  • Publication number: 20240024813
    Abstract: Methods and systems described perform air cleaning and/or sanitization in a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and/or refrigeration (HVACR) system by detecting a concentration of airborne contaminants in a space serviced by the HVACR system. The detected concentration of airborne contaminants is determined whether it exceeds a threshold relative to a capacity of a first air cleaner. When the detected concentration of airborne contaminants exceeds the threshold, a second air cleaner is selected and enabled to be activated in the space. When the detected concentration of airborne contaminants does not exceed the threshold, the first air cleaner is selected and enabled to be activated in the space. The first air cleaner has a cleaning material different from the second air cleaner, and the first air cleaner, relative to the second air cleaner, treats the space at a lower concentration of airborne contaminants. The second air cleaner includes specifically designed cleaner modules.

  • Publication number: 20230278398
    Abstract: A method of minimizing C-Rate fluctuations with an electrically powered accessory (EPA) is disclosed. The EPA is configured to be used with at least one of a vehicle, a trailer, and a transport container that has a first controller. The EPA has a second controller. The method includes determining, by the first controller, a first C-Rate of a Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS). Also, the method includes comparing the first C-Rate to a first predetermined threshold. The method also includes when the first C-Rate exceeds the first predetermined threshold, the first controller sending a first request to the second controller to adjust a load of the EPA. The method further includes the second controller determining a first operational mode of the EPA based on the first request. Also the method includes when the first operational mode of the EPA allows a load change, the second controller adjusting the load of the EPA.

  • Publication number: 20230211039
    Abstract: An air sanitizer unit that includes a housing, a substrate, and a light source. The substrate is provided in an interior space of the housing and includes at least one photocatalytic coating on at least one surface that extends along a flow path of airflow through the air sanitizer unit. The light source is disposed within the interior space of the housing in a way such that light produced by the light source activates the at least one photocatalytic coating to purify the airflow. Further, the substrate includes channels for allowing airflow there through, in which a substrate structure defining the channels include the photocatalytic coating and the substrate structure defining the channels is configured such that microbes in the airflow are captured on the least one photocatalytic coating at low airflow rates, in which the low airflow rates are airflow rates less than 20 air changes per hour.

  • Publication number: 20230049791
    Abstract: A federated-data-room server manages information about a collection of electronic documents residing elsewhere (under different organizational/customer control). The server can anchor documents to a blockchain, record usage history of each document, and provide access to the documents for authorized users. As a result, the federated-data-room server operates on customers' data, while leaving the data in control of the customers. At the same time, the federated-data-room server provides data access and enables traceability via blockchain recordation of document identifiers and document hash values.

  • Publication number: 20220309479
    Abstract: A computer system processes a digital representation of an illiquid asset, to confirm accuracy of the digital representation and value of the asset, and generates an asset-information table indicating where the various sections of the digital representation are stored. The system also generates an asset-value token, financial-return tokens, and a data structure that includes a self-executing program. The program associates the asset-value token with the financial-return tokens, so that the illiquid asset becomes a collateral for a decentralized loan transaction implemented using blockchain technology. The use of blockchain technology for decentralized loan transactions enables immutable data traceability.

  • Publication number: 20220305881
    Abstract: A method for purifying air within a space is provided. The method includes a controller determining whether an ON signal is received. Upon determining that the ON signal is received, the controller instructs an air sanitizer of an air sanitization system to turn ON to purify an airflow passing through the air sanitization system, and instructs an air movement fan/blower to operate in order to direct the airflow into the space. Upon determining that the ON signal is not received, the controller instructs the air movement fan/blower and the air sanitizer to be OFF.
