Abstract: A chair comprises a seat pan member, a seat back member having a lumbar support member, a lumbar support assembly operatively connected to the lumbar support member and configured for moving the lumbar support member, with respect to the seat pan member and the seat back member, between at least a first position and a second position, and an actuator configured to operate the lumbar support assembly for movement of the lumbar support member between at least the first position and the second position. When the lumbar support member is in the second position, the lumbar support member is positioned forwardly, in a direction toward the seated user's lower back, relative to the seat back member so as to enable the user to be seated forwardly on the seat pan member while being engaged with the lumbar support member.

Abstract: An air purifying system includes an air purifier mechanism, a controller, and a sensing device. The sensing device is configured to measure an air quality parameter of the air entering the housing via the air inlet to generate inlet air quality data, and to measure an air quality parameter of the purified air exiting the housing via the air outlet to generate outlet air quality data. The controller is configured to: receive the inlet air quality data and the outlet air quality data, compare the inlet air quality data and the outlet air quality data with their corresponding predetermined threshold ranges, and determine an action to be taken.

Abstract: An air purifier system includes at least one air purifier and a portable user interface device. The user interface device for positioning at a remote location from the at least one air purifier and wirelessly communicated to a controller of at least one of the air purifiers. The user interface device includes a sensor configured to measure an air quality parameter in an area proximate the user interface device for transmission of the air quality parameter to the controller of the at least one of the air purifiers via wireless communication; and a user interface comprising (a) a display for displaying data including at least air quality data from the sensor and (b) a user input control for the user to change one or more functional parameters of the at least one of the air purifiers via the wireless communication.

Abstract: A chair includes a seat pan member, a movement support frame, and at least two movement support members operatively connected to the seat pan member and the movement support frame. The at least two movement support members are configured to support the seat pan member in a floating manner for dynamic movement with respect to the movement support frame in at least one degree of freedom in a horizontal seating plane.
