20160092835 | ZONE CLEANING SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT - A restaurant cleaning mop includes a color label on the surface of the mop handle to identify the area of the restaurant in which the cleaning mop is to be utilized. The mop handle is detachable from a mop head and the handle bears the indicia. Moreover, since the indicia is provided on the detachable handle, the non-differentiated mop head can be easily replaced as needed and the mop handle remains in the designated area while the mop head is replaced. In another aspect, this invention is directed to an inventory management scheme in which a first detachable part of a cleaning tool, such as a mop handle, bears coded indicia to indicate a particular zone or area of a facility in which the tool is to be used. | 03-31-2016 |
20150015234 | CONTACT VOLTAGE DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - An electrical safety system and associated method may be used on an electrical enclosure containing phase to phase and phase to ground electricity. The system includes a volt meter having a probe and a receptacle having a number of ports adapted to receive the probe of the volt meter. The receptacle is mounted to a panel, cabinet or enclosure having at least one conducting wire therein. The method allows a worker to use a contact voltage detector to check for the presence or absence of voltage inside the closed electrical panel. | 01-15-2015 |
20140272278 | SLIP RESISTANT MAT AND METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MAKING SAME - A system and method for making a slip resistant mat can include assembling parts with predetermined geometries to form a mold that can be used for making slip resistant mats that have channels to account for moisture between the mat and the floor. The unique geometries of the parts which form the mold can be manufactured efficiently and with reduced costs. The mold of this invention can be used to make slip resistant mats with channels that can both dissipate water and offer a high degree of mat to floor surface contact. | 09-18-2014 |

20130091725 | METHOD OF USING A MOISTURE METER DURING A LAUNDERING PROCESS - A method of processing at least one garment involves a local environment with ambient moisture, a garment having a moisture content, a plurality of work stations, and a threshold amount of moisture. The plurality of work stations operate according to a plurality of parameters. The threshold amount of moisture is the amount of ambient moisture naturally absorbed by the garment. The method includes a processing step, a measuring step, a determining step and an adjusting step. The garment is processed through at least one of the work stations during the processing step. During the measuring step, the moisture content of the garment is measured. The relationship between the measured moisture content and the threshold amount of moisture is determined during the determining step. And, at least one parameter is adjusted based on the relationship between the measured moisture content and the threshold amount of moisture during the adjusting step. | 04-18-2013 |
