Project LUSS (**L**ED based **U**ltra-Violet exposure for **S**afe **S**urfaces) provides an economical solution to combat COVID-19 with the ability to also disinfect surfaces of other viruses and bacteria.COVID-19 has raised the importance of preventing viruses spreading between individuals in their daily routines, e.g. touching door handles, entering rooms where infected people reside or have recently departed. Continuous cleaning of door panels using disinfecting chemicals is impractical. LUSS intends to exploit a particular spectrum of Ultra-Violet (UV) light to provide a simple and efficient means of killing COVID-19 and other viruses, providing additional potential in wider settings for the future.MicroLink Devices (MLD), lead industrial partner with support from WideBlue (WB), Industrial partner and Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult (CSAC), Research Technology Organisation will initially develop an automatically self-cleaning door panel, exploiting specific UV light, that will kill viruses/bacteria and prevent the spread of infection. The door panel will automatically operate every time someone enters a room/building. Therefore, cleaning staff's time can be directed at other areas where traditional disinfection is required.Project deliverable will be a low-cost door panel UV Disinfection System and can be easily retrofitted. It will be re-chargeable battery powered, supplemented by indoor light harvesting solar cells to power the LEDs potentially substantially reducing operating costs and reducing the requirement for frequent battery changes.MLD will provide overall project management and lead the system design and production of prototype door panel, system and component testing and final test at end-ser site. WB will design the electronics for the demonstrator door panel which will involve PCB modelling, design and test for prototype and demonstrator. CSAC will support use case definition, define initial design parameters for the prototype door panel and perform testing of components for build and safety efficacy.

项目LUSS（基于**L**ED的**U**紫外线暴露于**S**afe **S**表面）提供了对抗COVID-19的经济解决方案，还能够消毒其他病毒和细菌的表面。COVID-19提高了在日常生活中防止病毒在人与人之间传播的重要性，例如触摸门把手，进入感染者居住或最近离开的房间。使用消毒化学品连续清洁门板是不切实际的。LUSS打算利用紫外线（UV）光的特定光谱，提供一种简单有效的杀死COVID-19和其他病毒的方法，为未来更广泛的环境提供额外的潜力。MicroLink Devices （MLD）是领先的工业合作伙伴，得到了WideBlue （WB）、工业合作伙伴、Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult （CSAC）、Research Technology Organisation的支持，将首先开发一种自动自清洁门板，利用特定的紫外线，可以杀死病毒/细菌并防止感染的传播。每当有人进入房间/建筑物时，门板将自动打开。因此，清洁人员的时间可以直接用于需要传统消毒的其他区域。项目交付将是一个低成本的门板紫外线消毒系统，可以很容易地进行改造。它将由可再充电电池供电，辅以室内光收集太阳能电池为led供电，可能会大大降低运营成本，并减少频繁更换电池的要求。MLD将提供整体项目管理，并领导原型门板的系统设计和生产，系统和组件测试以及最终用户现场的最终测试。WB将为演示门板设计电子器件，包括PCB建模、原型和演示板的设计和测试。CSAC将支持用例定义，定义原型门板的初始设计参数，并执行组件的构建和安全有效性测试。
