A disinfection system for treating water. In a specific example, the system treats water prior to its upload to an aircraft or other passenger transportation vehicle. One or more replaceable filters are positioned within a filter chamber housing in order to expose water flowing through the system to filtration treatment.

A system for meat processing may include: a conveyor configured to transport animal carcasses or portions of meat through a meat processing facility; and a spray system configured to spray each of the animal carcasses or portions of meat with aqueous ozone when each of the animal carcasses or portions of meat is transported to the spray system by the conveyor. The system may further include a second spray system configured to spray each of the animal carcasses or portions of meat with lactic acid or citric acid when each of the animal carcasses or portions of meat is transported to the second spray system by the conveyor.

A UV-C emitting phone case is provided that includes a main body defining a receiving cavity and a perimeter configured to receive and hold a mobile phone, surround a perimeter and a back portion of the phone. The phone case includes at least one UV-C light emitting diode (LED) positioned in the main body of the phone case and exposed on a back side of the phone case. It further includes a window for exposing the UV-C LED and optionally having a color metric to indicate if the light is being emitted, a power source built into the phone case and connected to the UV-C LED; an on/off switch coupled to the power source configured to activate and deactivate the UV-C LED; and an optional distance sensor to indicate a distance from a target surface to the UV-C LED.

A storage compartment for a vehicle includes a body defining a sterilization volume configured to receive an item to be sterilized. The body includes a lower wall, and a side wall extending from the lower wall. A lid is coupled with the at least one of the walls and is configured to selectively close the sterilization volume. A lighting assembly is provided, to direct emitted light into the sterilization volume.

A fanny pack or small pack that has at least one but preferably two or more pockets made out of an absorbent lining material capable of holding a quantity of a sanitizing substance imbibed therein.

A hand-held operation cleaning, sterilization and disinfection atomizing diffuser, provided that the user conveniently holds a handle of the diffuser to operate a control unit to provide power to an air extraction device and a pumping control device to pump the cleaning, sterilizing, disinfecting or/and deodorizing liquid out of a liquid storage tank to expel via a water jet, and the gas extracted from the air extraction forms a jet stream through an air jet, and the liquid sprayed by the water jet is broken by the jet stream of the air jet at a high speed into fine droplets and atomized to clean, sterilize, disinfect or deodorize towards a target.

Systems are disclosed which include processor-executable program instructions for receiving data regarding characteristics of an area or a room and determining, based on the received data, operating parameter/s for one or more disinfection sources to disinfect the area/room. The data may include data regarding non-physical characteristics and/or physical characteristics of the area/room. In some embodiments, data regarding a quantity and/or type of at least a subset of the plurality of disinfection sources for disinfecting the room may also be considered for determining the operating parameter/s. In addition or alternatively, the data may be in relation to multiple disinfection sources in the area/room. In any case, a system is also disclosed which facilities power redirection among multiple disinfection sources upon detecting a given area has received a predetermined dose of ultraviolet light.

An ultraviolet emitting system for sanitizing a target volume can include a plurality of adjustably positionable light sources having a collapsed position and the expanded position. The light sources of the plurality of adjustably positionable light sources can be configured to emit ultraviolet light in a substantially homogenous irradiance within the target volume in any position between the collapsed position and the expanded position.

Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide a method of moving, using a drive system, a mobile robot within an area. Detecting, using at least one sensor of the mobile robot, at least one of air within the area, a surface within the area, and/or an object within the area. The area may be mapped in three dimensions based on the detecting of at least one of the air, the surface, and the object as the mobile robot moves within the area. Ultraviolet (UV) light may be emitted from a light source of the mobile robot to disinfect at least a portion of the area. A representation of the emission of the UV light may be plotted onto the mapped area to generate an exposure plot, where the representation is of the UV light emitted on at least one of the air, the surface, and the object in the area.

A system for improving an appearance of light from an excimer lamp includes the excimer lamp configured to output excimer light that includes ultraviolet light having an ultraviolet wavelength and visible light having a first visible wavelength or spectra. The system further includes at least one additional light source configured to be packaged with the excimer lamp and to output additional light having a second visible wavelength or spectra. The system further includes a cover that is at least one of transparent or translucent to the ultraviolet wavelength and having a surface pattern that causes the excimer light to blend with the additional light.
