Patent number: 8841634Abstract: Field balancing may be performed with an irradiation system including a plurality of adjustable radiant-energy emitters. The irradiation system powers the radiant-energy emitters from a power source and radiant energy is emitted from the radiant-energy emitters, where an amount of radiant energy emitted from each emitter is capable of being varied based on power received from the power source. A plurality of radiant-energy sensors detects an amount of radiant energy which includes radiant energy created directly by at least one of the radiant-energy emitters. The amount of radiant energy detected at at least two of the radiant-energy sensors is compared, and at least one of the radiant-energy emitters is adjusted by varying the power received from the power source so that the amount of radiant energy detected at each of the radiant-energy sensors tends towards becoming approximately equal.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2013Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Infection Prevention TechnologiesInventors: Mark Statham, Eric Engler, Steve Fister, Robert L. Gilling, Thomas A. Kenny, Rory Sayers, Clinton Starrs
