An UV-C device may include several UV-C light sources (e.g., UV-C LEDs) and such UV-C LEDs may have UV-C reflecting structures arranged to direct UV-C in a particular direction and at a particular size and shape. Doing so may, for example, increase the UV-C in a particular direction or working area. A UV-C generating device may be utilized in an air stream, such as an air duct, to sterilize air from that air stream. Sound suppression compartments may be placed around a UV-C generating device inlet and/or a device outlet to reduce sound from the UV-C generating device. Human perceivable (e.g., audible, tactile, and/or visual) notifications may be utilized to provide notification of different modes of operation and/or different efficacy levels (e.g., percent ranges of inactivation of a particular or multiple particular viruses, bacteria, spores, etc.

Dynamic magnetic stripe communications devices may include a coil. An exchange coupled amorphous material may be inside the coil, for example, in the form of a ribbon. The exchange coupled amorphous material may include magnetically hard crystallites embedded a soft magnetic amorphous matrix and/or at least one crystalline surface layer. A device may include a dynamic magnetic stripe communications device including one or more exchange coupled amorphous ribbons. The device may include more than one exchange coupled amorphous ribbon. Amorphous ribbons and/or layers of amorphous ribbons may be stacked (e.g., in alignment to one another) and/or offset at different heights. The ribbons may be in a single domain state without an external magnetic field, for example, an external magnetic field from a permanent magnet. The device may not include a permanent magnet.

A memory array includes a memory layer that has hysteretic domains with domain axes extending between first and second memory layer surfaces. A conductive layer on the first memory layer surface has anisotropically increased electrical conductivity in a thickness direction. A movable conductive probe has a contact area on the conductive layer and moves to access a selected hysteretic domain.
