Abstract: Apparatuses are disclosed which include a lamp assembly having a germicidal lamp configured to emit ultraviolet light and a base supporting the germicidal lamp. The apparatuses further include a support structure holding operational components for the apparatus and an automated actuator for moving the base and the germicidal lamp relative to the support structure. In addition, the apparatuses include a processor and a storage medium having program instructions which are executable by the processor for activating the automated actuator such that the base and the germicidal lamp are repositioned relative to the support structure while the germicidal lamp is emitting ultraviolet light.

Abstract: Apparatuses are disclosed having an ultraviolet lamp, a base supporting the lamp and a support structure coupled to the base. In some cases, the apparatuses include an automated actuator for moving the base and the lamp relative to the support structure and program instructions for activating the automated actuator such that the base and the lamp are repositioned relative to the support structure, sometimes continuously or periodically, while the lamp is emitting ultraviolet light. In other cases, the apparatuses include a reflector arranged along a longitudinal side of the lamp, an automated actuator for providing rotational movement of the reflector relative to the support structure, and program instructions for activating the automated actuator such that the reflector is repositioned relative to the support structure while the lamp is emitting ultraviolet light.

Abstract: Smoke detector shields for blocking or minimizing the transmission of light therethrough and methods for use are provided. According to one embodiment, a method for shielding a smoke detector includes shielding at least a portion of a smoke detector operationally arranged within a room, and subsequently activating a light emission device arranged within the room, while shielding the smoke detector. In order to exclude light emission devices, which are commonly used within a room for lighting and/or communication purposes, the light emission device set forth in the method is configured for generating infrared light at a radiant intensity greater than approximately 1 W/sr, and/or ultraviolet light at a radiant intensity greater than approximately 1 W/sr, and/or visible light at a luminous flux greater than approximately 3000 lumens. Embodiments of smoke detector shields that prevent such light from penetrating the housing of a shielded smoke detector are provided herein.

Abstract: Apparatuses are disclosed having an ultraviolet lamp, a reflector system arranged to project light emitted from the lamp to a region 2-4 feet from a floor of a room in which the apparatus is arranged, and a mobile carriage with operational components for the apparatus. The apparatuses are configured such that the lamp is not moveable beyond vertical planes aligned with a casing of the carriage. Other apparatuses are disclosed having an ultraviolet lamp and configurations for moving the lamp relative to a structure of the apparatuses while the lamp is emitting light. Yet other apparatuses are disclosed having an ultraviolet lamp and a surrounding housing, a reflector to redirect light emitted from the lamp, an actuator for moving the reflector and the housing together relative to a structure supporting the lamp, and a rotator distinct from the actuator for rotating the reflector and housing relative to the structure.

Abstract: Systems are disclosed which include processor-executable program instructions for receiving data regarding characteristics of an area or a room and determining, based on the received data, operating parameter/s for one or more disinfection sources to disinfect the area/room. The data may include data regarding non-physical characteristics and/or physical characteristics of the area/room. In some embodiments, data regarding a quantity and/or type of at least a subset of the plurality of disinfection sources for disinfecting the room may also be considered for determining the operating parameter/s. In addition or alternatively, the data may be in relation to multiple disinfection sources in the area/room. In any case, a system is also disclosed which facilities power redirection among multiple disinfection sources upon detecting a given area has received a predetermined dose of ultraviolet light.

Abstract: Smoke detectors and smoke alarms are provided which have one or more light shields configured to block or minimize the transmission of ambient light to their light receivers. Light shield configurations for facilitating such functionality are provided as well. The shield/s include a material which attenuates a majority amount of light within a particular range of light that a light source of the smoke detector may be configured to only emit and/or the range of light the light receiver may configured to only convert to photocurrent. In some cases, the shield/s surrounds the light source and/or the light receiver arranged external to an interior chamber of the smoke detector. In some cases, the shield/s may at least partially span a connection side of an external housing of the smoke detector. Alternatively, the shield may be arranged in a space between the interior chamber and the connection side of the housing.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided which project germicidal light from a lamp toward an individual donned in outerwear to disinfect the outerwear. In specific embodiments, germicidal light is projected toward an individual situated greater than approximately 1 foot from the light source. Some systems include sensor/s for detecting presence of an individual within a target area a set distance from the disinfection apparatus comprising the light source and program instructions for commencing operation of the disinfection apparatus based on information from the sensor/s. In addition or alternatively, some systems include reflective panel/s exhibiting greater than approximately 85% reflectance. In such cases, the systems may include program instructions for determining operating parameters of the disinfection apparatus and/or positions of the reflective panel/s based on information regarding an individual who is in the presence of the disinfection apparatus or who is scheduled to be in the presence of the disinfection apparatus.
