  • Far UV-C light apparatus
    Patent number: 11786622
    Abstract: A Far UV-C light apparatus has a Far UV-C lamp located within a housing emitting a Far UV-C light having a wavelength of 222±1 nm for destroying pathogens. A quarter wave generator supplies electric energy to the Far UV-C lamp. A handle connected to the housing allows the Far UV-C device to be hand held and moved to a selected location.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2023
    Assignee: ULTRA-VIOLET SOLUTIONS, LLC
    Inventors: Thomas J. Godfroy, Robert V. Albertson
  • FAR UV-C LIGHT DEVICE
    Publication number: 20220305158
    Abstract: A Far UV-C light device has a Far UV-C lamp located within a housing emitting a Far UV-C light having a wavelength of 222+/?1 nm for destroying pathogens. A handle connected with a body to a housing allows the Far UV-C device to be hand held and moved to a selected location. The handle is attached to a battery that provides electric energy that excites the Far UV-C lamp to emit Far UV-C light.
