  • Patent number: 12415010
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a room air purification unit. The room air purification unit can comprise a filtration apparatus, a blower, a purification chamber, and an outer housing. The filtration apparatus can be configured to cause a filtration of air from a setting in which the room air purification unit is located when the air flows through the filtration apparatus. The blower can be configured to cause the air from the setting to flow through the filtration apparatus and into an inlet of the blower and to expel the air from an outlet of the blower. The purification chamber can be configured to receive the air from the blower and to cause a purification the air when the air flows through the purification chamber. The outer housing can enclose the filtration apparatus, the blower, and the purification chamber.

  • Publication number: 20240403998
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method may include receiving, by an operating system running on a computing device, first image data from a physical camera of the computing device, the operating system being associated with one or more applications. The method may include identifying, by the operating system, a virtual camera control to be performed on the first image data, the virtual camera control configured to represent a physical camera control of the physical camera. The method may include generating, by the operating system, manipulated image data based at least in part on the first image data and the identified virtual camera control. The method may include providing, by the operating system, at least a portion of the manipulated image data to a particular application of the one or more applications.

  • Publication number: 20220412586
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a diffuser air purification unit. The diffuser air purification unit can comprise a diffuser, a filtration chamber, a purification chamber, a blower, a housing, and a control module. The filtration chamber can be configured to receive air through the diffuser from an external setting in which the diffuser air purification unit is installed and to cause a filtration of the air when the air flows through the filtration chamber. The purification chamber can be configured to receive the air from the filtration chamber and to cause a purification of the air when the air flows through the purification chamber. The blower can be configured to intake the air from the external setting through the diffuser, the filtration chamber, and the purification chamber and to expel the air into the external setting. The housing can at least partially enclose the filtration chamber and the purification chamber.
