Donnable barrier systems, devices, and methods with touchless control

A barrier system, device, and method protects medical professionals and patients from exposure to contaminants and bodily fluids. The system includes a head unit (e.g., 708) shaped to be worn over the head of the wearer; a hood (e.g., 704) positioned over the head unit; one or more sensors (e.g., 1902) configured to produce one or more sensor-output signals; and a controller (e.g., 1904) connected to the one or more sensors and configured to produce one or more controller-output signals based on the one or more sensor-output signals. Further, a device inside a barrier system is controlled by (a) sensing one or more characteristics; (b) producing one or more sensor signals based on the sensed one or more characteristics; (c) converting and/or processing the one or more sensor signals to produce one or more controller-output signals; and (d) controlling the device based on the one or more controller-output signals.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL AND SUPPORT APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USE

A protective apparel support system is disclosed comprising a support frame configured to rest on the shoulders of a wearer, the support having a first shoulder member, a second shoulder member and a shield engagement portion. A shield is selectively coupleable to the support and protective apparel is coupled to the shield.

APPAREL THERMO-REGULATORY SYSTEM
20200138123 · 2020-05-07 ·

Aspects herein are directed to an apparel thermo-regulatory system that actively heats or cools a wearer. The apparel thermo-regulatory system comprises an apparel item, a dimensionally stable frame comprising at least one aperture that is affixed to an outer-facing surface of the apparel item at a predetermined location, an absorbent material applied to an exposed face of the dimensionally stable frame, and at least one thermoelectric module that is releasably positioned within the aperture of the dimensionally stable frame.

Necklace-type fan

A necklace-type fan includes: a necklace part which has a curved tube shape, and has a plurality of wind blowing holes formed in a longitudinal direction of the necklace part; a wind generation part which has an interior being in communication with the necklace part, and has a fan installed to pump the wind into the necklace part; and a control unit which adjusts a rotational speed of the fan, wherein the wind introduced through the wind generation part is discharged through the wind blowing holes while being changed in intensity by the control unit.

Personal Protection and Ventilation System

A personal protection and ventilation system is provided. The system includes a gown having front and rear panels, a hood, and visor; a fan; an air tube; and a helmet. The fan is positioned between the wearer and a body-facing surface of the rear panel. The front panel and at least a portion of the hood are formed from a first material including a first spunbond layer, a spunbond-meltblown-spunbond laminate, and a liquid impervious elastic film disposed therebetween. The first material has an air volumetric flow rate of less than about 1 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm). The rear panel is formed from a second material including a nonwoven laminate having an air volumetric flow rate of about 20 scfm to about 80 scfm. Therefore, the fan is able to intake a sufficient amount of air from the environment through the rear panel to provide cooling/ventilation to the hood.

Integration of distributed thermoelectric heating and cooling

A thermoelectric device including a panel, formed of a thermally insulating material, and having a plurality of thermoelectric elements including compacted conductors inside the insulating material and expanded conductors outside the insulating material wherein the thermoelectric elements run substantially parallel to or at an acute angle relative to the long dimension of the panel. The thermoelectric device may be integrated into a variety of surfaces or enclosures needing heating or cooling with controls and configurations to optimize the application.

Garment Ventilation System
20200046050 · 2020-02-13 ·

A garment ventilation system. The garment ventilation system has a motorized fan rotatably disposed within a fan housing. A vent tube, which has a first end and a second end, defines an interior channel. The first end of the vent tube removably secures to the fan housing. The second end of the vent tube further includes an inflatable member. The inflatable member receives forced air from the motorized fan via the vent tube. The inflatable member further includes a plurality of apertures through which the forced air is expelled. The vent tube includes a hook shape for removably supporting the garment ventilation system on an edge of a garment. The garment ventilation system is utilized to provide airflow underneath the garment of a wearer in order to aid in keeping the wearer cool and dry.
