Technologies are generally described for positionable air freshener devices. The devices may comprise an insertion section. The insertion section may include electrodes effective to receive and conduct an electric current and secure the device to an electric source. The insertion section may include a ball. The devices may comprise a base. The base may include a socket. The socket may attach to the ball. The socket and ball may form a ball joint. The base may include a port effective to receive electric current from the electrodes. The base may include a collar effective to apply heat sufficient to release a fragrance from a material when electrical current is supplied to the collar from the electrodes. The device may include a cap with a ring shaped cross-section, sized and shaped so as to be connectable to the base such that the port is accessible when the cap is connected.

There is provided a system and method of cleaning surfaces of an interior cabin space of a contamination comprising a microbial and viral load. The method includes the steps of sealing the interior cabin space and placing water, and a solid or gel pack, into a container and generating a vortex the container by rotating an impeller. The agitation causes the solid or gel pack to release a gaseous cleaning agent. An air-borne spray exiting from the container spreads throughout the interior cabin space to coat the surfaces to be cleaned within the interior cabin space. The cabin is maintained closed for an effective time period while the coating from the air-borne spray dwells on the surfaces to eliminate or substantially reduce the load of the contamination.

Ionization systems configured with a catalyst-bearing sleeve provide improved filtration while keeping ozone levels within acceptable limits. Modular configurations provide for serviceability and replaceability. System controls monitor particulates, temperature, humidity, and other relevant factors and adjust an ionization level accordingly for optimal performance.

In a filter device, a disc-shaped filter is disposed on a main flow channel through which a gas flows, and the filter is rotated by a motor. A branch flow channel branches off at the downstream of the filter in the main flow channel, and branched gas is passed through the filter in an opposite direction. Rotation of the filter moves dust collected in a dust gathering region where the filter and the main flow channel overlap with each other to a cleaning region where the filter and the branch flow channel overlap with each other so that the dust is disengaged from the filter. Thus, the filter of the filter device can be automatically cleaned.

A method for monitoring generation of dust in a self-contained breathing apparatus involves performing a preliminary empirical compilation of databases related to an amount of dust that results from vibrations and/or mechanical impacts; determining a total empirical amplitude value; registering vibrations and/or mechanical impacts on a self-contained breathing apparatus under actual operating conditions; comparing a total breathing apparatus amplitude value with the total empirical amplitude value; generating a signal of inoperability when the dust content value exceeds a preset maximum allowable value. A monitoring device comprises a three-axis accelerometer and microcontroller configured to convert acceleration vectors into the total breathing apparatus amplitude value and compare this value the total empirical amplitude value. The device generates a signal of inoperability when the dust content value exceeds the preset maximum allowable value. The monitoring device may be part of a monitoring system comprising multiple breathing apparatuses and monitoring devices.
