Cleaning system and method of controlling cleaning system
A cleaning system includes a mower that executes a mowing work while traveling autonomously, and a cleaning station that cleans the mower. The cleaning system includes: an acquirer that acquires dirt information relating to a state of dirt of the mower; a determiner that determines at least one of a necessity of cleaning the mower and a method of cleaning the mower, based on the dirt information; and a first cleaning executor that executes a cleaning operation, according to a determination result of the determiner.
Substrate processing apparatus and substrate processing method
A substrate processing apparatus includes: a holder that holds a substrate; a liquid supply that sequentially supplies a first processing liquid and a second processing liquid to a main surface of the substrate held by the holder; a friction body that comes into contact with and rub the main surface of the substrate during the supply of the first processing liquid and the second processing liquid; a mover that moves a contact position of the friction body in a first axial direction and a second axial direction; and a controller that controls the liquid supply and the mover to move the contact position of the friction body in one-side direction of the first axial direction during the supply of the first processing liquid, and move the contact position of the friction body in the other-side direction of the first axial direction during the supply of the second processing liquid.
Sensor obstruction detection and mitigation
A system may be configured to detect an obstruction on sensor at least partially obstructing or distorting a portion of the field of view of the sensor. The system may also be configured to mitigate the effects of the obstruction or at least partially remove the obstruction from the sensor. The system may be configured to receive one or more signals from a sensor configured to generate signals indicative of an environment, which may include one or more objects, in which the sensor is present. The system may be configured to determine, for example, classify, based at least in part on the one or more signals, an obstruction or distortion on a surface of the sensor, and initiate a response, based at least in part on the determination, to mitigate effects of the obstruction and/or at least partially remove the obstruction.
Steam cleaning of CMP components
A method of cleaning for a chemical mechanical polishing system includes directing a gas that includes steam from an orifice onto a component in the polishing system while the component is spaced away from a polishing pad of the polishing system to clean the component, and moving the component into contact with the polishing pad.
Cleaning device, polishing device, and device and method for calculating rotation speed of substrate in cleaning 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.
System and method for cleaning surfaces through drones
This disclosure relates to system and method for cleaning surfaces using drones. The method includes identifying, by a first drone, a cleaning strip in contact with a surface. The cleaning strip connects a second drone and a third drone. The second drone is communicatively coupled with the third drone. The first drone is communicatively coupled with each of the second drone and the third drone. The method further includes releasing a cleaning agent at a preconfigured pressure upon a current target region of the surface near the cleaning strip. The method further includes relocating the cleaning strip upon the current target region. The method further includes performing a set of oscillations through the cleaning strip across the current target region. Each of the set of oscillations includes coordinating a displacement of the cleaning strip by a predefined distance, alternating towards each of ends of the cleaning strip.
Debris Removal From High Aspect Structures
A debris collection and metrology system for collecting and analyzing debris from a tip used in nanomachining processes, the system including an irradiation source, an irradiation detector, an actuator, and a controller. The irradiation source is operable to direct incident irradiation onto the tip, and the irradiation detector is operable to receive a sample irradiation from the tip, the sample irradiation being generated as a result of the direct incident irradiation being applied onto the tip. The controller is operatively coupled to an actuator system and the irradiation detector, and the controller is operable to receive a first signal based on a first response of the irradiation detector to the sample irradiation, and the controller is operable to effect relative motion between the tip and at least one of the irradiation source and the irradiation detector based on the first signal.
INTELLIGENT BATHING BED
An intelligent bathing bed is provided, which includes an underframe and a mattress. The mattress is arranged within the underframe, the mattress includes a fixed mattress and a movable mattress. The fixed mattress and the movable mattress are arranged at intervals in a same plane. The movable mattress is connected with the underframe through a water outlet pipe. The movable mattress includes a roller. A peripheral surface of the roller is provided with a water outlet array and a massaging head array. The water outlet array and the massaging head array are arranged at intervals. The intelligent bathing bed further includes a driving mechanism. The roller is connected with the driving mechanism, and the roller is driven by the driving mechanism to rotate along a central axis. The disclosure has advantages that it is less operation difficulty, can guarantee use safety of the users, and is suitable for the elderly population.
Articulating dust collector
The device includes a substantially cylindrical, oblong, rigid, extension pole having a distal end upon which is formed an articulatable jaw structure head which can be actuated between open and closed positions by the pull of either a medial handle or knob located at the proximal end. A collector sock made from a pliable sheet material can be mounted upon the jaw structure so that the sock enwraps the entire item to be dusted such as a ceiling fan blade. The inner surface of the sock surrounding its open end maw can include asperities and electrostatic, dust adhering fibers to help scrape off and capture fine particles of dust and other debris from the item being dusted. The head can include a pair of parallely separatable cantelevered beams engaging the sock.
SEAMING ROLLER CLEANER AND METHOD FOR CLEANING SUCH A CLEANER
A seaming roller cleaner includes a base body, on which a driven roll receptacle and a non-driven roll receptacle are mounted. The roll receptacles are used to receive paper web rolls. The paper web roll includes a cleaning web, and the base body provides a support over which the cleaning web is laid to define a cleaning surface. The cleaning web is drawn by the driven roll receptacle in the direction of the driven roll receptacle. The non-driven roll receptacle is passively rotated and may be slightly braked to prevent rotating too quickly. The support includes a carrier plate and an elastomer. The seaming roller may be arranged at an oblique angle relative to the direction of the cleaning web is drawn, such that the seaming roller is wiped and slowly rotated by the cleaning web.
