Publication number: 20220111098Abstract: A system and method for disinfecting hard surfaces in an area such as a hospital room including a light source emitting UV light and a reflector mounted behind the light source for concentrating and directing the light toward a target. The light source and reflector rotate to direct the concentrated beam around a room, thereby making more efficient use of the energy being emitted.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Applicant: Surfacide, LLCInventors: Michael Scott Garner, Thomas Smigelski, Timothy Mathew G. Escolin, Waldemar John Lyslo

Patent number: 10638849Abstract: A body support structure includes a base and a cushion moveable between a seating configuration and a sleeping configuration. The cushion may include foldable first and second sections. In one embodiment, a spacer includes first and second support surfaces, and is pivotal between an upright position, wherein the first support surface engages and supports the cushion in the seating configuration, and a down position, wherein the second support surface engages and supports the cushion in the sleeping configuration. Methods of reconfiguring a body support structure are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: STEELCASE INC.Inventors: Matthew David Remelts, Devon Robert Robinson, Steven James Beukema, Vernie F. Holford, Adam C. Bedford, Michael Scott Garner, Marc Eberlein
