  At least in the US, the language of patents is in CLAIMS.
  A claim in a patent may or may not work as stated.

  (If it matters: I concur that the UV is very significant in this case:
   My point is that the existence of 'a patent' does not
   guarantee that the claimed 'thing/process' works...)
