The opportunity
The demand is proven. The device integration isn't.
Treatment of frequently touched surfaces may require separate supplies, chemical agents, or manual processes. The proposed Far-UVC concept explores whether portable electronic devices could support controlled surface-treatment applications.
One patented architecture, three reasons to license it.
See the licensing opportunitySafety-Oriented Design
The proposed architecture includes sensing, monitoring, exposure-management, and interlock functions intended to support controlled operation.
Manufacturer Integration
Patented system concepts offered for evaluation and potential licensing by qualified manufacturers.
How it works
A controlled cycle, started from the device in your hand.
- 1User initiates
An authorized user starts a proposed treatment cycle from a portable electronic device.
- 2System evaluates conditions
Sensors and control logic check access, proximity, orientation and exposure time.
- 3Controlled operation
If conditions are met, the source runs for a set interval and stops when a fault is detected.

The founders
An idea that survived a pandemic, a wildfire and multiple surgeries.
Stephen and Tiffany Wolters developed handheld UVC concepts during COVID-19. After losing their home to a lightning-caused wildfire in August 2020, they self-funded the work through to patent issuance in October 2021.
