Abstract: A circuit assembly and a method for controlling operation states The circuit can be shifted by idle signals from the active operation state into the idle state and can be shifted by wake-up signals in an edge-triggered manner from the idle state into the active operation state if the wake-up signal executes a change in potential from a non-activation potential to an activation potential. The wake-up signals are supplied to a wake-up signal input of the circuit with the interposition of a masking circuit, which passes through the wake-up signals to the wake-up signal input in the idle state of the circuit and, in the active operation state of the circuit, applies to the wake-up signal input a predetermined electric masking potential, from which a change in potential towards the activation potential of the wake-up signal shifts the circuit from the idle state into the active operation state.

Abstract: A rotatable agitator is used in a surface clearing head of a surface cleaning apparatus. The agitator is coupled to the cleaning head at least partially within an agitator chamber and is rotated about a pivot axis. The agitator includes an elongated agitator body and a hair migration portion. The hair migration portion includes a continuous row of bristles and a sidewall. The continuous row of bristles and sidewall are at least partially revolved around and extend along at least a portion of the pivot axis from one of a collection area or a first end region of the agitator and either another collection area or a second end region of the agitator. The sidewall extends substantially parallel to the continuous row of bristles within the hair migration portion. The continuous row of bristles and sidewall are configured to reduce hair from becoming entangled in the bristles and to migrate hair towards the collection area or the first end region of the agitator.

Abstract: A cross reality system enables any of multiple devices to efficiently and accurately access previously persisted maps, even maps of very large environments, and render virtual content specified in relation to those maps. The cross reality system may quickly process a batch of images acquired with a portable device to determine whether there is sufficient consistency across the batch in the computed localization. Processing on at least one image from the batch may determine a rough localization of the device to the map. This rough localization result may be used in a refined localization process for the image for which it was generated. The rough localization result may also be selectively propagated to a refined localization process for other images in the batch, enabling rough localization processing to be skipped for the other images.
