Combined Light Disinfection Device
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for combined light disinfection are disclosed. In some examples, a light fixture may comprise a first light source configured to emit a first light comprising a wavelength in a range of 380-420 nanometers (nm) and a second light source configured to emit a second light comprising a wavelength in a range of 200-230 nm, wherein the first light source and the second light source are separated to prevent degradation, by the second light, of the first light source, and wherein the first light and the second light combine to form a disinfecting light configured to initiate inactivation of microorganisms.
Apparatus and method for sterilizing material
A method of sterilizing material includes receiving the material in a sterilizing chamber, vaporizing sterilant supplied to vaporizer from a sterilant source, exposing the material to the vaporized sterilant by conducting a sterilization cycle in the sterilizing chamber, heating ambient filtered air supplied to the vaporizer from an ambient filtered air source, and removing residuals of the vaporized sterilant absorbed or adsorbed by the material during the sterilization cycle by conducting an aeration cycle in the sterilizing chamber. The removing of the residuals includes conducting a plurality of aeration pulses to provide the sterilizing chamber with an aeration atmosphere comprising the heated filtered air to vaporize the absorbed or adsorbed residuals, and conducting a plurality of aeration vacuum pulses to evacuate the aeration atmosphere and vaporized residuals from the sterilizing chamber.

METHODS, SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, AND DEVICES FOR FACILITATING SANITIZING INTERIOR SPACES OF AN AIRCRAFT USING A PRECONDITIONED AIR (PCA) SYSTEM
A method of facilitating sanitizing interior spaces of an aircraft using a pre-conditioned air (PCA) system. The method comprises cutting an opening in a duct wall of a pre-conditioned air (PCA) supply duct of the PCA system. Further, the method comprises installing a device in the PCA supply duct around the opening, coupling an inlet opening of the device with a device outlet port of a sanitizing device after the installing, wherein a sanitizing agent generator of the sanitizing device generates a sanitizing agent for transferring the sanitizing agent to the inlet opening through the device outlet port. Further, the method comprises injecting the sanitizing agent into the PCA supply duct from an outlet opening of the device based on the transferring. Further, the sanitizing agent mixes with the PCA based on the injecting. Further, the sanitizing agent is supplied to the interior space along with the PCA.

VEHICLE SURFACE DISINFECTANT SYSTEM AND METHOD
A vehicle surface disinfectant system includes a lighting module having at least one ultra-violet (UV) light element and at least one visible light element. The UV light element(s) and the visible light element(s) may be at least partially separately electrically actuated for the visible light element(s) to emit visible light while the UV light element(s) is off. The lighting module may be inserted into a lighting receptacle in an interior of a vehicle.
