Benefits of technology

This patent describes a human-safe UV-C sterilizing bulb that can be used in continuous public places. The device is safe, efficient, affordable, and can monitor itself and report conditions. The inventive device uses a special filter that blocks harmful radiation and is safe to handle. The UV bulb will be made using a quartz glass envelope and advanced technology, which adds more light to the UV range while minimizing harmful emissions. The bulb will also have a built-in smart chip and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, allowing for real-time monitoring and replacement. The fixture will include a multicolored LED indicator to quickly alert users about the status of the bulb. The technical effects of this patent are a safer and more efficient UV-C sterilizing bulb that provides better protection for users in continuous public places.

Problems solved by technology

Ushio has products that filter starting at 237 nm but this risks allowing too much harmful radiation to get through.
This inventive bulb does need a higher arc voltage but that is a small challenge for all of the benefits that a quartz only envelope solution provides.

Abstract

An excimer bulb assembly, with an excimer bulb, at least one integral captured reflector, and an integral filter such that the excimer bulb only emits substantial UV radiation between 200 nm and 230 nm, using a filter that passes light from about 200 nm to 234 nm (+ / −2 nm).

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 069,436 filed Aug. 24, 2020, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The inventive system is in the field of Ultraviolet Light sterilization, specifically in the C band of wavelengths (UV-C). Such sterilization is presently used in hospital surgery rooms, burn wards, and similar areas that require a high degree of sterilization. The primary difference with these existing uses is the inventive system will be used safely in the presence of people and living tissues.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The Corona Virus pandemic has changed many aspects of human life in every country. Even after the virus has been tamed by vaccines and antibodies the changes will remain. People are no longer comfortable being in close quarters with others in public settings. The contagion of regular flu and colds are now being treated wi...
