A system for influencing the senses of a person in a room for measuring and/or influencing physiological parameters of the person is provided. The person is substantially stationary and lying in the room during the measurement and/or influencing. The system includes a sound insulating apparatus for screening off acoustically active devices with respect to the person. The acoustically active devices serve for measuring and/or influencing the physiological parameters in the room, and an optical display apparatus for offering optical stimuli and/or signals for the person in the field of view of the person.

ModuleVide™ takes a unique approach to sustaining vacuum service in Critical Zones within a hospital or other medical facility. This solution relates to a medical facility with a main vacuum plant connected via a main piping with branches that deliver vacuum to different areas within the facility. Critical Zone branches off the central vacuum piping system are augmented with integrated branch backup vacuum generating devices (ModuleVide™). Upon failure of vacuum in the branch piping, the ModuleVide™ activates to reestablish vacuum service in that branch piping segment. The branch of piping may for example correspond to the surgical theater suit of a hospital. The vacuum capacity of the ModuleVide™ is sized to match the specific Critical Zone branch's expected demand.

A portable modular shelter apparatus comprises a base, a roof, a plurality of wall elements, a plurality of corner elements, a photovoltaic solar collector, electrical circuit componentry and a utility panel. The base defines a storage compartment. The apparatus is configurable from a disassembled transport condition into an assembled condition, in which the base, roof, walls and corners are configured to releasably interlock to form a rigid shelter having a solar powered electricity supply circuit.

Apparatus for use in providing isolation, the apparatus including an isolation tent having a body including a roof member, at least one wall extending between a supporting surface and the roof member in use to thereby at least partially define an internal volume substantially isolated from a surrounding environment, a plurality of connectors coupled to the body, the plurality of connectors being adapted to physically attach the body to a frame and an electrical component electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of connectors to allow electrical signals to be transferred to or from the electrical component via the connector.

A hybrid operating room with support structure. The hybrid operating room includes an interior for use in the imaging of and performance of surgery on a patient, the interior including a ceiling. The hybrid operating room also includes a support assembly positioned above the unit for supporting equipment used in conjunction with such imaging and surgery so that the equipment extends downwardly from the ceiling into the interior. The support assembly is designed to support a load of at least 3,500 pounds, and more in certain implementations.

An upper “hub and spoke” octagon is connected to a lower “hub and spoke” octagon by vertical shafts. Each of the vertices of both the above-ground and below-ground octagons houses a six-part educational/professional center. At the center of each octagon has a central hub that houses items such as restaurants, first aid centers, rock-climbing walls, etc. Each corridor houses at least two educational subjects, such that visitors are entertained and educated as they walk from one unit to another. The vertical shafts can provide experiences such as skydiving simulators, or just stairs that will allow visitors to get some quality exercise as they tour the invention.
