#Your life matters
I have told some of you that I am starting a new business revolving around ultraviolet LED-based disinfection robots.
I would like to start a new trend to counteract the disgusting trend toward self-loathing that became so pervasive on the news this week and turn it toward an Objectivist perspective.
I am soliciting your feedback on the following.
#Your life matters.
We are creating value for you with our UV-based disinfection products so that you can have confident assurance of your health and safety. It is your responsibility to be your own keeper.
#Our lives matter. We will not sacrifice ourselves on the altar "for the greater good". Like you, we must make a living. We operate on the principle of value for value exchange. We provide you the best product we can make to improve your life, and in exchange, we expect fair compensation for our effort. We will not work for free. During this startup phase, however, we will allow you to beta test our product, with the expectation that you will provide critical customer feedback so that together, we can make our product the best that it can be.

I think I still have a link but you can find info by looking up: Far UVC.
Just imagine, these lights at the entrance of hospital and governmental buildings, on trains, planes and taxi's.
Robots using Far UVC would be extremely efficient, tracing a building as fast a people move about.
Just an idea...good luck with your venture. When your up and running, I'd be happy to promote your business.
PS. MEMES UP!...you might need a laugh or two.
Is it true that the amount of power to the light and the distance to the object to be disinfected are all interrelated in the final nano meter length observed.
That part had me confused when techies tried to explain why battery powered uv lights were ineffective.
Now I understand why no one has made a hand held Far UVC, battery powered unit.
You'd almost need a variable power source...no?
You might want to revise that a little. The shorter the wavelength the more harmful. All of the wave lengths you list are very harmful to skin and eyes.
If so, would you donate the Sterilray to Connecticut Hospice!..joking
You may find it interesting and get some ideas.
Even more amazing, even the so called Covid patients we got from yale...didn't have covid 19 when we tested them.
Makes one want to go...Hmm!
Perhaps less short wave UV makes it through the atmosphere making the risk less. But for irradiating surfaces, the long wave UV would be less harmful to skin and eyes but protection should be worn if exposed.
That material is hard going! What I get from the two posts is:
Very clever stuff and good potential,
Yes to the ethical stance in not accepting government money obtained by compulsion,
Hints of progress on the late stage of CCP19 infection when everything else fails and the cytokine storm takes over, this would be a real breakthrough,
Your links are truncated, please check,
Since you asked, I am ok with the word we, but do not overdo it.
Ultraviolet light-based disinfection- not a new idea but still very interesting and promising. I suppose the key here is using the right power levels, frequencies and exposure. If you can get it to work in a commercial package it would be an elegant treatment.
Interesting points-
HCQ acts as a ionophore to facilitate the transport of zinc through the cell wall which inhibits the replication of the corona virus.
ACE2, apparently children do not have these in the lungs, this is the entry point for the virus.
The links were truncated by Galt's Gulch Online after I entered them. I did not expect that.

The French health minister reported that an infectious disease doctor from southwest France had "cited four cases of young patients with COVID-19 and no underlying health problems who went on to develop serious symptoms after using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the early stage of their symptoms."
(https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m...) The French health minister's anecdotal remarks drew criticism from American, European, and World Health Agencies and media because they hadn't been validated by more rigorous scientific testing. However, Roche has "secured approval from China for its anti-inflammation drug Actemra (tocilizumab) to treat patients developing severe complications from COVID-19", and Italian doctors have seen positive results from this anti-inflammatory medication as well (https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m.... Actemra is designed to prevent cytokine storms by blocking interleukin 6 (IL-6). At about the same time, anecdotal reports of reduction in symptoms by hydroxychloroquine surfaced as well. Hydroxychloroquine has been used to treat lupus, a rheumatoid inflammatory arthritis autoimmune disease, for over half a century. Hydroxychloroquine decreases T helper 17 (Th 17) cytokines IL-6, IL-17, and IL-22 (Cruz da Silva et al., 2013) and has protective effects against accelerated atherosclerosis in lupus patients (Floris et al., 2018). The IL-6 pathway (JAK-STAT) increases corticosteroid production in adrenal glands to help stop the immune response and is Involved in C-reactive protein reactions and clotting
COVID-19 targets the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to enter epithelial cells (Al Ghatrif et al., 2020), but also plays an anti-inflammatory role in renin-angiotensin signaling (RAS).
Earlier I stated that the antigen is digested by the ubiquitin proteasome system where MHC-1 is presented to the cytotoxic T cells. Causing a failure in the ubiquitin proteasome system is a possible path for long term pathogenic attack, as compromise in this system leads to an overabundance of undigested proteins that have led to Alzheimer's disease (Kotilinek et al.). Kotilinek et al.'s results "predict that the predominant efficacy of NSAIDs" on Alzheimer's disease "will be found in individuals with normal levels of COX-2, prior to increases in COX-2 due to inflammation or glutamate". The ubiquitin proteasome system has also been the target of anti-cancer drugs (Soave et al.) and autoimmune diseases like lupus as well (Bulatov et al.).
If MHC-1 binds too well to a foreign protein (e.g. gluten in Celiac's disease), then one gets an overexpressed T cell response and is said to be intolerant to that foreign protein. Other than those living in assisted living facilities, most people who are dying or are hospitalized from COVID-19 are exhibiting symptoms of Type 3 hypersensitivity. Type 3 hypersensitivity is common in people with persistent gut and/or kidney inflammation.
My family has a very involved history of odd immune responses. Piecing together this puzzle has helped me figure out how improper process control of eosinophils, the least understood of the immune cells (and if you are healthy, the type of cell in lowest concentration) has led to a myriad of conditions (cold-induced asthma, eczema, eosinophilic esophagitis, food allergies and intolerances, allergies induced by anaethesia, and even Alzheimer's disease). I think that I am on the cusp of understanding how all of this is related to failures in the ubiquitin proteasome system.

The ubiquitin proteasome system has also been the target of anti-cancer drugs (Soave et al.) and autoimmune diseases like lupus as well (Bulatov et al.). What helped me connect all of this was how hydroxychloroquine has long been used as a treatment for lupus, a form of rheumatoid arthritis. From Ge et al, in https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/113..., "pretreatment of eosinophils with MG132, a proteasome inhibitor that inhibits degradation of ubiquitin-tagged proteins", regulates Galectin-1, which appears to regulate eosinophil function, airway inflammation, and asthma.
Are you or a family member constantly getting sick? Or do you take a lot longer to get over illnesses than most people? Are you asthmatic, have many allergies, or very intense allergic responses?
If so, then you should consider using our ultraviolet light-based disinfection products. Our products will include sterilizer boxes, floor-cleaning disinfection robots, and heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) solutions that, unlike our competition, create value for you by providing visual and/or spectroscopic evidence that your reusable masks and lab coats, your floors, the food you eat, and the air you breathe are CLEAN.
While our competition uses a single ultraviolet wavelength (253.7 nm) that deactivates most viruses and bacteria, almost everyone knows someone who, like my mother, acquired an infection at a hospital or assisted-living facility. We use a range of wavelengths that have been documented to disrupt the metabolic and protein functions of ALL pathogens, giving our products a built-in redundancy of weaponry with which to vanquish our viral and bacterial foes.
Our technology evolved out of my need to sterilize everything entering my bioreactors for my tissue engineering test bed research (curiosity) and my subsequent realization of the importance of co-opting the body's immune response to generate new organs. Very few people have made the necessary intellectual connections to understand immunology, tissue engineering, process flowsheets (like a chemical engineer), and process control. Even fewer know all the "maker" tools (3D printing, laser cutting, etc.) necessary to create products to serve this new field. With funding from the Kern Family Foundation, whose core values are curiosity, connections, and creating value, I taught myself and a class of 70 Florida Tech students these maker skills to fabricate solutions to make us a leader in the human organ manufacturing industry, with the UV-based disinfection products being step one in the company's development.
I am not your average professor. I don't want to beg for government dollars. I believe in value for value exchange, and think it is immoral to take money from taxpayers' (your) pockets unwillingly to fund research that will benefit someone else. I made enough money as a partner in companies that made pregnancy detection kits and converted waste to chemicals (Imagine feeding municipal solid waste dumps into Mr. Fusion from the Back to the Future movies.) that I have funded my research curiosities for the last decade. Now I am asking you to buy our products, to support our mission (as shareholders, not donors) at our Chem-Free Solutions crowdfunding site, and to support my Florida Tech students' crowdfunding site (as donors officially, but receiving a custom manufactured UV LED product solution when they graduate in April of 2021 as part of value for value exchange). Thank you for both supporting my mission as Florida Tech's Nanotechnology Minor Program Chair to provide the best education that money can buy and our Chem-Free Solutions mission to create a brighter future.

If Mr. Thompson doesn't understand, then perhaps I can fly under the radar.
But indirect lighting where the light shines mostly on the material of the mask. NICE.
Suggestion that it be an N95 Holder of sorts, so users could change the masks out (not sure your design).
Good Idea, and Good Luck.
