Doing so may, for example, increase the UV-C in a particular direction or working area. A UV-C generating device may be utilized in an air stream, such as an air duct, to sterilize air from that air stream. Air may be pushed out of an annulus at the end of an air inactivation device and an annulus outlet cone may be provided in the middle of the annulus to assist, for example, inactivated air in moving smoothly away from the device and reduce pressure at the annulus exit. A UV-C inactivation tube may have UV-C reflective structures at each end to permit air to flow through the tube while reflecting UV-C light back into the tube.

Abstract: An air sanitization device is provided where a UV-C generator applied UV-C to infected air for sterilization and then the sterilized air is used to cool heat sinks attached to the UV-C. One or more fans can be utilized to push and/or pull air through the device. For example, the fans may create airflow in the device above, for example 200 liters per minute or above 400 liters per minute. Accordingly, a closed air system with a fan may push air through a UV-C generation device to sanitize air and the sanitized air may be pushed over a heat sink attached to the UV-C generation device and then pushed out of the closed air system into the environment. Thus, sanitized air may be circulated by the fan while being air cooled in a manner that does not circulate contaminated air.

Abstract: The present invention provides electron beam therapies with improved feedback control that delivers controlled and adjustable doses of electron beam radiation to variable shallow depths with little radiation exposure to both nearby tissues and tissues below the target. In order to control radiation to accurately penetrate to shallow depths and to allow the radiation to be adjusted to other depth settings in very small or even continuous increments, the present invention senses a plurality of different electron beam characteristics and then uses these to derive a composite characteristic, or analog, of the electron beam energy. The composite analog provides a strong correlation to energy that allows this precision. In another aspect, the present invention relates to implementing this feedback control by adjusting power levels used to establish the electron beam.
