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).

Like at the VI! Between the bar and the back room! Usually only encountered by Peeps when on their way to the bathroom in the back corner!

They seem to be refered to as either "Air Curtains" or "Air Doors" by the industry.
