A receiver for separating and collecting contaminants, such as lint produced by a textile machine, from an airstream. The receiver includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet. The receiver includes a dumping mechanism to selectively dump the collected contaminants from the bottom of the housing. The housing contains a perforated filter support positioned in a flow path of the airstream from the inlet to the outlet. A tubular mesh screen is attached under tension to the perforated filter support. The tubular mesh screen is positioned in the flow path of the airstream from the inlet to the outlet so that the screen can separate the contaminants from the airstream. An annular bracket ring is attached to a lower portion of the screen to position and facilitate replacement of the screen. Pressure sensors are provided to activate the dumping mechanism based on a predetermined pressure differential.

An air treatment device having a flexible air hose, duct or gooseneck member. The air hose, duct or gooseneck member permits an inlet end thereof to be positioned in proximity to a patient so that a negative pressure can be created around the patient so that air can sucked or vacuumed into the system whereupon it is treated as the air flows through the system.

A humidification and air cleaning apparatus is provided, in which a wave having a predetermined cycle is formed on a plurality of blades of a blower fan, such that operating noise caused by a flow of discharged air may be minimized, and a wave is formed at a trailing edge, such that a phase difference may be formed for air to be separated, and air flow noise of the discharged air may be reduced.

An air purification device for use in an air management system includes a housing formed from a polymer matrix composite structure and a filter arranged within the housing. The filter is formed from a porous composite structure including a plurality of filter fibers such that air is configured to flow through the filter. Microbes within the air are configured to contact the plurality of filter fibers.

The present disclosure relates to air filters. More particularly, it relates to air filters including pleated filter media that can be uniformly expanded and contracted. In some embodiments, the air filters are adjustably sized air filter systems. In some embodiments, the air filters can be used in a window opening.

An air purification unit is provided for individuals seated at a table that has a unit body adapted to be mounted at a mounting height at or above the approximate head height of individuals seated at the table, and in a position between the individuals. A motorized fan system is provided within the unit body that is configured to draw air from at least one inlet proximate the bottom of the unit body. A filter is positioned in communication with the inlet and the fan system for filtering air drawn through the inlet. The unit body has at least two ducted outlets disposed radially or axially for discharging filtered air toward the individuals, while the unit prevents cross-flow of breath air between the individuals.

A brake disc arrangement has a brake disc and a brake caliper arranged at the brake disc. A brake caliper holder is provided. One or more bearing bolts hold the brake caliper at the brake caliper holder. A brake dust particle filter is provided with a filter housing. The filter housing of the brake dust particle filter is fixedly connected by the one or more bearing bolts to the brake caliper or to the brake caliper holder.

The present disclosure is directed to a novel redesigned or retrofitted cabin air filtration system utilizing an ultraviolet light, radiation, or an energy matrix membrane and related technology to eliminate toxins such as viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi, rickettsia, protozoa, etc. from the air system in a vehicle, such as an automobile, marine vehicle airplane, etc., thereby improving the current cabin air filter functionality and providing a sterile air distribution environment throughout the cabin of the vehicle or small area.

An air purifier is disclosed and includes a housing, a cover, a filter assembly, and a fan. The housing includes a casing and a shell which are detachable from each other, the casing has a venting portion. The cover has at least one breathable part. The filter assembly is configured in a space defined by the casing and the cover. The filter assembly includes a transformable body and at least one filter. The transformable body has two passage portions. The filter is located between the two passage portions. The transformable body is configured to be transformable to change airflow through the filter. The venting portion, the two passage portions, the breathable part are coupled in fluid communication. The fan is disposed in the housing and configured to generate airflow. The filter assembly is suitable for different situations of ventilating for fixed-locations and being worn for protection from smoke.

A system is described to protect a person from exposure to pathogens in breathing. A control device which can be an adjustable or removable filter, a valve to switch air sources, added substances interruption of the air stream is controlled by a determination made by a machine learning system with a machine learning model usually implemented as a neural network. The determination is made on the basis of training of the model which can be one or multiple stages with one stage in a large server not in real time and another stage in a field device which uses sensors and other information sources to acquire data to make a decision concerning the relative risk of various circumstances. Conditions detected include presence of other persons, level of activity of the protected person and many other factors concerning the surroundings, activity and history of the protected person.
