A lower-surface center region of a substrate held by a first holder is cleaned by a cleaner. A lower-surface outer region of the substrate rotated by a second holder is cleaned by the cleaner. A mobile base provided with the second holder and the cleaner is moved in a horizontal plane such that a reference position of the first holder coincides with a center axis of the second holder in a plan view when the substrate is received and transferred between the first holder and the second holder, and is moved in the horizontal plane such that the cleaner overlaps with the lower-surface center region of the substrate held by the first holder and a center axis of the cleaner coincides with a first portion different from a center of the substrate in the plan view when the lower-surface center region is cleaned.

A wet wipe that exhibits a novel combination of properties and methods for making such wet wipes are provided.

The technology relates to a system for clearing a sensor cover. The system may comprise a wiper comprising a wiper support, a wiper blade, and a sensor cover. The wiper blade may be configured to clear the sensor cover of debris, and the sensor cover may be configured to house one or more sensors. A wiper motor may rotate the wiper and a sensor motor may rotate the sensor cover. The system wiper blade may comprise a first edge attached to the wiper support and a second edge which may be configured to be in contact with the sensor cover. The wiper blade may extend in a corkscrew shape around the wiper support. The wiper motor may be configured to rotate the wiper in a first direction and the sensor motor may be configured to rotate the sensor cover in a second direction opposite the first direction.

The invention concerns a storage device for cleaning and charging portable X-ray detectors, and an X-ray system comprising such storage device. The storage device comprises a receiving unit for receiving at least one portable X-ray detector, a cleaning unit for cleaning the portable X-ray detector when being received by the receiving unit, and a charging unit for charging the portable X-ray detector, wherein the cleaning unit is configured for mechanically and/or chemically cleaning the portable X-ray detector. Further, the invention concerns a method of cleaning and charging a portable X-ray detector in a storage device.

A cleaning device includes: a plurality of rollers that hold a peripheral edge part of a substrate; a rotation driving unit that rotates the substrate by rotationally driving the plurality of rollers; a cleaning member that abuts on the substrate and cleans the substrate; a cleaning liquid supply nozzle that supplies a cleaning liquid to the substrate; a microphone that detects a sound generated when a notch of the peripheral edge part of the substrate hits the plurality of rollers; and a rotation speed calculation unit that calculates a rotation speed of the substrate on the basis of the sound detected by the microphone.

A docking station for a mobile cleaning robot can include a base portion configured to receive the mobile cleaning robot. The docking station can include a housing connected to the base portion and a pad cleaning system. The pad cleaning system can be connected to the housing and can include a cleaning head engageable with a cleaning pad of the mobile cleaning robot to remove debris from the cleaning pad, the cleaning head can include a nozzle configured to discharge a fluid onto the cleaning pad.

A method of washing a food product with a short-term, intense treatment solution. One example method generally includes: applying, using a short-term wash device, a short-term wash treatment solution to the food product; and applying, using a wash device coupled to the short-term wash device, a wash treatment to the food product such that the wash treatment rinses the short-term wash treatment solution from the food product, wherein: the short-term wash treatment solution is applied to the food product for a shorter duration than the wash treatment is applied to the food product; the short-term wash treatment solution is chemically different from the wash treatment; and the short-term wash treatment solution comprises an acidulant and a polyol.

A cleaning device having a handle and one or more cleaning members. A first of the cleaning members has a first finger, a second finger spaced apart from the first finger, and a compliant member extending from the first finger to the second finger. The compliant member is constructed at least partially from a metallic material. The first finger is spaced from the second finger to accommodate a cross-member of a cooking grate between the first finger and the second finger such that the compliant member contacts the cross-member. A second of the cleaning members has an elongation and a first bar and a second bar extending transverse to the elongation, the second bar spaced from the first bar along the elongation. The second of the cleaning members is configured to be inserted between adjacent cross-members of a cooking grate and, after insertion, rotated.

The Ergonomic Handle Scraper includes an ergonomic handle device that may be adapted to perform a wide variety of tasks such as scrubbing, scraping, scooping, cutting, brushing, painting, sanding, grating, shaving, etc. The device may be produced in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and may be constructed from a wide variety of materials and manufacturing processes. The Ergonomic Handle Scraper provides a user with a compact, ergonomic handle which may be used in conjunction with other adjoining and complementary shapes, materials, surfaces, textures or tools. More specifically, the ergonomic handle is the basic component that enables other components to be combined with or extended from the handle.

A dust wand cleaner for dust wands that have radially-arrayed fibers that protrude to a define a generally cylindrical fiber head. The cleaner includes two open end sections and a midsection. Each end section has an internal passageway that preferably narrows from a first width that easily receives an inserted end of a generally cylindrical fiber head of a dust wand to a second width that compresses the fibers of the dust wand. The midsection has an internal passageway that is aligned with the internal passageways of the end sections, that is wider than the second width and that has inwardly extending bristles. When a dust wand is passed through the aligned passageways of the two open end sections and the midsection, debris adhering to the dust wand fibers is removed from the dust wand by being combed by the bristles.
