  • Publication number: 20220072185
    Abstract: Enabling systems and methods for ultraviolet treatment of ambient air contaminants are disclosed. One disclosed example computing device includes a housing; a fan, a UV light source configured to emit UV light, and a baffle configured to slow air flow, wherein each is positioned within the housing; and wherein the UV treatment system is configured to: cause a movement of the fan that induces the air flow and moves contaminants through the baffle and around the UV light source; transmit an electrical signal to the UV light source to cause the UV light source to emit UV light in a first frequency range to generate a quantity of an oxidizing agent and in the second frequency range to eliminate or kill contaminants and reduce at least a portion of one or more undesirable byproducts; and expel the treated air out of the housing via the air flow pathway.

  • Patent number: 10110982
    Abstract: A cover for a wearable personal acoustic device includes a fabric cover shaped to receive and enclose a wearable personal acoustic device, and an identification tag, such as an RFID tag or optical tag, secured to the fabric cover. The fabric cover includes a stretchable material that is acoustically transparent. The fabric cover may include a closure mechanism that can provide an opening through which the wearable personal acoustic device is received or removed and a closed state in which the wearable personal acoustic device is enclosed by the fabric cover. The identification tag stores an identifier associated with the fabric cover and communicates with the wearable personal acoustic device through an identification reader. The identifier may be associated with a physical property of the fabric cover or an operational parameter of the wearable personal acoustic device. The operational parameter optionally is definable by a user.
