  • Publication number: 20230240492
    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus includes a combing unit including a series of spaced protrusions or teeth extending into a cleaning roller for preventing build up and removing debris (such as hair, string, and the like). The protrusions extend along a substantial portion of the cleaning roller and extend partially into the cleaning roller to intercept the debris as it passes around the roller. The protrusions have angled leading edges that are not aligned with a rotation center of the cleaning roller and are directed into or against a direction of rotation of the cleaning roller. The combing unit and protrusions have a shape and configuration designed to facilitate debris removal from the cleaning roller with minimal impact on the operation of the cleaning apparatus. The cleaning apparatus may include a surface cleaning head of an upright vacuum cleaner or sweeper or a robotic vacuum cleaner.

  • Patent number: 11712139
    Abstract: A surface cleaning head with a leading roller may be used to facilitate capturing of debris in the air flow into a suction conduit on the underside of the surface cleaning head. The leading roller is generally positioned adjacent to and in advance of the opening of the suction conduit. The surface cleaning head may have dual agitators—a leading roller and a rotating brush roll—with the leading roller being located in front of the brush roll. The leading roller may have a smaller diameter than the brush roll and may provide a softer cleaning element. The leading roller may also have a bottom portion exposed to the flow path to the suction conduit and at least a top half that is not exposed to that flow path. The leading roller may also float relative to the surface cleaning head and/or may be adjustable relative to the brush roll.

  • Patent number: 11709660
    Abstract: A message management platform may receive, from an application operator, a configuration of a message flow. The message flow includes one or more messages associated with trigger conditions. The platform may receive, from a code snippet incorporated in an application of a user computing device, a notification that the user computing device has used the application. The platform may associate a user identifier with the user computing device. The platform may subscribe to, on behalf of the application operator, one or more API notification channels of the application builder platform. The platform may receive an API notification from the application builder platform. The platform may determine that the application builder platform's user is associated with the user identifier used by the message management platform. The platform may determine that the event described in the payload matches the trigger condition and transmit the first message to the user computing device.

  • Patent number: 11655010
    Abstract: An assembly of vessel and turret is provided. The vessel comprises a moonpool and the turret is mounted in said moonpool for a rotation around a turret axis relative to the vessel. The turret comprises a chain table to which mooring lines are connected and through which risers are conveyed, and a turret table vertically spaced above the chain table and connected therewith by a connecting structure. The connecting structure comprises at least three vertically extending columns positioned such at angular intervals that radially outer sides of the columns are located in the vicinity of an outer circumference of the turret. The risers are conveyed through the chain table in such a way that riser sections above the chain table extend towards the turret table within an internal space of the columns.

The leading roller is generally positioned adjacent to and in advance of the opening of the suction conduit. The rotating brush roll may be located in the suction conduit with the leading roller located in front of and spaced from the brush roll, forming an inter-roller air passageway therebetween. The leading roller may provide a softer cleaning element than the brush roll and may also have an outside diameter that is less than the outside diameter of the brush roll. The surface cleaning head may also include debriding protrusions contacting the leading roller and/or a leading bumper that extends in front of the leading roller.

  • Publication number: 20220388167
    Abstract: In order to be able to automatically eliminate discrepancies, arising in the course of the configuration of a robot-object system environment, between the reality of the robot-object system environment and its digital representation as a CAD model, without manual on-site commissioning of the robot-object system environment with adaptation of the CAD model to the reality, the following is proposed for configuring a robot-object system environment having at least one object and having a robot for object manipulation and object sensing: synchronizing a digital robot twin, which digitally represents the robot-object system environment and controls the robot for the object manipulation on the basis of a control program, for expedient use of the robot in the robot-object system environment during the object manipulation, appropriately and, in this regard, in one or two stages.

  • Publication number: 20220383426
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to transacting via social media interactions. In an example, content posted by a first user of a social media service provider and/or response(s) to the content posted by the first user of the social media service can be analyzed by computing system(s) of a payment processing service provider. The response(s) can be associated with second user(s) of the social media service provider. The computing system(s) can determine, based at least in part on the analyzing, an intent of at least the first user or the second user(s) to participate in a transaction for an item depicted in the content and can create a record indicating that item(s) depicted in the content are available for purchase by the second user(s). The record can be created at or near a time that the content is posted by the first user and used for facilitating the transaction.
