A fiber optic alignment device includes a first and a second alignment block and a first and a second gel block. A fiber passage extends from a first end to a second end of the fiber optic alignment device. The fiber passage is adapted to receive a first optical fiber through the first end and a second optical fiber through the second end. An intermediate portion of the fiber passage is positioned between the first and the second ends. The intermediate portion is adapted to align the first and the second optical fibers between the first and the second alignment blocks. A first portion of the fiber passage is positioned between the first end and the intermediate portion of the fiber passage. The first portion extends between the first alignment block and the first gel block. A second portion of the fiber passage is positioned between the second end and the intermediate portion of the fiber passage. The second portion extends between the second alignment block and the second gel block. End portions of the first and the second optical fibers may be cleaned when slid between the alignment blocks and the gel blocks. The fiber passage may include an undulating portion.

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).

The Soap'r-Saver is a very simple device; simply designed, simply made, and simple to use. A Consumer bath item utilizing ones favorite bar soaps that have been used until they're worn down to a piece too small to effectively use in the bath.

Weighing only one ounce when empty, only thick/wide, but capacity to hold a lot of pieces of soap of all sizes.

The invention relates to mobile phone peripheral devices, and discloses a cleaning device for a mobile phone screen which includes a frame. The frame is fixedly connected with a bracket, and a top end of the bracket is fixedly connected with a bearing sleeve. The inside of the bearing sleeve is rotatably connected with a rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected with a rotating knob. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected with a bevel gear. The inner of the bevel gear is fixedly sleeved with a threaded rod. Two ends of the threaded rod are rotationally connected with a bearing block. The surface of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the limiting block. The cleaning device for the mobile phone screen is provided with a rotary knob and a bevel gear, and the rotary knob is rotated to drive the bevel gear so that the supporting plate can moves up and down. The position between the supporting plate and the cleaning sheet is located in accordance with the different thickness of the mobile phone, and the transmission is stable and precise. And it is possible to clean the screens of different sizes of mobile phones, thereby achieving a wide range of applications.

A substrate cleaning apparatus for performing scrub cleaning of a surface of a substrate by rotating both of the substrate and a roll cleaning member while keeping the roll cleaning member in contact with the surface. The apparatus includes a roll holder configured to support and rotate a roll cleaning member, a vertical movement mechanism, having a vertically movable unit vertically movable by actuating an actuator having a regulating device, configured to vertically move the roll holder coupled to the vertically movable unit so the roll cleaning member applies a roll load to the substrate W while cleaning the substrate. A load cell provided between the vertically movable unit of the vertical movement mechanism and the roll holder is configured to measure the roll load. A controller is configured to perform feedback control of the roll load through the regulating device based on a measured value of the load cell.

The invention relates to a dental cleaning wipe comprising a non-woven textile support impregnated with a dental hygiene composition containing mechanically-broken microcapsules, the content of which is released by breaking the wall, as well as controlled-release microcapsules, the content of which is released by permeation through the wall, the walls of said microcapsules being water-insoluble.

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.

A viscous material wiping device wipes the viscous material attached to the tip of a spatula with a sheet. A sheet support jig has a groove recessed in the sheet facing surface, the groove includes a receiving portion and a wiping portion that are continuous in the groove extending direction, and the wiping portion has a groove width smaller than that of the receiving portion and substantially equal to the outer dimension of the tip of the spatula. A controller drives the moving mechanism to position the spatula on the opposite side of the sheet supporting jig with respect to the sheet in a posture that the spatula extends parallel to the groove extending direction and overlaps the groove when viewed in a normal direction of the sheet facing surface, and move the spatula in the normal direction so that the tip of the spatula is received in the receiving portion by pressing the sheet against the groove with the spatula. The spatula is configured to move in the groove extending direction so that the tip of the spatula passes through the wiping portion.

The invention discloses a heating device for holding and holding a mobile phone, which includes a warming block. The warming block is provided with a working cavity and a mobile phone cavity. The working cavity is provided with a temperature measuring mechanism. The water storage frame on the lower end wall of the working chamber is provided with a clamping mechanism on the upper side of the temperature measuring mechanism, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping block, and two clamping grooves are symmetrically provided on the rear wall of the working chamber. A moving mechanism is provided on the right side of the clamping mechanism, and the moving mechanism includes a contact shaft that is rotatably disposed on the rear wall of the working cavity. The device is easy to operate. After the mobile phone is clamped with two clamping blocks, the heating block is heated. It can heat the water in the water storage cavity. After heating to the moving temperature, it can stop heating excitedly to prevent the heating temperature from being too high and cause users to burn. When the heating is completed, the cleaning block will wipe the screen surface of the mobile phone in order. So that users do not have to manually wipe the screen of the phone.
