  • Patent number: 12245732
    Abstract: A grip handle assembly for a mop includes a grip handle and a lever that is pivotally connected to the grip handle. The grip handle may include a grip handle body that includes a passage the extends through the grip handle body, a lever mount, and a lever stop, where the lever stop includes a central protrusion extending from the grip handle body, a first stop surface, and a second stop surface. The lever may comprise a grip portion, a first forward stop member, a second forward stop member, and a rear stop member. The lever can move to a released position or an engaged position. When the lever is in the released position, the first forward stop member may engage the first stop surface of the lever stop, and the second forward stop member may engage the second strop surface of the lever stop.

  • Publication number: 20250071068
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes calculating ideal resource apportionments from a current set of consumable resources for each of a plurality of reservations. Each reservation corresponds to one of a plurality of customers. The method further includes running an apportionment process relative to the plurality of reservations. The running includes attempting to apportionment for each reservation. Each customer's actual resource apportionment comprises a sum of the actual resource apportionments for the customer's reservations. In addition, the method includes, responsive to an indication of unapportioned resources following the running, performing a first optimization to increase resource utilization by at least one needy customer.

  • Patent number: 12088506
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes empirically analyzing, by a computer cluster comprising a plurality of computers, a set of active reservations and a current set of consumable resources belonging to a class of consumable resources. Each active reservation is of a managed task type and comprises a group of one or more tasks task requiring access to a consumable resource of the class. The method further includes, based on the empirically analyzing, clocking the set of active reservations each clocking cycle. The method also includes, responsive to the clocking, sorting, by the computer cluster, a priority queue of the set of active reservations.

  • Publication number: 20230404354
    Abstract: A spin mop and bucket system to assist in dewatering a mop is disclosed. The spin mop may have a handle assembly slidably connected with a spiral member, and a mop head that is attached to the spiral member. When the handle assembly moves along the spiral member, the spiral member rotates causing the mop head to rotate. The mop head may articulate relative to the handle assembly and may be pivotally connected to the spiral member and also pivotally connected to a swivel member located between the spiral member and a mop head base. The mop head may be received in a wringer basket of a bucket assembly, such that when the mop head spins, the wringer basket spins to expel any excess fluid from the mop head.
