Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an integrated methodology that simplifies upgrade choices for complex computer products through the use of automation and integration of product monitoring and business applications with, for example, web based capabilities. Historical information for computer systems is collected and transmitted to a remote support system. Over time, sufficient historical data provides a historical view of the systems indicative of usage and facilitating the choice of product enhancements, upgrades and customization. Further, this historical view may be integrated with the advances in the product that are kept by the remote support system as well as with the performance requirements of third party application providers.

Abstract: A mophead comprises a holder, flexible absorbent mop material held by the holder, and a cleaning implement. The cleaning implement is independent of the mop material and is permanently attached, or disengageably attachable, to the holder at a position adjacent to the outside of the mop material.

Abstract: A manual squeegee device for the movement of residual liquid on a surface, the squeegee device including a support element, first and second elongate blade holders and a coupling, the blade holders being in spaced apart generally parallel relationship, and each supporting a respective first and second non-absorbent flexible elongate blade each of which provides a wiping lo edge, the wiping edges lying in or substantially in a common plane, the support element being between the spaced apart blade holders and carrying the coupling, the coupling permitting of engagement with a handle, and permitting the handle in use to pivot universally relative to the support element.

Abstract: A cleaning chemical dispensing system includes: a liquid chemical additive having a predetermined viscosity; a mop bucket; a mop wringer provided on the bucket; a first indicator indicating a first volume of cleaning liquid in the bucket; and a reservoir for the additive, the reservoir positioned above the first indicator, and having a base, one or more upstanding walls continuously contiguous with and fully surrounding the base, an opening opposite the base for pouring the additive into the reservoir, a metering orifice in the base, and a second indicator indicating a second volume for the additive which corresponds to the first volume of the bucket so as to provide a required ratio of additive to cleaning liquid, the orifice being dimensioned to correspond to the predetermined viscosity of the additive, so that the additive can be poured into the reservoir before any significant amount of additive passes through the orifice.

Abstract: A mop wringer comprises a basket having an opening for accepting a mophead having mop material to be wrung, and a lever-operated mechanically assisted pressing mechanism including a press member for pressing the mop material of the mophead into or against the basket, and an elongate lever for operating the press member. The lever is positioned in a plane which bisects or substantially bisects the opening of the basket. There is also provide a mop holding element specifically adapted for a centralised lever of a mop wringer as described above. The holding element comprises means for securing the holding element to the lever of the wringer, and a gripping portion for releasably gripping a mop handle attached to the mophead.

Abstract: A mophead comprises a holder having an attachment location for attaching flexible absorbent mop material to the holder, and an attachment member which is spaced from the mop material attachment location and which can directly engage a scrub element with the holder independently of the mop material. The attachment member is a, preferably elongate bar, clamp which, in use, presses the scrub element directly to the mophead to clamp it thereto.

Abstract: A mop wringer is provided in combination with an adaptor. The mop wringer comprises a base and one or more sides which are formed as a one-piece moulding and which define an unadapted channel in which a stranded mop head can be wrung out. The mop wringer also has one or more openings in the base and/or the side(s) through which fluid can drain. The adaptor is releasably insertable into the wringer to define either alone or together with the wringer an adapted channel which is of smaller cross-sectional dimensions than the unadapted channel and in which a head of a flat mop can be wrung out.

Abstract: A mophead comprises a holder, flexible absorbent mop material held by the holder, and a cleaning implement. The cleaning implement is independent of the mop material and is permanently attached, or disengageably attachable, to the holder at a position adjacent to the outside of the mop material.

Abstract: The cleaning equipment comprises a container, typically a bucket [1], a wringer [2] mounted on or in the container and a partition element [3] dividing the container into a first compartment [4] which, in use, receives liquid wrung out in the wringer and a second compartment [5] which, in use, receives cleaning liquid. A dirt receiving element [6] is provided for receiving dirt settling from the cleaning liquid in use contained in the second compartment. The dirt receiving element may be located below an apertured part of the partition element which defines the base of the second compartment. Preferably, the first and second compartments communicate with one another via the dirt receiving element.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for detecting the presence of a ribosome inactivating protein in a sample. The method comprises contacting a sample suspected of containing a ribosome inactivating protein with a 2?-O-methylated oligonucleotide substrate having a GAxGA tetraloop wherein “Ax” is a deoxyribonucleoside comprising a fluorescent adenine derivative or analog base capable of emitting a fluorescence when released from the nucleoside, “Ax”, and detecting the presence of the fluorescent adenine derivative or analog base released from the tetraloop as an indication of the presence of the ribosome inactivating protein in the sample. The present invention is also directed to an assay kit and a reagent useful for carrying out the steps of the above method.

Abstract: A multistationed integrated life safety system in which each station will be situated at a diffferent location and have complete capabilities in terms of local fire protection, fire detection, control and/or monitoring and controlling the security of an area. Each station communicates with four adjacent stations so that when an event occurs at one station, that station is programmed to cause that information or that new status to be transmitted to each of the four adjacent stations. Thus, each station will be interconnected or networked to four other stations to provide multiple location control and annunciation so that each station may act independently.

Abstract: A device employing audio and visual aids for the teaching of reading, arithmetic and the like. The device is to be used with cards having printed indicia and a magnetic strip. The device includes a housing having a microphone, a speaker and a chassis positioned therein. A card path extends across the housing and the chassis. Located on the chassis is a magnetic recording and reproducing head assembly capable of recording and reproducing that which has been recorded on two tracks on the magnetic strip. Separate drive systems are employed for forward and reverse and are also mounted on the chassis. A selector plate is pivotally mounted on the chassis and includes certain rollers associated with both the forward and reverse drive systems such that the selector plate may be pivoted to disengage the forward drive system and simultaneously engage the reverse drive system to return a card to its starting position.
