An apparatus may include one or more light components that are configured to emit light to sanitize and disinfect one or more objects included within the apparatus. The apparatus may have an interior cavity at which the light components are located, where the interior cavity is accessible via one or more doors, an opening, a lid, etc. The apparatus may have a conveyor that transports objects from a first end of the apparatus to a second end of the apparatus, where the objects are sanitized during transport. The apparatus may be transitioned from an expanded configuration to an unexpanded/collapsed configuration, and vice versa. The apparatus may be stationary or include wheels or other mechanisms that allow the apparatus to be moved between different locations. Objects that are sanitized by the light components of the apparatus will be free of pathogens (e.g., viruses, bacteria, etc.) that are potentially harmful to humans.

A sanitization system for a space includes an ultraviolet (UV) light source configured to emit UV light. The system includes a sensor device configured to sense positions of a plurality of individuals within the space. The system includes a controller in communication with the sensor device. The controller is configured to monitor the positions of the plurality of individuals, determine, based on the positions of the plurality of individuals, that two or more individuals are less than a threshold distance from each other, and in response to determining that the two or more individuals are less than a threshold distance from each other, control the UV light source to emit UV light towards a proximate region between the two or more individuals.

Disclosed are microwave assisted methods and systems for decontaminating a variety of contaminated surfaces. The systems and methods comprise treating the surfaces with benign chemical formulations followed by exposing to microwave irradiation for short periods of time to achieve at least 6-log reduction in biological contaminants including spores of B. anthracis, B. thuringiensis, and P. roqueforti. Chemical formulations may comprise copper (II) chloride in water. The formulations may include a surfactant such as a polyethylene sorbitol ester surfactant.

The invention relates to portable bag for sterilizing an object accommodated therein. The portable bag comprises a flexible body defining an internal space for accommodating the object; a plurality of ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitting means arranged at opposing internal walls of the flexible body; wherein the flexible body comprises one or more layers of fabric material, with one layer of the one or more layers forming the internal walls comprising a reflective fabric material adapted to reflect ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted from the UV radiation emitting means and UV radiation reflected from the object. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing said portable bag.

Disclosed are a sterilization apparatus for sterilizing an object using plasma and ultraviolet light and a sterilization system for an airport including the same. The sterilization apparatus includes a first sterilizer configured to radiate plasma rays toward a sterilization space, a second sterilizer configured to radiate ultraviolet light toward the sterilization space, a sensing unit configured to sense whether an object is placed in the sterilization space, and a controller configured to control an operation of the second sterilizer based on information sensed by the sensing unit.

Provided is a portable IPL sterilizer comprising: a body partitioned into a central region and a peripheral region surrounding at least a portion of the central region; a xenon lamp light source for sterilization provided in the central region of the body; and a light-shielding comb part provided in the peripheral region of the body.

A portable sterilization device, includes a box body, configured with an accommodation space; at least one lamp, configured inside the box body; and at least one shroud, configured inside the box body, and positioned relatively above the lamp. With the above structure, items to be sterilized are placed inside the accommodation space of the box body, thereby preventing the items from being in contact with other pollution sources. The shrouds inside the box body can shield the light emitted from the lamps so as to avoid light directly irradiating human bodies. The lamp is used to emit light for sterilization and disinfection, and the light for example is ultraviolet light capable of effectively carrying out sterilization on the items inside the box body. At the same time, the overall structure is simple, light and easy to carry.

A portable modular sanitizing compartment is provided that is designed and configured to facilitate rapid sanitizing and drying of clothing articles placed within the compartment. The sanitizing compartment may include, an exterior housing, modular base controller and internal compartment defining an interior space, a plurality of air intake valves, a plurality tubular structure with plurality of apertures connected to hangers within the internal compartment, a plurality of modular UV lights, and a modular base control unit to form a treatment compartment. The use of treated atmospheric air, fragrance or atomized disinfectant instead of ozone to treat the clothing from the inside out through a structure of connected tubes placed within a closed compartment may provide the user with a better use case for users by limiting adverse health effects. The portable dry sanitizing compartment may also be controlled externally through a smart device.

In this invention it is disclosed a remote-controlled vehicle for operations in the extreme conditions (10) which comprises a base vehicle (100), a gripper (200), a manipulator arm (300), a mission module wherein base vehicle comprises front (110) and rear part (120), wherein on the front part of the base vehicle gripper is mounted and on the rear part of the base vehicle the manipulator arm is mounted and when in operation, the gripper and the manipulator arm are remotely operated. Also, it is disclosed whole system for remote operations comprising said remote-controlled vehicle and a control centre comprising a set of graphical user interfaces (GUI) and video displays (VD) arranged so that two way communication between the vehicle and control centre is established and wherein from GUI person can control and operate with the vehicle.

A system mountable on a mobile device for disinfecting the mobile device the system comprising a bezel having a generally rectangular opening generally in register with the touch screen of the mobile device. Sources of UV light and reflectors project UV light onto the touch screen during a disinfection cycle. A motion sensor detects the presence of a user of the mobile device and turns the UV light source off. A timer initiates the disinfection cycle if no motion is detected for a predetermined period of time.
