A system to illuminate fruit and/or vegetables in the food storage facility, comprising a lamp (8) and a controller (12). The lamp is operable to provide the illumination with a first light output and a second light output, the first light output having a higher intensity and at least a red-bias spectrum relative to the second light output. Further, the system comprises a controller for controlling the illumination of the fruit and/or vegetables in the food storage facility by controlling the lamp. The controller is configured to apply the illumination in a sequence comprising a period of darkness, followed by the first light output for a first period, then followed by the second light output for a second period.

Disclosed is a device for preservability enhancement including: a primary energy wave generation unit which generates, by receiving AC 220V power from a 220V power input unit via a noise filter, an electromagnetic field by an inner electric coil, generates a preconfigured frequency in which a generated electric field and electromagnetic field energy are included, and generates free electrons by the flow of an electric current therein resulting from the electromagnetic field; and a tertiary complex wave generation and amplification unit which receives, via an output terminal of the primary energy wave generation unit, the free electrons and the electromagnetic field having information of the primary energy wave generation unit and generated thereby and, by using the free electrons and the electromagnetic field thus received, combines, amplifies and emits the first cell-activating energy wave.

The present disclosure relates to an air modifying device for extending the shelf life of a fresh product and to methods of extending the shelf life of fresh products. Certain embodiments of the present disclosure comprise an air modifying device for extending shelf life of a fresh product. The device comprises a hollow body, one or more means for moving air or a gas through the hollow body, a surface within the hollow body, the surface comprising a metal oxide, and a source of UV light within the body to direct UV light onto the surface comprising the metal oxide, wherein irradiation of the metal oxide with the UV light modifies the air or gas moved through the device so that release of the modified air or gas from the device into the atmosphere around the fresh product extends the shelf life of the fresh product.

The disclosure provides methods of producing a salt product which includes starting with a quantity of salt, placing the salt under an infrared light for a period of time, exposing the salt to sunlight for a period of time, exposing the salt to maifan stones for a period of time, and roasting the salt while being contained in clay pots that are surrounded with elements such as apatite, tourmaline, germanium, maifan (barley stone), volcanic rocks, titanium, and illite at high temperature for a period of time. The salt may include sea salt.

Provided are methods of reducing and killing bacteria and fungi, and photodynamic treatment methods and sterilization methods using the methods of reducing and killing bacteria and fungi. The method of reducing and killing bacteria and fungi includes bringing a composition including a Ligularia fischeri extract or a fraction thereof as an active ingredient into contact with cells or tissues of a subject and irradiating cells or tissues of a subject in contact with the composition with an absorbable wavelength of excitation light.

A method and a system for producing a change in a medium. The method places in a vicinity of the medium an energy modulation agent. The method applies an initiation energy to the medium. The initiation energy interacts with the energy modulation agent to directly or indirectly produce the change in the medium. The energy modulation agent has a normal predominant emission of radiation in a first wavelength range outside of a second wavelength range (WR2) known to produce the change, but under exposure to the applied initiation energy produces the change. The system includes an initiation energy source configured to apply an initiation energy to the medium to activate the energy modulation agent.

This invention relates to a method, process and apparatus for disinfecting and sterilizing all types of surfaces contaminated with microorganisms and toxic substances to render both inactive. Furthermore, this invention relates to both a method and apparatus for disinfecting and/or sterilizing breathable air and then using this air to protect a confined space from external contamination. The apparatus consists of a new ultra-violet (NUV) source that is more effective than mercury based 254 nm light for destroying DNA of virus, bacteria, spores and cists. It is most effective in breaking chemical bonds in toxic gases and Biotoxins that are useful to terrorists. It is combined with other apparatus that remove particulates and byproducts sometimes produced by the NUV source and maintains positive pressure of the confined space so as to prevent the influx of air from outside the protected zone.

An emission enhancement structure having at least one energy augmentation structure; and an energy converter capable of receiving energy from an energy source, converting the energy and emitting therefrom a light of a different energy than the received energy. The energy converter is disposed in a vicinity of the at least one energy augmentation structure such that the emitted light is emitted with an intensity larger than if the converter were remote from the at least one energy augmentation structure. Also described are various uses for the energy emitters, energy augmentation structures and energy collectors in a wide array of fields.
