This invention relates to a prosthetic accessory sterilizer (1), and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a prosthetic liner or sleeve sterilizer. In accordance with this invention there is provided a prosthetic accessory sterilizer comprising an elongate support (3) for receiving a sleeve thereover, a number of ventilation openings (4) in the elongate support (3), air movement means to move air through the ventilation openings (4) and an airborne produced particle that kills bacteria, for example ozone, but not exclusively ozone.

A sanitizing cup that is advantageously used in a vehicle interior. The sanitizing cup includes a cup base and a sanitizing compartment extending at least partially from the cup base. The sanitizing compartment has a sanitizing area which can be used to sanitize an object, such as a user's face mask. The sanitizing cup also includes a hand sanitizer dispenser extending at least partially from the cup base, from the sanitizing compartment, or from both of the cup base and the sanitizing compartment. A combined hand and mask sanitizing cup provides enhanced in-vehicle disinfection capabilities.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses involving devices with disinfecting illumination are provided. An example apparatus comprises a container comprising a first side and a second side, a first array of light emitters disposed on the first side and configured to emit a first light within a wavelength range of 380-420 nanometers (nm) and having a first intensity, and a second array of light emitters disposed on the second side and configured to emit a second light within the wavelength range of 380-420 nm and having a second intensity, wherein the first intensity comprises an intensity sufficient to initiate inactivation of micro-organisms, and wherein the first array of light emitters and the second array of light emitters are configured to collectively create a multi-dimensional space of disinfection.

Apparatus for sterilizing surfaces and apparatus for sterilizing air and enclosed objects using gliding arc discharge technology are described, whereby disinfecting products formed in the discharge are prevented from escaping from the apparatus into the ambient air.

A device for cleaning a target includes a housing including a base defining an inner circumference and a lid; a chamber within the housing having a top within the lid, a bottom within the base, and at least one UV reflective plate; at least one UV emitter attached to the housing and positioned to emit UV radiation into the chamber; and a support attached to the base and located in the chamber, the support configured for locating the target so that the UV radiation illuminates the target. The support may be formed of a plurality of ribs and/or a plurality of protrusions configured so that the target is supported thereon without falling onto the base. The at least one UV emitter may be upper and lower UV emitters, either or both of which may be one or more arrays.

Disclosed is a portable sterilization case for personal protective equipment and small articles, such as a mobile phone. The portable sterilization case includes a box body having an opening and inner volume for receiving the articles. The portable sterilization case further includes a cover coupled to the box body forming an enclosed case. The cover is coupled through a hinge joint allowing the cover to pivot in an open position and close position. The inner sides of each the box body and the cover can have an integrated ultraviolet (UV) lamp having a UV-C spectrum configuration. The portable sterilization case further includes a lock member for securing the cover to the box body. In one case, the lock member can be a magnet/magnet pair or magnet/iron pair.

Disclosed is a pet care robot station including: a housing including an entrance allowing a pet care robot to enter and exit, and an accommodating space to accommodate the pet care robot; a door provided in the housing to open and close the entrance; and a sterilizer provided in the accommodating space to remove foreign materials from an outer surface of the pet care robot.

An apparatus for cleaning a pet's paw includes a cylindrical container for holding water and/or cleaning fluid, a cap configured to cover the top opening and to accept insertion of the pet's paw, a cylindrical brush element, a base for holding the cylindrical container, an electrical motor configured to interface with the cylindrical brush element so as to spin the cylindrical brush element to clean the pet's paw, a controller configured to control the electrical motor, the controller configured to activate the electrical motor to spin in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions, to move upwards and downwards along the central longitudinal axis, and to move radially away from and towards the central longitudinal axis, and one or more UV lights located within the cylindrical container, the one or more UV lights configured to sanitize by emitting UV light.

A contactless delivery locker may have a locker housing with a locker door fitted to the locker housing. A disinfecting system may be arranged to disinfect the locker content and a remotely actuable lock may be arranged to secure the locker door in a closed position and actuable to release the locker door. A controller associated with the lock may be configured to actuate the lock and a wireless interface may be connected to the controller and configured to receive a command to actuate the lock to release the locker door. The controller may operate to control actuation of the lock to release the locker door upon detection of a command to actuate the lock and release the locker door. The controller may be configured to report lock status information to a user to confirm if a locker has been opened after completion of a disinfecting cycle.

An ultraviolet (UV) dryer comprising a housing, a first set of UV lights, a control interface, a device memory, and a device processor storing a device application. The housing can comprise a first chamber mounted on said housing, said first chamber comprising a first access door that is configured to enclose said first set of UV lights within the inner surface of said first chamber. The first set of UV lights comprising a first plurality of UV lights. The control interface can be placed at the front panel of said housing, said control interface comprising one or more inputs capable of operating said UV dryer. The device processor can receive input data through said one or more inputs and implement a set of instructions from said input data, wherein one of said set of instructions include disinfecting the daily used items using said first set of ultraviolet (UV) lights.
