Abstract: This invention relates to the field of mopping of floors, and concerns in particular a mop bucket for use in the mopping process. According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a bucket for use in mopping of floors, which bucket is provided with a generally upstanding divider which partitions the bucket into first and second liquid-reservoir regions, wherein the divider is removably disposed in the bucket. In this way the bucket may be used with or without divider, thereby increasing versatility. According to yet another aspect of the invention there is provided a bucket for use in mopping of floors, which bucket is provided with a generally upstanding divider which partitions the bucket into first and second liquid-reservoir regions, wherein the divider comprises a plate which deviates from a planar form by projecting toward one reservoir region and correspondingly away from the other. The divider may comprise a plate which bulges toward one reservoir region. In a preferred arrangement, a portion of the divider is bowed to have the form of a frusto-dome. An upper edge region of the divider may have a generally curved profile. The curved profile may extend through the divider. The chord of the curve may decrease down toward a lower end region of the divider.

Abstract: Chemical stripping is realised on chromium plated polymeric (ABS, for instance) or passivatable metallic (e.g. Al,Ti) substrates. The components of the plating are copper, nickel and chromium. Stripping is performed with an inorganic acid (preferably sulphuric) and hydrogen peroxide composition, and involves the oxidation and dissolution of copper and nickel, but not of chromium. Chromium is recovered as fine little metallic sheets whereas copper and nickel are recovered from the solution by chemical and/or electrochemical methods. The invention allows the complete reutilization of polymeric and metallic substrates, as required by actual laws, and the recovery of the plating components, avoiding the contamination of the environment.

Abstract: An accumulating whistling vent for indicating a level of liquid in a tank having a vent line is disclosed. The whistling vent includes a whistle housing reservoir which has mounting tubes extending from either ends. A whistle is housed in the whistle housing reservoir by insertion into one of the mounting tubes. The whistling vent is coupled between the vent line of the tank such that the tube containing the whistle is closest to the tank. As liquid is introduced into the tank an audible signal is produced by the whistle. Once full, air flowing from the tank through the vent line is replaced by the incoming liquid, thus muting the whistle. Excess liquid is accumulated in the reservoir prior to discharge from the vent line, thereby providing additional time to respond to the change in audible signal. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a transparent reservoir is used to provide a visual indicator in addition to the change in audible signal. In another preferred embodiment of the invention a fuel filter and brass key chain whistle are used to minimize manufacturing costs.

Abstract: An electrical plug-and-socket connector includes first and second connector parts which each have a chamber housing to respectively hold complementary first and second contacts. The second part includes a catch. A latching element is adjustably connected to the first part to be movable from a latching position to a tensioned position. When the parts are joined together along a first axial direction the parts have axial play with respect to one another to enable the latching element to latch behind the catch to prevent withdrawal of the parts from one another when the latching element is in the latching position. The latching element is tensioned to move in a second axial direction opposite to the first axial direction in order to eliminate the axial play between the parts while latching the parts together when the latching element is in the tensioned position.

Abstract: The distribution of traffic flows in a load-sharing redundancy group that includes a first gateway device and a second gateway device includes assigning a first set of forwarding addresses to the first gateway device and a second set of forwarding addresses to the second gateway device. The redundancy group distributes forwarding addresses to hosts which in turn use the distributed forwarding addresses to send packets to the redundancy group. The traffic flow for each of the assigned forwarding addresses is measured and may be compared to a target traffic flow. The traffic flow is adjusted to close in on the target traffic flow. Adjustment of the traffic flow can be accomplished either by changing the existing measured traffic flow by re-assigning a forwarding address originally assigned to one gateway device to a different gateway device or by altering future distribution of forwarding addresses so that additional traffic is sent to one or more forwarding addresses having lower measured traffic. The gateway devices can be routers using virtual Media Access Control (MAC) addresses as forwarding addresses. The redundancy group may also be configured to provide failover services in the event that one of the gateway devices ceases operation.

Abstract: A synchronizing method and system between a Radio Frequency (RF) transmitter and a battery powered receiver wherein the transmitter transmits short duration first periodic sync signals which are used by the receiver to maintain proper synchronization of the receiver with the transmitter during second periodic wake-up windows for transmission of data. The receiver wakes for a short duration at the start of each periodic wake up window to receive a possible transmission of data, and if no transmission is received goes back to sleep, and if a transmission is received stays awake to receive the full transmission of data. The basic principle is that the average current consumed by the battery powered receiver in order to wake periodically to receive the first periodic sync signals and the second periodic data transmissions is less than the average current required to maintain the receiver awake continuously. The duration (e.g. 14 ms) and periodicity of (e.g. every 32 s) of the periodic signals are selected to meet a FCC regulation of 2 second/hour allowed for synchronization.
