A dosing station comprises a receiving area for receiving a module and a sampling system for acquiring water from the module, analyzing the water and determining a refill recipe based on one or more parameters of the water. The dosing station includes a nutrient dispenser arranged to dispense at least one nutrient into the module according to the refill recipe. The recipe can be based on the type of plants in the module, the age of the plant and/or the physical condition of the plants. The dosing station can change refill recipes for each module within an agricultural facility based on one or more parameters to optimize the nutrient supply for all plants within the agricultural facility.

The present disclosure relates to a plasma treatment apparatus and a method using the same, and more particularly, to a plasma treatment apparatus for applying, to a target object, such as a biomaterial, characteristics (e.g., removal of organic materials, crosslinking reaction, etching reaction, structural change by surface chemical reaction, sterilization effect, wettability, adhesiveness, bondability, color compatibility, surface reinforcement, modification of surface heat resistance, sterilization, removal of harmful proteins/bacteria, etc.) according to plasma treatment, and a method using the plasma treatment apparatus.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a device (10) for retaining an object in a disinfection apparatus. The device includes at least one support member (12) for contact engagement with one or more contact surfaces of the object. The at least one support member is formed from a material that allows a disinfection media to reach the one or more contact surfaces of the object such that the one or more contact surfaces are disinfected during a disinfection process.

A system that includes one or more quartz-sleeveless reactors to purify contaminated liquid in series or parallel. Each quartz-sleeveless reactor includes a continuous and independent reactor chamber. The system includes at least one continuous-batch flow, interior chamber reactor housed in the reactor chamber. Each interior chamber reactor of the at least one interior chamber reactor includes an ultraviolet (UV) lamp to emit UV radiation and fluid transport chamber. Each interior chamber reactor passes a stream of a mixture in the fluid transport chamber and around the UV lamp. The mixture includes an advanced oxidative process (AOP) additive and contaminated liquid. Each interior chamber reactor radiates the mixture while in the chamber with the emitted UV radiation from the UV lamp, simultaneously cools the UV lamp with the mixture, and autonomously passes a radiated resultant mixture into the reactor chamber.

A sterilization structure, a sterilization board, and a display device are disclosed. The sterilization structure includes an active layer, wherein, one surface of the active layer has an exposed region, and a material of the active layer includes a laser-induced graphene material.

The present device provides a safe, effective means of mobile ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. A control board within the main body of the device receives data from sensors that may variously measure orientation and speed of the main body as it moves along various surfaces for disinfection. In response to such data, the control board may brighten, dim, or completely shut off UV light-emitting diodes (UVLEs), both to prevent over- and under-exposure of the materials being disinfected, and to prevent a user from unsafely using the device.

A medical device inspection system may include a base, a medical device holder on the base, a fiber scope holder on the base, a moveable roller moveably attached to the base such that it is free to rotate around an axis and move from a first position to a second position along the base, and a feeder coupled with the base for feeding a flexible portion of the fiber scope into a lumen of the medical device. During use, the flexible portion of the fiber scope may extend from the handle, around the moveable roller, and through the feeder to enter an opening in the lumen of the medical device.

Provided are systems and methods for treating a biological fluid, e.g., to inactivate pathogens.

In an example, an electronic device includes a housing and an input device exposed in an upper surface of the housing. The input device may include a transparent input interface. Further, the electronic device may include a transparent photocatalyst layer disposed on the transparent input interface, an ultraviolet (UV) light source disposed in the input device to emit light, and a conductive oxide layer disposed in the input device between the transparent input interface and the UV light source. Furthermore, the electronic device may include a controller to control a degree of transparency of the conductive oxide layer to permit the light to pass through the conductive oxide layer to contact the transparent photocatalyst layer.

An endoscope includes an insertion section, a channel, a raising base and a sterilizing device. The insertion section includes a distal end portion, and the distal end portion includes a recess. The channel is disposed in the insertion section, the channel communicating with the recess and the channel configured to receive a treatment instrument. The raising base is disposed in the recess, the raising base configured to guide the treatment instrument to protrude from the recess. The sterilizing device is disposed in the distal end portion, the sterilizing device configured to sterilize one or more of the channel and the recess and the raising base.
