The present application discloses a novel ultraviolet lamp tube, comprising an outer tube; an inner tube coaxially installed inside the outer tube; an outer electrode embedded on the outer tube; and an inner electrode installed inside the inner tube; wherein the outer surface of the inner electrode or inner tube is plated with a clutter waves coating or an inner tube coating that can reflect a desired wavelength band; and the outer sidewall of the outer tube is plated with a single-wavelength band coating that can transmit a single-wavelength band. The coating method is used for wave filtering to ensure monochromaticity of the light emitted by the light source and greatly reduce the volume of the ultraviolet lamp tube. At the same time, the ultraviolet lamp can be in a cylindrical shape to effectively increase the beam angle of the ultraviolet lamp and effectively improve the luminous efficiency of the ultraviolet lamp.

A container sanitizing system is provided. The system includes one or more containers, e.g., food containers, and a system to sanitize the containers. The container sanitizing system includes a sanitizing station adapted to receive the food containers and to irradiate the items with ultraviolet light at a sufficient intensity to sanitize and disinfect the items. The food containers are collapsible and may be folded into box-like food containers for the general storage of food, and subsequently, unfolded into a generally flat structure for sanitization within the sanitizing station. The system also includes a handheld sanitizing unit that is portable and/or mobile.

An x-ray diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes an x-ray tube holder, a supporter, an ultraviolet ray, a contact portion detector, and an irradiation controller. The x-ray tube holder holds an x-ray tube. The supporter movably supports the x-ray tube holder. The ultraviolet ray emitter is disposed to the x-ray tube holder and emits ultraviolet rays. The contact portion detector detects a contact portion touched by a subject of detection, which is at least one of a subject of examination and an examination technician. The irradiation controller controls the support to move the x-ray tube holder to a position corresponding to the contact portion, and controls the ultraviolet ray emitter to emit the ultraviolet rays toward the contact portion.

A disinfecting system and method for an enclosed space include an articulating arm moveably coupled to a structure within the enclosed space. An ultraviolet (UV) lamp is coupled to the articulating arm. The UV lamp is configured to emit UV light toward a disinfection zone within the enclosed space. The articulating arm allows the UV lamp to move relative to the disinfection zone.

The present disclosure provides an ultraviolet (UV) sterilization apparatus that is capable of changing an emission mode and/or an emission angle. The UV sterilization apparatus includes a sterilization unit configured to be movable to a predetermined position and including a UV emitter, and a driving unit configured to move the sterilization unit.

The present disclosure provides an ultraviolet (UV) sterilization apparatus that has improved heat dissipation performance and is capable of being changed in position. The UV sterilization apparatus includes a sterilization unit configured to be movable to a predetermined position and including a UV emitter, a driving unit configured to move the sterilization unit, and a cover having a structure accommodating the sterilization unit and allowing the inside of the cover to communicate with the outside. A heat sink is provided in the cover in order to dissipate heat from the sterilization unit.

A wearable system for dispensing a substance is disclosed. The wearable system includes a base element, at least one reservoir surface defining a reservoir disposed in the base element, at least one first opening disposed along on an outward facing portion of the base element and providing fluid communication with the reservoir, and a rolling element disposed in the at least one first opening such that a first portion of the rolling element is outside the base element and a second portion of the rolling element is inside the base element.

A personal, portable, handheld UV light sanitizer (20) having a tubular housing (22) with a UV light source (32) for uniformly radiating a user's hand through a light transmittable outer wall (24) of the housing having a girth and length that enables substantially the entire the exterior surface of the outer wall to be covered by a user's hand when fully grasping the outer wall. A rearward annular wall (41) reduces any rearward light leakage and provides a bearing surface against which the edge of the user's hand may rest to prevent slippage. An annular forward wall (40) reduce forward light leakage and mounts actuation switches (36, 56), remote sensors (58, 60), a status indicator light (61) and an alarm speaker (59). When the skin surface sanitization mode switch (36) is actuated, skin sanitizing UV light radiation (42) radiates the inside of the user's hand for a preselected time period, unless there have previously been an excessive number of past hand sanitization cycles or too little time has passed since the last hand sanitization cycle (FIG. 9). Once energization, it is automatically deenergized after a preselected maximum time period (FIG. 9). Mounted to the front of the forward annular wall is another UV light source (51) that radiates UV light to suspect target surfaces spaced from the user's hand. A range finder (58) helps the user to hold the surface UV light source at the right distance from the target surface for effective sanitization, and energization is immediately terminated in response to an infrared sensor detecting that the surface UV light source is directed at a person's skin.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for an ultraviolet sanitation device. An apparatus includes an ultraviolet (“UV”) light emitter configured to emit UV light at a predefined wattage. The predefined wattage includes a wattage sufficient for ultraviolet germicidal irradiation. The apparatus includes a connector that corresponds to a connection port of a mobile device such that the UV light emitter is activated in response to the connector being connected to the connection port of the mobile device.

The present invention relates to a self sanitizing door handle and a method of operating the same. The door handle comprising: a soft glass hollow membrane; one or more connectors; a central rod; and a plurality of lights on said central rod inside said hollow membrane protectively covered by said one or more connectors in an active state of sanitization in said self sanitizing door handle. Furthermore, the door handled is a self powered door handle based on a spring and rail with turbines mechanism which contracts and relaxes to generate desired amount of power required to drive the door sanitization system in the self sanitizing door handle.
