LUSS (LED based Ultra-Violet exposure for Safe Surfaces)

LUSS项目（**L** 艾德基 **U** 紫外线照射 ** S** 表面）提供了一种经济的解决方案，以对抗COVID-19，并能够消毒其他病毒和细菌的表面。COVID-19提高了防止病毒在个人日常生活中传播的重要性，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打算利用特定的紫外线（UV）光谱，提供一种简单有效的方法来杀灭COVID-19和其他病毒，为未来更广泛的环境提供额外的潜力。MicroLink Devices（MLD），领先的工业合作伙伴，由WideBlue（WB），工业合作伙伴和化合物半导体应用弹射器（CSAC）提供支持，研究技术组织将首先开发一种自动自清洁门板，利用特定的紫外线，将杀死病毒/细菌，防止感染的传播。每次有人进入房间/建筑物时，门板都会自动运行。因此，清洁人员的时间可以直接用于其他需要传统消毒的区域。项目交付物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。MLD将提供整体项目管理，并领导系统设计、原型门板生产、系统和组件测试以及最终测试。WB将设计演示器门板的电子设备，其中包括原型和演示器的PCB建模、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，并对组件进行构建和安全有效性测试。

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.
