An inflatable and scented vase and flower bouquet includes a housing having an outer surface configured in the form of a vase having flowers extending upwardly from a top of the vase, the housing having a singular construction and defining a single interior space that may be inflated to have the appearance of an authentic vase and flower bouquet. The inflatable bouquet may include a scent dispenser operative to dispense a fragrance associated with a flower depicted by the flower portion of the housing. A weight may be situated in the interior space to prevent the housing from floating away if inflated with helium.

One variation of a method for detecting pathogens in an environment includes, during a first sampling period: triggering collection of a pathogen sample from ambient air in the environment by an air sampler; and tracking a first organic load of the first pathogen sample via a detection subsystem integrated within the air sampler, the first organic load representative of a first amount of organic matter present in the first pathogen sample. In response to the first organic load exceeding a threshold organic load defined for the environment, the method further includes: interpreting presence of a set of pathogens in the environment via genetic analysis of the first pathogen sample; and, in response to detecting presence of a first pathogen, in the set of pathogens, in the first pathogen sample, transmitting a notification indicating presence of the first pathogen in the environment to a user associated with the environment.

A fog generator assembly includes a water vapor generator, a fragrance dispenser, and a mixing element fluidly coupled to the water generator and the fragrance dispenser. The mixing element is configured to mix a fog of water vapor from the water vapor generator with a fragrance from the fragrance dispenser to produce an aromatic fog.

An air disinfection device includes: a housing including an inlet port and a disinfection chamber that has a shape of a frustum; and a disinfection head disposed in the inlet port and including a fan for taking air into the housing, a filter for filtering the air; and a light source for generating disinfection light that forms a light frustum and disinfects the air in the disinfection chamber. The air disinfection device further includes a power source that provides electrical power for the disinfection head. The light source is arranged so that the light frustum is coaxial with the chamber frustum, and the light and chamber frusta diverge along the same direction. The lateral surface of the light frustum can coincide with the inner lateral surface of the disinfection chamber and the entire portion of a space defined by the disinfection chamber is located within the light frustum.

A hygiene management device for an entrance hall includes a footrest located on the bottom of an entrance space to introduce air to the footrest and may transmit the air to an air management module. In the air management module, the air may be purified and the temperature thereof may be preset. The air may be flown through a duct by a fan assembly. The air flowing through the duct may pass through a second duct located at the ceiling of the entrance space and be transmitted to an air discharger. The air discharger may adjust directions to which discharge holes are directed such that air can be discharged to a person standing on the footrest in various directions, and the discharged air may be introduced into the footrest.

An apparatus configured to purify air and sanitizing including a main base including one or more buttons configured to operate the apparatus, a lid attachable to the main base and that includes one or more ventilation perforations to intake air and an orifice to output purified air, a filter adjacent to the one or more ventilation perforations and enclosed in the lid, wherein the filter is configured to remove at least bacteria from atmospheric air and extract purified air, a fan configured to intake atmospheric air into the filter and blow purified air extracted from the filter outside of an orifice of the lid, a tank configured to store liquid, wherein the liquid includes at least liquid sanitizer, a pump configured to output liquid stored in a tank, and a cavity section that includes an outlet configured to output the liquid sanitizer in response to actuation of the pump.

An antibacterial spray release apparatus for releasing sanitizer into the air includes a housing having a fan aperture extending through to a housing inside and a removable access panel. A sanitizer reservoir is coupled within the housing to store a liquid sanitizer. A pump is coupled to the sanitizer reservoir and a fan is coupled to the pump. The fan has a hub with a spray nozzle extending through to be in fluid communication with the pump. A motor is coupled within the housing inside and is in operational communication with the fan. A plurality of controls is coupled to the housing and is in operational communication with a microprocessor to run the motor and the pump. A power supply is coupled to the housing and is in operational communication with the microprocessor.

An air flow system for reducing pathogens in a breathable airstream in an environment has a device having an airstream intake for receiving a volume of untreated air located in a first position, an airstream outlet for expelling a volume of treated air, the airstream outlet located in a second position extending above the first position, a flow path extending between the airstream intake and the airstream outlet, at least one of a UV generator and a UV-C emitter optically coupled to the flow path, a power source operably connected to the one of the at least one of the UV generator and the UV emitter, and a pressure generator fluidly connected to the airstream intake, the pressure generator configured to impart a flow from the airstream intake to the airstream outlet, wherein the pressure generator can be at least one of a force of flow from in line pressurized source or provided by a fan within the housing, and wherein a portion of the flow path includes a UV-C highly reflective surface.

The present application is to provide a wall-mounted air purifier, including a housing, a filter installed in the housing, and a fan installed in the housing. The housing is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the air outlet is arranged at a position corresponding to an outlet of the fan, the filter is arranged between the air inlet and the fan, and the air inlet is arranged at a position corresponding to a rear side of a bottom of the housing, and the air outlet is arranged at a position corresponding to a front side of the bottom of the housing.
