A slurry iron remover includes a tank body configured to contain slurry; a magnetic bar disposed in the tank body, where the magnetic bar is configured to absorb iron particles in the slurry; and a cleaning column ring disposed in the tank body and surrounding the magnetic bar, where the cleaning column ring is fitted to an outer surface of the magnetic bar and an inner surface of the tank body respectively, and the cleaning column ring is configured to move along an axial direction of the magnetic bar after the slurry is discharged from the tank body to clean the tank body and the magnetic bar.

Scraping bone dust off of pieces of meat may be performed using a sensor camera, a computing system, and a robotic arm equipped with a scraper. The camera may provide images of a piece of meat that may be processed in the computing system, either alone or in combination with the sensor camera, to determine how to control the robotic arm. A pair of bone scraping systems may be used in combination with a flipping device disposed between them to enable bone dust scraping from both sides of the piece of meat.

A robot arm including a skive assembly coupled thereto. The skive assembly includes a coupler coupled to an end of the robot arm and a plurality of skive tools extending from the coupler opposite to the robot arm, where each skive tool includes a rod extending from the coupler and a skive attached to the rod opposite to the coupler. In one embodiment, the plurality of skive tools is three skive tools positioned in a circle and spaced 120 relative to each other. Each rod is extendable and retractable from the coupler independent from the other rods so as to allow the extended skive to perform a skiving operation without interference from the other skives. The robot arm also includes a nozzle configured for dispensing a sealant onto a seam of a part, where the skives remove some of the sealant after the sealant has been dispensed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to additive manufacturing apparatuses, cleaning stations incorporated therein, and methods of cleaning using the cleaning stations.

Provided is an automated self-cleaning skylight including a frame (1) fitted with glass (2) and installed with guide rails (3) on both sides of the frame that guides a wiper beam (12) consisting of wiper blade guide plates (9) and driven by a motor (4) with both sides being connected to shafts (5), wherein at opposite corners of the frame are located with spray nozzles (13) via which a cleaning solution is sprayed, and one side of the shafts is connected to a rotating pulley (6) that connects to a drive belt (8) connected to a tension pulley (7). When the shaft is rotated by the motor, the rotating pulley and the tension pulley are in turn rotated, causing the drive belt to shift and drive the wiper blade guide plates attached to the drive belt and a wiper blade (17) inserted into a groove in the wiper beam.

A system for coating removal is disclosed. The system may include at least one induction head. The at least one induction head may be electrically connected to a power supply wherein the power supply and the at least one induction head are configured to deliver energy to the coating at an energy density level at or above an incineration threshold for the coating. The system may also include a vacuum system configured to extract at least a portion of the coating, including incineration products generated by delivery of the energy to the coating.

A window wiper includes an elongated profile of waterproof flexible material having a base extending under weather stripping for a side vehicle window, a support connected along the base to extend above the weather stripping, a cover connected along the support and extending over the base for covering at least some of the weather stripping and a wiper portion connected along the support and having a resilient wiper area for pressing against the window. A length of adhesive tape is connected along the profile and extends over the base for adhering to the weather stripping to fix the window wiper to the weather stripping.

An ocean surface-driven apparatus (1) to be installed around structural marine components comprising at least one ring wherein said ring comprising a plurality of rollers (2) disposed on a plurality of roller shafts (3) which are linked together by connectors (4). A plurality of linking members (5) with at least one moving self-cleaning ring (6) disposed on each linking member, said linking members linking a plurality of rings together.

One embodiment of a palm-held device for cleaning field debris off the underside of athletic shoes which have cleats or spikes, comprises a handle (10) connected via a neck (12) to a cleaning platform (14) below. There is a plurality of cleaning pegs (18) protruding orthogonally from the base (16) of the cleaning platform (14). Additional cleaning elements that may extend outward from the cleaning platform (14) include a straight scraper (20) and a serrated scraper (22). The device may be fabricated from a variety of materials, with the preferred materials being fairly-high strength engineering polymeric materials, with or without fiber reinforced composites. The device may be made fabricated by injection molding and could be done as one piece or multiple pieces that were then fused together. It may also be fabricated using additive manufacturing. Other embodiments are described.

A cleaning system and method for an enclosed space include a floor including a hydrophobic material configured to repel liquid. One or more wipers are configured to sweep one or both of the liquid or debris off the floor, such as into an inlet of a vacuum.
