Apparatus and techniques for implementing an isolation chamber, and more particularly for implementing an EMF shielded isolation chamber. In various embodiments, an isolation tank includes a shell having an upper cover and a lower tank portion having one or more sidewalls connected to a floor. The lower tank portion is configured to hold liquid and the lower tank portion and the upper cover together define an interior chamber configured to receive a user. The isolation tank further includes a conductive shield associated with at least a portion of the shell and configured to shield at least a portion of the interior chamber from external electromagnetic fields. In various additional embodiments, the isolation tank includes a shield ground for electrically grounding the shield and/or a liquid ground for electrically grounding the liquid.

Method, system and computer program product are provided for estimating a circadian phase of a subject by: obtaining a sensed biological signal for the subject; and using, by one or more processors, adaptive frequency tracking to adaptively estimate the circadian phase of the subject from the sensed biological signal. Circadian phase estimation may be accelerated by providing a feedback loop for the adaptive frequency tracking, which utilizes, in part, a circadian phase model in automatically ascertaining a phase correction for the adaptive frequency tracking. The circadian phase estimation may be used in automatically constructing a light-based circadian rhythm model for the subject using a linear parameter-varying (LPV) formulation, and once constructed, the circadian rhythm model for the subject may be used to provide light-based circadian rhythm regulation.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to increasing protection against electric shocks when a person is working on an electrical system. In some embodiments, the electrical system includes at least two different circuits and a safety module. An emergency signal input is provided on the safety module, and when an external emergency signal is received via the emergency signal input, the safety module shuts off a configured first circuit the associated switch and at least one further circuit via the associated switch if the safety module still receives the emergency signal at the emergency signal input after a predetermined period of time.

The present invention relates to a static electricity removal booth, and more specifically to a static electricity removal booth which measures and displays the amount of static electricity accumulated in a human body before entrance into or exit from an explosion-proof area where an inflammable, such as gunpowder, refined petroleum or inflammable gas, is handled, allows an enterer to enter the inside of the static electricity removal booth when a voltage equal to or higher than an allowable value is measured, removes the bodily static electricity by bringing sprayed moisture including a conductive material into contact with the enterer in an omnidirectional manner, and then allows the enterer to enter the explosion-proof area, thereby preventing an explosion accident attributable to human body-accumulated static electricity from occurring.
