The tractor trailer compressed air system with accessories is a mechanical device. The tractor trailer compressed air system with accessories incorporates a housing, an air transport structure, a tractor, and a trailer. The housing contains the air transport structure. The housing mounts on the trailer. The trailer attaches to the tractor. The trailer forms a fluidic connection with the tractor. The trailer forms a fluidic connection with the air transport structure. The tractor transfers compressed air to the trailer. The trailer transfers a portion of the received compressed air to the air transport structure. The air transport structure releases the compressed air as an air flow into the atmosphere. The released air flow is used to blow detritus off of and out of the tractor and the trailer.

Described is a retail store fixture that includes an electric charge circuit. The electric charge circuit generates a positive electric charge, or voltage, in response to the motion of a moveable portion of the retail store fixture. The retail store fixture can be a shopping cart or other fixture with a moveable portion. The positive electric charge is deposited on a part of the retail store fixture that it is desired to sterilize. The positive electric charge repels bacteria, sterilizing the portion of the retail store fixture that receives the positive charge. A shopping cart, for example, equipped with the electric charge circuit can be sterilized without requiring chemicals or power to be supplied to the cart. Rotation of the shopping cart wheels can be used to generate the voltage. The voltage can be used to sterilize a shopping cart handle, and/or other parts of the shopping cart.

A sensor cleaning apparatus detects an object in a vicinity of a vehicle from information acquired by at least one sensor monitoring the vehicle vicinity, detects contamination on the sensor, and continues air cleaning in which high-pressure air is sprayed onto the sensor for a predetermined air cleaning time, in response to detecting that water droplets are attached to a sensor surface of the sensor. The sensor cleaning apparatus controls autonomous driving of the vehicle using information on the object detected, and outputs a command to clean the sensor with a cleaning liquid, in response to detecting contamination on the sensor and determining that cleaning with the liquid cleaner is possible. The sensor cleaning apparatus controls at least one liquid cleaning actuator to clean the sensor by spraying the cleaning liquid based on the command, and notifies that the sensor is being cleaned with the cleaning liquid.

An embodiment front pillar structure includes a side outer reinforcement assembly, a first reinforcement member coupled to a front portion of the side outer reinforcement assembly to define a first guide passage through which a flexible part having a predetermined length and mounted to the front pillar structure is introduced, a second reinforcement member coupled to a rear portion of the side outer reinforcement assembly to define a second guide passage through which the flexible part is drawn, and a side inner panel assembly coupled to the side outer reinforcement assembly, the side inner panel assembly including an introduction hole connected to the first guide passage and a draw hole connected to the second guide passage.

A microelectronic module for cleaning a surface is described. The microelectronic module comprises at least one voltage converter for converting a provided first voltage into a higher, lower, or identical second voltage. The module also comprises at least one actuator. The actuator comprises at least one generator for generating an ionic current, an electrical plasma, harmonic components and/or an electrostatic field from the second voltage which is provided by the voltage converter. At least the voltage converter and the actuator are disposed on a thin-film, planar substrate. At least most of at least one object adhering to the surface is removed by the actuator.

A rotating suction wand for a cooler box screen including a hollow body for attaching to a suction hose. A first slot and at least a second slot are formed in the hollow body in fluid communication with an interior of the hollow body for facingly engaging a screen. The construction and arrangement of the slots redistributes suction force along the length of the wand in such a way as to compensate for differences in angular rotational speed of the wand at varying radial distances from the center of the wand as well as to overcome suction force reduction which normally occurs from the center to the ends of the wand. Consequently, debris is more effectively removed from the screen from the central regions of the wand to radially distal regions thereof.
