Abstract: A bathing chair device is provided. The device is comprised of a base that receives at least one repositionable seat and a backrest. The backrest is comprised of at least one spinning brush that can clean the back of a user when the user sits in the seat. In one embodiment, the backrest is detachable from the base/seat and can be secured to a wall surface to allow the brush to clean a user's back while the user is standing.

Abstract: We describe a print removal system for removing print from a print-carrying medium, the print removal system comprising one or more slots for receiving one or more cartridges configured to collect removed print debris.

Abstract: We describe a print removal device for removing print from a print-carrying medium. In embodiments the print removal device comprises: a feed system for receiving the print-carrying medium and guiding the print-carrying medium through the print removal device; and a system to remove the print from the print-carrying medium, in particular a laser light source for providing a controllable laser light beam to remove the print from the print-carrying medium. Previously used paper for “unprinting” may not be flat and well-behaved, and access may be needed to the full width of the paper creating a section where physical guiding is compromised, and thus the feed system comprises a media guide with an inflection configured to bias the print-carrying medium towards a face of the print-carrying medium which faces away from the laser light source when the print-carrying medium is guided through the print removal device also having the benefit to control the media more accurately to the preferred optical focus plane.

Abstract: Using a processor to receive a signal indicative of actuation of a cleansing product dispenser at a hand cleansing station and to receive a signal indicative of the presence of an individual at said cleansing station following actuation of the cleansing product dispenser. The processor is configured to process said signals to generate hand wash event data indicative of a length of a continuous period of time spent by said individual at said hand cleansing station. Hand wash event data is collated for a plurality of hand wash events at a stand-alone hand cleansing station or a plurality of linked hand cleansing stations in order to provide an indication of hand wash quality for said plurality of hand wash events and/or an indication of a number of compliant hand wash events. A running total of compliant hand wash events may be displayed to users.

Abstract: A plunger moves from a retracted position to an extended position to engage a document which is on a receiving platform to push the document through an opening in the receiving platform and towards a stacking platform to stack the document on the stacking platform. The plunger moves from the extended position back to the retracted position to allow a biasing force which is acting on the stacking platform to press the document which has just been stacked on the stacking platform against the receiving platform.
