AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing ventilation and purification devices fail to control the origin of air breathed by individuals, particularly in confined spaces like beds, and do not adequately protect against airborne contaminants, especially for sensitive individuals.
Method used
A system comprising a headboard with an air flow outlet and inlet, a conduit, and an air treatment module that generates laminarized airflow through a porous surface to create a controlled breathing zone, minimizing turbulence and mixing with ambient air.
Benefits of technology
The system effectively creates a localized, clean air breathing zone with controlled airflow, reducing exposure to contaminants and allowing for personalized air treatment options such as oxygen adjustment and scent injection.

Abstract
An apparatus is provided for removing airborne contaminants from a defined space above a bed. The apparatus includes a headboard having an air flow outlet adjacent to the defined space and an air flow inlet incorporated into the bed or the headboard outside of the defined space. The apparatus then provides a conduit for transporting air from the inlet to the outlet, an air treatment module within or adjacent the conduit for extracting air-borne contaminants from air transported from the air flow inlet to the air flow outlet, and an air flow generator within or adjacent the conduit for generating air flow between the air flow inlet and the air flow outlet. The air flow outlet then has a plenum within the headboard, and the plenum deposits air into the defined space through an outlet area having a porous surface, the outlet area being otherwise substantially unobstructed.
