Electrolux USA established, and has operated as a Smithsonian-honored company since then. In keeping with the companies focus on innovation and market leading technology the Smithsonian Institute recognised the Model 30 canister vacuumn as one fo the top 100 US products ever produced.
— Early 1990s
NASA-funded Wisconsin Center for Space Automation and Robotics (WCSAR) begins solving for problem of built-up ethylene gas around plants grown in the closed environment of spacecraft, which caused premature plant decay and spoilage. Photo Catalytic Oxidation (PCO) technology is discovered. PCO technology provided the ability to destroy Volitile Organic Compounds (VOCs) such as ehtylene at significant rates without the need to introduce outdoor air into an environment. The VOC’s are converted to harmless carbon dioxixde and water molecules.
— 1995
WCSAR team created a device that was successfully flown and operated on Space Shuttle Columbia. The device underwent stringent testing to be approved for the Space Shuttle with the technology proving itself during the mission.

Breathe easy with cleaner air and surfaces.
Portable surface and air purifiers with ActivePure® Technology pull free oxygen and water molecules in the air through ActivePure®’s patented honeycomb matrix. The technology creates powerful oxidizers, known as ActivePure® Molecules, that are then released back into the room, where they seek and destroy DNA and RNA viruses including SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus), Swine Flu (H1N1), Avian Bird Flu (H5N8), Hepatitis A (HAV) and MS2 bacteriophage, regardless of their size, on surfaces and in the air.
