An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a localized heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system comprising a moveable air delivery system comprising. The moveable air delivery system further comprising an air inlet configured to receive air and an air outlet configured to output the air into a space. The localized HVAC further comprising a movement system configured to move the air outlet in a generally planar manner. The movement system further comprising an air delivery support system configured to support the air outlet, the air delivery support system configured to move the air outlet in an air delivery plane.

A process and apparatus to preclude unfiltered atmospheric gases and the products of human respiration including carbon-dioxide (CO.sub.2) with carbon-14 (.sub.14C) from contaminating greenhouse atmospheric gases which has utility in growing agricultural products with a reduced abundance of .sub.14C are disclosed. Agricultural products with reduced .sub.14C content can be grown in greenhouses with filtered atmospheric gases for the benefit of reducing harmful damage to human DNA. Agricultural production in greenhouses still requires humans to plant, maintain, and harvest crops in many cases. The process and apparatus allow for humans to access, work, and operate in these controlled environments without contaminating the atmospheric gases and agricultural products therein with respiration products and unfiltered atmospheric gases containing radioactive .sub.14C.

A furniture apparatus includes an integrated holder for supporting and securing an air filter system adjacent the furniture apparatus to filter air exhaled between persons at or near the furniture apparatus.

A wearable air conditioner includes a shell for being worn around a wearing portion of a user, a fan and a temperature regulating member disposed in the shell. The shell includes a first air passage, a first accommodating chamber, at least one air outlet in communication with the first air passage, and vent holes in communication with the first accommodating chamber. The temperature regulating member is configured for generating heat energy or cold energy. The temperature regulating member is in thermal connection with a sidewall of the first accommodating chamber. An airflow generated by the fan is capable of entering the first air passage and then exiting the shell via the at least air outlet.

An active breathing system is for an aseptic overalls arranged to be worn by a user. The system includes an aeration device and a surrounding air inlet, and aseptic overalls for a cleanroom. The aeration device includes a first longitudinal hollow body arranged to receive a ventilator connected to an energy source, an air suctioning tube in fluidic communication with the longitudinal hollow body, and the surrounding air outlet in fluidic communication with the longitudinal hollow body, and arranged to direct surrounding air upwards. The aeration device has an air inlet on the aseptic overalls and arranged to enable passage of the surrounding air on the outside of the aseptic overalls in an inner portion of the aseptic overalls.

Body-worn air-treatment devices include a body that is configured to be selectively coupled proximate to a respiratory tract inlet of a living individual, and a pathogen-deactivating mechanism that is supported by the body. Methods include deactivating pathogens proximate to a respiratory tract inlet of a living individual.

An integrated system and process provides integrated control of the environment within a personal space. A tent or other structure suitable for forming a personal space, is in contact with, and may enclose, a user station. The system includes a control system, main controller, control modules, sensors, environmental units and other controllers that operate in an integrated fashion to provide a controlled environment within the personal space. The tent may enclose all or portions of the control system, main controller, control modules, sensors, environmental units and other controllers. Portions of the control system, main controller, control modules, sensors, environmental units and other controllers may reside outside tent. A process for providing environmental control of the personal space includes learning capabilities.

An air-conditioning garment includes a garment main part that is worn on the upper body of a wearer, and two fans that are attached to a lower part of a back part of a garment main part, and configured to feed outside air into the inside of the garment main part. Each of the two fans includes a fan main body and a case that houses the fan main body and includes two air outlets. The two air outlets are formed so that their blowing directions are restricted to being upward or obliquely upward. The two air outlets are formed in such a manner that their blowing directions have an upwardly-opened V-shape.

An airborne pathogen extraction system that provides for continuous airborne pathogen particle extraction from a specifically targeted area in a room or a specifically targeted area proximate to a user. The pathogenic particles are filtered and/or disinfected before the air is returned proximate to the originating location, or are directed an area away from the user(s). The airborne pathogen extraction systems and methods lower the chances of contagion or infection from airborne pathogens, such as viruses.

An air purifier configured for near-field operation so that purified air is directed toward the head of a user, enabling the user to breathe a higher percentage of purified air versus unpurified ambient air. Additional functions are included to provide enhanced functionality in a use environment, such as on a desk.
