Publication number: 20230167995Abstract: A system and method for obtaining environmental data—namely air quality information—from various devices contained within a structure is disclosed herein. The various devices contain sensors that can obtain environmental data, which is then analyzed by the system to determine if any level of a component within the data is outside of a predefined threshold range. If the system determines that the level of the component is outside of the predefined threshold range for that given component, the system will carry out certain steps in order to bring the level within the predetermined threshold range. These steps include selecting the appropriate appliance and the proper operating conditions to most efficiently bring the level back within the predetermined threshold range. Once the system has determined that the level is back within the predetermined threshold range, the system will instruct the selected appliance to turn OFF.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2021Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Richard R. Sinur, Kyle Anderson, Jeremy Yingst, Eric Theriault, Loic Ares, Jason Asmus, Seddik Rougab

Publication number: 20230031687Abstract: According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a ventilation system includes at least one user directed component and a plurality of sensors configured to detect a plurality of control gestures within a gesture field designated for presentation of control gestures by a user. The ventilation system may further be configured such that a control gesture of the plurality of control gestures is presented within the gesture field for detection of said control gesture by the plurality of sensors, and the plurality of sensors recognizes the control gesture as corresponding to an operation of the at least one user directed component. The ventilation system may still further include a controller for polling the plurality of sensors and converting a recognized control gesture to a command signal for operating the at least one user directed component.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Richard R. Sinur, Jason Asmus, Elizabeth Egbers
