Abstract: A full facial host mask is provided that may have a portion that may be removed and re-mated with the host mask. The removable portion may be, for example, a biological mask (e.g., a UV-C device that may include several UV-C light sources (e.g., UV-C LEDs) and such UV-C LEDs may have UV-C reflecting structures arranged to direct UV-Cina particular direction and at a particular size and shape). The UV-C generating device in the removable satellite mask ay be utilized in the breathing stream to provide a low-air resistance, long duration, high performance mask for biological (e.g., DNA-based, RNA-based, gram-positive bacteria, and gram-negative bacteria). The full facial mask may include mechanical filters (e.g., filters having 300 nm pores or smaller), chemical filters, and/or nuclear particulate filters. In doing so, a single mask may be issued to an entity (e.g., a warfighter) that can provide a full facial mask as well as partial face mask so various mission profiles may be achieved.

Objects may travel through the work area without direct human intervention so that a hands-free sanitization system is provided. For example, objects may be dropped through a working area so that gravity provides a transport force through that working area.

Abstract: A UV-C generator is provided where multiple UV-C LEDs are provided around a work area (e.g., a tube) in order to sterilize contaminants in that work area (e.g., virus and/or bacteria) to provide a sterilization device for substances in, or flowing through, the work area. The tube may gates to change the speed and/or direction of a flowing working substance and may have a spiraling channel in the tube such that the length of travel in the spiraling channel is longer than the tube. Such UV-C generator devices may be utilized, for example, to sanitize air flowing through devices such as a ventilator or face mask.

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.

The transaction indication algorithm may cause the processor to provide visible, audible and/or tactile indicators on the card based on the detection.

Abstract: A system may include a payment card that includes one or more chips that are operable to utilize information in a payment transaction to enact different functions. For example, a payment applet in a contact chip transaction (e.g., contact EMV transaction) or contactless chip transaction (e.g., contactless EMV transaction) may utilize information that flows through the chip (e.g., country, time, date, transaction amount, approval status) to trigger pre-stored messages or functions (e.g., switch to a payment option or account). Information may be introduced into the chip during a transaction as a result of manual input from the cardholder on the cardholder's phone or other device. Thus, transaction scripting (e.g., EMV scripting) may be utilized to let a card (e.g., static or powered) know that a function (e.g., change of account) is desired by a cardholder and the chip may, if not in the proper account, reset and restart the chip in a mode associated with the desired function (e.g., in the desired account).
