Abstract: A method of purifying air polluted by smoke and fumes, such as from wildfires and other hazard, may deploy a series of fluid filled vessels that act as filters to trap and/or neutralize components that would foul an aqueous suspension of gold nanoparticles that is effective in converting toxic carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. Non-toxic fluids may be used. As the gold nanoparticles are effective in a basic solution, the solution may contain a visible pH indicator or an apparatus that deploys the method may continuously monitor the pH thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, displaying and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that enables multiple, alternate hierarchies to be organized, restructured and/or created based on the same set of assets, with each of the hierarchies being ontologically different and catering to wide variety of relationships that can exist between assets. The framework configures and displays a hierarchical representation of assets, along with various properties of each asset, within a dynamically generated and displayed interface. The framework's visualization and analysis can be modified in response to a request, where dependent on the type of request or type of action included in the request, a restructuring of a hierarchy or new generation of a hierarchy can be realized and displayed.
