  • Publication number: 20190111169
    Abstract: The present device provides a safe, effective means of mobile ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. A control board within the main body of the device receives data from sensors that may variously measure orientation and speed of the main body as it moves along various surfaces for disinfection. In response to such data, the control board may brighten, dim, or completely shut off UV light-emitting diodes (UVLEs), both to prevent over- and under-exposure of the materials being disinfected, and to prevent a user from unsafely using the device.

  • Publication number: 20180132586
    Abstract: A cooler and methods of storing the cooler in a bag such as a purse are described herein. The cooler can have a strap allowing it to be used as a stand-alone device. The cooler can have securing devices such as magnets embedded within two pockets on a side wall of the cooler. The pockets can be located on the top half of the cooler to prevent tipping and are movable within the pockets so that the magnets can be positioned to avoid obstructions on the bag. The cooler magnets can be magnetically mated with magnets used with protective covers on the outside of the purse (zero purse modifications) or with magnets embedded within the purse wall.

  • Publication number: 20180066400
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to a mold inhibiting composition. The mold inhibiting composition can be used to treat various different substrates, including building material products, such as facing layers for wallboard. In general, any suitable paper product may be treated with the composition. The composition contains a mold inhibiting agent in combination with a defoamer. The mold inhibiting agent may comprise a pyrithione. The defoamer, on the other hand, may comprise an oil based defoamer containing metal oxide particles, such as silica particles. The mold inhibiting composition can be combined with a water repellent and applied to a substrate without excessive amounts of foam or froth being formed. The defoamer is selected so as to not interfere with the resulting water absorption properties of the product.

  • Patent number: 8779391
    Abstract: An exemplary sterilization system includes a self-propelled robotic mobile platform for locating and eradicating infectious bacterial and virus strains on floors (and objects thereon), walls, cabinets, angled structures, etc., using one or more ultraviolet light sources. A controller allows the system to adjust the quantity of ultraviolet light received by a surface by, for example, changing the intensity of energy input to a ultraviolet light source, changing a distance between a ultraviolet light source and a surface being irradiated, changing the speed/movement of the mobile platform to affect time of exposure, and/or by returning to contaminated areas for additional passes. The mobile platform may include a sensor capable of detecting fluorescence of biological contaminants irradiated with ultraviolet light to locate contaminated areas. The system is thus capable of “seek and destroy” functionality by navigating towards contaminated areas and irradiating those areas with ultraviolet light accordingly.
