  • Publication number: 20230214441
    Abstract: A system for conducting a search of dual databases for conducting a dual search, where at least two databases are searched simultaneously by entering a single search term comprising a processor and a memory to store a set of instructions wherein the processor accesses the instructions to receive a search term by a program, dissect the search term into its component parts using a dictionary algorithm, form a first search term having a first format of the first search term, form a second search term with a second format of the second search term, use the first search term to search a first database and saving a first result, use the second search term to search a second database and saving a second result and combine the first and second results in a single display page.

  • Patent number: 7682414
    Abstract: This dust collecting unit for use in a cleaner includes an inlet port through which air and dust is taken in, a dust catch room into which the air and dust taken in through the inlet port is led, an air flow path for separating a part of air taken in through the inlet port and ensuring air flow, an air outlet port through which the air having passed through the dust catch room and the air flow path is discharged, and a filter provided on the upstream side of the air outlet port for preventing dust from flowing to the air outlet port from the dust catch room and the air flow path.

  • Patent number: 7588610
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner of the present invention guides air and dust sucked from an inlet 12 to a dust collection chamber 29 through a guide path 41. A cylindrical passage member 55 is located at a linear section of the guide pipe 41 so that its axial line may come along a direction in which the linear section 52 extends. A plurality of vent holes 47 are formed on the passage member 55 and each of the vent holes 47 is covered with a mesh filter 50. When dust is accumulated in the dust collection chamber 29 to some extent, air flowing into a lead-in pipe 43 flows to the outside (the side of a bypass passage 31) through the vent holes 47 and is guided directly to an outlet by bypassing the dust collection chamber 29.
