The Pavilion Sleeping Station (PSS) is a sleeping station based on a queen bed currently investigated as an alternative to the previously evaluated DIVAN sleeping station.  The research into the DIVAN sleeping station has been put on hold effective August 26, 2024 but may be resumed after April 20, 2025.
Previous experiments with the DIVAN indicate that a multi-layer structure above the sleeping area is desired for better shielding from ADRES.  This finding was confirmed during the initial PSS single layer all metal "roof" design stage (as shown in Fig. 1 which is not recommended).
The general structure and the ongoing progress in the design of the PSS is illustrated in Fig. 2 through 6 below.  The PSS is being designed to contain multiple layers of metal and non-metal roof shielding.  As can be seen the PSS consists of an elevated mattress on a metal frame (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3), layers of bottom (Fig. 5) and top (Fig. 6) metal shielding above the mattress and below the bed box frame, and a removable elevated sleeping area containing a twin mattress (Fig. 4).  Further shielding and structural improvements are currently being experimented with.
Two sleeping configurations are currently being evaluated: (1) with the sleeping area elevated from the ground as shown in Fig. 6 and 4, and (2) with the sleeping area located on the floor under the PSS.  The initial results suggest that the PSS is capable of some reduction in the ADRES exposure.  The larger surface area of the PSS compared to DIVAN appears to result in better shielding from ADRES even when the sleeping area is located on the floor under the PSS (as opposed to the elevated sleeping area of the PSS).  Further tests and refinements of the PSS are underway to establish the optimum configurations.  The current findings consistent with the previous DIVAN test results indicate that better shielding requires a (1) multi-layer metal and non-metal structure, (2) the reduction and/or elimination of gaps in the protective metal dome structures, and (3) larger surface area of the shielding surfaces compared to the room occupied.  Observations also suggest that the influx of fresh outside air reduces the severity of ADRES exposure.

The ADRES effects experienced by the AP conducted with the sleeping area elevated (as shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 6) were comparable to the previous observations in the DIVAN until after a fresh air test was conducted.  The fresh air test was carried out by opening the two windows at the back of the sleeping station visible in Fig. 1 through 5, and opening the third window (visible at the right in Fig. 1 through 4) about 4 inches (10 cm) wide.  This test was conducted when the nightly temperatures where in the vicinity of 32℉ (0℃) with the apartment heater running and the door to the bedroom with the sleeping station closed which resulted in a significant influx of fresh air with a high degree of circulation and intermixing inside of the apartment by the built in apartment "forced head" unit.
Once in the sleeping station during the fresh air test the following effects were experienced.  The ADRES vibrational cloud felt being induced in the feet had an unusually low frequency (only several Hz) and the highest amplitude (as much as ~10 cm) ever observed.  A similar effect though not as pronounced was previously observed in the DIVAN after the metal shielding was improved.  Shortly after that a formation of some matter was felt by the AP within the regions where the spacial vibrations were experienced
In general, the current shielding efficiency of the elevated sleeping area of the PSS proved inadequate for proper sleeping.  Observations suggest that elevating the sleeping area results in harsher ADRES exposure though the sleeping surface.  Although the elevated sleeping area tests carried out so far did not include an outside air ventilation system.
The fresh air tests conducted in the PSS suggested the need to equip the PSS with an outside air ventilation system which is described further on this page.
Initial floor sleeping area tests where conducted when the PSS setup looked similar to the one depicted in Fig. 6 (sleeping area not shown) with very limited side shielding.  Nonetheless the shielding demonstrated was superior to that with the elevated sleeping area (see Fig. 4 and 6).  Shortly after moving the sleeping area to the floor the severity of ADRES exposure went down, and observations where made which suggested that the effective use of the remote sensing pulse was temporarily hindered.  Namely, the remote sensing pulse which would typically be felt hitting the back side of the head would terminate at the upper back instead, or appear to be arriving from the ground towards the side of the head.  Eventually the intensity of the ADRES exposure experienced while sleeping on the floor went up to an uncomfortable level and additional side shielding had to be attempted (as can be seen in Fig. 7) though the full metal panel coverage does not appear optimal at the moment.  it was also noticed that on the days when the windows were closed or partially opened and the forced heat unit was on the intensity of ADRES effects intensified with an increased perception of matter present and moving around the body with a perceived capability to penetrate and build up in the tissue.
The tests conducted so far suggest that a sleeping area located on the floor may be more effective than an elevated sleeping area if a large surface area protective dome is used, and the sleeping area is well ventilated with outside air.  Although it should be pointed out that an elevated sleeping area with a forced outside air ventilation has not been tested yet.
As a next step a ventilation system based on a Bissell air400 air purifier was implemented for the PSS as shown in Fig. 7 and 8.  As can be seen the ventilation approach includes taking in air from outside (Fig. 8) and forcing it into the PSS.  The idea behind this approach is to create a constant light fresh outside air airflow through the PSS to reduce the amount of ADRES matter in the vicinity of the body.   The Affected Person reports a substantial reduction in the severity of ADRES exposure after the ventilation system has been implemented and believes that this approach also resulted in the reduction of the ADRES severity in other parts of the research site apartment.  It should be pointed out that the entire metal panel covering shown in Fig. 7 does not appear optimal from the ventilation stand point and seems to have caused a perception of electric charge being present inside of the PSS once implemented.
Even though the shielding used in PSS and the ventilation approach do not block the ADRES from entering the PSS, the ventilation approach appears to be one of the most effective ADRES severity reduction techniques implemented to date.   In contrast to the approach used in Fig. 7, preliminary tests suggest a gap between the metal panels and the floor at the bottom of the PSS would improve airflow and make ADRES effects less severe.   Further shielding improvements are planned once/if the ADRES phenomenon is better understood.
Due to a larger available inside space of the PSS compared to DIVAN, the PSS is also suitable for an installation of a small protected work desk area.
