Abstract: A vacuum grooming tool is disclosed. The tool includes a vacuum nozzle that is attachable to a vacuum source and has a hollow body with a mouth opening and a grooming device spanning the mouth opening. The grooming device can be a variety of standard animal grooming hand tools, such as a shedding blade, comb, rake, brush and dematting tool. The grooming device is positioned relative to the mouth opening such that the air flow created by the vacuum source flows over both sides of the grooming device for more efficient hair removal. A vacuum cleaning tool for removing any animal hair stuck to a grooming tool is also disclosed. The cleaning tool has a vacuum plenum that can be attached to a vacuum source and has an opening wide enough to enable the user to clean the grooming tool in one pass. The cleaning tool can be mounted on a stationary support so that the user can accomplish the cleaning action without having to hold the cleaner by hand. The cleaning tool can also include a pivot-action mechanism that alternately connects the vacuum grooming tool and the cleaning tool to a vacuum source, thereby allowing sharing of the vacuum source and prevent suction in both tools when the grooming tool is being cleaned.

Abstract: An object detector for a vehicle transmits a beam of electromagnetic waves forward to scan a target area, receives reflected waves from an object in front, and detects the object from received signals. Received signals are cumulatively added up for each of areas into which the target area is divided. Noise is removed from obtained data by time series filtering. If the value of a peak in data is less than that of the corresponding peak obtained in the previous scan by more than a specified value, such data are considered as an after image and not detected as an object.

Abstract: A variable thermal resistance system having a hermetically sealed enclosure around a component. There may be a gap or space between the internal surface of the enclosure and the external surface of the component. A gas, such as a gas from a low vapor pressure solid placed on the internal surface of the enclosure or liquid on a porous internal surface of the enclosure, may fill the space or gap. The gas may have low thermal conduction at low temperatures and high thermal conduction at high temperatures. This may reduce an amount of energy required by a constant temperature maintaining mechanism for the component. At low temperatures less heat is conducted from the component and at high temperatures more heat is conducted from the component so as to reduce the heating and cooling requirements of the temperature maintaining mechanism.
