The discloser describes a respirator that uses a face mask connected to a wearable device through two air tubes. The wearable device has an air inlet assembly to pull in air from the environment, an exhaust assembly, and an oxygen tank with a regulator. The regulator receives oxygen from the oxygen tank, injects it into the air inlet assembly to be mixed with the air from the environment, and to be delivered into the face mask. The regulator uses a sensor to measure the oxygen pressure within the regulator and an airbag to maintain the pressure and amount of oxygen exiting the regulator. The airbag is inflated or deflated automatically or manually to control the oxygen pressure within the regulator. The exhaust assembly receives the contaminated air from interior of the mask and filter it before releasing to the environment.

Portable, lightweight, and wearable respirator

A face mask uses a neck hanger with axillary oxygen to facilitate the flow of filtered fresh air inside the face mask for inhaling. Neck hanger filters the fresh air from the environment mixes with oxygen that is stored in the neck hanger before releasing inside the face mask for inhaling. The neck hanger is a lightweight tube that houses fans, HEPA or ULPA filters, compressed oxygen, a regulator, and a battery with a control circuit. One fan sucks the air from the environment that after being filtered and mixed with oxygen is blown into the face mask through an air pipe that is attached to both the neck hanger and face mask. The exhaled air from interior of the mask is sucked by a second fan through another air pipe, then filtered and released into the environment.

Face mask with auxiliary oxygen

A face mask uses a neck hanger to facilitate the flow of filtered fresh air inside the face mask for inhaling. The neck hanger is a lightweight tube that has a U shape and hangs from the neck of a user. The neck hanger houses a fan with a filter at either side, and a battery with a controller circuit. Two flexible pipes connect the face mask to the neck hanger from either side. The neck hanger sucks the air from the environment using a fan and filters it before being blown into the face mask through a flexible pipe. The face mask's contaminated interior air through another flexible pipe is sucked be another fan and filtered by a filter before being released into the environment.

This application discloses an object control system (OCS) to control navigation of a moving vehicle when exiting from its own road or freeway to a new road or freeway. The new road or freeway is an underpass or overpass and have no physical junction with the moving vehicle's own road or freeway. The moving vehicles obtains its navigation information data from the IoT network it is registered with and a plurality of stationary objects near and in vicinity of an exit. The stationary objects during the time slots assigned to them by OCS transmit variety of information data that assist moving vehicle navigating to the right lane and exit. These stationary objects also provide an operation information data that is used in the new road or freeway in case the vehicle exits to a road or freeway that belongs to a new cell with different operation information data.

This application discloses a novel technique to calculate time of day (TOD) by a user equipment (UE) or an Internet of Things (IoT) device using location coordinates of the radio unit (RU) of an IoT network or another IoT. Once the UE (IoT device) receives location coordinates of the RU or another IoT device, using its own location coordinates can calculate the distance between the RU or another IoT device and the UE (IoT device). If the RU or another IoT device sends a time stamp which indicates TOD at its antenna port in its system information, or broadcast packet, then UE (IoT device) uses this time stamp and its distance from the RU or another IoT device to calculate its TOD.

The rise of the connected objects known as the 'Internet of Things' (IoT) will rival past technological marvels. This application discloses a novel cyber-attack mitigation technique for navigation and protection system of moving vehicles in cities, towns, country roads and freeways. The mitigation technique uses a signature stablished from all information data that received by navigation and protection system. The signature is based on a database table of fixed and variable data received by navigation and protection system (NPS). The NPS uses this signature database table to detect if a received data is valid and ignore it if identified as a cyber-attack.

In a contaminated environment with health threatening aerosol a helmet with transparent face shield as an alternative to mask can be used. The helmet protects the entire head of a person using a transparent shield that is knotted at the back of the neck. The helmet uses a fan to suck the environment air, filter it with an aerosol filter and releases the clean air into the interior of the helmet. The contaminated air inside the helmet is filtered and then the clean air is sucked by another fan and released to the environment. The fans are battery powered and their speed can be controlled using sensors and a controller.

Hygiene regulations and social distancing are very effective in blocking short distance infections. During the lockdown, the distance rules can usually be adhered to, but what happens when the actual lockdown is over and the people meet again in a confined space? Then additional effective and efficient protection is essential to stabilize infection rates. Since the viruses are spread by contact and droplet infection, technical devices are required that effectively intervene in the chain of infection and effectively block infection. An effective protection is the respiratory mask as known since 100 years. An alternative to mask is an aerosol protection system for various applications in environment. The protection system consists of adjustable air sucking device and air blowing device in different form factors based on application. The aerosol protection system uses either an air curtain or air shield to prevent the aerosol going from one side of the curtain or shield to the other side.
