Abstract:
1. A system for irradiating a pallet, comprising: a source of radiation having first and second states for directing the radiation in a first plane toward the pallet in the first state and for not directing radiation toward the pallet by being de-energized in the second state, a holder having first and second states for moving the pallet in a second plane substantially perpendicular to the first plane during the first state of the source and for preventing any movement of the pallet in the second state of the source, and a motor having first and second states of operation for rotating the pallet on an axis substantially corresponding to the second plane during the second state of the source of radiation, wherein the motor rotates the pallet through a particular angle each time that the source of radiation and the holder are in the second state.
