Abstract: An isolation enclosure for isolating a human in the surrounding area of a bed with a mattress laid on its frame, allowing the human to move freely within the isolation chamber that extends above the bed frame. The canopy forms a sealed isolation chamber against external air, equipped with wheels, casters, sliders, etc., for transporting the support frame, canopy, and bed, thereby transferring the patient on the bed within the isolation chamber. The environmental control device can be connected to the isolation chamber, featuring a filter for filtering at least one of the incoming air to the isolation chamber and the outgoing air from the isolation chamber, and a pump for performing at least one of the operations of sending air into the isolation chamber to increase the pressure inside the chamber above the external air pressure, and extracting air to lower the pressure inside the chamber below the external air pressure.

Abstract: A method of operating a thermal storage system that includes one or more thermal storage tanks that include a tank body that defines a tank cavity configured to hold a tank thermal storage medium, and one or more ports. The thermal storage system also includes a heat exchanger assembly disposed in the tank cavity of the one or more thermal storage tanks and comprising a heat exchange coil connected to inlet and outlet lines that extend through at least one of the one or more ports of the thermal storage tank, the heat exchanger assembly configured to run a flow of working thermal storage medium through the one or more thermal storage tanks so that heat exchange occurs between the flow of working thermal storage medium and the tank thermal storage medium disposed within the tank cavities of the thermal storage tanks.

Abstract: A thermal storage system that includes one or more thermal storage tanks having a tank body that defines a tank cavity configured to hold a tank thermal storage medium; a heat exchanger assembly disposed in the tank cavity configured to run a flow of working thermal storage medium through the one or more thermal storage tanks so that heat exchange occurs between the flow of working thermal storage medium and the tank thermal storage medium; one or more cables that extend to one or more rooms of the building; and one or more heat exchange elements disposed within the one or more rooms configured to receive a flow of the working thermal storage medium from the one or more cables so that heat exchange occurs between the flow of the working thermal storage medium and an environment of the one or more rooms of the building.

Abstract: An isolation room system comprising a plurality of walls defining a first chamber; and including an air filtration system that pulls air from within at least the first chamber through a filter.

Abstract: An inductive heating adapter comprising a base portion that includes a planar first coil and a planar second coil. The inductive heating adapter further comprises an adapter portion that defines a curved cavity and includes a curved third coil that corresponds to the curved cavity, the adapter portion configured to hold a curved vessel within the curved cavity defined by the adapter portion. The inductive heating adapter further comprises an electrical connection between the base portion and the adapter portion. The base portion is configured to be disposed on a burner area of a stove top of an inductive stove with the curved vessel disposed within the curved cavity and the burner area of the inductive stove comprises a stove coil configured to wirelessly generate an electrical current in the base portion that causes inductive heating of the curved vessel disposed within the curved cavity.

Abstract: A system with one or more solar modules comprising a plurality of solar cells, each of the solar modules having a plurality of corrugations defined by a plurality of alternating elongated top channels and elongated bottom channels that extend between opposing ends along first parallel axes, the elongated bottom channels defined by first pairs of sidewalls extending from respective caps, and the elongated top channels defined by second sidewalls extending from respective bases.
