A footwear sole cleaning and sanitizing system including a housing having a top surface, first side positioned adjacent to a user entry portal, a second side positioned adjacent to a user exit portal, and railing mounted on the top surface. The system includes a debris remover arranged to remove debris from the footwear sole and a sanitizer arranged to remove contaminants from the footwear sole. The system further includes sensors arranged to generate sensor data based on a detected position of the footwear sole, a user interface arranged to provide cues to the user during operations of the device, and a controller arranged to: i) receive the sensor data from the sensors; i) control operations of the debris remover and sanitizer in response to the received sensor data, and iii) send cue instructions associated with the one or more cues to the user interface.

Devices, systems and methods for cleaning and disinfecting footwear items are disclosed herein. In an aspect, an apparatus is disclosed comprising an ultraviolet light element configured to emit ultraviolet light toward a top covering element configured to receive one or more contaminated item, wherein the ultraviolet light element is located within a lower frame element. In another aspect, a grating element is disclosed comprising a frame of bars configured to support the one or more contaminated item; wherein the grating element is a ceiling enclosure portion of the lower frame element. In yet another aspect, a brush frame element mounted to an underside of the grating element is disclosed, wherein the brush frame element comprises a set of brush strips configured to protrude through at least one space between the frame bars.

The present invention relates a package securing system comprising a package receptacle having an access door, a web-enabled control system, and a securing tether that is attached to the access door. The securing tether is operationally related to the securing tether actuator and repositions the access door in an open or a closed position. Upon receipt of an authorization, the access door transitions to the open position, by way of the securing tether. The open position allows the package to be inserted or removed from the package receptacle. The package is secured by transitioning the access door to the closed position, by way of the securing tether, after the package has been inserted into the package receptacle. An autonomous vehicle equipped with a vehicle web-enabled control system can make package pickups and deliveries. The autonomous vehicle can be a car, truck, drone, or other autonomous vehicles.

A UV shielding device including a sanitizing interface having a top surface arranged to support device positioned above the sanitizing interface where the sanitizing interface includes a translucent material arranged to allow UV light to pass through. The device also includes at least one shape sensor arranged to detect a shape of a surface of the device facing the sanitizing interface. The device further includes an adjustable UV emission interface that is positioned adjacent to the sanitizing interface and arranged to adjustably conform to the shape of the surface of the device facing the sanitizing interface, while also being arranged to emit the UV light toward sanitizing interface and device.

The present disclosure relates to an intelligent disinfection carpet, a carpet disinfection method, and a carpet disinfection device. The intelligent disinfection carpet can include a control module and a plurality of mutually independent disinfection elements. The control module is communicatively connected with the disinfection elements for controlling some or all of the plurality of mutually independent disinfection elements to release disinfection media.

An apparatus for cleaning, sanitizing and/or disinfecting footwear. The apparatus comprises a set of brushes defining a footwear receiving space. A plurality of water carrying channels are provided for directing water into the footwear receiving space through said set of brushes. A soiled water receiving tank is provided for collecting soiled water from the footwear receiving space. The apparatus is arranged such that relative movement of a piece of footwear received in the footwear receiving space with respect to the set of brushes in the presence of water being directed into the footwear receiving space via the plurality of water carrying channels cleans at least one surface of the received piece of footwear.

A UV emission interface cell including a sensor arranged to detect an object along an axis extending from the sensor, at least one UV light emitter arranged to emit UV light toward the object, and an activator circuit arranged to activate the at least one UV light emitter in response to the sensor detecting that the object is aligned along the axis extending from the sensor.
