Mark Steven Citsay has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10885768
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting a site maintenance operation done by a maintenance device are described. At least one motion sensor and at least one localization sensor can each be operatively coupled to the maintenance device to detect one or more motion parameters of the maintenance device via the motion sensor and the localization sensor. The maintenance device can be localized (e.g., its position located) on the indoor map. A movement of the maintenance device can be characterized and/or tracked on the indoor map. A motion map can be displayed to illustrate (e.g., visually represent) the characterized movement. An offsite computer can be used to determine whether the site maintenance operation has commenced at the indoor location, measure one or more maintenance parameters of the site maintenance operation and/or compare the one or more maintenance parameters to predetermined benchmark parameters to determine whether the site maintenance operation has been completed.

  • Patent number: 9061323
    Abstract: A cleaning system comprising a liquid source configured to provide a feed liquid at a first temperature, and an electrolysis cell configured to receive the feed liquid and to electrochemically activate the feed liquid to provide an electrochemically-activated liquid, wherein the electrochemical activation also heats the feed liquid such that the electrochemically-activated liquid is at an elevated temperature that is greater than the first temperature. The cleaning system also includes a dispenser configured to dispense the electrochemically-activated liquid.
