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.

An electrostatic fluid delivery system that is configured to deliver fluid, such as a disinfectant fluid, onto a surface by electrically charging the fluid and forming the fluid into a spray that can be directed onto a surface, such as a surface to be cleaned. The system is powered by a DC (direct current) power system. The device can electrically or positively charge a liquid or gas.

A disinfection apparatus, typically an autonomous or semi-autonomous robot which has a germicidal light source, a controller for controlling emission of germicidal light from the germicidal light source and a moveable support to which the germicidal light source is attached which is moveable across a surface. The apparatus may also have a detector which detects the presence of an object in the vicinity of the apparatus wherein the controller controls the direction of germicidal light from the light source in response to the detection of one or more said object.

A mobile disinfection device (200) includes a disinfection chamber (203) coupled to a propulsion system (228) configured for moving along a surface (236) to be disinfected. The disinfection chamber defines a closed distal end (205), an open proximal end (206) and a surrounding wall (207) impervious to the radiation and having opposing front and rear portions and opposing side portions, respective proximal front, rear and side edges of which are propelled by the propulsion system close to the surface to be disinfected. A radiation source (260) is mounted inside the disinfection chamber for irradiating the surface through the open proximal end. The propulsion system includes a peripheral seal (304) surrounding a proximal edge of the wall and configured to obstruct radiation that might otherwise escape from inside the disinfection chamber.

A sterilization method for a vehicle sterilization system, comprising: receiving a detection signal, and determining whether a seat cushion of a vehicle covers a space of a compartment according to a voltage level of the detection signal; when the seat cushion does not completely cover the space of the compartment, controlling a power supply unit to stop supplying power; when the seat cushion covers the space of the compartment, controlling the power supply unit to supply power to a sterilization device.

The present disclosure provides on-demand agent dispensing patches, kits and related methods. A flexible patch is configured to provide on-demand dispensing of the agent via compression of the patch. The patch comprises: an adhesive layer to removably couple the patch to a surface; at least one reservoir layer overlying the adhesive layer configured to absorb and retain the agent therein; at least one dispenser layer overlying the at least one reservoir layer comprising a plurality of solid portions and an array of a plurality of openings configured to inhibit evaporation of the agent and control a flow of the agent therefrom upon the compression of the patch; and at least one backer layer between the adhesive layer and the at least one reservoir layer being substantially impervious to the agent. The at least one reservoir layer may be void of the agent, which may be provided in a container.

Provided are a storage box for storing both a bluetooth earphone and an electronic cigarette. The storage box for storing both a bluetooth earphone and the electronic cigarette includes a box body and a box cover covered on a top surface of the box body. The top surface of the box body is provided with an electronic cigarette accommodation groove, a left earphone accommodation groove and a right earphone accommodation groove. The electronic cigarette, the left earphone and the right earphone all are capable of being inserted into the electronic cigarette accommodation groove, the left earphone accommodation groove and the right earphone accommodation groove along the direction perpendicular to the top surface of the box body, respectively.

An apparatus for sanitising products comprising a housing comprising a bottom portion, interior walls an external portion and doors a pair of support beams, a plurality of internal conveyor belts, at least one UV-C light connected inside the housing, a first opening adapted to allow products to enter the housing for sanitisation and a second opening adapted to allow products to exit the housing after sanitisation.

Microbial disinfection is performed using continuous or intermittent lighting using one or more narrow wavelength light sources. The light sources illuminate with narrow wavelength characteristics. The lighting provides a sufficiently high intensity for rapid microbial disinfection process, while reducing the average energy consumption for microbial disinfection during the microbial disinfection process by targeting multiple cellular sites along different inactivation pathways.

A portable illumination apparatus having a sterilizing function, the illumination apparatus including: a lamp unit which includes an illuminating light element on an interior side of the lamp unit; a base coupled to the lamp unit by a hinge; and a sterilizing light element located on the interior side of the lamp unit. When the lamp unit is in a closed position with the base, the lamp unit and the base meet at a boundary section to form a cylinder with a top and a bottom. Also, the boundary section is substantially mirror-symmetrical and at least partially U-shaped such that the lamp unit has a longest height line and a shortest height line. Additionally, the illuminating light element is arranged on or along the longest height line and the hinge is formed about the shortest height line.
