A system and method are defined for disinfection of the structure, contents and included air in large volume enclosures such as mass transit vehicles, transport containers, warehouses, and retail sales or gathering locations to reduce the risk of transmission of contagious biological agents, particularly bacterial and viral agents. Various embodiments provide effective sanitizing actions accommodating differing local circumstances and obstacles. Safety interlock mechanisms, procedural steps and communications means ensure safe operations around humans and animals. The system includes a method for measuring environmental conditions to ensure a safe re-entry state.

Vehicle comprising a plurality of walls defining a housing and a sanitization system for said housing comprising diffuser means, a source of sanitizing fluid, ventilation means and an electronic unit, this being configured to allow the passage of the sanitizing fluid from the source to the diffuser means, the diffuser means nebulizing this fluid inside said housing, the electronic unit being configured to activate the ventilation means to allow the airing of said housing following the nebulization of the sanitizing fluid inside the housing.

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.

The invention relates to a dispensing device comprising a dispensing case that may house a dispensing cartridge, where the dispensing cartridge holds a liquid to be dispensed. The dispensing device further comprising a top cap, an actuator, a main body and a bottom cap, where the main body is positioned between the top cap and the bottom cap. The dispensing device further comprising top and bottom magnets that magnetically repel one another. Upon pressing of the actuator, material from the dispensing cartridge is dispensed and upon releasing of the actuator, the magnetic repellency of the top and bottom magnets moves the actuator back to its original position.

A mask has to possess sufficient electrostatic charges in order to maintain a filtering effect of the mask using static electricity. However, an electrostatic property naturally decreases as an amount of the electrostatic charges decreases when contacting a human body or exposed to the air. Resultantly, as an initial electrostatic filtering effect gradually decreases, an initially intended function of the mask is not implemented.

The present invention relates to a static electricity recharging device for a mask, which allows the mask to be reused by recharging reduced or removed electrostatic charges in the mask.

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.

The invention describes a method and a walk through apparatus to treat surfaces with hydroxyl ions to reduce the viability and/or kill pathogens.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to storage assemblies including at least part of a delivery device and an implant. The storage assemblies are configured to trap sterilizing ethylene oxide gas using its high water solubility and converting the escaped ethylene oxide to less detrimental ethylene glycol and ethylene chlorohydrin to protect the implant from damage. In one example, the storage assembly includes an inner container housing the implant and sterilizing fluid and an outer container positioned over the inner container, wherein the outer container is at least partially filled with aqueous water. The implant may be a prosthetic heart valve. Aspects of the disclosure also relate to methods of sterilizing the storage assemblies of the disclosure.
