Abstract: A system for treating plant material uses a vessel capable of being brought to a vacuum and/or pressurized and maintained at a relatively low temperature. Plant material is placed within the vessel and the vessel draws a vacuum or is pressurized. A control system may monitor and control the creation of a vacuum, flow rate of a gas from a gas tank into the vessel, the temperature in the vessel, the flow rate of gas out of the vessel, and the pressure of the vessel.

Abstract: A system and method for safe decontamination of a vehicle cabin while passengers can be present are disclosed that uses and/or has at least one data storage, at least one processor, at least one infrared (“IR”) sensor, and at least one ultraviolet (“UV”) emitter having a beam steering module. At least one contaminated area in the vehicle cabin is tracked using IR sensor data from the IR sensor. It is determined if there's a direct line of sight between the UV emitter and the at least one contaminated area. If so, UV emitter is activated to target the at least one contaminated area and blocking UV illumination on non-contaminated areas of the vehicle cabin and areas temporarily covered by a passenger.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an oxygen cleaning chamber with UV radiation generator temperature control and a method of atomic oxygen cleaning a substrate. The atomic oxygen cleaning chamber includes a process chamber and a cooling chamber coupled to the process chamber and a divider sealingly separating the process chamber from the cooling chamber. An ultraviolet (UV) radiation generator is disposed in the cooling chamber and provides UV radiation through the divider into the process chamber. A gas distribution assembly distributes ozone over an upper surface of a pedestal in the process chamber and a coolant distribution assembly distributes cooling gas into the cooling chamber to cool the UV radiation generator. By actively cooling the UV radiation generator, a higher intensity UV radiation at a stable wavelength is produced, i.e., without wavelength drift normally associated with high power UV radiation generator outputs.

Abstract: A sieve tray for receiving objects to be disinfected or sterilized includes a base which has a plurality of openings and a base plane delimited by lateral walls. The base is a sheet metal part which has corrugations or indentations which protrude out of the base plane towards the sieve tray interior and/or sieve tray exterior such that the sheet metal part imitates a meshwork structure.

Abstract: A sanitization system for an aircraft cabin may comprise: a cabin of an aircraft; a light system including a lighting unit configured to emit an electromagnetic radiation output between 300 and 430 nanometers (“nm”); an external reactive oxygen species (ROS) generator in fluid communication with the cabin, wherein the sanitization system is configured to disinfect a target area of the cabin by targeting the target area with the electromagnetic radiation output and the ROS.

Abstract: A mobile sanitization system includes a movable trolley having an arm that is extendable between a first position in which the arm is in a collapsed state and a second position in which the arm is extended outwardly. The mobile sanitization system includes at least one ultraviolet light source coupled to the arm that is configured to illuminate to disinfect. The mobile sanitization system includes a source of liquid disinfectant and at least one nozzle fluidly coupled to the source of liquid disinfectant. The nozzle is coupled to at least one of the trolley and the arm, and the nozzle is configured to dispense the liquid disinfectant. The mobile sanitization system includes a spray wand removably coupled to the trolley and fluidly coupled to the source of liquid disinfectant. The spray wand is removable from the trolley to dispense the liquid disinfectant to disinfect a targeted area.

Abstract: A sterilization system for a vehicle includes an outer housing configured to rotate about a first shaft and having an opening formed to face an interior space, an inner housing installed inside the outer housing, exposed to the interior space through the opening, configured to rotate about a second shaft, and having a light transmitting portion through which sterilizing light is transmitted, a light source embedded in the inner housing and configured to irradiate the sterilizing light toward the light transmitting portion, and a driver configured to rotate the outer housing and the inner housing to irradiate the sterilizing light to the interior space and to change an irradiation angle of the sterilizing light.

Abstract: Methods and cleaning compositions for reduction of nucleic acid contamination on surfaces, in air, and in solutions using modified pectin are provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting medically related events at a point of sale are disclosed herein. An example method of detecting droplets associated with a sneeze or cough at a point of sale includes: capturing, by an image sensor associated with a checkout workstation, one or more images; analyzing, by one or more processors, the images captured by the image sensor associated with the checkout workstation, to detect an indication that one or more droplets associated with a sneeze or cough are present upon one or more equipment associated with the checkout workstation; and triggering, by the one or more processors, a disinfection of the checkout workstation responsive to detecting the indication that the one or more droplets associated with the sneeze or cough are present upon the one or more equipment associated with the checkout workstation.

Abstract: A sterilizing method for sterilizing a sterilization object housed in a chamber 11 includes a first vapor injection step S502 for injecting vapor produced from a first aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide to an inside of the chamber 11, an ozone injection step S505 for injecting ozone gas to the inside of the chamber 11 after the first vapor injection step S502, and a second vapor injection step S507 for injecting vapor produced from a second aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide to the inside of the chamber 11 after the ozone injection step S505. A total amount of the hydrogen peroxide included in the second aqueous solution is smaller than or equal to a total amount of the hydrogen peroxide included in the first aqueous solution.

Abstract: A sterilizing method for sterilizing a sterilization object housed in a chamber 11 includes an ozone preparation step S504 for filling an inside of a buffer tank 34 with ozone gas, and an ozone injection step S505 for injecting the ozone gas filled in the inside of the buffer tank 34 into the chamber 11.

Abstract: The peeling member is disposed inside the inner tank. The switching mechanism is provided for switching between the state of rotating the peeling member in the interlocking manner with the inner tank and the state of being disconnected the peeling member from the inner tank. With the peeling member disconnected from the inner tank, one of them is rotated, the used paper diaper stored is peeled off from the inner surface of the inner tank, and then, the used paper diaper processed in the processing tank is discharged from the bottom of the processing tank to the take-out unit via the opening and closing unit.
