International Classification:

G08B 21/18

US Classification:

3406861, 24822021, 49358, 49506, 16 72, 381150

Abstract:

A door control apparatus and methods for controlling a door motion device for a hinged door and, optionally, illuminating a designated area on the floor. During the time the designated area is illuminated, a person can expect that the door will not close. The door control apparatus may include control circuitry, and a sensor, and optionally a light emitter and/or a sound emitter. The sensor detects a person proximate to the door and signals the control circuitry upon a detection event. The light emitter is also connected to the control circuitry. Upon a detection event, the control circuitry signals the light emitter to produce light and signals the door motion device to hold the door open. The light emitter directs light to form an image on the floor in the designated area. The light emitter may be, for example, a laser generator or a light emitting diode lamp.

Michael H. WEBB - Concord NC, US

International Classification:

A47L 13/22
A47L 13/256

Abstract:

Embodiments include spray mops with fluid reservoirs and integrated locking mechanisms. The locking mechanism selectively locks a base of the spray mop to its handle when the handle is substantially vertical to the base, to prevent the base from pivoting relative to the handle. When so engaged, the spray mop can stand vertically on its base without requiring external support. Some embodiments include a detachable spray nozzle for separate application of cleaning solution contained within the fluid reservoir. Some further embodiments include a deployable kickstand. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract:

Embodiments are disclosed for facilitating Internet-based communication between educators and parents. In the context of a method, an example embodiment includes populating a database with one or more communications associated with one or more students and categorized within one or more alert categories, and one or more action plans associated with one or more parents and at least one of the one or more alert categories. The method includes detecting occurrence of a triggering event corresponding to a particular communication in the database, and identifying one or more parents impacted by the particular communication. The method thereafter includes retrieving one or more action plans for the one or more parents impacted by the particular communication, and causing transmission of one or more notification messages based on the retrieved one or more action plans. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.
