Abstract
An ultraviolet (UV) light pacing system includes an assembly including a UV lamp configured to emit UV light to disinfect a component. One or more range light sources are configured to emit ranging light. At least one aspect of the ranging light is altered to provide a visual cue for guiding motion of the assembly to disinfect the component. An ultraviolet (UV) light pacing method includes emitting ranging light from one or more range light sources of and assembly having a UV lamp configured to emit UV light to disinfect a surface of a component, and altering at least one aspect of the ranging light to provide a visual cue for guiding motion of the assembly to disinfect the component.
Claims28
An ultraviolet (UV) light pacing system, comprising:
- an assembly including a UV lamp configured to emit UV light to disinfect a component;
- a navigation sub-system configured to track a location of the assembly within an environment;
- and
- one or more range light sources configured to emit ranging light,
- wherein at least one aspect of the ranging light is altered to provide a visual cue for guiding motion of the assembly to disinfect the component.
An ultraviolet (UV) light pacing method for a UV light pacing system comprising:
- an assembly including a UV lamp configured to emit UV light to disinfect a component;
- a navigation sub-system configured to track a location of the assembly within an environment;
- and
- one or more range light sources configured to emit ranging light,
- wherein at least one aspect of the ranging light is altered to provide a visual cue for guiding motion of the assembly to disinfect the component,
- the method comprising:
- emitting the ranging light from the one or more range light sources;
- and
- altering the at least one aspect of the ranging light to provide the visual cue.
An ultraviolet (UV) light pacing system, comprising:
- an assembly including a UV lamp configured to emit UV light to disinfect a component;
- one or more range light sources configured to emit ranging light, wherein at least one aspect of the ranging light is altered to provide a visual cue for guiding motion of the assembly to disinfect the component;
- and
- an augmented reality sub-system in communication with the assembly and a pacing control unit, wherein the pacing control unit automatically shows one or both of surface disinfection data regarding the component or one or more visual indications for moving the assembly to disinfect various surfaces on a portion of the augmented reality sub-system as an operator moves through an environment.
