Publication number: 20050065662Abstract: Several methods of controlling a vacuum cleaner (10) using various types of sensors (94, 96, 97, 98) are provided. One method is based on a differential pressure between a suction airflow path and ambient air and includes: detecting the differential pressure, comparing the detected differential pressure to a predetermined threshold, and, when the detected differential pressure is less than the predetermined threshold, initiating a predetermined control procedure. A status indicator (164) is updated based on the detected differential pressure. Another method is based on a level of electrical current flowing through a brush motor (100). Still another method is based on a type or condition of the floor being traversed. Yet another method is based on a distance to a surface of a floor over which the vacuum cleaner is advancing. In another aspect of the invention, a vacuum cleaner is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2003Publication date: March 24, 2005Inventors: Mark Reindle, Bruce Knox, Norman Siegel

Patent number: 6740748Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the use of genetic engineering to induce developmental regulation in anther tissue of plants, and more particularly to induce nuclear male sterility, and to genetic sequences useful for same. More particularly, the present invention relates to the identification of a genomic clone and promoter capable of tissue- and development-specific expression which provides a means of tissue and developmental regulation in plants and more specifically a means of producing nuclear male sterile plants. Even more particularly, the present invention provides a genomic clone having a nucleotide sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO. 1 or homologous sequences thereof such as the nucleotide sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO. 3.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1995Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: The Univeristy of MelbourneInventors: Robert Bruce Knox, Mohan Bir Singh, Huiling Xu
