Abstract: A method of modulating a dynamic range of a plurality of picture elements each containing image information. The method comprises: (a) inputting the plurality of picture elements and extracting, from the image information of a picture element of the plurality of picture elements an intensity level being in a first dynamic range; and (b) for the picture element: (i) defining a surrounding region of picture elements and a remote region of picture elements; (ii) selecting at least one adaptation weight-function; and (iii) using the at least one adaptation weight-function and intensity levels of each picture element of the surrounding and the remote regions, for assigning a new intensity level to the picture element, the new intensity level being in a second dynamic range, thereby modulating the dynamic range of the plurality of picture elements.

Abstract: The mop or floor cleaner (10) is used with a bucket with an electric spin drier for the mop head (13). The mop has a flat rectangular washing body (14) with a planar undersurface (15) coming into contact with the floor and picking up dirt. The flat rectangular washing body is attached to the underside of a flat rectangular head. The handle (11) fits into a socket (12) which is attached at angle on one long side of the head.  The bucket incorporates a foot switch on the rear wall, adjacent to a visual display with LED's.

Abstract: An apparatus converts rotary motion of a motor drive shaft into oscillatory motion of a work piece, for example, in a power tool. The apparatus comprises a planetary gear assembly connected to the motor for rotating an output gear. The output gear meshes with a drive gear including a drive pin. The drive pin fits in a yoke slot for reciprocation of the yoke upon rotation of the drive gear. The yoke is operatively connected to the work piece. An air flow system cools the power tool housing. The housing has an inlet aperture in the handle portion and an outlet aperture for placing the interior of the housing in communication with the atmosphere. A wall integral with the handle portion engages the body of the motor housing between a first end and openings in the body. The wall provides a barrier to minimize air flow between an intake air portion of the interior of the housing and an exhaust air portion. A fan on the motor drive shaft induces air flow from the intake air portion and exhaust air portion of the interior chamber into the motor housing through openings in the end walls. Air is discharged from the openings in the body.
