Apparatuses for sanitizing and/or sterilizing a dental/orthodontic appliance are described herein. These apparatuses may include an internal chamber in which one or more sanitizing/sterilizing modes, such as UV light (e.g., UVC light), ultrasound, heat, etc. may be applied to an appliance.

A mobile telephone case has sanitizing systems incorporated within a case body capable of projecting sanitizing elements onto front side and back sides of the case for clearing the case. A control means is in electrical communication between the sanitizing systems and a power supply. Sets of nozzles located on front and rear sides pumps the sanitizing elements from a sanitizing solution reservoir in the case. Sets of UV-C LED lamps may also be located on front and rear sides of the case for further sanitizing the phone.

A disinfectant device can disinfect sports balls, such as basketballs, soccer balls, and volleyballs in an efficient manner, and may store the balls in a similar manner as current storage devices in the art. The disinfectant device for sports balls has a housing, a ball inlet, a plurality of rails, a plurality of disinfecting lights within the housing, and a ball outlet. The balls remain within the housing so as to be sufficiently exposed to UV light and thereby disinfected, and are advanced and released from the housing one at a time via an advancement mechanism.

COVID-19 and many other infectious diseases like Flu can spread through by touch. Tennis player exchange the same balls multiple times during the practice or game. For student's safety schools and colleges currently sanitize the balls manually which is a tedious and time taking job. This invention sanitizes the bunch of tennis balls in one go with the push of a buttons and a Knob which control the speed of motor vibration.

A sanitization system for an aircraft may comprise: a lighting system disposed in the aircraft cabin, the lighting system including a plurality of sanitization lights, the plurality of sanitization lights configured to emit UV-C radiation; an electrical port in electrical communication with the lighting system; an external power source disposed away from the aircraft; and an electrical cable coupled to the external power source, the electrical cable configured to removably couple to the electrical port to provide electrical power to the plurality of sanitization lights.

The present disclosure relates to a removably attachable disinfecting device to disinfect items on a conveyor. The disinfecting device has a housing, an inlet, an outlet, and at least one disinfecting light positioned within the housing. The housing is five-sided and has an inlet cover and an outlet cover, a first lip on a first side, and a second lip on a second side, the lips configured to rest on an outer, stationary surface of a conveyor belt system. As an item passes down the conveyor belt, it enters the disinfecting device via the inlet where it is exposed to disinfecting light (e.g., UV light). The disinfected item proceeds to exit the disinfecting device on the conveyor belt via the outlet.

A flexible cleaning apparatus comprising a plurality of extendible tubes disposed in fluidic communication with each other and is arranged in a three-dimensional geometry that defines an internal cleaning region. The flexible cleaning apparatus has a cleaning fluid interface configured to provide cleaning solution to the plurality of extendible tubes. The flexible cleaning apparatus has a plurality of nozzles disposed along the plurality of extendible tubes and is configured to transit the cleaning solution from the plurality of extendible tubes to the internal cleaning region. The plurality of extendible tubes are each configured to adjust between a first length and a second length to adjust a volume of the internal cleaning region.

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 Sterilization Unit includes: a UV-C radiation source configured to emit UV-C radiation; and a room partition selectably configurable between two or more different partition geometrics and configured, in each of the two or more different partition geometrics, to (a) physically separate floor space of a room into sterilization target area and a non-target area, and (b) direct the UV-C radiation to the target area from at least two different directions while shielding the non-target area from the UV-C radiation.

A container apparatus includes an enclosure and a light assembly. The enclosure defines an interior area for storing items therein, and has an interior surface facing the interior area and at least one substantially concave recess formed in the interior surface forming a recessed portion of the interior surface. The substantially concave recess can be sized and shaped to receive and releasably retain the light assembly therein. The light assembly comprises a light emitting device and can be substantially flush with a non-recessed portion of the interior surface when positioned in the substantially concave recess. The light emitting device emits ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 100 to 280 nanometers.
