An exemplary sterilization system includes a self-propelled robotic mobile platform for locating and eradicating infectious bacterial and virus strains on floors (and objects thereon), walls, cabinets, angled structures, etc., using one or more ultraviolet light sources. A controller allows the system to adjust the quantity of ultraviolet light received by a surface by, for example, changing the intensity of energy input to a ultraviolet light source, changing a distance between a ultraviolet light source and a surface being irradiated, changing the speed / movement of the mobile platform to affect time of exposure, and / or by returning to contaminated areas for additional passes. The mobile platform may include a sensor capable of detecting fluorescence of biological contaminants irradiated with ultraviolet light to locate contaminated areas. The system is thus capable of “seek and destroy” functionality by navigating towards contaminated areas and irradiating those areas with ultraviolet light accordingly.

An animal trap having a jaw frame pivotally mounted to a base for pivotal movement between a cocked position and a sprung position. A spring means is provided for biasing the jaw frame towards the sprung position. A gear system is mounted proximate one side of the base that has a drive gear and a driven gear that are cooperatively engaged with each other. The driven gear is releasably engaged to the jaw frame when the jaw frame is in the sprung position. A lever means or electric motor is provided for the selective engagement with the drive gear.When the lever or electric motor is selectively engaged to the drive gear and is rotated, the drive gear is rotated causing the driven gear to rotate to thereby pivot the jaw frame to the cocked position. After the animal is trapped, the lever or drive gear is selectively engaged with the drive gear. This permits the jaw frame to be pivotally moved to the cocked position while simultaneously releasing the animal from the trap. An enclosure is provided for enclosing the trigger member and the catch means. The enclosure has an opening to the interior of the trap that is proximate the trigger member to permit the animal to enter the enclosure and step on the trigger member to spring the jaw frame. The trap has a bait container mounted to the exterior of the enclosure that the animal cannot get to but can clearly smell from the interior of the enclosure. Optionally, the trap includes a liner that coacts therewith and has a bait container.

A swing training and fitness aid comprising a handle having an extended portion of rotational configuration engaged with a rotating means having flexibly affixed thereto a weight, the weight capable of being rotated along the extended portion in two directions by rotating said handle portion, thereby strengthening the wrists, forearms and shoulders of the user, along with exercising the abdominal muscles and the large muscle groups of the legs.

A storage vessel for storing a fluid substance, said storage vessel including a plurality of abutting individually sealed storage chambers, each chamber capable of withstanding super atmospheric pressure, with adjacent chambers forming at least one fluid passageway therebetween, characterised in that at least one said chamber includes an external peripheral seal configured to be relatively weaker than the remainder of said vessel.

The present invention provides an improved pressure washer / surface cleaner with three wheels, one of which swivels and has a locking mechanism, that is easy to maneuver over many types of surfaces with less vibration from the motor, with little dangerous, damaging over spray and with a removable handle.

Drum intermediate transfer member or fuser apparatus, for use in a printer or copier, comprising: a drum having a drum surface and including a liquid-containing region in the interior of the drum thermally connected to the drum surface, such that the liquid is capable of heating and cooling the drum surface; and a liquid transfer system including a hot liquid reservoir, a cold liquid reservoir, at least one pump, pipes and optionally at least one valve arranged to selectively pump liquid between the liquid-containing region and the hot liquid reservoir, and between the liquid-containing region and the cold liquid reservoir.
