The disclosure is directed to a feeding system. The feeding system includes a housing that substantially forms an exterior surface of the feeding system, inside the housing includes an arm configured to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise to a plurality of positions, wherein the arm is configured to support a can; a can opener at a first position of the plurality of positions; and an opening of the housing at a second position of the plurality of positions.

A storage system for implementing crowdsourced delivery of a parcel can include a communication system configured to communicate wirelessly with an external server to receive an access setting, a storage locker, secured by a primary electronic locking mechanism, including a plurality of inner compartments each secured by respective secondary electronic locking mechanisms, one or more processors, and a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors and storing: a locking module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to set the primary electronic locking mechanism and at least one secondary electronic locking mechanism to open in response, respectively, to a primary code and a secondary code based at least in part on information received in the access setting.

The invention is an apparatus having a protective envelope which is designed and constructed to envelope at least one room region, such that the protective envelope is able to separate the at least one room region from an environment immediately surrounding the protective envelope, and use thereof. Methods for operating a production engineering unit under cleanroom conditions and for creating and operating a virus-free and cross-contamination free room region surrounded by a protective envelope for accommodating persons and/or objects subject to quarantine. The invention has a protective envelope with at least two layers separated by a spacer layer, that is flow-permeable.

A disinfecting human interface device with monitoring and safety enhancement system that utilizes user detection and sensors to detect proximity and is designed to provide user feedback on safety, disinfection and decorative lighting. Also having a UV transmissive material designed to enable disinfection of hard to reach surfaces. This disinfecting human interface device has an automatic interlock to protect the user from UV exposure and logs the exposure limits versus exposure. It is connected to a bus system that collects the data and programs the options and enables communications, and potentially to other networks like the cloud.

Disclosed is a radiant catalytic ionization detoxification system including a gas-liquid mixer configured to gas-liquid mix air carrying radiant catalytic ionized Reactive Oxygen Species with liquid material to be detoxified, and a reaction tube configured to circulate the mixed gas-liquid mixture. The detoxification system of the present disclosure is applicable to water sterilization or aflatoxin removal in edible oils. The radiant catalytic ionization chamber in the system can provide the system with air containing Reactive Oxygen Species, wherein mesh panels coated with photocatalytic materials are configured inside the chamber body, which configuration not only increases the photocatalytic material content per unit volume, but also expands the light-exposed surface area due to uniform distribution of the photocatalytic materials on the mesh panels. The system uses a U-shaped tube as the reaction tube, and the length of the reaction tube can be freely designed according to the practical detoxification requirements.

A method of treating microbial biomass includes mixing the microbial biomass in a liquid to form a suspension, the microbial biomass having an initial color, and exposing the suspension to light to form treated microbial biomass, the treated microbial biomass having a treated color. The treated color is lighter than the initial color. The microbial biomass can also have an initial taste and odor that are stronger than a treated taste and odor of the treated microbial biomass

A UV-treatment unit for reducing the amount of active or living micro-organisms in a liquid food product includes a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet and a set of translucent liquid tubes fluidly connected to the inlet and the outlet and defining a flow channel for the liquid. Each tube has a planar shape providing at least two turns for the flow direction between the inlet and the outlet. The unit includes one or more UV-light sources, which are configured to emit light in a wavelength range between 180-300 nm and arranged on at least one side of the set of liquid tubes. The unit optionally comprises an optical filter placed between the UV-light sources and the set of liquid tubes, the filter configured to prevent wavelengths of more than 300 nm to pass through the filter. Also, a system including the UV-treatment unit is described.
