摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to on-aircraft potable water disinfection with UV LED light sources that are positioned in-line with the water delivery system. Further embodiments relate to using the scavenged heat generated by the LEDs to deliver heat back to the water supply tube for temperature stabilization and to prevent water freezing.

Embodiments of the invention relate to trash compactor boxes that have an antibacterial or antimicrobial feature incorporated therein. In a general embodiment, the carton boxes have a built-in compound, such as an antimicrobial, antiseptic, and/or a biocide material.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for disinfection of aircraft galleys and lavatories and other surfaces. The embodiments may use UV light sources and/or a disinfection unit powered by a fuel cell or other external power source.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a filtration system that can be used to filter debris-laden water and to systems for cleaning the filtration system using a vacuum flush system to create a backwash flow through the filter of the filtration system. The filtration system described finds particular use on-board passenger transport vehicles that have a vacuum waste system, such as aircraft. The filtration system provides the ability to collect, treat, and reuse liquid resources in an environment with a vacuum waste system.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to air sanitation and disinfection, and particularly to air sanitation and disinfection for aerospace applications. More particularly, it is disclosed an air treatment system, comprising:(a) a reaction chamber comprising an inlet, an outlet, and an inner reaction surface; (b) an air flow space positioned inside the reaction chamber; (c) at least one or more ultraviolet light-emitting diodes positioned inside the reaction chamber; (d) a photo-catalytic oxidative coating on the inner reaction chamber surface, wherein the inlet is configured to cooperate with an air inflow source and wherein the outlet is configured to cooperate with an air-dispensing apparatus.

摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for preventing mineral scale deposits in an aircraft water system, and more specifically, within devices and water transport systems, such as coffeemakers and other galley equipment, as well as the water lines themselves.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to multi-port orbital valves for use in controlling the direction of fluids and mixed media, and find particular use in connection with toilet systems, such as vacuum toilet systems.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system to direct water flow through a lavatory and to cleanse grey water through a series of treatment steps. The water may then be re-directed to the faucet for re-use in hand washing or other potable water use or to the toilet for flush water. The treatment steps are altered, depending upon the ultimate use of the water, as flush water need not be treated to the same level as potable water. The system may also function via a cascade of logic commands given by a series of electronic controllers, valves, and sensors which are fine-tuned to supply enough water to each component of the system.
