Abstract: A manually operable disinfection wand provides to a user feedback indicating effectiveness of disinfection during treatment of a target surface. The disinfection wand comprises an illuminator section having an illuminator light source, a handle section, a coupling mechanism, and a position sensor. The coupling mechanism enables a user to rotate an illuminator cover in the illuminator section relative to the handle section to selectively allow passing of light emitted by the illuminator light source for incidence on the target surface. The illuminator cover can be rotated relative to the handle section also to block the light emitted by the illuminator light source. The position sensor is placed in the disinfection wand to produce for observation by the user a signal that is indicative of speed of motion of the disinfection wand and thereby its effectiveness in disinfecting the target surface.

Abstract: A portable hybrid generator system includes a first unit and a second unit. The first unit includes a first housing, a first output port, and a primary energy source disposed within the first housing. The primary energy source is electrically coupled to the first output port. The second unit is separate from the first unit. The second unit includes a second housing, an input port, a second output port, and an energy storage device disposed within the second housing. The energy storage device is electrically coupled to the input port and the second output port. The energy storage device includes at least one battery. The input port and the first output port facilitate selectively electrically coupling the first unit to the second unit to charge the energy storage device. The primary energy source is specifically calibrated or calibratable to charge the energy storage device based on the at least one battery.

Abstract: A portable hybrid generator may comprise a sturdy portable housing configured for easy movement and transport, an inverter for managing renewable and non-renewable energy sources, one or more batteries with or without a battery management system, one or more solar panels and solar panel combiner box, a communications systems, and a generator. In some instances the portable hybrid generator may comprise a communications system equipped to simplify the usage, maintenance, and control of the portable hybrid generator.

Abstract: A sanitization device comprises primary emitters configured to emit sanitizing electro-optical (EO) radiation into an interior compartment. A support member is configured to hold and/or secure a target object within the interior compartment of a sanitization device. An end portion of the support member may extend into a secondary compartment comprising a secondary emitter configured to produce external stimulus adapted to excite and recover primary emitters from dormancy. The support member is configured to transmit EO radiation produced by the secondary emitter into the interior compartment to thereby prevent and/or recover from dormancy conditions of the primary emitters. Detection circuitry can detect activation failures of the primary emitters. Thermal management circuitry can limit certain critical failures of a sanitization device that result from activation failures of primary emitters.
