  • Publication number: 20260126194
    Abstract: An air ventilation system for an indoor space includes an air processing unit that includes a housing that receives air from the indoor space and discharges treated air, a microbial deactivation channel provided within the housing and defining a serpentine pathway that causes the air to navigate one or more directional changes as it circulates through the housing, and one or more ultraviolet (UV) light sources arranged within the microbial deactivation channel to emit UV light that impinges on and disinfects the air. One or more light reflection features are provided on one or more interior surfaces of the microbial deactivation channel, the one or more light reflection features comprising flat, mirror-like structures that receive and redirect the UV light within the microbial deactivation channel.

  • Patent number: 12611063
    Abstract: An expandable glove cartridge belt includes a first planar strip of flexible material including one or more first tabs, and a first section of a fastening system for securing a glove to the expandable glove cartridge belt, and a second planar strip of flexible material including one or more second tabs overlapping at least a portion of the one or more first tabs, and a second section of the fastening system positioned laterally adjacent the first section such that a gap is defined therebetween. The expandable glove cartridge belt is transitionable between a relaxed state, where the gap is minimal, and an expanded state, where the first planar strip moves relative to the second planar strip such that a size of the gap grows.

  • Patent number: 12414658
    Abstract: A glove application system includes a mounting bracket that provides an access aperture, and a glove cartridge assembly mountable to the mounting bracket and including a cartridge belt having a plurality of glove cartridges spaced along the cartridge belt, each glove cartridge having a glove releasably secured to the cartridge belt with a fastening system. The glove cartridge assembly is operable to advance the cartridge belt and sequentially align each glove cartridge with the access aperture. Extending a hand through the access aperture installs a glove from an aligned glove cartridge on the hand and simultaneously releases the glove from the cartridge belt.

  • Publication number: 20240377098
    Abstract: A ventilation system for an interior space includes an air handling unit that moves air through the interior space and a return duct extending therefrom and having a return opening proximate to a floor of the interior space. The ventilation system also includes at least one perforated panel arranged beneath a ceiling of the interior space and a plenum defined between the ceiling and the at least one perforated panel, wherein the supply air outlet is in communication with the plenum to distribute air within the plenum and pressurize the plenum, such that air flow is induced through the at least one perforated panel as a high volume and low turbulence blanket of air that descends through the interior space and is received by the return opening in the return duct for recirculation through the air handling unit.

  • Patent number: 11964541
    Abstract: A ventilation system for a vehicle having a cabin includes a segmented plenum comprising a plurality of sub-plenums that are disposed above the cabin, a perforated panel defining the ceiling of the cabin and having plurality of perforations for air communication of the plenum with the cabin, and ductwork including one or more upper main ducts, lower main ducts, vertical ducts, and seat return ducts. The ducts communicate with each other to convey air, descending from the segmented plenum through the perforated panel as a high volume, low turbulence blanket of air through the cabin, back to the segmented plenum. The ventilation system also includes an air processing unit (APU) in communication with the ductwork and operable to sterilize the air conveyed therein, and one or more fans for circulating the air in the ventilation system.

  • Patent number: 11350801
    Abstract: A glove application system includes a glove application module providing a housing that defines an install cavity and an access aperture providing access into the install cavity, a pressure system that generates negative and positive pressures in the install cavity, and a glove cartridge assembly mounted to the housing and including a cartridge belt having a plurality of glove cartridges spaced along the cartridge belt, each glove cartridge having a glove releasably secured to the cartridge belt. The glove cartridge assembly is operable to advance the cartridge belt to sequentially align each glove cartridge with the access aperture. Negative pressure generated by the pressure system causes a glove aligned with the access aperture to inflate into the install cavity, and positive pressure generated by the pressure system causes the glove to seat against a hand extended into the glove through the access aperture.
