A system for the treatment of microorganisms includes: a textile web having optical fibers in warp and/or weft woven with binding threads in warp and/or weft, each of the optical fibers having invasive alterations along the fiber and allowing the emission of light propagating in the fiber at these alterations; a light source arranged opposite one or both free ends of the optical fibers. The textile web includes metallic warp and/or weft threads woven with the binding threads, the metallic threads being based on a metal having a negative effect on the growth of microorganisms. The light source generates a light beam having at least one wavelength in the visible or ultraviolet spectrum.

A skin care device can include a body including a battery and a grip electrode electrically connected to the battery, and a head connected to one end of the body. The head includes a contact electrode electrically connected to the battery and configured to come in contact with a skin of a user, and at least one ultraviolet light source disposed inside the head to face the contact electrode. Further, the contact electrode includes a fastening part fastened to the head and having at least one hole formed therein to correspond to the at least one ultraviolet light source, and a plurality of contact protrusions protruding from a top surface of the fastening part.

The present invention relates to a hydrogen peroxide vapor generation device, a space sterilization apparatus including same, and a space sterilization method, including: an evaporation chamber which has a space formed therein, and includes a nozzle unit and a discharge port which are formed in an upper portion thereof; an evaporation unit which is formed in a lower inner portion of the evaporation chamber and equipped with a plurality of heating units and a hydrogen peroxide transfer pipe which are arranged in stack; and an air supply unit which is formed in a lower portion of the evaporation chamber and through which outside air is suctioned, discharged, and fed to the evaporation unit.

A system for eradicating pathogens is disclosed. A lamp is provided that emits a far-ultraviolet C (far-UVC) light generates an irradiation zone. A biometric sensor determines whether an individual is present in the irradiation zone. The biometric sensor signals a processor to determine whether the individual has been exposed to a threshold limit of far-UVC light. The processor determines whether the time an individual has been in the irradiation zone exceeds a threshold limit. If the individual has been in the irradiation zone a period of time exceeds the threshold, the lamp is deactivated. A pathogen detection sensor provides user feedback of the existence pathogens and signals the processor to terminate irradiation or provide user feedback to terminate irradiation. The system and method are included in a passenger compartment of a vehicle to eradicate pathogens on surfaces and aerosol. Threshold limits allow eradication while the vehicle is occupied.

An implantable medical instrument for use within a body includes a container that has an opening and holds a medicinal solution, and a soft portion that closes the opening. The medical instrument further includes a power receiver that receives power transmitted externally, and a light emitter that emits light by way of the power received by the power receiver. The light emitter includes at least one of a first light emitter that emits light having a center wavelength of 600 nm or more and 1100 nm or less, and a second light emitter that emits light having a center wavelength of 400 nm or more and 480 nm or less.

Systems and methods for robotic disinfection and sanitation of environments are disclosed herein. The robotic devices disclosed herein may detect and map locations of pathogens within environments. The robotic devices disclosed herein may utilize data from sensor units to sanitize objects using desired methods specified by operators. The robotic devices disclosed herein may sanitize environments comprising people.

A hand sanitization system, a sanitization machine, and hand coverings containing markings for use with the sanitization machine are disclosed. The hand sanitization machine is capable of sanitizing hand coverings that were traditionally disposed of after one use. The hand coverings may contain indicators that signal when they have been sterilized.

A semiconductor ultraviolet light emitting device package is provided. The semiconductor ultraviolet light emitting device package includes: a semiconductor ultraviolet light emitting device mounted on the first surface of the package substrate and configured to emit deep ultraviolet light including a wavelength in a range of 250 nm to 285 nm; a reflector disposed on the first surface of the package substrate to surround the semiconductor ultraviolet light emitting device, and including an inclined sidewall that defines an opening of the reflector, the semiconductor ultraviolet light emitting device disposed within the opening; and a light transmitting cover including a lower surface covering the opening and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface, wherein an antireflective layer is disposed on at least one from among the lower surface and the upper surface.
