SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DEACTIVATION OF VIRUSES AND OTHER ORGANISMS WITH MOBILE ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT DEVICES
Provided are mobile imaging devices and methods thereof. A mobile imaging device includes a plurality of light source sets, sensors, and a controller. At least one program is non-transiently stored in and executable by the controller. The program causes the controller to perform a method including acquiring a corresponding value for each condition in a first plurality of conditions when the device is at a first position using the sensors to collect a plurality of measurements associated with a region of interest that is not exposed to the plurality of light source sets. The method includes firing with the device held at the first position, if the corresponding value satisfies a corresponding condition specification for a respective condition in the first plurality of conditions, the plurality of light source sets based on a second plurality of conditions. Accordingly, light emits that is substantially limited to a spectral range.
TERMINAL STERILIZATION OF BIOLOGICS
The invention involves the use of supercritical or near supercritical fluids to inactivate pathogens in biologic materials which may or may not be contaminated by pathogens. The pathogen reduced material is then inserted into empty, sterile containment vessels. The apparatus can be used as a means to achieve terminal sterilization of the biologic materials. The preferred method of use for the apparatus includes operation of a conveyor belt to move and fill bottles, flasks, containers, or vials in an assembly line to create the finished product in an effective and timely fashion.
System and Method of Managing Requirements for Foodstuffs with Processing Line Changes
A system and a method of managing requirements for foodstuffs with processing line changes output assessment reports and work orders for an efficient processing of products. The system includes at least one computing system which manages and processes information inputted by the user. A user can create product profiles which include attribute information. The attribute information can be entered or selected by the user. The computing system compares the product profiles amongst each other in order to identify compatible product profiles and incompatible product profiles. The computing system then generates at least one processing instruction for each product profile based on the compatible product profiles and the incompatible product profiles. The processing instruction for each product profile is outputted as an assessment report and a work order which can be used to instruct employees on how to clean and verify products in a production line.
VEHICLE IGNITION INTERLOCK DECONTAMINATION AND CALIBRATION STATION
A decontamination and calibration station for vehicle ignition interlock devices that includes a self-contained structure that receives and encloses an interlock device operatively connected thereto. The station includes at least one calibration reference standard operatively connected to a valve assembly of the station, which is fluidly and operatively connected to an interior of the station and the interlock device for calibration of the device. The station includes a decontamination feature to sanitize and disinfect the station and/or the interlock device. The decontamination feature can include at least one UV-C bulb fixture mounted in the station and/or disinfectant operatively connected to the station and interlock device. The station includes a control system for controlling calibration of the interlock device and the decontamination feature, which can be a computer operatively connected directly to the interlock device and the station or a processor integrated into the station controlled by a remote device.
STERILIZATION CASE
A sterilization case includes a case body having a seating surface configured to seat an object to be sterilized, a case cover that is coupled to the case body, the case cover and the case body defining an accommodation space that is configured to accommodate therein the object to be sterilized, a sterilization module that is provided at the case body and configured to sterilize the object to be sterilized, and a reflective pattern provided at an inner surface of the case cover and configured to reflect ultraviolet light emitted from the sterilization module onto a surface of the object to be sterilized.
INACTIVATION APPARATUS AND INACTIVATION METHOD
Disclosed herein is an inactivation apparatus for inactivating microorganisms and/or viruses on a surface of an object, comprising: an ultraviolet light irradiation unit having a light emission surface configured to emit light including ultraviolet light having a wavelength that inactivates the microorganisms and/or viruses; and a controller unit configured to control irradiation of the light by the ultraviolet light irradiation unit, the ultraviolet light included in the light emitted from the light emission surface being ultraviolet light having a center wavelength of 200 nm to 230 nm, and the controller unit controlling the ultraviolet light irradiation unit to irradiate the surface of the object with the ultraviolet light to form a region, on tire surface of the object, in which irradiance of the ultraviolet light having the wavelength of 200 nm to 230 nm becomes equal to or greater than 10 μW/cm.sup.2.
SHOE SOLE DISINFECTION DEVICE
The invention discloses a shoe sole disinfection device, comprising at least one body, and a receiving structure. The body and the receiving structure are connected to each other by a first main pipe. As a result, the liquid storing in the receiving structure may flow through the first main pipe to the body when the shoes are disposed on the body, and it thus released to the sole for shoes, to enable disinfection for the shoe sole.
Non-Contact Ultrasound Disinfection System and Method
A system and method for disinfecting a person's skin and clothing, using non-contact ultrasonic waves is disclosed. This involves a ring or other assembly that includes a number of ultrasound transducers that surround a person, and that direct ultrasonic waves inward towards the person. The transducer assembly may be moved along the person's height so that the person's skin and clothing are disinfected.
Anti-microbial, disinfection chamber respiratory face mask/shield
A self-sterilizing, face mask, respirator, open or enclosed face shield employs germicidal, far UV-C light safe for direct human exposure, mitigating risk of acquisition or transmission of respiratory pathogens, such as COVID 19. Device attachments or special lenses direct far UV-C light into the respiratory chamber and/or reservoir areas of infection including nasal, oropharyngeal or ocular areas to reduce or eliminate pathogens, serving also as a treatment modality. In a preferred embodiment the face shield has a removable front section, which can be exchanged or replaced with sections that include various functional attributes while maintaining germicidal protections and avoiding need to remove PPE during these activities including consumption of liquids, oral medications or food, as well as providing antimicrobial absorbent sneeze or cough guard or rhinorrhea secretion absorption, or a communication device to address communication deficiencies caused by respiratory protection barriers.
PROCESSING DEVICE FOR CURRENCY BILLS AND A METHOD OF USE THEREOF
A currency bill processing device for counting, denominating, discriminating, and/or sorting the currency bills and subsequently disinfecting the currency bills without any manual intervention. The currency bill processing device can process the currency bills at a speed of up to 1000 bills per minute. The currency bill processing device includes one or more elongated UV-C LED strips mounted on a rigid aluminum or copper base which can be mounted on an outer or exposed side of a support plate or reject receptacle plate or stacker guide bar plate located at the end of the currency bill conveying path. A disinfection unit of the currency bill processing device including the elongated UV-C LED strip that can activate and deactivate with turning-on and -off of the currency bill conveying mechanism respectively.
