When determining an alert, the control system transmits data associated with a presence and magnitude of the one or more conditions at each of the plurality of nodes to a cloud computing environment and, in return, receives a notification based on the data transmitted.

Devices for instant detection and disinfection of aerosol droplet particles using UV light sources

The present invention is directed to a device consisting of a portable and multi-band UV light device that uses a combination of UVA, UVB, and UVC wavelength band of UV emitters. For detection, UV emitters are energized to a particulate collector that will fluoresce and glow when there is the presence of a wide range of different harmful aerosol droplet particles in the air that may be collected. This instant and positive visual detection with an available audio alarm alert indicates the presence of harmful aerosol droplet particles in the vicinity of this Instant Particulate Detector or IPD device, allowing the user to take immediate and corrective action. The user can also subsequently select disinfection utilizing UVC wavelength light to sterilize the particulate collector and Instant Particulate Detector or IPD device.

Method for predicting air quality with aid of machine learning models

A method for predicting air quality with the aid of machine learning models includes: (A) providing air pollution data to perform an eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) regression algorithm for obtaining a XGBoost prediction value; (B) providing the air pollution data to perform a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm for obtaining an LSTM prediction value; (C) combining the air pollution data, the XGBoost prediction value and the LSTM prediction value to generate air pollution combination data; (D) performing an XGBoost classification algorithm to obtain a suggestion for whether to issue an air pollution alert; and (E) performing the XGBoost regression algorithm on the air pollution combination data to obtain an air pollution prediction value. Two layers of machine learning models are built, and a situation where prediction results are too conservative when a single model does not have enough data can be improved.
