The apparatus and method provide an airflow to a person or group of persons or a space such as within an airplane cabin or cockpit, operating in conjunction with an air supply which produces a high velocity air stream, such as an aircraft gasper (14). Existing systems may filter, purify and/or clean the air supplied to the occupant, and the air exiting the personal air outlet may be adjusted to a relatively high velocity. The narrow, high velocity stream of air forms a turbulent boundary layer, which tends to entrain potentially foul air from the surrounding region and directs it towards the passenger. The airflow from the apparatus and method may have reduced velocity and lower thermal and humidity gradient and may be treated to remove locally-originating contaminants. The apparatus includes a housing which receives a primary stream of air, such as from an aircraft gasper (14) or personal air outlet. A secondary inlet (17) into the housing admits ambient air into the housing interior A mixing chamber (30) within the housing receives the primary air stream and captures its momentum to entrain ambient air entering the housing through the secondary inlet. The combined streams are discharged, typically towards an occupant of the cabin. The ambient air may be treated before or after it is entrained so as to remove or disable pathogens or other air contaminants including gases and particles, or the ambient air may be drawn from a source distant from sources of air contamination and/or undesirable thermal conditions.

Provided are a method and apparatus for data sharing based on an individual environment setup. An access control unit authenticates the user having requested a data object, and extracts the individual environment setup of the user. The individual environment setup includes a list of data objects possessed by the user and access information on each data object in the list. A service unit acquires the data object requested from a distributed file system unit using the individual environment setup, and provides the requested data object to the user.

A method for enhancing business results while simultaneously improving workplace flexibility for employees. Both objectives are achieved by continuously monitoring business parameters and modifying work processes using results-focused techniques, while concurrently using the same techniques to tailor workplace flexibility needs to ever-changing work and personal environments. Use of the method results in the synergistic accomplishment of workplace productivity and efficiency objectives, along with enhanced employee morale, retention, and job satisfaction, as well as work team cohesion, effectiveness, and engagement. The skills learned can then be used in other endeavors, such as for personal development, family management, and community leadership.

The invention discloses a real-time environmental quality monitoring and evaluation system based on a mobile phone back clip, a mobile phone and application software thereof.

Objects that interact with a user at a visceral level when the object comes within the user's personal environment. The objects detect a user's visceral behavior, for example breathing pattern or perspiration. In response to the visceral behavior the object simulates a behavior of a living entity such as breathing, or produces an output to which the user responds viscerally, such as an electric field. The form of the output or simulated behavior is determined by the visceral behavior. The output or simulated behavior may be modified to guide the user's visceral behavior, for example by first synchronizing simulated breathing to the user's breathing and then slowing down while the user's breathing is entrained to the simulated breathing. One such object has a skin that is warm to the touch, and simulates breathing with a breathing sound. Another such object produces electric fields like electric fields of the heart. A further such object simulates a purring sound in response to the user's breathing: the form of the purring also depends on sounds in the environment.
