An air purifier includes a display mounted between a front panel of a cabinet of the air purifier and an upper panel of the cabinet. The front panel includes a door which is configured and supported to be drawn in to the cabinet toward the display or drawn out from the cabinet away from the display. A display module including the display is disposed below the upper panel.

A clean air system comprises an inlet port, an airflow chamber, and an air exit port. A UV light source arranged within the airflow chamber disinfects air as it passes through the airflow chamber. The chamber promotes a vortex of swirling air around the intense UV light maximizing particle exposure. The clean air is then expelled at the other end of the chamber.

A device for removing particulates includes an outflow opening and a fan that delivers air through the outflow opening. An air curtain is formed in front of a mouth and nose region of a person by the air delivered by the fan and which is directed in a targeted manner to remove particulates. The device has a collection element with at least one capture opening opposite the outflow opening. A least part of the air curtain, which runs in a plane stretched through transverse and vertical directions of a motor vehicle, is captured by the capture opening to remove at least a part of the particulate.

A furniture apparatus includes an integrated holder for supporting and securing an air filter system adjacent the furniture apparatus to filter air exhaled between persons at or near the furniture apparatus.

Disclosed is a piece of furniture for air purification in the form of a substantially closed cabinet including: an upper purpose tray; side walls in vertical alignment below this tray; an opening in the top of the side walls; an opening in the bottom of the cabinet, in which an opening allows the filtered air to exit; an electrical power source; an air pressurizer connected to the power source, allowing the air to flow through the cabinet; a horizontal filter, parallel to the upper purpose tray and upstream of the air pressurizer; a vertical filter, perpendicular to the upper purpose tray downstream of the air pressurizer, at least 3 cm away from the nearest side wall; a duct between filter downstream of the air pressurizer and the nearest side wall, which duct allows the filtered air to be discharged towards the opening of the bottom part of the cabinet.

A droplet infection suppression system includes an airflow generator capable of generating an airflow for separating a space into first regions, a first detector that detects human presence in each of the first regions, a second detector that detects coughing or sneezing in the space, and a controller which, when the second detector detects coughing or sneezing, controls the airflow generator to generate an airflow such that a second region including one or more first regions including a first region where human presence has been detected by the first detector is separated by the airflow from other regions.

A low-profile air purifier comprises a housing that includes a pair of plates opposing one another, an intake opening and an output opening; a toroidal fan rotatably mounted in the housing between the plates, an axis of the toroidal fan being essentially perpendicular to the plates; a motor disposed in a central opening of the toroidal fan for rotating the toroidal fan; and a filter mounted to the housing for filtering air flowing through the housing. The present patent application also discloses a modular wall section that comprises an internal frame; an air purifier mounted within the internal frame; and a panel mounted in the internal frame for movement between an open position for accessing the air purifier and a closed position concealing the air purifier. The air purifier of the modular wall section may have similar configuration as the above discussed low-profile air purifier.

Radiant heating systems for warming an occupant of an enclosed space. The system includes a component with a surface that faces the occupant. The surface defines an A-surface quality meaning the surface is visible and is designed with styling objectives to have an aesthetic appearance. Conductive strands are exposed at the surface and a power supply supplies electric power to the conductive strands. A controller controls the electric power supplied to the conductive strands.

In a first aspect, a system for heating, cooling, or both heating and cooling a room is disclosed. The system includes a panel with a first, second, and third wall. The second wall is disposed between the first and third walls and separated by a plurality of partitions. The partitions create a first and second row of elongated channels. Each channel in the first row is bounded on two sides by two partitions and on two other sides by the first and second walls. Each channel in the second row is bounded on two sides by two partitions and on two other sides by the second and third walls. The first row of channels is a fluid layer configured to allow heated or cooled fluid to pass through. The fluid layer is in thermal communication with the room. The second row of channels is an insulating vacuum layer, with a reduced pressure that is at least 20% less than atmospheric pressure.

An air purifier comprising at least one removable particulate filter, a fan or impeller and a motor for driving said fan or impeller, a top and, opposite thereto, a base and means for elevating said base from the ground, at least one side surface connecting said top and base, a base air intake disposed on said base and facing the ground in a working configuration a top air intake on said top and facing away from the ground in a working configuration and an air outlet located on said side surface.
