  • Publication number: 20210348783
    Abstract: Devices for debilitating airborne infectious agents in an enclosed space, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed herein. A representative device includes a housing extending in an axial direction from a first to a second end. The housing includes an internal chamber defining an airflow pathway extending in the axial direction. The internal chamber includes a surface, at least a portion of which is reflective. The housing also includes a first opening toward the first end and positioned to allow air flow into the internal chamber, and a second opening toward the second end and positioned to allow air flow out of the internal chamber. The device can also include an air mover in fluid communication with the internal chamber and a light emitting diode (LED) component contained in the internal chamber. The LED component is positioned to emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation into the internal chamber toward the reflective surface.

  • Publication number: 20050036591
    Abstract: A telephone annunciator is disclosed which includes a voice ROM with a prerecorded message which is played back in response to a call received from an unwanted caller. A line current modulator is coupled with the voice ROM and the telephone line. A DTMF tone decoder circuit is coupled with the telephone line for decoding at least one DTMF code signal for producing a trigger signal. An on/off control circuit is responsive to the trigger signal for turning on the voice ROM whereby the telephone line current is modulated by the modulator in accordance with the audio signal from the voice ROM. A start-up power supply includes a storage capacitor and stores a charge in response to a ring signal on the telephone line. A main power supply is connected with the telephone line to receive power therefrom when an off-hook signal is detected.
