Abstract: A disinfection chamber may be configured for receiving a disinfecting vapor from a vapor source and channeling it to contact a surface of an instrument within the chamber. The vapor source may provide the vapor to the disinfecting chamber via an inlet in a chamber cover of the chamber. A vapor core within the disinfecting chamber may channel the vapor from the inlet through a length of the vapor core. A portion of the vapor may pass from an interior of the vapor core and contact the surface of the instrument. When the vapor contacts the surface, the vapor may disinfect the surface, and may deposit an anti-microbial film on the surface.

Abstract: A hand held steamer having a housing with an opening for injecting steam into an interior of the housing. A core is positioned in the interior of the housing. The core has holes for receiving the steam into an interior of the core. Spacers center the core within the interior of the housing, thereby forming a chamber in the interior of the housing around an exterior of the core. A device in need of sanitization can be placed in the interior of the core. A source of dry vapor steam is attached to the opening in the housing and the steam is injected into the interior of the housing, around the exterior of the core, and into the interior of the core. The steam sanitizes the surface of the device without damaging the rest of the device, as a result of uniform distribution of steam around the device.

Abstract: A system and method to permit users to have personal unique identifiers associated with personal information stored on a database accessed by an identity server is disclosed. The identity server is connected to one or more networks including the Internet. Users can distribute the personal unique identifier to third parties who can then obtain the personal information by accessing the server through the network. The users may modify the information stored in the database, which can then assist third parties in obtaining the modified information by inputting the personal unique identifier, or permitting client software to do so automatically on their behalf, in turn making updates to that information for the third party. This can be done over a large period of time such that third parties can easily access personal information of the user even if that information changes.
