Abstract: A manually operable disinfection wand provides to a user feedback indicating effectiveness of disinfection during treatment of a target surface. The disinfection wand comprises an illuminator section having an illuminator light source, a handle section, a coupling mechanism, and a position sensor. The coupling mechanism enables a user to rotate an illuminator cover in the illuminator section relative to the handle section to selectively allow passing of light emitted by the illuminator light source for incidence on the target surface. The illuminator cover can be rotated relative to the handle section also to block the light emitted by the illuminator light source. The position sensor is placed in the disinfection wand to produce for observation by the user a signal that is indicative of speed of motion of the disinfection wand and thereby its effectiveness in disinfecting the target surface.

Abstract: A sanitization device comprises primary emitters configured to emit sanitizing electro-optical (EO) radiation into an interior compartment. A support member is configured to hold and/or secure a target object within the interior compartment of a sanitization device. An end portion of the support member may extend into a secondary compartment comprising a secondary emitter configured to produce external stimulus adapted to excite and recover primary emitters from dormancy. The support member is configured to transmit EO radiation produced by the secondary emitter into the interior compartment to thereby prevent and/or recover from dormancy conditions of the primary emitters. Detection circuitry can detect activation failures of the primary emitters. Thermal management circuitry can limit certain critical failures of a sanitization device that result from activation failures of primary emitters.

Abstract: A system for generating ambient conditions to improve sleep comprises an ambient condition controller. The ambient condition controller may control a light, a speaker, and multiple diffusers. The system may include a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement a sleep program. The sleep program may cause the ambient condition controller to be configured in a variety of states over a period of time.

Abstract: A personal electronic device (PED) sanitization device comprises a compartment configured to receive a plurality of PEDs and one or more emitters configured to emit electro-optical (EO) radiation into the interior of the compartment. The compartment may comprise a support member configured to maintain the plurality of PEDs such that substantially an entire surface of each of the plurality of PEDs is exposed to EO radiation emitted by the one or more emitters.

Abstract: A personal electronic device (PED) sanitization device comprises a compartment configured to receive a PED and a sanitization module configured to emit electro-optical (EO) radiation into the interior of the compartment. The compartment may comprise a support member configured to maintain the PED at a particular position and/or orientation. The support member may be transparent to the EO radiation, such that the entire surface of the PED can be irradiated. The device may further comprise an acoustic conduit to allow sounds generated by the PED to be transmitted outside of the compartment. The conduit may be configured to prevent EO radiation from leaking into the environment.
