Abstract: A quality management platform for home devices is implemented on a computer system and comprises a knowledge repository and a query engine. The knowledge repository includes a knowledge graph of nodes connected by edges. The nodes represent concepts relating to home devices and their operation and faults, and the edges represent relations between the concepts. The query engine receives requests relating to home devices, queries the knowledge graph based on the requests, and returns responses based on the query results.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner having a base with a first air inlet, a rear housing, a removable handle and a socket on the housing to receive the handle. The handle has a grip, a second air inlet, and a hose connected to the second air inlet. The vacuum has a valve with a first inlet connected to the first air inlet, a second inlet connected to the flexible hose, a valve outlet connected to a vacuum fan, and a valve member that moves to connect the valve outlet to either inlet. The vacuum has a handle latch having one position in which it engages the removable handle to hold it in the socket and places the valve in one position, and a second position in which it releases the handle and places the valve member the other position.

Abstract: A mop having a base plate, a handle, a joint connecting the plate to the handle, a first grip at the end of the handle, a scrubbing mechanism in the base, and a cleaning pad attached to the bottom of the base. The scrubbing mechanism includes a scrub bar, and is movable between an inactive position in which the bar is flush with or above the lower surface of the plate, and an active position in which the bar extends through an opening through the plate to be at least partially below the lower surface of the plate. The cleaning pad moves from being flat on the lower surface of the plate when the scrubbing mechanism is in the inactive position, and a second configuration in which at least a portion of the cleaning pad protrudes downwards from the lower surface when the scrubbing mechanism is in the active position.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner that can quickly be configured in various operating modes, including a standard-style upright vacuum, upright vacuum capable of cleaning under furniture, stick vacuum, handheld vacuum, and pod vacuum. An example embodiment is a surface cleaning apparatus that includes an elongated support member, a handle coupled to an upper end of the elongated support member, a vacuum module slidably and detachably coupled to the elongated support member, and a hose coupled to the vacuum module and expandable to accommodate lower and upper positions of the vacuum module along the elongated support member. The surface cleaning apparatus can further include a floor nozzle detachably coupled to a lower end of the elongated support member and the hose.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner having a handle, a dirt separator and suction motor on the handle, and a nozzle. An elongated suction inlet passes through the bottom face of the nozzle, and a pivot joins the nozzle to the handle at a pivot axis that extends parallel to the elongated suction inlet. The pivot includes first and second pivot connections joining the base to either side of the handle. A base air passage extends from the suction inlet to the first pivot connection, and is fluidly connected, through the first pivot connection, to a first handle air passage located in the handle and extending from the first pivot connection to an inlet of the separator. A second handle air passage located in the handle extends from the separator outlet to the suction motor inlet.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner suction head having a housing with a support for movement in the fore-aft direction on a surface. A suction inlet extends through the housing, and has a front edge and a rear edge. A sealing plate is pivotally mounted on the bottom of the housing to rotate about a pivot axis extending in a transverse direction. The sealing plate is movable between a raised position and a lowered position. The sealing plate is mounted in a trailing configuration in which, when the sealing plate is in the lowered position, the pivot axis is at the front of the sealing plate with respect to a fore-aft direction, and a lowermost point on the lower surface of the sealing plate is located behind the pivot axis with respect to the fore-aft direction.
