Abstract: An apparatus for providing pollution free air to an individual includes an enclosed or semi-enclosed space or compartment for surround or partially surrounding an individual's head or upper body to separate the individual from polluted air. A filter assembly and fan forcing polluted air through the filter assembly and into the enclosure. The filter assembly includes a first filter for removing relatively large particles such as sand or dust from the polluted air while a second HAPA filter removes airborne allergens before forcing non-polluted air into the enclosed or semi-enclosed space.

Abstract: A water supply system includes a main water tank and a sub-tank of smaller dimensions than the main tank for supplying hot and cold water for household use. The sub-tank is surrounded by a tubular coil of refrigerant in contact with the sub-tank, a layer of insulation and an outer wall for maintaining the insulation in place and protecting the tubular coil and sub-tank from being damaged. A water heater is disposed in or below a lower part of the tank and a three-way switch is provided for selecting heating or refrigeration during different seasons of the year.

Abstract: An airbag equipped garment and deployment system for a motorcycle rider includes an inflatable garment shaped member for encompassing an upper body of a motorcycle rider and a mass of compressed gas. The system includes a first sensor for detecting the separation of the rider from the motorcycle and a second sensor for detecting the tilt of the cycle and deploying the gas when the rider separates from the motorcycle or the tilt exceeds a pre-selected value. A separate sensor senses a collision for deployment of gas in the event of a collision while a separate sensor deactivates the system until the speed of the motorcycle has reached a predetermined speed.
