Abstract: When a microphone array apparatus sound-picks up voice in a prescribed sound volume or higher, which is output from a sound source, and sends voice data on the voice to voice processing apparatus, a sound source direction detection unit causes sound source marks, each of which indicates a directivity direction, to be displayed on a display, and urges a user to make a selection among the sound source marks and to input camera information. A voice processing apparatus transmits the camera information that is input, and the directivity direction, to the microphone array apparatus. The microphone array apparatus stores the camera information and the directivity direction, as a preset information table, in a storage unit. Accordingly, where a positional relationship between the camera and the microphone array is unclear, directionality is formed in a determined image capture position, and voice in the predetermined image capture position is output clearly.

Abstract: A fluid transport container is described that comprises a wall and a valve assembly. The wall defines a hollow cavity and an aperture that extends across the wall. An extendable tube is moveable to extend out from the hollow cavity. A biasing member is provided to extend the extendable tube from the hollow cavity. The valve assembly can move between an open position and a closed position to control the flow of fluids from the container. Optionally, a trigger assembly is coupled to the valve assembly to move the valve between the open and closed positions. The trigger assembly comprises a trigger shaft that extends through the wall, to provide a trigger handle that is accessible from outside the hollow cavity. Optionally, the container includes a handle that extends away from an exterior surface of the wall and the trigger handle is positioned between the handle and the wall.

Abstract: An apparatus for washing a mat, which enables a user to introduce the mat into the apparatus pile side up so, that it can be inspected and pretreated before cleaning by the apparatus. The mat is inclined in the wash and/or rinse module of the apparatus, while a plurality of high pressure nozzles spray water onto the pile side of the mat. Water flowing down the inclined mat pre-wets regions of the mat to pre-treat these regions before they are treated by the high pressure nozzles. The apparatus may include a trough at the bottom of the incline to further soak the mat before treatment by the high pressure nozzles. The apparatus may include means for holding the mat flat on the incline, means for extracting water from the cleaned mat, and means for cleaning and reusing water.
