  • Publication number: 20160175896
    Abstract: A device that eliminates contaminants before they can be transmitted throughout a structure. The device may include a platform housing a disinfection source for selectively emitting UV-C light. The platform has a top. The top has two areas that pass the UV-C light with the remaining area of the top unable to pass the UV-C light. The two areas of the top are capable of supporting a person standing on the areas with a foot respectively on each area. The disinfection source is configured to emit the UV-C light when a person stands on the two areas, but not when there is no person standing on the two areas. The disinfection source may be removable from the platform for use in disinfecting objects.

  • Patent number: 5505336
    Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a frozen product utilizes a collapsible container which is prefilled with the product. The container is removably inserted within a housing defining a thermally insulated chamber and having a refrigeration system for cooling the chamber, and a pointed tubular member adapted to puncture the container when it is disposed in the chamber. To dispense the product, a powered member pushes upon the container toward the pointed tubular member to force the frozen product out through the opening and through the tubular member. A shut-off valve is coupled with the tubular member for selectively preventing the frozen product from being dispensed.
