Classification: CPC A  F  H  Y | IPC A  H

Claim 15:
16. The antimicrobial system of claim 15, wherein:
the pathogen sensor includes a spectrometer and a sense circuit to generate the sensing signal;
the sense circuit includes:
a pathogen sensor processor configured to control the spectrometer,
a pathogen sensor memory accessible to the pathogen sensor processor and storing spectral reference data of the target pathogen, and
pathogen sensor programming in the pathogen sensor memory; and

execution of the pathogen sensor programming by the pathogen sensor processor configures the pathogen sensor to perform functions, including functions to:
generate, via the spectrometer, a spectral power measurement for the vicinity by detecting, via the spectrometer, light passed, reflected, or shifted and regenerated by the target pathogen, and
compare, via the sense circuit, the spectral power measurement with the spectral reference data to generate the sensing signal indicating whether the target pathogen is present in the vicinity.
