    Abstract: A control system in a UVC-based aircraft sanitization system for controlling the UVC-based aircraft sanitization system to maintain a desired UVC (ultraviolet C) radiation level at a target surface in an aircraft under varying operating conditions is disclosed. The control system includes a controller configured to: receive measured radiation feedback from a radiation measurement device (e.g., dosimeter) on the target surface that identifies a radiation level that is applied at the target surface by the UVC-based aircraft sanitization system; and generate a UVC source control command for UVC sources in the UVC-based aircraft sanitization system. based on the received measured radiation feedback, to control the UVC sources to increase or decrease radiation level output (e.g., identify the amount of increase or decrease from the UVC sources) to generate sufficient radiation to achieve the desired radiation level at the target surface.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for slewing a light beam axis directly between points on the ground. One method involves determining a first position associated with a beam axis of a lighting arrangement in a Cartesian reference frame based on an initial orientation of the lighting arrangement in a spherical reference frame, determining an adjustment for the lighting arrangement in the Cartesian reference frame in response to a user input, determining an updated position for the beam axis in the Cartesian reference frame based on the first position and the adjustment in the Cartesian reference frame, transforming the updated position for the beam axis in the Cartesian reference frame to an updated orientation of the lighting arrangement in the spherical reference frame, and concurrently commanding actuators associated with the lighting arrangement to slew the lighting arrangement from the initial orientation to the updated orientation in the spherical reference frame.

    Abstract: Mobile apparatus and methods for ultraviolet (UV) light sanitization of an aircraft. The mobile apparatus generally comprises a mobile platform, such as a trolley, that has integrated therewith circuitry and devices that control and actuate ultra-violet C-spectrum (UV-C) light sources that are mechanically coupled to the trolley. The proposed mobile apparatus includes a controller that receives input from an operator and, optionally, from dosimeters mounted on the proposed system and/or within the aircraft. Based on the inputs received, the controller provides guidance to the operator in the form of alerts and messages, as well as automatically adjusting components of the mobile apparatus to adapt itself to a specific aircraft type.
