Embodiments of a unified airflow system for ultraviolet disinfection devices are disclosed. One embodiment of the present disclosure includes a unified airflow assembly and a control unit. The unified airflow assembly provides a shared airflow passage between a UV source and an airflow accessory capable of extracting contaminants from a target surface using a suction airstream. The UV source may be fluidically disconnected from the airflow accessory. The unified airflow assembly may include at least one air restriction unit in the shared airflow passage for manipulating a suction airstream therein. The control unit may be configured to drive the at least one air restriction unit to restrict the suction airstream to only one of the UV source and the airflow accessory.

A system for collecting waste from an area includes a robotic device including a housing, a control system within the housing, which includes a processor system and a memory system in operative connection with the processor system, a power system in operative connection with the control system, a sensor system in operative connection with the control system, one or more drive wheels (each of the drive wheels being in operative connection with a motor which is in operative connection with the power system and with the control system), a waste retrieval system in operative connection with the power system and with the control system, and a receptacle compartment within the housing. The control system includes one or more location/identification algorithms stored in the memory system and executable by the processor system to locate an object of animal waste in the area based upon data received from the sensor system. The control system further includes one or more positioning algorithms stored in memory and executable by the processor system to position the robotic device relative to the object of animal waste to enable collection of the object of animal waste via the waste retrieval system. Additionally, the control system includes one or more retrieval algorithms to actuate the waste retrieval system and control the waste retrieval system to bring the object of animal waste into the receptacle compartment.

The multifunction machine for cleaning and sanitizing surfaces and environments that has a body-machine that includes: a waste suction device; a wet filtration and collection device of sucked waste; a steam generating and steam expulsion device towards said surfaces and environments; a primary circuit for circulating sucked air and waste having a first inlet and a first outlet obtained in the body machine; a secondary circulation circuit for air which has a second inlet and a second outlet obtained in the body machine which also includes an ionizing device placed on said secondary circuit.

An autonomous cleaner includes: a main body including a housing, a drive wheel (wheel) attached to the housing, and a drive unit that drives the drive wheel; a map storage unit that stores map information for the main body to travel; a determination unit that determines whether the main body approaches or comes into contact with a person infected with at least one of a virus and a bacterium; and a map information corrector that reflects, in the map information stored in the map storage unit, contact information on approach or contact of the main body with the infected person determined by the determination unit.

A method and a device for cleaning and disinfecting a textile surface by means of UVC radiation. Furthermore, the invention relates to a disinfection box (2) generating UVC radiation. The textile surface to be cleaned is imaged before and after cleaning. On the basis of the surface area of the textile surface a duration of treatment is set. The disinfection box (2) comprises at least one UVC light source (4) of elongated shape as well as a ballast (5) to control the same. The cleaning device for cleaning and disinfecting a textile surface comprises, in addition to the disinfection box (2), a commercially available industrial vacuum cleaner (1), on the front side of which the disinfection box (2) is arranged.

The down and dirty sanitizer is the only product of its kind that is specifically designed to completely disinfect and sanitize dance poles, primarily used in adult entertainment, with an avant-garde UV light technology that works hand-in-hand with sound systems and a vacuum suctioning mechanism. The down and dirty sanitizer is uniquely designed with durable materials to ensure long-term sustainability and can be discreetly installed and operated in various settings where pole dancing is practiced and/or performed by varying dancers.

A cleaning system includes a docking station. The docking station includes a station suction inlet configured to be fluidly coupled to a vacuum cleaner, a station dust cup configured to be removably fluidly coupled to the docking station, where the station dust cup includes a debris cavity; an odor control assembly fluidly coupled to the station dust cup; and a station suction motor configured to cause air to flow into the station suction inlet and through the station dust cup. The station suction motor is configured to generate an airflow through the odor control assembly and into the debris cavity.
