SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SMART MULTI-FUNCTION PROTECTOR WITH DYNAMIC NEED-BASED DEPLOYMENT
20230157379 · 2023-05-25 ·

The present teaching relates to a protector capable of dynamically deploying protection to a user. Data are received from a plurality of sensors embedded in the protector, worn by a user on head and for providing protection to the user based on need. The data capture information surrounding the protector and are used to detect a closest distance associated with a person among one or more people appearing nearby the user. If the closest distance satisfies a first condition, the protector applies protection to the user via at least one protection sheet stored in the protector to create a barrier between the user and the one or more people.

A fogging system may include a fogging device including a fluid reservoir, a first fluid atomizer coupled to the fluid reservoir, and a processor configured to operate the first fluid atomizer to atomize fluid from the fluid reservoir in a first operating mode. The system may further include at least one fogging accessory removably attachable to the fogging device and comprising circuitry configured to identify a fogging accessory device type associated with the at least one fogging accessory, and a second fluid atomizer configured to atomize fluid from the fluid reservoir when the at least one fogging accessory is attached to the fogging device. The processor may be configured to detect the fogging accessory device type from the circuitry and switch to a second operating mode responsive to the detection, with the second operating mode being different than the first operating mode.

Surface sanitizing device

The present invention is a sanitizing and disinfecting device that provides a long-term sanitizing solution. The device provides a UV-C light for disinfecting objects and provides a thin antimicrobial coating which has UV curable properties to create a long-lasting sanitizing effect. The device comprises a chamber containing UV-C lamps and necessary parts to facilitate spray coating application. A self-elevating system positions the object in an appropriate height for a proper spraying.

MODULAR FLUID DISPENSING SYSTEM

A modular fluid dispensing system includes a rigid bottle and multiple swappable base units. The modular fluid dispensing system includes a bottle housing to house a rigid bottle, a dispenser to dispense the fluid, and an attachment mechanism to reversibly affix the modular fluid dispensing system to a support structure. The bottle housing includes a threaded fastener to form a seal with the rigid bottle and a puncturing taper to puncture a seal of the rigid bottle. The dispenser includes a pump to initiate flow of the fluid from the rigid bottle and out a nozzle in response to a command signal from a sensor. The dispenser also includes a vacuum break port to allow an external fluid to replace the fluid in the bottle and prevent formation of a vacuum.

Device for Disinfecting Hands
20230111301 · 2023-04-13 ·

The invention relates to a device 1 for disinfecting hands, wherein an outlet for the disinfection liquid 10 is provided in a local external region of a vehicle 20.

In order to provide a vehicle driver of additional occupants the opportunity to disinfect their hands before entering or sitting down in the vehicle, the invention provides that the disinfection liquid 10 exists from a reservoir 2 via at least one outlet opening or spray nozzle 27, which is secured externally on a vehicle 20, when a sensor 12, 23, 28 is triggered. The claimed device makes it possible for a disinfection liquid to exit from a reservoir via an outlet opening or spray nozzle, which is secured externally on a vehicle, when a sensor is triggered, so that the vehicle driver can disinfect their hands from outside. Of course, the same applies to larger vehicles, such as buses or other public means of transport, so that all passengers can disinfect their hands before starting their journey, or, optionally, after their journey has ended.

A disinfection unit configured to be operated in a room having a ceiling includes a detection unit arranged and configured to detect a height of the room and one or more nozzles each being arranged to generate a jet and spray a disinfection fluid into the room. The disinfection unit includes a control unit configured to calculate a quantity of disinfection fluid to be sprayed into the room on the basis of a predefined required degree of purity.

AUTOMATIC FLOOR-DISINFECTION ROBOT FOR HOSPITAL ROOMS

An automatic floor-disinfection robot for floors of hospital rooms, including a moving device, a alarm and a disinfection device. The moving device is a disc-shaped robot, and includes a chassis moving mechanism, a support plate and a top plate arranged successively from bottom to top. The disinfection device includes a disinfection assembly and a baffle. The disinfection assembly includes a liquid supply mechanism, a liquid spray mechanism and a fan.

Electrostatic fluid delivery system
11623231 · 2023-04-11 · ·

An electrostatic fluid delivery system is configured to deliver fluid, such as a disinfectant fluid, onto a surface by electrically charging the fluid and forming the fluid into a mist, fog, plume, or spray that can be directed onto a surface, such as a surface to be cleaned. The system atomizes the fluid using a high-pressure fluid stream and passes the fluid through an electrode of a nozzle assembly to charge droplets of the atomized fluid.

Accumulator apparatus for use in sterilization
11602575 · 2023-03-14 · ·

A decontamination system for a device, such as a lumen device, is provided. The decontamination system includes a terminal package defining a device receiving area. The terminal package includes a fluid inlet through which sterilant fluid can be delivered to the device receiving area. An accumulator apparatus is provided that is configured to switch between trapping sterilant fluid delivered into the device receiving area and delivering sterilant fluid to the device receiving area based on pressure changes in the device receiving area.

LARGE-SCALE UV-C INACTIVATION DEVICES AND SIMULATIONS OF THE SAME

An UV-C device may include several UV-C light sources (e.g., UV-C LEDs) and such UV-C LEDs may have UV-C reflecting structures arranged to direct UV-C in a particular direction and at a particular size and shape. Doing so may, for example, increase the UV-C in a particular direction or working area. A UV-C generating device may be utilized in an air stream, such as an air duct, to sterilize air from that air stream. Multiple UV-C inactivation devices may be coupled in series and placed into a single housing for in order to increase the efficacy of the UV-C inactivation device. The inlet of the device may draw air using an inlet module attachment (e.g., a hood with one or more than one inlet hood) and may output air using an outlet module attachment (e.g., a duct to deliver air to an outflow air duct). Computational fluid dynamic software may be provided where UV-C inactivation devices may be positioned (e.g., manually or autonomously by an adaptive algorithm) to determine impact on airflow against various pathogens (e.g., Staphylococcus and/or SARS-CoV-2).
