  • Publication number: 20200397204
    Abstract: A robotic cleaning device configured to control operation of a cleaning program in progress is provided. The robotic cleaning device has a propulsion system configured to move the device, at least one battery configured to power the device, and a controller configured to receive an instruction to pause the cleaning program in progress, control, in response to the instruction to pause, the propulsion system to cause the device to travel to a charging station to recharge the device battery, receive a further instruction to resume the cleaning program that was in progress upon receiving the instruction to pause, and resume, in response to the further instruction, the cleaning program that was in progress upon receiving the instruction to pause.

  • Patent number: 9751115
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for operating a washer, and in preferred embodiments to a washer having a water tank that is integrally, preferably detachably, formed with the washer, wherein the washer comprises a washing chamber for accommodating goods to be cleaned, said washing chamber having in its lower portion a sump for collecting water during operation of the washer, a water inlet, a circulating pump for circulating water through the washing chamber, and a control unit for controlling a washing cycle carried out by the washer. In accordance with the invention, in this method water is fed via the water inlet into the sump; the pressure within an inlet or outlet conduit of the circulating pump is measured; and based on the pressure measurement the washing cycle is controlled and/or indicator signals are issued to a user of the washer.
