A sleep system is provided that aids in achieving a sleep goal through the control of an environment near a person. The sleep system includes a processor capable of executing instructions used for controlling one or more aspects of the environment and a memory capable of holding the instructions. Upon executing the instructions, the sleep system receives a sleep goal for the person that includes varying the nearby environment. The processor may further execute instructions to create settings that vary at least one environmental condition of the environment over time as it relates to one or more cycles of a sleep architecture for the person. Varying at least one environmental condition near the person experiencing one or more cycles of the sleep architecture influences the quality of the person's sleep. The sleep system may further adjust at least one environmental condition in the vicinity of the person in accordance with the sleep architecture for the person. |

There is a growing need for safe methods to insulate sleeping people from intrusive environmental noises so that they can get a decent night's sleep. This invention solves the problem of how to provide a sleeping enclosure with a high degree of insulation against environmental noises while also providing assured ventilation within the enclosure. It features an active ventilation means and a passive ventilation means that are physically linked so that there is always one of them providing ventilation. This linkage combines the superior sound-insulating properties of active ventilation (such as a longer air conduit for reduced intrusion of environmental noises into the enclosure) with the superior safety properties of passive ventilation (such as not being vulnerable to power failure or mechanical failure). |

A sleeping bag having a mattress comprising a bottom insulating water-proof layer, which rests upon ground or camping surface. The mattress further includes a material filled layer attached to the top mattress surface. The sleeping bag is made with an inflatable canopy for further protecting a user, or to permit the mattress to be integrated within a tent. The canopy is inflated by means of introducing air into air tubes configured and integrated into the canopy. The inflatable canopy, optionally, has a vestibule for storing or keeping items for the user of the sleeping bag. The sleeping bag has a canopy, which may be drawn over the mattress to enclose a sleeper using the sleeping bag. The canopy is attached to the mattress by two-way zippers operable the full circumference of the mattress. The two way zippers and mattress are configured to attach and include the mattress within the tent. The canopy that deploys by means of two air tubes that, when inflated, causes the canopy to arch over a user reclining upon the mattress. The vestibule may be made so that inflation of the canopy also causes the vestibule, when attached, to deploy and inflate to receive objects for storage. |

A head-side inflow/outflow unit (60) and a foot-side inflow/outflow unit (70), which have a respective outlet opening (61, 71) for providing a supply of conditioned air to a sleeping compartment (11) within a capsule main body (20) and a respective inlet opening (62, 72), associated with the outlet opening (61, 71), for drawing in internal air of the sleeping compartment (11), are provided. The air-conditioning capacity of conditioned air supplied through each of the outlet openings (61, 71) is controlled such that the temperature of conditioned air supplied through the outlet opening (61) of the head-side inflow/outflow unit (60) falls below the temperature of conditioned air supplied through the outlet opening (71) of the foot-side inflow/outflow unit (70). In the head-side inflow/outflow unit (60), the inlet opening (62) is situated below the outlet opening (61), while on the other hand in the foot-side inflow/outflow unit (70) the inlet opening (72) is situated above the outlet opening (71), thereby producing flow of an air current causing a short-circuit between the outlet opening (61, 71) and the inlet opening (62, 72). |

An isolation enclosure is provided for isolating a person to an area about a bed, wherein the bed is adapted to support the person and includes a frame and a mattress overlying the frame. The isolation enclosure comprises a frame adapted to surround the bed; and a canopy connectable to the frame and defining an isolation chamber sealed with respect to the ambient atmosphere. The isolation chamber extends over the frame of the bed and is sufficiently large to allow a person located within the isolation chamber to be supported on the bed and to move freely within the isolation chamber. The canopy includes a base wall adapted to either (i) overly the mattress of the bed, and (ii) lie between the mattress and the frame of the bed. A frame transport device, such as wheels, casters, or sliders, is mounted on the frame and adapted to transport the frame and canopy in cooperation with the bed to thereby transport a patient supported on the bed and located within the isolation chamber. An environmental control device is connectable in fluid communication with the isolation chamber and includes (i) a filter adapted to filter air entering and filter air exiting the isolation chamber, and (ii) a pump adapted to pump air into the isolation chamber to increase the pressure within the isolation chamber relative to the ambient atmosphere, and pump air out of the isolation chamber to decrease the pressure within the isolation chamber relative to the ambient atmosphere. |

A system, apparatus, and method is provided for isolating a patient from the surrounding environment by providing an enclosure that defines a isolated patient environment separate from the surrounding environment. The system includes a patient support base and an elongated walled enclosure having a periphery that is engageable with the patient support base. Further, the walled enclosure includes an operable accessway for accessing a portion of the patient while in the isolated patient environment. Preferably, the operable accessway is positioned in the walled enclosure such that the patient's head is accessible while the patient is in the isolated patient environment. In another application, the walled enclosure is made from disposable material and also is pressure-equalizing between the isolated patient environment and the surrounding environment. |
