In an example, a wiper system includes a first wiper blade, a second wiper blade, and a cam. In that example, the cam is coupled to the first wiper blade to move the first wiper blade to a first wipe position when the cam is in a first cam position and coupled to the second wiper blade to move the second wiper blade to a second wipe position when the cam is in a second cam position.

A lens and/or a view screen of an electronic device having at least one case can be cleaned by wiping the view screen with a cleaning component wherein the cleaning component is configured to selectively couple to the at least one case or some other substrate using a magnetic attractive force. The cleaning devices may have secondary applications such as securing fly fishing lures, activating or deactivating a device having a magnetic switch, or preventing sunglasses from sinking. They may also be manufactured without a cleaning component for use with the secondary applications.

An object driving device includes an object, a driving unit, an image capturing unit and a processing unit. The driving unit is connected to the object. The processing unit is electrically connected to the driving unit and the image capturing unit. The processing unit controls the driving unit to drive the object to move and controls the image capturing unit to capture a plurality of initial images. The processing unit subtracts pixel data of every two adjacent initial images from each other to obtain at least one subtracted image. The processing unit determines a current image position of the object in each of the at least one subtracted image. The processing unit determines a current real position of the object according to the current image position. The processing unit controls the driving unit to drive the object to move from the current real position to a target position.

A method of cleaning deposited material from a molding surface (10) of a mold (1) for forming ophthalmic lenses, including bringing a cleaning head (20) into contact with the molding surface (10), the rotational axis (22) of the cleaning head (20) being arranged normal to the molding surface (10), rotating (220) the cleaning head (20) around the rotational axis (22) while maintaining the contact between the cleaning head (20) and the molding surface (10), moving the cleaning head (20) to perform a precession motion (110) around a central normal (11) on the molding surface (10), while rotating (220) the cleaning head (20) around the rotational axis (22) and while maintaining the contact between the cleaning head (20) and the molding surface (10). During the precession motion (110) the rotational axis (22) includes an inclination angle (1,2) with the central normal (11) on the molding surface (10).

An automotive surface is cleaned by applying an effective amount of a cleaning composition comprising a) at least one hydrocarbon solvent in an amount from about 3 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of the composition, b) at least one thickener/rheology modifier in an amount from about 0.01 weight percent to about 3 weight percent, c) at least one silicone fluid has a viscosity ranging from about 500 to about 20,000 centistokes at 25 C., present in an amount from about 0.1 weight percent to about 3 weight percent, d) at least one wetting agent in an amount from about 0.001 to about 2%, e) at least one hydrophobic additive in an amount from about 0.1 to about 3%, and f) water in an amount from about 60 weight percent to about 85 weight percent to the automotive surface with an application implement.

A polycarbonate headlight lens cleaning and restoring kit has a lens cleaning composition, an applicator wipe; and a lens restoring composition comprising a coating component. The polycarbonate cleaning composition contains only liquid components and is free of water. The cleaning composition has a first solvent that softens a Control Polycarbonate Substrate and has a flash point of from 58 F to 220 F; and a second solvent that does not soften a Control Polycarbonate Substrate. The first solvent and the second solvent are present in an amount effective to substantially remove discoloring contaminants from a polycarbonate headlight lens and the polycarbonate lens, and also in an amount so that, after removal of the discoloring contaminants, the polycarbonate headlight lens can be restored to a clear condition. A method of cleaning and restoring a polycarbonate headlight lens that is at least partially discolored from discoloring contaminants is also provided.

A cleaning method by which a cleaning apparatus including a first cleaner and a second cleaner cleans a detection element including a detection surface includes cleaning by the first cleaner the detection surface of the detection element by wind pressure, and wiping the detection surface of the detection element with the second cleaner in a contacted manner, wherein the cleaning by the first cleaner and the wiping by the second cleaner are performed in this order.

A cleaning apparatus which cleans a detection element having a detection surface includes a wiping cleaner configured to perform wiping cleaning in a state of being in contact with the detection surface, and a conduction member configured to become conductive with the wiping cleaner to be made equal in electric potential to the wiping cleaner, wherein, when the wiping cleaner and the conduction member become conductive with each other, the detection surface and the wiping cleaner become equal in electric potential to each other.

Nonwoven materials having at least one layer are provided, as well as their use in cleaning articles. More particularly, the nonwoven materials can include a rough outer surface useful for scrubbing purposes. Alternatively or additionally, the nonwoven materials can include a carrier composition including a binder and a blocking agent. The carrier composition can repel a sanitizing agent, such as a quaternary ammonium compound, from the surface of the nonwoven material.

A surgical cleaning tool and method of cleaning a surgical tool. The surgical cleaning tool includes a shaft, a handle and an end portion. The shaft has a distal end and a proximal end. The handle is attached to the distal end of the shaft The end portion is connected to the proximal end of the shaft, wherein the end portion has an outer surface, an inner cavity, an inner surface, at least one cleaning element connected to at least a portion of the inner surface, and an opening in a wall portion of the end portion, wherein the opening allows access to the cleaning element in the inner cavity of the end portion.
