Abstract: A vacuum cleaning system including a robotic unit including a traction arrangement, and a docking interface for receiving a handheld vacuum cleaner, and a handheld vacuum cleaner configured to be docked with the docking interface. The handheld vacuum cleaner includes a vacuum motor for drawing air through a suction flow path defined by the robot unit when docked with the docking interface. The handheld vacuum cleaner includes a main body from which extends a battery pack. When the handheld vacuum cleaner is docked with the docking interface, it is configured such that the battery pack extends over the top of at least part of the robotic unit. Conveniently, the robotic unit and the handheld vacuum cleaner may share one or more common suction tools, which means that both machines can be optimised for the surfaces they are intended to clean.

Abstract: Information is provided to a service mesh by a Kubernetes (K8s) controller. The information enables the service mesh to determine an IP address of application pods to which a monitoring request is destined. The K8s controller detects which of the application pods are scheduled to be monitored by the monitoring service. The K8s controller creates dummy headless services that match the application pods scheduled to be monitored. The service mesh is programmed information from the dummy headless services to cause the service mesh to intercept the monitoring request and identify that the monitoring request is destined to the dummy headless service based on the addresses. In response the service mesh encrypts the monitoring request.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an electromechanical sear that is implementable in a gun. The gun may include a fire control manager, and the fire control manager may identify a trigger break based on a trigger sensor, transmit, based on the trigger break, a first signal to a first actuator located in a displacement path of a sear, so as to cause the first actuator to be displaced in a first direction, and transmit, based on the trigger break, a second signal to a second actuator located in the displacement path of the sear, so as to cause the second actuator to be displaced in a second direction. The transmitting the first signal to the first actuator and the transmitting the second signal to the second actuator may cause displacement of the sear and firing of the gun.
