Abstract: An apparatus for destroying pathogens includes a platform and an LED matrix panel. The platform has a portion configured to permit passage of ultraviolet light therethrough. The LED matrix panel is disposed below the portion of the platform and includes a grid and a plurality of discreetly-controlled, ultraviolet light LEDs (UV LEDs). The grid defines a plurality of cells. Each UV LED is associated with one cell such that the cells direct the ultraviolet light emitted by the UV LEDs upwardly through the portion of the platform to sanitize an object supported on the portion of the platform.

Abstract: An apparatus for destroying microorganisms includes a housing, a platform, a reflective tray, and a source of ultraviolet light. The platform is supported on the housing and is configured to permit passage of ultraviolet light at an angle therethrough. The reflective tray is disposed within the housing. The source of ultraviolet light is disposed adjacent the reflective tray such that the reflective tray directs ultraviolet light emitted by the source of ultraviolet light through the platform.
