    Abstract: A UV irradiation apparatus for coating systems that coat rigid or film-like workpieces, in particular furniture parts, having a transport apparatus for transporting workpieces provided with coating material from an inlet to an outlet through the UV irradiation apparatus, a UV light source arranged above the transport apparatus that irradiates the coated workpieces with UV light in an irradiation region between the inlet and the outlet, and a reflector or cover which shields the UV light source upward. A housing covers the irradiation region and the UV light source, which generally extends above the transport apparatus. A sensor of a measuring apparatus for direct or indirect automated measurement of radiant flux of the UV light source is arranged in the housing, and the sensor is in particular fitted fixed or movably on the housing or a holder. A method for quality assurance using this UV irradiation apparatus is also provided.

    Abstract: A system for monitoring ultraviolet (UV) exposure of a wearer. The system comprises a wearable device operable to sense UV radiation levels to which the wearer is exposed, and to transmit UV radiation information. The system further comprises an external computing device in remote communication with the wearable device, operable to receive the UV radiation information from the wearable device and configured to determine the wearer's real-time UV index value and the wearer's daily cumulative percentage of minimal erythema dose based upon the UV radiation information.

    Abstract: A method and system for personal environmental monitoring using a mobile device are provided herein. The method may include: determining an ultraviolet index, “UVI”, in the vicinity of the mobile device, based on data received from the mobile device; determining a modified UVI, “m-UVI”, based on at least one of further data received from the mobile device and data input by a user of the mobile device; determining a predicted exposure of the user of the mobile device, based on the m-UVI; determining a minimal erythemal dose, “MED”, of the user based on an input skin type of the user; providing an erythema timer based on the m-UVI and the MED; and continually updating the erythema timer based on changing environmental or user conditions, wherein the received data corresponds to at least one of: a current time; a geolocation of the mobile device; and an altitude of the mobile device.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for correcting out-of-band interference for sensors monitoring cumulative exposure to radiation. In one embodiment, a device includes a processor and a memory electrically coupled with the processor. The device further includes first optical-to-electrical conversion circuitry electrically coupled with the processor and configured to detect radiation associated with a first wavelength, and second optical-to-electrical conversion circuitry electrically coupled with the processor and configured to detect radiation associated with a second wavelength. For example, the first wavelength may be associated with a first wavelength of a first wavelength detection range associated with the first optical-to-electrical conversion circuitry and the second wavelength may be associated with a second wavelength of a second wavelength detection range associated with the second optical-to-electrical conversion circuitry.

    Abstract: A UVC disinfection system that may include a UVC radiation illumination unit, a control unit, and a node. The node may include (i) a power supply, (ii) a UVC dose sensing unit that comprises a UVC sensing element, wherein the UVC dose sensing unit is configured to sense that the UVC radiation dose received by the node reached a predefined UVC radiation dose; and (iii) a node transmitter that is configured transmit a node unique signal following a sensing, by the UVC dose sensing unit, that the UVC radiation dose received by the node reached a predefined UVC radiation dose. The control unit is configured to control an emission of UVC radiation from the UVC radiation illumination unit based on a reception or a lack of reception of the node unique signal.
