectric barrier discharge unit having a high voltage electrode coupled to a dielectric barrier and a ground electrode spaced apart from the high voltage electrode is used to form a low temperature plasma chamber is in communication with the passageway so that the ions created in the plasma chamber will attach to and destroy any remaining particles in the air flow.
