Among other things, vehicle cabin pressure systems and vehicle cabin pressure techniques are described for a vehicle. The vehicle includes a cabin configured to seat a plurality of passengers; at least one inlet including at least one inlet fan; at least one occupancy sensor; and at least one processor configured to execute computer executable instructions, the execution carrying out operations including: receiving a signal from the at least one occupancy sensor indicating a number of passengers within the cabin; and controlling the at least one inlet to cause air that is or has been filtered to flow into the cabin and increase a pressure in the cabin to a predetermined level above an ambient pressure level outside the vehicle based on the number of passengers in the cabin.

A safety cabinet includes a work space where work is performed; a front panel disposed in a front surface of the work space; and an air cleaner that cleans air to be supplied to the work space. An imaging device is disposed on one side surface side of side surfaces of the work space, and a connection opening is disposed on the other side surface side facing one side surface.

A detoxification device for removing pathogens from air within an environment. The detoxification device may include a filtration media for catching and retaining particles larger than about 0.3 micrometers (μm) with an efficiency of at least 99%. The detoxification device may also include a heating element having a metallic foam. The heating element may be heated upon application of an electrical current to the heating element. The heating element may, upon being heated, heat the filtration media to a target temperature that is effective to kill a pathogen.

A full-cover type portable air purifier includes a breathing mask provided with a first air inlet, an air cleaning device having a fan mounted in a housing thereof to drive outside air from the first air inlet into the breathing mask, an air filter set in the breathing mask, and a wearing device designed to be worn on the user's head or ears so that the breathing mask can cover the user's mouth and nose. In this way, it can filter dust, bacteria and viruses and facilitate wearing during activities.

In some implementations, a hookless shower curtain with seamless snap-on liner (“seamless liner shower curtain”) comprises a curtain and an attachable (e.g., snap-on) liner. In some implementations, a method of using the seamless liner shower curtain comprises attaching the liner to the curtain and using the seamless liner shower curtain as a shower curtain.

A smart mask includes a face covering, an attachment member, one or more power source(s), an air circulation subsystem, an exhaust subsystem, and a controller. The face covering is configured to cover a face area of a wearer. The attachment member is configured to attach the face covering onto the face area of the wearer. The air circulation subsystem is powered by at least one of the one or more power source(s) and configured to filter outside air and draw the filtered outside air into the face area. The exhaust subsystem is placed below the air circulation subsystem and configured to purge exhaled air out of the face area. The controller is configured to control the air circulation subsystem.

A facepiece respirator configured to be worn by a user. The facepiece respirator includes including a first layer and a second layer coupled to the first layer. The first layer is positionable adjacent the user. A filtering layer is positioned between the first and second layer, and the filtering layer includes a piezoelectric film.

A device and process to inactivate viruses and kill living bacteria using the available techniques like UV irradiation, heat, filtration, and/or chemical treatment, individually or all at once to achieve the best results. The operation of the invention could be programmed/controlled using a remote controller/programmer. The invention could be used in spaces occupied by humans or when humans are not present. When humans are not present it uses mainly UV irradiation, and when humans are present it circulates the air to be disinfected through a protective enclosure. In some applications using UV disinfection, the device can circulate and disinfect the air inside it, while irradiating the UV irradiations to other parts of the space to disinfect them. One embodiment of the device is similar to a mask, not just to collect the viruses and bacteria, but also, to inactivate the viruses and kill the bacteria. The invention will make indoor places very safe and safer than outdoors, because the indoor could be disinfected as a controlled enclosed space, while the outdoor is practically impossible to disinfect. Which will allow people to live better life without fears of contracting or spreading the viruses now or in the future. The invention is easy to install, operate, maintain, clean, and highly effective.

A system for treating and/or preventing a viral, bacterial and/or fungal infection in the oral cavity and/or along the respiratory tract, in particular the interior of the nose, throat, trachea and/or lungs, of a patient by reactive species generated by plasma as well as a plasma for such use is disclosed. The system comprises a plasma source generating reactive species in a gas, the plasma source being configured to be located outside a body of the patient, and a species directing member forming at least one duct for guiding at least a part of the reactive species generated by the plasma source into the oral cavity and/or the respiratory tract.
