A device and system for an automatic robot, drone, and/or courier to deliver, hold, protect, and return parcels. The multi-user system has DRONEDEK docking features and include a small footprint combination; nine to 400 parcel capacity; has a multi-belt conveyor and turntables for parcels; uses omni-directional and cross roller turns; is compatible with re-usable packaging; has a parcel tilt and reload for return packages; utilizes a lightweight frame; has secure outer skin and access panels for maintenance; communicates and is controlled by DRONEDEK docking station; can use robotic unload/pick and place, multiple delivery/receiving, and can attach to other third-party parcel systems. A multi-user box is quite simply a unit with the functionality of one or more DRONEDEK docking stations and features numerous/multiple pigeonholes and container spaces for safe, secure storage of items to separate and distinct users in a bulk location.

A drying system includes a base, a fan assembly within the base capable of creating an air flow, and at least one elongate, hollow drying arm configured to receive an article to be dried, in communication with the air flow, wherein the at least one drying arm includes at least one aperture allowing said air flow to escape therefrom.

Ultrasound gel-treating stations, systems, and methods enable at least germicidal ultraviolet (UV)-light treatment of ultrasound gel. For example, an ultrasound gel-treating station can include a housing, a cavity within the housing, and one or more UV-light sources disposed in the cavity or the housing about the cavity. The cavity within the housing can be configured to hold one or more bottles of ultrasound gel. The one-or-more UV-light sources can be configured for irradiating the one-or-more bottles of ultrasound gel with germicidal radiation when the one-or-more bottles of ultrasound gel are disposed in the cavity. Heat dissipated by the one-or-more UV-light sources can warm the one-or-more bottles of ultrasound gel. Additionally or alternatively, the ultrasound gel-treating station can further include one or more heating elements disposed in the cavity or the housing about the cavity for warming the one-or-more bottles of ultrasound gel.

A system may automatically conduct hygiene cycles for a confined space such an interior space of a box suitable for storing and/or carrying packaged food. The system may include a hygiene device that can be attached to the box to conduct the hygiene cycles and a user interface device that can wirelessly communicate with the hygiene device to control the conduction of the hygiene cycles. The system may also automatically collect information related to the hygiene cycles using the hygiene device and transmit the collected information to a network directly or through the user interface device.

A sterilization and deodorization waste container having dual-wave band ultraviolet lamp tube includes an isolation chamber provided on an inner side of a container lid and a dual-wave band ultraviolet lamp tube installed in the isolation chamber. The dual-wave band ultraviolet lamp tube is capable of simultaneously generating a direct ultraviolet light wave and an ozone ultraviolet light wave. The isolation chamber includes a reflector housing having a light transmitting window facing an inner cavity of a container body. The dual-wave band ultraviolet lamp tube is controlled by a control circuit to turn on to generate the ultraviolets into an inner cavity of the container body while the container lid is closed and to turn off to stop generating the ultraviolet while the container lid is opened.

The present disclosure provides aseptic vial piercing and sterilization systems, and methods of assembling, using and sterilizing same. The systems and methods utilize a pre-sterilized primary container including a first end, a first cavity, a second end with an opening in communication with the first cavity, a septum at least partially sealing the opening, and a product within the first cavity. The systems and methods include an injection assembly including a first end portion of a hollow flowpath forming member. The injection assembly and the primary container may be assembled in a non-sterile environment to form a second cavity extending about the first end portion of the flowpath forming member and to the primary container. The second cavity may then be selectively sterilized in a non-deleterious manner to the product to allow the first end portion to aseptically pierce the septum to extend into the first cavity.
