  • Publication number: 20180055299
    Abstract: A cleaning brush apparatus that is mountable onto a platform that is suitably suspended from a building for cleaning exterior and/or interior surfaces of the building. The cleaning brush apparatus includes a cleaning brush that is rotatable relative to the platform about a rotation axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the platform. The cleaning brush apparatus is mounted to the platform in a manner to define a walkway on the platform to the rear of the rotation axis that permits a human operator to walk on the platform behind the rotation axis and along at least a length of the cleaning brush apparatus. The cleaning brush apparatus may also be adjustably mounted on the platform to permit the cleaning brush apparatus to be adjusted in position on and relative to the platform in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 8950678
    Abstract: An optical reader for decoding an encoded symbol character of a symbology includes a scan data signal processor having as an input a scan data signal encoding information representative of the encoded symbol character. The scan data signal processor includes a first time delay stage adapted to provide a primary phase waveform from the scan data signal, a second time delay stage adapted to provide an early phase waveform from the scan data signal, and a third time delay stage adapted to provide a delayed phase waveform from the scan data signal. The early phase waveform has a propagation delay less than the primary phase waveform, and the delayed phase waveform has a propagation delay greater than the primary phase waveform. The scan data signal processor further includes a peak window detection stage for generating a peak window timeframe when an amplitude of the primary phase waveform is greater than, less than, or equal to both an amplitude of the early phase waveform and the delayed phase waveform.
