摘要:
In an air sterilization system that includes a UV kill chamber for sterilizing air that is to be supplied to users, the effectiveness of killing or neutralizing pathogens is increased by including not only a UV light source of a certain intensity but also including a particle filter and providing short duration high intensity UV radiation. In the case of a user specific system that includes a face mask to supply air to a specific user, exhaled air from the face mask may be sterilized as well, either by using the same kill chamber or by using a separate kill chamber.
摘要:
A method for disseminating emergency notification content from an emergency originating source. The method comprising: delivering the emergency notification content from the emergency originating source to at least one transmitting party; selecting a subset of users from among a set of users for dissemination of the emergency notification content based on the subject matter of the emergency notification content; and delivering the emergency notification content from the at least one transmitting party to a device corresponding to each user from the selected subset of users.
摘要:
A method is provided for making the storage media having data stored thereon. In one aspect of the making of storage media, a first layer is formed, where the first layer is substantially transparent to a predetermined first radiant energy used for reading the data. Next, a second layer is formed on the first layer, which is substantially opaque to the first radiant energy. Finally, a pattern is formed that comprises a plurality of holes in the second layer, where each of the holes have a largest dimension which is greater than a wavelength of the first radiant energy, and the data is stored as the presence or absence of a hole in the pattern.

Also provided are a method for fabricating the storage media as well as an apparatus and method for reading the data stored on the storage media.
摘要:
Systems and methods for delivery of a drug to the respiratory system of a patient are provided, where the drug is supplied in purified air at a positive pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. With the systems and methods of the present disclosure, medication available in a variety of forms is introduced in a controlled fashion into the purified air stream in aerosol, nebulized, or vaporized form.

Systems and methods for delivery of a drug to the respiratory system of a patient where the drug is supplied at a positive pressure relative to atmospheric pressure are provided. In particular, the drugs are delivered to the respiratory system of a patient who is capable of unassisted breathing. With the systems and methods of the present disclosure, medication available in a variety of forms is introduced in a controlled fashion into the air stream in aerosol, nebulized, or vaporized form.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for ultraviolet sterilization are provided. The apparatus can include a housing having an opening through which objects can be inserted for sterilization, a killing chamber having an inner surface that is substantially reflective at ultraviolet wavelengths; and at least one ultraviolet radiation source inside the housing. The methods and apparatus are well suited for medical tools, dental tools, body art tools, and baby feeding related objects.
摘要:
Systems and methods for exposing fluids and other materials that may contain biohazards to ultraviolet radiation are provided. One system for exposing a fluid includes a baffled conduit for conveying the fluid so that the fluid flow and its exposure to ultraviolet radiation is rendered more uniform. Other systems include feedback for determining when to replace light sources and filters and to ensure proper biodosimetry. Additional methods and systems for exposing fluids and other materials that may contain biohazards are also provided.
