A disinfection compartment comprising a plurality of wheels; a casing disposed on the disinfection compartment, at least one tank configured to hold antimicrobial solution or hydrogen peroxide solution, a nozzle/dispenser disposed on the casing, and an attachment member configured to provide a detachably secure attachment to a moving unit, wherein the nozzle/dispenser is an electrostatic sprayer or electrostatic gun.

Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide a method of moving a mobile robot within an area. The movement of the mobile robot and the emission of ultraviolet (UV) light may be stopped when a human and/or animal is determined to be within the area. Using at least one sensor, the method may be determine whether there is at least one of human identification, animal identification, motion, heat, and/or sound within the area for a predetermined period of time. When there is no human identification, animal identification, motion, heat, and/or sound within the predetermined period of time, UV light may be emitted and the drive system may be controlled to move the mobile robot within the area. When there is at least one of human identification, motion, heat, and/or sound within the predetermined period of time, a light source may be controlled to prohibit the emission of UV light.

An crop harvesting system includes a moving apparatus configured to be movable in a harvesting operation area that is an area in which a harvesting operation takes place; a harvesting apparatus mounted on the moving apparatus and harvest a harvesting object by making contact with a crop, the crop being a harvesting object; a disinfecting apparatus having a function of disinfecting at least a disinfection target part of the harvesting apparatus, which is being brought into contact with the harvesting object; a disinfection necessity judgment processing portion configured to perform a disinfection necessity judgment process of judging whether disinfection to the disinfection target part is necessary; a disinfecting operation processing portion configured to, when it is judged in the disinfection necessity judgment process that the disinfection is necessary, perform a disinfecting operation of disinfecting the disinfection target part by driving at least one of the harvesting apparatus and the disinfecting apparatus.

A universal chemical processor (UCP) including a reactor vessel with a main chamber, comprises inlets for feedstock, a fluidizing medium and reactants. The UCP further includes a reactive X-ray chemical processor (RXCP) having a large area hollow cylindrical cold cathode in the main chamber, a grid positioned concentrically with respect to the cathode, and an anode positioned concentrically with respect to the cathode and grid. In operation, when activated, the cathode of the RXCP emits electrodes onto the anode, which then emits X-rays into a radiation zone within the main chamber capable of ionizing feedstock and reactants, inducing chemical reactions, and sterilizing and decomposing organic materials within the radiation zone, and wherein, a fluidized bed is supported in the main chamber when the fluidizing medium and feedstock are supplied. The RXCP and the fluidized bed portions can be operated separately or in conjunction to achieve unanticipated results.

A system and method for performing UVC treatment of a room is presented herein. The system and method includes the use of at least one sensor, at least one UVC light source, a mobile device and a remote management system or cloud server. The sensor(s) and UVC light source(s) are disposed in a selected location within the room. The mobile device, in communication with the cloud server, is used to scan one or more of: a QR code associated with the room or location, a QR code associated with the UVC sources, and/or a QR code associated with the sensor(s). The mobile device then communicates with the cloud server to indicate where the sensor is disposed, and based thereupon, a treatment parameter, such as dosage values, treatment times, etc. is defined. If it is determined that the treatment parameter is not satisfied, then an action is initiated immediately or subsequently.

A UV based surface disinfection system that consists of the UV light source, a robot arm, and an omni directional mobile base. The mobile robot can be programmed autonomously and be able to bring the UV light source to the centimeters away from surfaces to achieve effective and efficient surface disinfection. The mobile robot can navigate autonomously in a complicated environment to perform disinfection operation in a large area.

A manually operable disinfection wand provides to a user feedback indicating effectiveness of disinfection during treatment of a target surface. The disinfection wand comprises an illuminator section having an illuminator light source, a handle section, a coupling mechanism, and a position sensor. The coupling mechanism enables a user to rotate an illuminator cover in the illuminator section relative to the handle section to selectively allow passing of light emitted by the illuminator light source for incidence on the target surface. The illuminator cover can be rotated relative to the handle section also to block the light emitted by the illuminator light source. The position sensor is placed in the disinfection wand to produce for observation by the user a signal that is indicative of speed of motion of the disinfection wand and thereby its effectiveness in disinfecting the target surface.

A an attachable orthodontic device case includes an orthodontic device case having an interior volume configured for holding an orthodontic device, the orthodontic device case comprising a first half and the second half, wherein the first half is hingably coupled to the second half via a plurality of barrel hinges, a first handle located on the first half of the orthodontic device case, and a male protrusion located on the first handle, a second handle located on the second half of the orthodontic device case, and a female orifice located on the second handle, wherein the female orifice is configured to mate securely with the male protrusion located on the first handle, and, a flat surface on a rear of the second half of the orthodontic device case and a magnet and/or an adhesive on said flat surface for removably coupling to a rear of a mobile computing device.

The smart wearable with embedded NFC (Near Field Communication) tags, vital health sensors and UV-C germicidal irradiation sources is provided for Prevention of spread of pathogens. The smart wearables is any of a hand glove, a footwear, a vest, a full body suit, a face mask, a footwear cover or a smart portables where all the smart wearables includes a plurality of re-programmable tags to facilitate touch less activities, and a plurality of body health monitoring sensors to monitor health of the wearer in real time for early warning health mechanisms, an Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) source to disinfect the surfaces coming in contact with the smart wearables with maximum efficacy and spread prevention. Further, the inner layer of the smart wearables which makes contact with the skin of the wearer is made of a Celliant synthetic polymer fabric material that traps the body's infrared energy and cycle it back to improve oxygenation and resolve minor aches and pains.
