A self-propelled device includes a body, a walking module, an air extraction module, an air pressure sensor and at least one bumper structure. The body is defined with a first space and a second space in communication with the first space, wherein the volume of the second space is smaller than the volume of the first space and the second space is closer to a side of the body than the first space. The walking module is adjacent to the body. The air extraction module is arranged on the body and is in communication with the first space. The air pressure sensor is arranged on the body and disposed at one end of the second space. The bumper structure is relatively movably arranged on the body, and is configured to close the second space when located at a first position and open the second space when located at a second position. The self-propelled device is for walking on a board surface.

20240132023 · 2024-04-25 ·

A camera cleaning system for cleaning a field of view of a camera includes a cover having a three-dimensional surface positioned at least partially around a longitudinal axis and extending through an opening in a housing. The cover defines a chamber in which a camera may be mounted. The cover is configured to rotate around the longitudinal axis while a wiper positioned along the opening of the housing engages the three-dimensional surface of the cover, thereby cleaning a field of view of a camera when a camera is mounted therein.

Wet wiper articles and methods for cleaning removable dental appliances

A wet wiper for cleaning an oral cavity or an oral appliance. The wet wiper comprises a water insoluble substrate and a physiologically acceptable cleansing composition. Methods for cleansing oral cavities and oral appliances are also provided, such methods comprising the step of contacting the surface of an oral cavity or an oral appliance with a wet wiper of the present invention for a sufficient time to permit cleaning.

A composite nonwoven sheet material includes pulp fibers, a reinforcement material and microfibers. The sheet material has one pulp-enriched first outer layer and one microfiber-enriched second outer layer, the reinforcement material is thereby interposed between the pulp-enriched first outer layer and the microfiber-enriched second outer layer and the pulp fibers and the microfibers penetrate the reinforcement material. Also disclosed is a process of producing such composite nonwoven sheet material and the use of such composite nonwoven sheet material.

Silicone rubber foam brush

A method of performing at least one of a cleaning, buffing, and polishing action on a surface, without requiring water, comprises providing a core member having a plurality of C-shaped grooves having respective openings and at least one sheet of material. The at least one sheet of material comprises a closed-cell silicone foam rubber and is attached to the core member using a coil-shaped element and has a first free end portion extending away from the core member. The core member moves by rotation in a first direction such that a portion of the at least one sheet of material is brought into sliding contact with the surface in a repeating pattern. The sliding contact between the at least one sheet of material and the surface occurs under a pressure and relative velocity sufficient to generate a force that results in at least one of a cleaning, buffing, and polishing.

HARD SURFACE CLEANERS COMPRISING CARBOXYLATED FRUCTAN

The need for a hard surface cleaning composition which provides improved surface shine while maintaining cleaning efficacy, and also improves the prevention of water-marks, especially from inclined surfaces, is met by formulating the composition with low levels of surfactant and a carboxylated fructan.

REDUCED MISTING ALKALINE AND NEUTRAL CLEANING, SANITIZING, AND DISINFECTING COMPOSTIONS VIA THE USE OF HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT WATER-IN-OIL EMULSION POLYMERS

Alkaline sprayable aqueous compositions for cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting are disclosed. In particular, the sprayable compositions include an inverse emulsion polymer for modifying the viscosity of the composition and provide numerous benefits over dispersion polymer compositions used for rheology modification to reduce misting and respiratory inhalation of cleaning compositions. Compositions and methods of cleaning using the compositions having reduced amounts of airborne particulates of the composition during spray applications are provided.

PRE-LOADED FLOOR WIPES WITH IMPROVED PICKUP

A pre-loaded cleaning substrate, and related systems and methods for picking up particles with an aspect ratio (L/D) greater than 300 (e.g., hair), or greater than 1200 (e.g., particularly long hairs). The substrate (e.g., a nonwoven) may include only a single layer of material. The pre-loaded substrate is loaded (e.g., during manufacture) with a cleaning composition. The fibers of the substrate may have an average diameter less than 15 m, the substrate may have an air permeability of 35 ft.sup.3/min to 75 ft.sup.3/min, and the liquid cleaning composition may have a surface tension of less than about 50 dynes/cm. Together, the combination of the particular substrate and cleaning composition may facilitate markedly improved ability to pick up high L/D aspect ratio particle debris (e.g., such as hair), while retaining such particles (e.g., providing hair retention index values of at least 20).
