Edbertho Leal-Quiroz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20220047732
    Abstract: A system and method that include using biophotonic and/or phononic systems for deactivating viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that may be present on people, their clothing, or other surfaces. Biophotonic refers to the use of photons in specific wavelengths of the FAR Ultraviolet C radiation and/or FAR Infrared C radiation to affect the interior structure and chemistry of bacteria and viruses to degrade them and render them harmless. The infrared radiation may also provide a phononic effect that degrades the physical conditions of the cell or virus sufficiently to disrupt the cellular machinery, deactivating the virus. Furthermore, a higher temperature Inside the UVIR system makes negligible the rate of propagation of the Virus. The system of the present invention is operable to use electromagnetic radiation to disinfect the exterior surfaces of living mammal animals without harming the animal's tissue, but still effective to degrade microbe and sanitize the exterior surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20210369879
    Abstract: A system and method that include using biophotonic and/or phononic systems for deactivating viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that may be present on people, their clothing, or other surfaces. Biophotonic refers to the use of photons in specific wavelengths of the FAR—Ultraviolet C radiation and/or FAR—Infrared C radiation to affect the interior structure and chemistry of bacteria and viruses to degrade them and render them harmless. The infrared radiation may also provide a phononic effect that degrades the physical conditions of the cell or virus sufficiently to disrupt the cellular machinery, deactivating the virus. Furthermore, a higher temperature Inside the UVIR system makes negligible the rate of propagation of the Virus.
