  • Publication number: 20240074634
    Abstract: A system includes a trash can combined as a unit with a robotic vacuum docking station. The trash can has a lid that is opened to deposit or empty trash in the trash can and otherwise closed to contain the trash. The docking station includes an inlet for receiving a robotic vacuum. The system can include a vacuum motor for carrying vacuumed debris from the robotic vacuum to a bin. The bin can be a canister segregated from the trash can bin or can be the trash can bin itself. The docking station can charge the robotic vacuum.

  • Publication number: 20230303319
    Abstract: A system includes a vacuum canister combinable as a unit with a segregated trash bin. The vacuum canister is connected to a vacuum motor for drawing fines and particulates to the vacuum canister. The segregated trash bin retains refuse separate from the fines and particulates of the vacuum canister. The vacuum canister sealingly contains the fines and particulates from vacuuming. Debris larger than the vacuumed fines and particulates is depositable in the segregated trash bin separated from the fines and particulates.

  • Publication number: 20230277908
    Abstract: A system for boxing and exercise includes a base, a support connected to and extending vertically from the base, an extended cylindrical bag having a top, a bottom, and a mid-section, a concave zone of the mid-section of the bag, and a sensor connected to the bag. The sensor is communicatively connected to an application program (app) of a processing device for measure of strike count, strike power, strike angle and strike reaction time to the extended cylindrical bag. The concave zone simulates upper cuts, kidney punch, and other human opponent characteristics for strike.

  • Publication number: 20230249115
    Abstract: A system for environmental maintenance includes a vacuum unit, an air purifier unit, a controller communicatively connected to the vacuum unit and the air purifier unit, a sweep sensor communicatively connected to the controller, and a movement sensor communicatively connected to the controller. The sweep sensor detects debris and sweeper swept into a detectable vicinity of the sweep sensor and the controller turns on the vacuum unit upon detection by the sweep sensor. The controller turns on the air purifier unit upon the vacuum unit being turned on, and the air purifier unit cycles on for a period as programmed in the controller. The movement sensor detects movement in detectable vicinity of the movement sensor and the controller turns on the air purifier unit upon detection by the sweep sensor, if the air purifier is not already turned on.

  • Publication number: 20210137333
    Abstract: A system includes a housing, a handle connected to the housing, a vacuum connected to the housing, and replaceable bristles selectively connected to the housing. In non-exclusive examples, the system includes a carrier fixed with the bristles. The carrier is selectively connected to the housing for use of the system in sweeping and vacuuming and is selectively disconnected to the housing for replacement with a new carrier and bristles on wear of the prior bristles.

  • Patent number: 10531737
    Abstract: A zero gravity chaise chair includes a seat frame providing a head rest, a back, a bottom and a leg rest, a first bow member connected to one side of the seat frame, a second bow member connected to the other side of the seat frame, a first rolling guide connected to the first bow, a second rolling guide connected to the second bow, and a base connected to the first rolling guide and the second rolling guide. A motor may operate the first rolling guide to vary incline position of the seat frame. The motor may be algorithmically controlled to vary incline position of the seat frame such as to aid blood flow and minimize pressure points of a body positioned on the seat frame.
