The invention provides an irradiation system, devices, and methods. The irradiation system includes a shielded housing; at least one canister disposed within the shielded housing, the at least one canister containing a material for irradiation within an interior volume of the at least one canister; wherein the at least one canister has a body disposed between a first end cap disposed at a first end of the canister and a second end cap disposed at a second end of the canister opposed to the first end; an ionizing radiation source disposed within the shielded housing adapted for emitting an ionizing radiation having at least one selected incident irradiation field geometry directed generally at the body of the at least one canister; wherein at least one canister is disposed on a rotating mechanism for rotating the at least one canister about a central horizontal or longitudinal axis extending from an isocenter of the first end cap to an isocenter of the second end cap for increasing uniform distribution of radiation of the material contained within the canister.

An irradiation system is provided which comprises a cabinet housing one or more X-ray tubes providing an irradiation source for a biomass contained within a cylindrical container arranged on a rotating device. The X-ray tubes generate directional X-ray beams and are provided in ultra-close proximity to the container, and the X-ray tubes can be configured to traverse the container. The rotational movement and traversal during the irradiation process ensure a more even irradiation of the entire biomass in the container.

A treatment system for treating or sterilizing products includes a particle accelerator configured to produce a beam of charged particles, a deflector configured to redirect the beam of charged particles, a vacuum chamber that prevents the atmosphere from interfering with the charged particles, and a magnet array for directing the beam of charged particles onto a product, wherein the beam of charged particles is used to sterilize the product.

Methods, systems, and devices for inactivating microorganisms are disclosed. An example light emitting device that inactivates microorganisms on a surface comprises a light emitter configured to emit a first light comprising a first wavelength in a range of 380 nanometers (nm) to 420 nm, a first light-converting material configured to convert a first portion of the first light to at least a second light comprising a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, and a second light-converting material configured to convert a second portion of the first light to at least a third light comprising a third wavelength different from the first wavelength, wherein at least the first light, the second light, and the third light mix to form a disinfecting white light, wherein the first light makes up at least 10% of the disinfecting white light.

A system includes a sensor applicator, a sensor control device arranged within the sensor applicator and including an electronics housing and a sensor extending from a bottom of the electronics housing, and a cap coupled to one of the sensor applicator and the sensor control device, wherein the cap is removable prior to deploying the sensor control device from the sensor applicator.

An irradiation apparatus comprises a plurality of ionising radiation source points (122) configured to output ionising radiation. The plurality of ionising radiation source points (122) is an array distributed around an irradiation volume (140). The array of ionising radiation source points (122) is configured to direct ionising radiation inwardly to the irradiation volume (140). A transport apparatus (130) is configured to support at least one sample (138) to be irradiated within the irradiation volume (140). The transport apparatus (130) is configured to rotate about a first rotational axis (131) lying within the irradiation volume (140).

The present disclosure provides a surgical instrument including an end effector, a drive member movable to effectuate a motion in said end effector, a motor operable to move the drive member to effectuate the motion in the end effector and a bailout assembly operable to perform a mechanical bailout of the surgical instrument in response to a bailout error. The bailout assembly includes a bailout door, a bailout handle accessible through the bailout door. The bailout handle is operable to move the drive member to effectuate a bailout motion in the end effector. A controller includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to detect the bailout error. The processor is programed to stop the motor in response to the detection of the bailout error.
