Abstract: An apparatus includes a body, a first tank and a second tank. The body includes a front side, a back side, a top side and a bottom side. The body also includes a first fluid output, a first air passage, a second air passage, and a third air passage. A nozzle is removably attached to the front side of the body. The nozzle includes a fourth air passage proximate the bottom side of the body and a fifth air passage proximate the top side of the body. The fifth air passage is communicatively coupled with the fourth air passage. The nozzle is attached to the body such that the first air passage and the fifth air passage are substantially aligned. The apparatus also includes a handle coupled with the body, a vacuum motor, a fluid pump and a controller configured to activate the fluid pump and/or the vacuum motor.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a handle having a handle fluid input, a handle fluid output, a first handle electrical contact, a second handle electrical contact, a first handle air passage, and a second handle air passage. The apparatus also includes a shaft having a shaft fluid input, a shaft fluid output, a first shaft electrical contact, a second shaft electrical contact, a first shaft air passage, a second shaft air passage, and a first shaft coupling including the shaft fluid input, the first shaft electrical contact and the first shaft air passage. The first shaft coupling is configured to mate with the handle to connect the shaft fluid input with the handle fluid output, connect the first shaft electrical contact with the second handle electrical contact with the second handle electrical contact, and connect the first shaft air passage with the second handle air passage.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a body, a first tank, a second tank, a vacuum motor, a fluid pump, and a controller. The body comprises a handle and an accessory connection receptacle comprising a fluid output and an electrical contact. The first tank comprises a first vessel configured to accommodate a fluid. The second tank comprises a second vessel separated from the first vessel. The controller is configured to activate the fluid pump to cause fluid contained in the first tank to be supplied to the fluid output, and to activate the vacuum motor to draw one or more of air, debris, a liquid or a portion of the fluid into the second tank. The accessory connection receptacle is configured to accommodate a correspondingly shaped accessory connector configured to mate with the accessory connection receptacle and be communicatively coupled with the fluid output and with the electrical contact.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a body, a first tank and a second tank. The body includes a first fluid coupling and a first air passage. The first tank includes a first vessel configured to accommodate a fluid and a second fluid coupling communicatively coupled with the first fluid coupling. The second tank includes a second vessel separated from the first vessel and a second air passage communicatively coupled with the first air passage. The apparatus also includes a tank base over the body. The tank base includes a first tank seat configured to accommodate the first tank and a second tank seat configured to accommodate the second tank. The tank base is configured to be separated from the body with at least one of the first tank in the first tank seat or the second tank in the second tank seat.

Abstract: A refill indication system includes a panel having a first side, a second side and a perimeter edge. Each of the first and second sides is planar. A support is attached to the first side adjacent to the perimeter edge and spaces the first side from a surface when the first side faces the surface and the support abuts the surface. A light emitter is mounted in the panel. A switch is electrically coupled to the light emitter. The switch is mounted on the first side and is spaced from the perimeter edge. The light emitter is turned on when the switch is actuated. The switch is actuated to an on position when an object is placed on the switch and actuated to an off position when first side is free of supporting the object.

Abstract: A linear cable laying engine has a pair of endless belts (12,14) having a substantial length (16,18) in respective face to face opposition, and means for applying force to the belts to cause them to grip a cable (42) between the opposed faces.
