Abstract: A system for the measurement of field properties includes a quantum system, a processor, and a memory. The quantum system includes a plurality of quantum sensors coupled to a field. Each sensor of the plurality of quantum sensors is located at a position in the field. The position depends on parameters. Each sensor of the plurality of quantum sensors is entangled. The memory includes instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, cause the quantum system to: access a signal of the quantum system; sense a plurality of interdependent a local field amplitudes corresponding to the plurality of quantum sensors by locally probing the field by each sensor of the plurality of quantum sensors; estimate a function of the parameters at a position x0, where x0 is a position without a quantum sensor of the plurality of quantum sensors; and estimate an amplitude of the field at the position x0 based on the estimated function of the parameters.

Abstract: A household laundry appliance is provided for washing and drying individual pieces of laundry. The appliance includes a bin for holding laundry, wash and dry stations, and a robotic feeder mechanism to automatically convey laundry from the bin to the processing stations. The wash stations include a spray station for spraying the garments with a cleaning solution, and an ultrasonic station for applying ultrasonic vibrations to the garments. Rinse and extraction stations are provided upstream from the drying station to rinse the garments and then extract water from the garments. The garments are continuously transported through the appliance by a series of mesh conveyor belts between which the garments are sandwiched. The drying station includes fans for blowing heated air past the clothing to drive moisture out of the clothing. The temperature and velocity of the air may be adjusted to accommodate different garment materials and dampness.
