    Abstract: Disinfection of a surface, such as a mouthpiece of a water bottle, using ultraviolet radiation is disclosed. A cover assembly can include a cover configured to selectively enclose the surface to be disinfected, such as the mouthpiece. The cover assembly can be configured such that ultraviolet radiation can be emitted into an interior volume at least partially formed by the cover and including the surface. The cover assembly can further include a power source which provides power to one or more ultraviolet light sources that emit the ultraviolet radiation. The cover assembly can be a mouthpiece cover assembly physically separate from a container and top cover or integrated in the top cover. A container and a top cover including one or more features for improved cleanliness are also disclosed.

    Abstract: An illuminator comprising more than one set of ultraviolet radiation sources. A first set of ultraviolet radiation sources operate in a wavelength range of approximately 270 nanometers to approximately 290 nanometers. A second set of ultraviolet radiation sources operate in a wavelength range of approximately 380 nanometers to approximately 420 nanometers. The illuminator can also include a set of sensors for acquiring data regarding at least one object to be irradiated by the first and the second set of ultraviolet radiation sources. A control system configured to control and adjust a set of radiation settings for the first and the second set of ultraviolet radiation sources based on the data acquired by the set of sensors.

    Abstract: Ultraviolet irradiation of fluids for the purposes of disinfection, sterilization and modification of a target organic compound found within the fluids. The target compound in the fluids can have an absorption spectra with an ultraviolet wavelength ranging from 230 nm to 360 nm. The absorption spectra includes a first and second set of wavelengths corresponding to absorption peaks and absorption valleys in the absorption spectra, respectively. A-set of ultraviolet radiation sources irradiate the fluids. The set of ultraviolet radiation sources operate at a set of peak wavelengths ranging from 230 nm to 360 nm with a peak full width at half maximum that is less than 20 nm. The set of peak wavelengths are proximate to at least one wavelength in the second set of wavelengths corresponding to the absorption valleys in the absorption spectra with a variation of a full width half maximum of the absorption valley.

    Abstract: A wearable fluorescent article of adornment with ultraviolet radiation source of excitation is described. At least one ultraviolet light emitting source can irradiate a fluorescent material with ultraviolet radiation. The fluorescent material can generate fluorescent light in response to excitation of the fluorescent material with ultraviolet radiation emitted from the at least one ultraviolet light emitting source. The article of adornment can transmit the fluorescent light generated from the fluorescent material while absorbing the ultraviolet radiation. A control unit can control irradiation of the fluorescent material with the at least one ultraviolet light emitting source, while a power supply component can power the at least one ultraviolet light emitting source and/or the control unit.

    Abstract: A diffusive layer including a laminate of a plurality of transparent films is provided. At least one of the plurality of transparent films includes a plurality of diffusive elements with a concentration that is less than a percolation threshold. The plurality of diffusive elements are optical elements that diffuse light that is impinging on such element. The plurality of diffusive elements can be diffusively reflective, diffusively transmitting or combination of both. The plurality of diffusive elements can include fibers, grains, domains, and/or the like. The at least one film can also include a powder material for improving the diffusive emission of radiation and a plurality of particles that are fluorescent when exposed to radiation.

    Abstract: Semiconductor structures formed with annealing for use in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices. The semiconductor structures can include a substrate, a nucleation layer and a buffer layer. The nucleation layer and the buffer layer can be epitaxially grown and then annealed. The temperature of the annealing of the nucleation layer and the buffer layer is greater than the temperature of the epitaxial growth of the layers. The annealing reduces the dislocation density in any subsequent layers that are added to the semiconductor structures. A desorption minimizing layer epitaxially grown on the buffer layer can be used to minimize desorption during the annealing of the layer which also aids in curtailing dislocation density and cracks in the semiconductor structures.
