Abstract: An electric vacuum cleaner includes an inlet port
through which a suctioned air stream including dirt
particles pass and a centrifugal separation member having a
substantially circular space therein. The centrifugal
separation member has a swirl portion to swirl the dust-laden
suction air stream along an inner surface of the
centrifugal separation member. By forming swirl passageway
between the swirl portion and the inner surface of the
centrifugal separation member, the high velocity swirling
air stream can be made and consequently an efficiency of
separating the dirt particles from the suction air and
collecting the dirt particles can be improved.

Abstract: A software licensing Application Programming Interface (API) that allows software
products to use the license management functionality of a common service. A license specifies
rights in a software product. The software product calls a consume method on the API in order to
consume a right. If the right exists, the service binds the right to the license in which the right is
found. The software product enforces the terms of the license by granting, or denying, access to
some or all features depending on whether a valid instance of the right is found. Arbitrary data can
be associated with a right. The API includes a method to retrieve data from a right that has been
previously bound by the consume method.

Abstract: Described is a mechanism for exposing a volume shadow copy of a
shared volume over a network to a remote client. A shared volume is accessed at a
client computing system having a root directory. A volume shadow copy (or "snapshot") of
the volume is identified as a child resource of the shared volume. The child resource
representing the snapshot may be hidden from ordinary view by default. To access
the snapshot, a user may access the child resource as if it was an ordinary file or
directory on the shared volume. Advantageously, the user need not mount a new
volume representing the snapshot volume, but rather the user may directly access the
snapshot.

Abstract: A method of reducing counter-phase vibrations of a plurality of motors supplied in
parallel by a common power supply is disclosed. The method comprises monitoring the
system for the presence of one or more factors indicative of the onset of counter-phase
vibration and on detection of the presence of such factors, reducing the motor flux of the
plurality of motors. By reducing the motor flux, the feedback gain of one mechanical
system to the other is reduced and there is greater stability even at low stator frequencies.
The factors which may be used to indicate the possibility of such vibrations include low
motor temperature, low frequency, low torque and low mechanical damping.
