Abstract: An apparatus configured to disinfect an intravenous (IV) access port is disclosed. The apparatus has at least one sterilizing cap with a body configured to removably couple to the access port and an illuminator coupled to the body. The body and illuminator are configured to expose at least one surface of the access port to a dose of ultraviolet (UV) light. In certain embodiments, the illuminator includes a source of UV light, such as a light-emitting diode (LED). In certain embodiments, the illuminator receives the UV light from a remote source through a fiber-optic cable.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention includes a method of forming field emission emitter tips, comprising: a) providing a masking material over a semiconductor substrate to form a masking-material-covered substrate; b) submerging at least a portion of the masking-material-covered semiconductor substrate in a liquid; c) providing particulates suspended on an upper surface of the liquid; d) while the particulates are suspended, moving the submerged masking-material-covered substrate relative to the suspended particulates to form tightly packed monolayer of the particulates supported on the masking material of the masking-material-covered substrate; e) decreasing a dimension of the particulates to leave some portions of the masking material covered by the particulates and other portions of the masking material uncovered by the particulates; f) after decreasing the dimension and while the particulates are supported on the upper surface, exposing the masking-material-covered substrate to first etching conditions which remove uncovered portions of the masking material while leaving covered portions of the masking material over the substrate to define a patterned masking layer; g) removing the particulates; and h) while the patterned masking layer is over the semiconductor substrate, exposing the semiconductor substrate to a second etching conditions to pattern the semiconductor substrate into emitter tips.

Abstract: A system for reducing pathogen proliferation on a device includes a waveguide disposed on a body of the device and including a first layer of transparent material having a first refractive index greater than a second refractive index of the body of the device and a third refractive index of an environment in contact with an outer surface of the first layer. A first light source is configured to emit light having a first range of wavelengths into the first layer. The light is substantially confined within the waveguide by total internal reflection. Total internal reflection is frustrated at points of contact between the pathogens or a medium in which the pathogens are suspended and an outer surface of the waveguide, thereby scattering a portion of the light out of the waveguide and into the pathogens and, thereby, reducing proliferation of the pathogens. Related methods are also provided.
