SHOPPING CART STERILIZATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
20230011573 · 2023-01-12 · ·

A shopping cart sterilization system is provided comprising a sealable chamber with front and rear doors and a plurality of light arrays inside the chamber. The arrays comprise at least two horizontal fixtures attached along horizontal edges and at least one ultraviolet light bulb in each fixture for directing ultraviolet light at a cart in the chamber. The system also comprises a motor with pulleys and cables to move the arrays proximate and away from the cart. The system moves the light arrays proximate outer surfaces of the cart. Arrays are arranged in a basket arrangement for lowering into an internal area of the cart. Arrays are moved proximate a handle, a child seat, and wheels of the cart.

Pre-doffing disinfection systems and methods

Methods and systems are provided which project germicidal light from a lamp toward an individual donned in outerwear to disinfect the outerwear. In specific embodiments, germicidal light is projected toward an individual situated greater than approximately 1 foot from the light source. Some systems include sensor/s for detecting presence of an individual within a target area a set distance from the disinfection apparatus comprising the light source and program instructions for commencing operation of the disinfection apparatus based on information from the sensor/s. In addition or alternatively, some systems include reflective panel/s exhibiting greater than approximately 85% reflectance. In such cases, the systems may include program instructions for determining operating parameters of the disinfection apparatus and/or positions of the reflective panel/s based on information regarding an individual who is in the presence of the disinfection apparatus or who is scheduled to be in the presence of the disinfection apparatus.

READILY INTERCHANGEABLE LIGHT MODIFIER FOR A UV C FIXTURE
20230041901 · 2023-02-09 ·

A UV C light source including a UV C bulb adapted to emit and project UV C light at a wavelength and an interchangeable UV C light modifier through which at least a portion of the UV C light emitted from said UV C bulb is projected. The UV C light modifier may be reflective, such as a reflector, perforated, holographic material, or mechanical modifier such as a barn door. The UV C light modifier might produce a narrow pattern, circular pattern, flat pattern, or asymmetrical pattern or other desired geometric pattern, or upper air pattern. The UV C light modifier is easily removed and interchanged or may be selectable such as by receiving a base UV C fixture including the UV C light source of the present invention and selecting a desired light modifier.
