Disclosed herein are a sterilization module and a sterilization system including the same. The sterilization module includes a light source emitting germicidal light to kill pathogens in living cells. The living cells may include living cells and the pathogens. In addition, the germicidal light may be light in a wavelength band capable of ensuring a viability of 70% or more for the normal cells and a viability of less than 70% for the pathogens.

Methods and systems are described for maintaining hygienic conditions in automatic teller machines by detecting whether or not a user is not in compliance with a hygienic standard. If a user is not in compliance, then the automatic teller machine may execute a hygienic action to cleanse the automatic teller machine. For example, the hygienic action may comprise automatically cleansing the automatic teller machine, disabling the automatic teller machine from service, transmitting a sanitation service request to an automatic teller machine provide, and/or initiating an alternative control scheme (e.g., voice controls, gesture-based controls, etc.) for the automatic teller machine.

A light system for suppressing a microbe having a photosensitive defense mechanism, said light system comprising a plurality of light sources comprising at least, a first light source configured for emitting a first light having a first wavelength suitable for photolyzing or otherwise inactivating the microbe; and a second light source configured for emitting a second light having a second wavelength, different from said first wavelength, suitable for disrupting said photosensitive defense mechanism; a controller for selectively powering said plurality of light sources in a plurality of modes to emit emitted light from said light system, said plurality of modes comprises at least a first mode and a second mode, wherein said emitted light is white light in at least one of said first mode or said second mode.

A movable curtain disinfection device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes frames installed on an upper portion of a support, spaced apart from each other to face each other, and configured to define a disinfection space for a curtain provided between the frames, rotary rollers provided so that a pair of rotary rollers thereof is mounted on an inner surface of each of the frames, the rotary rollers being configured to rotate so that the curtain passes through the disinfection space, rotary belts each configured to surround an outer portion of each of the pairs of rotary rollers, the rotary belts being configured to guide a movement of the curtain while rotating in conjunction with rotations of the rotary rollers, and disinfection modules disposed between the pairs of rotary rollers and configured to disinfect the curtain passing through the disinfection space.

A multifunctional light source assembly and a multifunctional desk lamp are disclosed. The multifunctional desk lamp includes a base assembly, a lamp head assembly, and a lamp arm assembly; one end of the lamp arm assembly is connected with the base assembly, and the other end is connected with and supports the lamp head assembly; the lamp head assembly is internally provided with the multifunctional light source assembly, the multifunctional light source assembly includes an illumination LED chip, a plant grow light LED chip and an ultraviolet LED chip. The illumination chip, the plant grow light chip and the ultraviolet chip are respectively connected to a controller, which respectively controls the three chips, through the on and off of currents, so that functions such as illumination for reading and writing, sterilization, plant growth assistance can be achieved.

A treatment system for debriding a treatment area of a tissue site and applying negative pressure is disclosed. In some embodiments, the treatment system may include an ultrasonic bubble generator fluidly coupled to a negative-pressure source, fluid source, and a dressing. Fluid may be drawn from the fluid source to the ultrasonic bubble generator, whereby micro-bubbles and ultrasonic waves may be generated in the fluid before the fluid is instilled to the dressing.

The disclosure relates to a sanitation and sanitization apparatus and methods for disinfecting a wearable equipment used in the catalyst reactor field including: a case having a first chamber and a second chamber; an internal assembly located within the first chamber of the case; a condenser within the internal assembly; an atomizer assembly within the internal assembly and connected to the condenser; a circulating pump within the internal assembly; an programmable logic controller configured to communicate with the condenser, atomizer, and circulating pump; and wherein the internal assembly has a housing containing the condenser, the atomizer assembly, the circulating pump, and the programmable logic controller; and a disinfectant port is defined on a side of the housing adjacent to the second chamber of the case.

A display apparatus, including a display panel; a touch sensor provided on the display panel and configured to detect a user touch input; an ultraviolet (UV) light source provided on an edge portion of the display panel and configured to emit UV light to the display panel from the edge portion of the display panel; and a controller electrically connected to the display panel, the touch sensor, and the UV light source, wherein the controller is configured to, based on a determination that the user touch input is not detected, control the UV light source to emit the UV light toward the display panel.

A sanitizing cup that is advantageously used in a vehicle interior. The sanitizing cup includes a cup base and a sanitizing compartment extending at least partially from the cup base. The sanitizing compartment has a sanitizing area which can be used to sanitize an object, such as a user's face mask. The sanitizing cup also includes a hand sanitizer dispenser extending at least partially from the cup base, from the sanitizing compartment, or from both of the cup base and the sanitizing compartment. A combined hand and mask sanitizing cup provides enhanced in-vehicle disinfection capabilities.
