TEMPORAL MOUNT DISINFECTION DEVICE
A temporal mount disinfection device for providing portable UV-C disinfection includes an elongated housing having a plurality of apertures. A plurality of UV-C LEDs project light through each one of the plurality of apertures. A spot light emanates from the housing and is used for aiming the plurality of UV-C LEDs to a specific location within a vehicle. A mount is connected to the housing that is reconfigurable for allowing the disinfection device to be mounted in various locations throughout a vehicle.
DIRECTIONAL ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION APPARATUS
An apparatus for disinfecting an air space is presented. The apparatus includes a housing having a front surface, a back surface, a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end, and a second end. A light emitting diode is inside the housing and configured to emit ultraviolet radiation, at least 90% of which has a wavelength less than 280 nm, in a direction away from the housing into surrounding space. Circuits inside the housing control the light emitting diode to emit radiation at different intensity levels including zero. Motion sensors may be coupled to the circuits to turn the light emitting diode on and off and modulate the intensity of radiation that is emitted, thereby avoiding exposing occupants of the space to harmful radiation.

ULTRAVIOLET AIR SANITIZER APPARATUS FOR HVAC SYSTEMS
An ultraviolet air sanitizer apparatus for HVAC systems has a frame defining a flow passage therethrough configured such that the frame rear is insertable into a return air inlet of the HVAC system. A sanitizer light is disposed within the flow passage. When activated, the sanitizer light emits germicidal ultraviolet light into the surrounding flow passage. A light baffle is disposed within the flow passage upstream of the sanitizer light and allows air flow but blocks light. An air pressure sensing switch is electrically connected to the sanitizing light and configured to measure air pressure differential across an air filter. When the air pressure differential is a predetermined value or greater, which is indicative of air circulation by the HVAC system, the switch turns on the sanitizer light. When the pressure differential is less than the predetermined value, the switch turns off the sanitizer light.

FIXED POSITION HYBRID GERMICIDAL IRRADIATION APPARATUS, METHOD, AND SYSTEM
A hybrid germicidal irradiation apparatus, method, and system for multi-band germicidal irradiation. A first emitter, a second emitter and a third emitter may be coupled to a housing configured to be coupled to a ceiling of an interior room. The first emitter, the second emitter and the third emitter may respectively be operable to emit UV-C radiation at a wavelength of about 265 nanometers, near-UV radiation at a wavelength of about 405 nanometers and visible light at a wavelength greater than 405 nanometers.
