  • Publication number: 20230114401
    Abstract: Method and disinfection system for disinfecting a closed space or surface including light fixtures fixedly positioned at predefined locations in a closed space. The disinfection system includes a UV emitter module positioned over a robotic system. The light fixtures and the UV emitter module emit ultraviolet C (UVC) light for disinfecting the closed space or a surface in the closed space. The disinfection system includes sensors for measuring the amount of UVC light delivered by the light sources and UV emitter module. The disinfection system includes a control system for determining a profile for the closed space or surface based on the amount of UVC light needed and corresponding time to disinfect. The control system communicatively connects to the sensors. The control system monitors the amount of UVC light and controls the operation of the light sources and UV emitter module to deliver the required amount of UVC light.

  • Patent number: 11154629
    Abstract: A sterilization system consisting of a mobile emitter, a sensing subsystem and a data logging subsystem is described. The emitter has one or more UV emitting lamps or devices. The sensing system comprises at least one remote UV sensor and at least one door sensor. The door sensor comprises a safety shut off door detector and may contain an emergency stop detector and arming detector to protect people from being exposed to UV energy. The system has a remote control for starting, stopping and setting system parameters which include but are not limited to: treatment time, dosage, room size, room number, unit number, floor, facility name, operator name, operator identification number, password, default dosage values, dosage, and patient identification number. The number of treatments per unit of time can be maximized because of the use of incident light measurement.

  • Publication number: 20210244839
    Abstract: Method, sterilization system and robotic system for improving duty cycle of Ultraviolet (UV) emitter modules disinfecting closed environment. Sterilization system includes robotic system and plurality of UV emitter modules. Robotic system receives signal corresponding to discharge of battery from one of plurality of UV emitter modules. Each of plurality of UV emitter modules includes UV light source for disinfecting closed environment. Robotic system detects location of UV emitter module amongst plurality of UV emitter modules and maneuvers to location of UV emitter module, mounts UV emitter module and maneuvers UV emitter module to charging dock for charging battery of UV emitter module. After charging, robotic system maneuvers UV emitter module to pre-defined area for disinfecting pre-defined area of closed environment.
