A method of controlling a robotic floor cleaning machine includes driving, by an operator, the robotic floor cleaning machine along a transport path and a cleaning path. The transport path defines a path for transport of the robotic floor cleaning machine without active cleaning and the cleaning path defines a path for a cleaning operation. The method further includes recording the transport path and the cleaning path driven by the operator; defining, in a controller of the robotic floor cleaning machine, a route comprising the recorded transport path and the recorded cleaning path, and defining the cleaning operation. The robotic floor cleaning machine executes the defined route and the cleaning operation.

A random orbit scrubber comprises a main body having a front end and a rear end, a squeegee assembly coupled to the rear end of the main body, and a cleaning head assembly coupled to the front end of the main body. The cleaning head assembly can include a cleaning element structured for contact with a floor surface. The cleaning head assembly can further include a motor that is operable to impart rotational and orbital movement on the cleaning element. The cleaning head assembly can also include one or more arcuate cleaning fluid manifolds each having a plurality of dispensing points to distribute cleaning fluid in one or more locations on top of and in front of the cleaning element. The arcuate cleaning fluid manifolds can include variable flow nozzles and can be mounted to a carriage that rotates about the cleaning head assembly.

A method for collecting garbage from a surface includes providing a motor-sweeper including a sweep broom. A rear guide is provided between the sweep broom and the collecting container extending downwards from the collecting container close to the sweep broom. The sweep broom rests with the guide assembly onto the surface, and the sweep broom is rotated in order to collect and convey the garbage into the collecting container. The rotation of the sweep broom causes the garbage to be swept forwardly and upwardly with respect to the forward motion of the motor-sweeper. In response to the bristles of the sweep broom wearing, the sweep broom is moved toward the surface and the guide assembly and the rear guide are moved towards the sweep broom so as to maintain uniform spaces between the sweep broom and the guide assembly, and the sweep broom and the rear guide.

A lightweight, foldable cover adapted for attachment to a portable electric generator permits the generator to be operated while covered and shielded from weather. The cover includes rigid or semi-rigid sides hingeably joined and held in position with flexible straps. The cover allows unimpeded exhaust and airflow underneath the cover, and unimpeded access to controls and outlets. The flexible straps attach to the cover and the frame of the generator. The straps are adjustable to accommodate different generator frame sizes, and include quick release devices to allow rapid attachment to, or detachment from the generator frame for refueling or storage. When removed the cover folds nearly flat for storage.

A semen extender composition is provided. The semen extender composition includes a sperm cell protecting amount of phospholipid, an effective amount of surfactant to reduce ice crystal formation during freezing of the composition; a carbohydrate, and a biological buffer to provide a semen extender use solution having a pH of between about 6.9 and about 7.5, and wherein the use solution exhibits an osmolality of about 250 mOsM to about 350 mOsM. Methods for manufacturing and using a semen extender composition are provided.

A hitting practice apparatus consists of a stand which supports a telescoping tower of adjustable height. The tower in turn supports a horizontal support arm, upon which a oval-shaped rotation element is pivotally mounted. A ball suspension cable is connected at one of its ends to the rotation element, and at its other end to a ball element having an internal passage through which the cable may be clearingly received. An elongate plug element is implanted within the ball element. An enlarged cable stop element, to which the lower end of the ball suspension cable is secured, is positioned within an internal chamber with the implanted plug element.

An adaptive architecture for video effects allows a transformed image from a digital video effects (DVE) system to be inserted at any desired point along a video path through a production switcher while maintaining strict timing reqirements between the digital video effects system and the production switcher. The transformed image from the DVE system is input to a primary input bus as well as to a fill video input of a dowstream keyer (DSK) for the production switcher. A key signal from the DVE system is input to an effects key input and a key input of the DSK for the production switcher. The DVE system has a genlock timing system that provides a variable output timing signal to synchronize the transformed image with the video of the production system at the desired point of insertion along the video path. The DVE system also has an output overlay mixer that passes the program video from the production switcher to the system output unless the insertion point is at the output of the production switcher, at which point the transformed video is overlaid on the program output. The desired insertion point is determined by a topology mode indicator included within the keyframes that are programmed to produce a desired video effect.
