Abstract: A floor scrubber cleaning system includes a combustion engine powered floor scrubber using at least one rotating scrubbing brush/pad. A tank or reservoir is used for supplying a cleaning solution to the scrubbing brush/pad for cleaning a floor. A heat exchanger uses coolant from the combustion engine to heat the cleaning solution where it is dispensed directly onto the floor.

Abstract: An electronic vaping apparatus is provided. A converter comprises a body comprising a top end comprising a receiver cavity, and a female threaded receiver located in the receiver cavity. The converter further comprises a bottom end opposite to the top end, the bottom end comprising a converter electrical port. The converter further comprises a first electrical connector extending from the converter electrical port and terminating in the receiver cavity. The female threaded receiver has a shape corresponding to, and configured to engage with, a male threaded screw of a cartridge. The first electrical connector terminating in the receiver cavity is configured to couple with a cartridge electrical port of the cartridge, when the cartridge is coupled to the receiver cavity by screwing in the male threaded screw of the cartridge into the female threaded receiver of the converter, completely.

Abstract: A handheld communication device (10) is provided.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and electronic device for displaying data are disclosed. A non-rectangular addressable liquid crystal display 402 with a non-rectangular active area active matrix 334 may display an adjustable presentation of data. A display-integrated control key may control the presentation of data. A scrolling navigation control may scroll through the adjustable presentation of the data.

Abstract: A multiprocessor system comprises at least one processing module, at least one I/O module, and an interconnect network to connect the at least one processing module with the at least one input/output module. In an example embodiment, the interconnect network comprises at least two bridges to send and receive transactions between the input/output modules and the processing module. The interconnect network further comprises at least two crossbar switches to route the transactions over a high bandwidth switch connection. Using embodiments of the interconnect network allows high bandwidth communication between processing modules and I/O modules. Standard processing module hardware can be used with the interconnect network without modifying the BIOS or the operating system. Furthermore, using the interconnect network of embodiments of the present invention is non-invasive to the processor motherboard. The processor memory bus, clock, and reset logic all remain intact.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for minimizing the accumulation of soil and debris within a vacuum system of a surface maintenance machine is disclosed. A secondary fluid, such as pressurized cleaning solution, is sprayed into the vacuum system in order to reduce soil and debris accumulation within the vacuum system without applying additional fluid to a floor surface. In one embodiment of the invention, pressurized fluid is introduced directly into the vacuum extractor tool of a surface cleaning machine in order to dislodge accumulated debris on surfaces therein. A method of minimizing the accumulation of soil and debris within the vacuum system is also disclosed. The invention is applicable to a variety of portable and vehicle-based floor cleaning machines.

Abstract: The portable electronic apparatus includes a housing (202) having a keypad (206), a rotary input device (204), a display (208), a navigation input device (210), and a speaker (212). The display is located in-between the rotary input device and the navigation input device. The speaker is disposed inside or adjacent to the navigation input device. An audio passage (228) is adjacent to or extending through the navigation input device and adjacent to the speaker. The apparatus can be configured in a substantially horizontal configuration (200) or a substantially vertical configuration (400). The information presented on the display changes orientation depending on the configuration of the apparatus.
