  • Patent number: RE35033
    Abstract: This is an improvement for a powered floor scrubber which in use is moved forward and backward across a floor to be scrubbed. A scrub brush is rotated within a housing which is open at the bottom and water is supplied within the housing. The improvement consists of attaching double lipped suction squeegees at both the front and rear of the housing and connecting them both to a source of vacuum to suck up soiled water from the floor. The flexible squeegee lips are mounted in such a way that as the machine is moved forward the lips of the front squeegee fold together and shut off the airflow to it while the rear squeegee remains functional. When the machine is moved backward a reverse action of the squeegees occurs, so that there is always a functional squeegee sucking up soiled water behind the scrub brush while airflow to the opposite squeegee is shut off whether the machine is moving forward or backward.

  • Patent number: RE35036
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a field effect transistor, wherein impurity diffusion layers of source and drain are formed by an ion implantation method using the gate electrode as the mask by inclining the semiconductor substrate with respect to the ion beam incident direction so as to prevent the channeling effect and also rotating it in planarity with respect to the ion beam scanning plane. As a result, impurity diffusion layers can be formed symmetrically with respect to the gate electrode.

  • Patent number: 5448782
    Abstract: A foot actuated toilet seat lifting device having an adjustable width toilet seat attachment bracket, a telescoping lifting arm assembly, an actuator lever, a fluid pressure cylinder, and a base assembly. The rear end of the fluid pressure cylinder is pivotally secured to the base assembly and the front end of its piston rod is pivotally secured to the actuator lever intermediate its front and rear ends. The actuator lever is secured to a transversely extending axle mounted in the base assembly. A foot pedal assembly is mounted on the front end of the actuator level. When the foot pedal is depressed, the actuator level pivots around its axle and lifts the telescoping lifting arm assembly tube upwardly. This causes the toilet seat attachment bracket secured to its upper end to lift the toilet seat through a predetermined upward angle. The fluid pressure cylinder allows the toilet seat to be automatically slowly lowered to its horizontal position upon release of pressure on the foot pedal assembly.
