Abstract
The disclosed system comprises a primary air curtain system and one or more optional apparel and/or accessory air curtain subsystem components. The primary system and subsystem(s) are configured to create a directionally controlled air curtain effect that repulses, repels, redirects, neutralizes, and/or disperses airborne infectious pathogens, carcinogens, chemicals, and other contaminants away from the body of a user or a surface susceptible to foreign contamination within a protected enclosure.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . An anti-pathogenic residential structure primary system comprising:
an anti-pathogenic enclosure comprising at least one opening designed to facilitate ingress and/or egress and at least one mass expulsion device located within the enclosure; a primary communication device, the primary communication device in communication with the at least one mass expulsion device; at least one portable subsystem mass expulsion device in communication with the primary communication device; and a bio-sensor located proximate to the at least one exit, the bio-sensor configured to detect at least one pathogen, bacteria, carcinogen, or allergen, the bio-sensor employing a contaminant identifier, the contaminant identifier comprising a DNA signature or a biological profile, the bio-sensor being further configured to communicate with the primary communication device; whereby a person requesting entry into the residential structure is prompted to voluntarily expel respiratory air by blowing or coughing onto or within the bio-sensor, the bio-sensor detecting the presence or absence of a contaminant, the detection results being communicated to the primary communication device or to a communicative extension of the primary system for manual or automated determination of entry by a home owner or building structure custodian, wherein the communicative extension comprises a vehicle, cell phone, tablet, or portable computer.
2 . The anti-pathogenic residential structure primary system of claim 1 further comprising a motion sensitive monitoring system located proximate the bio-sensor, the monitoring system configured to communicate an audio-visual feed of a person requesting entry to a remote access device.
3 . An anti-pathogenic medical structure primary system comprising:
an anti-pathogenic enclosure comprising at least one opening designed to facilitate ingress and/or egress and at least one mass expulsion device located within the enclosure; a primary communication device, the primary communication device in communication with the at least one mass expulsion device; at least one portable subsystem mass expulsion device in communication with the primary communication device; and a bio-sensor located proximate to the at least one exit, the bio-sensor configured to detect at least one pathogen, bacteria, carcinogen, or allergen, the bio-sensor employing a contaminant identifier, the contaminant identifier comprising a DNA signature or a biological profile, the bio-sensor being further configured to communicate with the primary communication device; whereby a person requesting entry into the medical structure is prompted to voluntarily expel respiratory air by blowing or coughing onto or within the bio-sensor, the bio-sensor detecting the presence or absence of a contaminant, the detection results being communicated to the primary communication device or to a communicative extension of the primary system for manual or automated determination of entry by a building structure custodian, wherein the communicative extension comprises a vehicle, cell phone, tablet, or portable computer.
4 . The anti-pathogenic medical structure primary system of claim 3 further comprising a motion sensitive monitoring system located proximate the bio-sensor, the monitoring system configured to communicate an audio-visual feed of a person requesting entry to a remote access device.
5 . The anti-pathogenic medical structure primary system of claim 3 wherein the bio-sensor is located within a shared enclosure, the shared enclosure being attached to or integrated with the anti-pathogenic enclosure; and wherein the shared enclosure further includes at least one of a visual component, a digital receiver, a digital transmitter, and a contaminant receiver, and at least one contaminant profile relay program.
6 . An anti-pathogenic bed system comprising:
a bed; and at least one mass export system, the mass export system designed to expel air from a protected area in at least one direction, wherein the protected area is configured to contain at least one person, animal, or organism, wherein the direction of the expelled air is adjustably controlled.
7 . The anti-pathogenic bed system of claim 6 , wherein the mass export system comprises one or more import export vent cylinders.
8 . The anti-pathogenic bed system of claim 6 , further comprising a bio-sensor.
9 . The anti-pathogenic bed system of claim 6 , further comprising an ion emitter configured to emit ions from at least one opening integrated within the bed structure, for the purpose of neutralizing contaminants.
10 . The anti-pathogenic bed system of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the one or more import export vent cylinders are detachable from the bed system, and wherein the detachable vent systems are able to be remotely configured as barrier pylon devices at various locations around the bed, allowing the protected area around the bed to be expanded or decreased.
11 . An anti-pathogenic infant car seat system comprising:
an infant car seat; and at least one mass export system, the mass export system designed to expel air from a protected area in at least one direction, wherein the protected area is configured to contain at least one infant, wherein the direction of the expelled air is adjustably controlled.
12 . The anti-pathogenic infant car seat system of claim 11 , wherein the mass export system comprises one or more import export vent cylinders.
13 . The anti-pathogenic infant car seat system of claim 11 , further comprising a bio-sensor.
14 . The anti-pathogenic infant car seat system of claim 11 , further comprising an ion emitter configured to emit ions from at least one opening integrated within the car seat structure, for the purpose of neutralizing contaminants.
15 . The anti-pathogenic infant car seat system of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the one or more import export vent cylinders are detachable from the car seat system, and wherein the detachable vent systems are able to be remotely configured as barrier pylon devices at various locations around the car seat, allowing the protected area around the car seat to be expanded or decreased.
16 . An anti-pathogenic infant bassinet system comprising:
an infant bassinet; and at least one mass export system, the mass export system designed to expel air from a protected area in at least one direction, wherein the protected area is configured to contain at least one infant, wherein the direction of the expelled air is adjustably controlled.
17 . The anti-pathogenic infant bassinet system of claim 16 , wherein the mass export system comprises one or more import export vent cylinders.
18 . The anti-pathogenic infant bassinet system of claim 16 , further comprising a bio-sensor.
19 . The anti-pathogenic infant bassinet system of claim 16 , further comprising an ion emitter configured to emit ions from at least one opening integrated within the bassinet structure, for the purpose of neutralizing contaminants.
20 . The anti-pathogenic infant bassinet system of claim 17 , wherein at least one of the one or more import export vent cylinders are detachable from the bassinet system, and wherein the detachable vent systems are able to be remotely configured as barrier pylon devices at various locations around the bassinet, allowing the protected area around the bassinet to be expanded or decreased.
21 . An anti-pathogenic autonomous, electric, or standard vehicle system comprising:
a vehicle; at least one bio sensor configured to detect the presence or probability of airborne pathogens or contaminants proximate to or within at least one specified area in which humans, animals, or other living organisms are subject to anti-pathogenic deterrence; and a vehicle communication system configured to receive a signal from the at least one bio sensor, wherein the signal identifies a detected pathogen or contaminant; whereby upon detection of a pathogen or contaminant by at least the one bio sensor, the presence of the detected pathogen or contaminant is communicated to the vehicle.
