Publication number: 20250228989Abstract: A disinfection platform for at least partially disinfecting a proximal surface is provided. A disinfection apparatus includes a housing defining an aperture, a UV light source enclosed in the housing configured to project a UV illumination pattern toward a target disinfection area where the disinfection apparatus is disposed above one end and oriented at a downward angle. The illumination pattern output from the disinfection apparatus at least partially defined by louvers and an occlusion nose with reflective fins positioned at the aperture such that the illumination pattern at the target disinfection surface has improved intensity distribution. Multiple sensors cooperate with a control circuit operating the UV light source to provide intelligent and automated control with pattern detection, event based disinfection, and validation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2025Publication date: July 17, 2025Inventors: David W Baarman, Paul Byrne, Luke Platz, Ryan D. Schamper, Colin J. Moore

Patent number: 12053559Abstract: A dynamic treatment system incorporates multiple pathogen reduction devices and sensors for enhanced pathogen reduction. The system can provide coordinated multi-level control to provide automated engineered control of pathogen reduction that is suitable for use in confined spaces, such as building and vehicle systems. Room level occupancy tracking provides biological load level estimates while pressure level sensing provides pathogen travel path estimation through the building. Combining this pathogen load information and airflow path information the system can drive room level and building level pathogen reduction device adjustments to enhance pathogen reduction based on expected pathogen travel. Zone level pathogen interception, height adjustable portable treatment devices, along with various application specific pathogen reduction devices can be integrated into the dynamic treatment system.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: UV Partners, Inc.Inventors: David W Baarman, Paul Byrne, Colin J. Moore, Hai D. Nguyen, Luke Platz, Ryan D. Schamper, Michael Halloran
