An automated ultraviolet germicidal system sterilizes a sterilization area with an automated sterilization mechanism that is selectively actuated and terminated, depending on events in the sterilization area, and elapse of a predetermined time period. A sterilization mechanism selectively emits a germicide element in or near a sterilization area, so as to sterilize the sterilization area from germs. An actuation device operatively connects with the sterilization mechanism to regulate the actuation and termination of the germicide element generated by the sterilization mechanism. A command device, controlled by a user, transmits an actuation signal to the actuation device to actuate the sterilization mechanism, upon entry of a code. A termination device has a set of sensors that detects events near the sterilization area, and transmits a termination signal to the actuation device to terminate operation of the sterilization mechanism upon detection of the event, or after elapse of time period.

The present invention relates to a system and method for generating and dispersing a mixture of nanoparticles and ions for neutralization of airborne pathogens in enclosed environments. A nebulizer introduces a salt precursor into a flame ionization stage, which produces a mixture of ions and nanoparticles at concentrations of at least 1.010{circumflex over ()}12 particles per cubic centimeter of air. The nanoparticles have an average size of less than 10 nanometers, and at approximately equal proportions with the ions. The systems and methods of the present invention reduce the pathogen viability by neutralization, inactivation, and agglomeration, and operate substantially free of ozone and, in alternate embodiments, include a two-duct alternating filtration arrangement for efficiency. Methods of testing include introducing pathogen surrogates into a chamber, generating the mixture of nanoparticles and ions by flame ionization, dispersing the mixture, and analyzing samples using aerosol and microbiological characterization techniques.

An ultraviolet (UV) room-sterilization device includes an upper portion with germicidal lamps and movable shield walls mounted by multi-hinged arms. The walls move from a closed position to selected open positions to form a shadow area that protects occupants or equipment while permitting disinfection elsewhere. Hinge-position sensors and/or UV detectors generate a live emission map used to classify motion detected by onboard sensors: movement within the shadow is permitted, movement toward its boundary triggers a warning, and movement in exposed regions causes immediate lamp shutoff. A timer provides delayed start and cycle limits with code-based authorization. Embodiments include circumferential or sector lamps, retractable walls slotted into the housing, and floor, tabletop, or handheld form factors, enabling safe, targeted disinfection in occupied spaces.
