A UV disinfectant system may include a chamber having a wall that is transparent to a disinfecting radiation. Liquid may be flowed through the chamber for treatment by exposure to the radiation. The chamber may include a static mixer having vanes to impede laminar flow of the liquid during treatment. The vanes extend into the flow path of the liquid through the chamber. A gap is defined between the vanes and the transparent wall. A cabinet may house the chamber and radiation emitting bulbs. Blowers may be operably coupled to a temperature sensor and flow meter and positioned at a lower end and upper end of the cabinet to urge air out of the cabinet. The temperature sensor may include a thermocouple. The blowers may be variable speed blowers. The system may include a controller to control system operations. The controller may be remotely accessible to monitor or control operations.

An illuminated bassinet including a light source for delivering therapeutic light and anti-bacterial light, where an interlock prevents the anti-bacterial light from being emitted while an infant is located in the bassinet. Also, a surgical illuminator configured to concurrently or alternately emit different wavelengths of light for treating a physiological condition and for affecting perception of the surgical opening.

Electrical connectors and fixtures, and more particularly, electrical plug and socket combinations allowing quick connection and mounting of electrical fixtures are provided with a disinfection feature for disinfecting air and/or surfaces. Additionally, lighting fixtures include or are retrofitted to provide both lighting and disinfection functions. The disinfection feature can be provided by any suitable source of UV radiation, such as an LED array. The emitted UV radiation is UV-A or FAR UV-C so that disinfection can occur regardless of whether a human is exposed to the emitted UV radiation or the emitted UV radiation is UV-C so that disinfection should only occur if there is no human exposure to the emitted UV radiation. Some electrical connectors and fixture can provide both types of emitted UV radiation, which are selectively actuatable.

An apparatus for sanitizing electric rocker switches includes an electric rocker switch with sanitizing ultraviolet C sterilizing germicidal light which provides a germ-free surface. Sanitizing ultraviolet C sterilizing germicidal light electric emitters are incorporated within the electrical rocker switch and/or around the perimeter of the electrical rocker switch and/or electrical switch plate that surrounds the electrical rocker switch.

Methods and systems are described for maintaining hygienic conditions in automatic teller machines by detecting whether or not a user is not in compliance with a hygienic standard. If a user is not in compliance, then the automatic teller machine may execute a hygienic action to cleanse the automatic teller machine. For example, the hygienic action may comprise automatically cleansing the automatic teller machine, disabling the automatic teller machine from service, transmitting a sanitation service request to an automatic teller machine provide, and/or initiating an alternative control scheme (e.g., voice controls, gesture-based controls, etc.) for the automatic teller machine.
