    摘要: An ultraviolet (UV) liquid treatment apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may include a conduit having an inlet to receive liquid to be treated and an outlet to discharge treated fluid, the conduit defining a plurality of liquid flow paths between the inlet and the outlet. The apparatus may further include an UV light emitting diode (LED) module array to illuminate the liquid, wherein the UV LED module array comprises a plurality of UV LED modules arranged on a curved surface of an array holder, such the UV LED module array is configured to generate a customized spatial light flux distribution within the conduit that matches the liquid flow paths so as to obtain a desired UV dose distribution.

    摘要: Aquaculture systems and methods are provided, as well as immunogenic compositions and methods of immunologically protecting bivalves against specified pathogens. Methods include inactivating specified pathogens using UV (ultraviolet) radiation, exposing invertebrates grown or to be grown in aquaculture to the specified UV-inactivated pathogens to enhance an immune reaction of the exposed invertebrates toward the specified pathogens, and growing the exposed invertebrates in aquaculture. For example, the methods were demonstrated to increase the immune response of oysters to ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) following their prior exposure to UV-inactivated OsHV-1.

    摘要: Augmented reality (AR) ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems and methods are provided. AR UV disinfection systems comprise UV source(s) configured to irradiate a target with UV radiation, imaging unit(s) configured to image the target and derive depth information concerning the imaged target, AR processing unit(s) configured to estimate a UV radiation intensity delivered to multiple locations on the target by tempo-spatially integrating an intensity of the irradiated UV with respect to temporal and geometrical relations between the UV source and the locations on the target, as provided by the derived depth information, and to estimate a level of disinfection of the multiple locations on the target with respect to the estimated UV radiation intensity delivered thereto, and display(s) configured to visually present the estimated level of disinfection of the multiple locations upon a displayed image of the target.
