Does anyone know the name...

Of those "walls of air" used to divide spaces, usually to prevent heat or cold loss, or to prevent smoke from travelling? They're high-pressure air shooting down from the ceiling, and commonly encountered in public spaces (I know I've encountered them in some restaurants, grocery stores, and our public transit buildings).

Ah, yes, used for TB containment! (I just had to re-up my "TB safety training" despite not even working on main campus, let alone in actual health care work)
