Publication number: 20250072700Abstract: In an embodiment, a cleaning apparatus is disclosed. The cleaning apparatus includes a handle, and a first and a second support member. Each of the first and the second support member may define a proximal end and a distal end, and may be coupled with the handle, via a connector. The connector may be rotatably coupled with the handle and configured to rotate relative to the handle. Each of first and the second support member may be rotatably coupled with the connector via respective proximal ends, and rotate about a respective axis. As a result, a distance between the distal ends of the first and the second support member is variable. The cleaning apparatus may further include a cleaning plate configured to be attached to each of first and the second support member, via the distal ends of the first and the second support member.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2024Publication date: March 6, 2025Applicant: OHK DESIGN, LLCInventors: Omar Habib Khan, Dorian A.

Publication number: 20250072703Abstract: An automated cleaning machine includes a trained cleaning outcome classifier that automatically classifies or scores cleaning outcomes for a cleaning machine using machine learning techniques. The cleaning outcome classifier may be trained on training data comprising a plurality of training inputs and a known output for each of the plurality of training inputs. Each of the plurality of training inputs may include one or more cleaning process parameters corresponding to a cleaning process executed by a cleaning machine executed during a training phase. The known output for each training input may include a cleaning outcome classification or score. The cleaning outcome of a novel cleaning process may then be classified or scored with the trained cleaning outcome classifier based on one or more cleaning process parameters corresponding to the novel cleaning process.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2024Publication date: March 6, 2025Inventor: Alissa R. Ellingson
