An electroless nickel-copper-phosphorous coating includes at least about 30% by weight Cu: about 5% to about 15% by weight P; and the balance Ni, with incidental impurities. The electroless nickel-copper-phosphorus coating exhibits antipathogenic properties and enhanced wear when deposited on a substrate.

The present invention relates to a puff sterilization patch and, particularly, to a puff sterilization patch which is manufactured in the form of a net or fabric by using yarns made of copper having sterilizing power and can be attached to a cosmetic container so as to sterilize a puff. To this end, the present invention comprises: a pad layer formed by weaving wefts and warps into a net, wherein the wefts mainly comprise yarns made of copper and are arranged at regular intervals, and the warps mainly comprise yarns made of a synthetic resin material and are arranged at regular intervals: and an adhesive layer provided on the underside surface of the pad layer.

The present disclosure provides a toilet seat including a rim; and a tab made from an antibacterial material and configured to be attached to the rim as a touch point for a user to open or close the toilet seat. The present disclosure provides a toilet including a toilet bowl; a toilet seat comprising a rim and pivotably attached to the toilet bowl; a toilet lid pivotably attached to the toilet bowl or the toilet seat; and a first tab made from an antibacterial material and configured to be attached to the toilet seat as a first touch point for a user to open or close the toilet seat.

An antimicrobial article includes a supporting layer and an antimicrobial layer. The antimicrobial layer has a first major surface at least partially formed by a plurality of particles and a second major surface coupled to the supporting layer. Each particle of the plurality of particles is formed by a bead of nonconductive material. A first set of the particles include beads coated by a first conductive material.

Standalone units and modules for providing purified air are described herein. The standalone units and the modules include antimicrobial protection as provided by one or more one antimicrobial elements being configured to receive the air from a filter and eradicate or remove small pathogens from the air to provide purified air. Methods of providing purified air are also described herein.

Despite the existence and deployment of a range of antimicrobial/disinfectant/sterilization technologies and products, transmission of infectious diseases remains a significant problem worldwide, continuing to cause hundreds of millions of infections and millions of deaths every year of both human beings and animals. State-of-the-art technologies suffer from several disadvantages including being discrete in space and time, being overly dependent on human skill and discipline, and in some cases having harmful side-effects to human health. This invention proposes a series of industrial grade antimicrobial product designs, and materials and methods to make them highly effective products that offer continuous antimicrobial action, with minimum dependence on human discipline and skill once deployed, and with no harmful side-effects.

An information processing system includes a processor configured to: acquire reservation information, the reservation information being information about a reservation of a booth; and make a determination regarding an improvement of an air environment by an improvement mechanism that improves the air environment provided inside the booth, on a basis of the acquired reservation information.

A toilet seat includes a rim; a tab made from an antibacterial material and configured to be attached to the rim as a touch point for a user to open or close the toilet seat; and a frame in a shape corresponding to the rim. The frame includes a groove configured to receive the tab. A toilet includes a toilet bowl; a toilet seat comprising a rim and pivotably attached to the toilet bowl; a toilet lid pivotably attached to the toilet bowl or the toilet seat; a first tab made from an antibacterial material and configured to be attached to the toilet seat as a first touch point for a user to open or close the toilet seat; and a first frame in a shape corresponding to the rim of the toilet seat. The first frame includes a first groove configured to receive the first tab.

A nanofiltration device for inactivating droplet-transmitted pathogens. The microdroplets are captured by filtering contaminated air on a filter material/paper with the nanofibrillated cellulose and/or nanocellulose surface treatment containing antiseptic metal ions and an adjuvant in the retained residual water. The air is sucked into the openings of the nanofiltration device located at the bottom and passes into the centre of the filter cartridge, in which a germicidal emitter emits radiation in the UV-C range of the electromagnetic wavelength spectrum is mounted. Subsequently, it flows through a filter paper containing salts of antiseptic metals, from the centre of the radiator outwards through a filter paper hermetically inserted into the filter cartridge, folded harmoniously-shaped so that its surface is maximally and entirely irradiated with UV-C radiation. Antiseptic ions diffuse into the contaminated microdroplets which with UV-C radiation deactivate viruses and disinfect bacteria. Subsequently, the droplets dry out, and the deactivated viruses and bacteria are carried away by air, which, with the help of adjuvants, receive the human body and increase the population's immunity.

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing an antibacterial cover window. The method includes a first step of preparing a substrate, a second step of forming a mask pattern on the substrate through a patterning process, a third step of forming an antibacterial layer on the substrate on which the mask pattern is formed, and a fourth step of removing the mask pattern to obtain an antibacterial pattern formed on the substrate. Through the method, it is possible to produce a cover window with antibacterial patterns regularly and uniformly distributed over the entire area thereof. Thus, the cover window has long-lasting excellent antibacterial property over the entire area thereof.
