  • Patent number: 11957286
    Abstract: An autonomous floor cleaning robot includes a robot body defining a forward drive direction, a controller supported by the robot body, a drive supporting the robot body and configured to maneuver the robot across a surface in response to commands from the controller, a pad holder disposed on an underside of the robot body and configured to retain a removable cleaning pad during operation of the cleaning robot; and a pad sensor arranged to sense a feature of a cleaning pad held by the pad holder and generate a corresponding signal. The controller is responsive to the signal generated by the pad sensor, and configured to control the robot according to a cleaning mode selected from a set of multiple robot cleaning modes as a function of the signal generated by the pad sensor.

  • Publication number: 20230304058
    Abstract: A 5?Cap analog having a Cap2 structure and a preparation method therefor. The molecular formula of the 5? Cap analog having a Cap2 structure is selected from any one of m7G(5?)ppp(5?)(2?OMeA)p(2?OMeG), m7G(5?)ppp(5?)(2?OMeG)p(2?OMeG), etc. The 5?Cap analog having a Cap2 structure has higher synthesis efficiency, higher capping efficiency, lower immunogenicity, and higher protein translation efficiency.

  • Patent number: 9064028
    Abstract: Webpages configured for display on a full-sized screen such as a computer monitor (111) are reconfigured for use with a mobile device in accordance with a user's preferences. A custom rendering tool engages the user in customizing the webpage in order to render the webpage information suitable for display on a mobile device. A browser toolbar is used, by which the user may highlight a section of interest section (121) from a webpage and save the customization information. A proxy server receives the customization information and uses the information to accurately retrieve the sections of interest later, even after the webpage or the section has been updated.

  • Publication number: 20110281044
    Abstract: Composite structures may be formed using sheets of unidirectional fiber prepreg. Each of the prepreg sheets may include unidirectional fibers such as glass fibers and a binder such as plastic. The prepreg sheets may be wrapped around the outer surface of a drum. Ring-shaped sections of the wrapped sheets may be cut from the drum to form rings of prepreg layers. The prepreg rings may be placed into a mold cavity of a desired shape. While contained in stack of molds, prepreg rings may be cured by applying heat and pressure. Finished composite structures such as ring-shaped composite structures may be released from the molds following curing. The composite structures may be planar structures that have planar upper and lower surfaces and inner and outer edges. The fibers in the finished composite structures may run parallel to the upper and lower surfaces and parallel to the inner and outer edges.

  • Patent number: 7636244
    Abstract: A computing device having an improved enclosure arrangement is disclosed. One aspect of the enclosure pertains to enclosure parts that are structurally bonded together to form a singular composite structure. In one embodiment, structural glue is used to bond at least two unique parts together. Another aspect of the enclosure pertains to enclosure parts that are electrically bonded together to form a singular integrated conductive member. In one embodiment, conductive paste is used to bond at least two unique parts together. The improved enclosure is particularly useful in portable computing devices such as laptop computers.
