A device and method for applying a material to a hard surface. The device has a sensor and one or more applicator nozzles. The device further includes a reservoir for containing a material to be deposited, and a CPU. The method includes providing information from the sensor about the surface to the CPU, which uses the information to identify where the material is to be deposited and/or how much to deposit.

A vehicle door assembly comprising includes a vehicle door panel, a vehicle door handle operably connected to the door panel so as to enable operation of a door latch by the door handle, and at least one sanitizer dispensing mechanism having at least a first nozzle coupled to the vehicle door panel and structured to discharge a sanitizing material onto an exterior surface of the door handle.

A process and apparatus for disinfection of spaces using a disinfecting liquid droplet spray atomization are described, in which an electric fan 107 is used to dispense the atomization from an atomization chamber 104 via venture outlets 106 into the space to be disinfected. The operation of the electric fan 107 is modulated in a cycle having a first phase in which the fan is operated at full speed and a second phase at which the fan is operated at a randomly selected speed to vary the rate of dispensing into the space in order to improve the dispersal of the atomized droplets in the space and hence the efficacy of disinfection.

Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide a method of receiving, at an actuated mobile device, at least one dosage level for a predetermined area, where the at least one dosage level is based on a first dosage of ultraviolet (UV) light to be output from at least one light source for at least a portion of the predetermined area. The method may include moving the actuated mobile device in a path within the predetermined area and outputting the UV light from the at least one light source onto one or more first surfaces based on the received at least one dosage level. The method may include moving the actuated mobile device within the path, and outputting the UV light onto one or more second surfaces based on the received at least one dosage level.

A compliance-based cleaning device includes an internal housing and a sanitization chamber coupled to the internal housing and configured to receive a piece of equipment to be cleaned. The sanitization chamber transitions between an open position and a closed position by rotating about an axis within the internal housing. The device further includes a cleaning member located in proximity to the sanitization chamber and configured to perform a cleaning process on the piece of equipment in response to the sanitization chamber entering the closed position.

A method for sterilizing viruses comprises generating a beam having radiating energy therein at a predetermined frequency for generating mechanical eigen-vibrations in a spherical virus to destroy the spherical virus and a predetermined cartesian beam intensity for imparting transverse shear forces to an icosahedral lattice structure of the spherical virus to destroy the icosahedral lattice structure of the spherical virus using beam generation circuitry. A resonance frequency of the spherical virus for inducing the mechanical eigen-vibrations in the spherical virus is determined based upon a size, geometry, and protein material of the spherical virus using a predetermined three-dimensional acoustical model of mechanical vibrations within the spherical virus. The beam generation at the predetermined frequency and the predetermined cartesian beam intensity is controlled using a controller responsive to the determined resonance frequency. The predetermined frequency equals the resonance frequency of the spherical virus. The beam on is radiated a predetermined area to destroy the spherical virus at the predetermined area using radiating circuitry. The mechanical eigen-vibrations at the resonance frequency of the spherical virus determined by the predetermined three-dimensional acoustical model are induced within the spherical virus to destroy the spherical virus responsive to the predetermined frequency. The transverse shear forces are imparted to the icosahedral lattice structure of the spherical virus to destroy the icosahedral lattice structure of the spherical virus.

A method and apparatus for sterilizing a medical instrument, such as a dental instrument. The method includes placing the medical instrument in a chamber, providing a sterilizing agent including recombined ionized humidified air, controlling the temperature of the medical instrument and/or the chamber such that the temperature of the medical instrument is below the temperature of chamber, and at least partially condensing the sterilizing agent onto the instruments.

An automatic system for providing full body shower with round the body cleaning to a user is illustrated. The automatic system includes a solid supporting unit with horizontal and vertical frames. A primary cleaning unit and a secondary cleaning unit are provided for the cleaning of the head portion and the body surface of a user. The first horizontal frame and the secondary cleaning unit are configured with vertical upward and downward movement along the vertical frame using an elevating means. Each of the primary and secondary cleaning units comprises a plurality of nozzles, brushes and ultraviolet (UV) light sources. An air dryer chamber propelling dry air for drying the wet body and head portion of the user is utilized. The automatic shower system can also be used in the horizontal orientation.

Aspects described herein include methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for operating a germicidal lighting device. A target environment is monitored for one or more people. In response to the monitoring indicating the presence of one or more people, the lighting device is caused to operate in an occupied target environment operating mode including causing the lighting device to emit far-UVC light at a given intensity into the target environment for a first period of time; and, in response to expiry of the first period of time, causing the lighting device to emit far-UVC light at a different intensity to the given intensity into the target environment for a second period of time.

Invention relates to a disinfection system which is configured for disinfecting people from the harmful bacteria and viruses that can adhere to the surfaces such as clothes, shoes. More specifically, the present invention relates to a disinfection system which allows efficient usage of the disinfectant fluid by providing maximum effect with the minimum amount of the disinfectant fluid thanks to the spraying unit that can rotate around the human body; can send the particles of disinfection liquid directly to the desired points of the body thus; does not expose the person to excessive disinfectant; moreover, creates hygienic environment for the next disinfection process after each usage by absorbing microorganisms that may be hang in the environment from the previous process thanks to the HEPA filter unit placed in the cabin. Mentioned system is a system that is effective not only on clothes, but also on human skin.
