SYSTEM FOR DISINFECTING A CLOSEABLE SPACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18270049 titled 'SYSTEM FOR DISINFECTING A CLOSEABLE SPACE
The invention described in the abstract is a system for disinfecting a closeable space using different wavelengths of light based on the state of the space.
- The system includes one or more light sources, a sensor, and a control system.
- In one mode, the light sources emit UV light with wavelengths between 100-380 nm for disinfection.
- In another mode, the light sources emit visible light with a centroid wavelength between 400-490 nm.
- The sensor detects the state of the closeable space (open or closed) and sends signals to the control system.
- The control system switches between modes based on the state of the space to optimize disinfection.
Potential Applications: - Hospitals - Laboratories - Cleanrooms - Food processing facilities - Public transportation vehicles
Problems Solved: - Efficient disinfection of enclosed spaces - Adaptability to different states of the space - Reduction of harmful pathogens
Benefits: - Improved disinfection efficacy - Energy efficiency - Automated operation - Reduced risk of infections
Commercial Applications: UV disinfection systems for various industries, smart disinfection solutions for public spaces, automated cleaning systems for healthcare facilities.
Questions about UV Disinfection Systems: 1. How does the system determine when to switch between UV and visible light modes? 2. What are the safety measures in place to protect individuals from exposure to UV light?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in UV disinfection technology, including new wavelengths for improved disinfection and safety protocols for UV light exposure.
Original Abstract Submitted
The invention provides a system () for disinfecting at least part of a closeable space (), wherein the system () comprises one or more light sources (), a sensor () and a control system (), wherein in a first operational mode one or more of the one or more light sources () are configured to generate first light source light () having one or more wavelengths selected from the range of 100-380 nm, and wherein in a second operational mode one or more of the one or more light sources () are configured to generate second light source light () having a centroid wavelength selected from the range of 400-490 nm, wherein the first light source light () and the second light source light () is provided in the closeable space (), wherein the sensor () is configured to detect a state or a change in state of the closeable space () and to provide a related sensor signal to the control system (), wherein the control system () is configured to select the first operational mode during a first time period () when the closeable space () is configured in a closed state () and configured to select the second operational mode during a second time period () when the closeable space () is configured in an open state ().
