What's the easiet way to clean bare floors (dry)?
October 10th, 2010We have 18 inch floor stones with thin grout lines. Currently we use a 24" commercial type microfiber dust mop. It gathers the dust, dirt, sand, crumbs, and hair very fast but doesn’t pick it up. For that we shake it out and use an upright dustbin and broom. This second step adds trouble we’re looking to shortcut. We’re considering a vacuum: a high end cannister type, or a cordless stick. Cords and hoses seem like they would add trouble, but battery powered sticks would probably be slower than the dust mop. Any ideas?
We’re not looking for wet/damp mops, floor polishing, floor machine, or other time consuming wet cleaning methods. We use a wet flat mop when needed. What we need is to do the three-times a day sweep faster. Thanks.
Better solution for phone extension cord tangle?
October 6th, 2010Tried a cordless but house mates prefer the better reception of corded phone. I also ordered a retractable reel only to find it was a wind up one, which, lazy people we are, isn’t used. Do they make an auto retractble like a vacuum cleaner?
Patents on cordless power tools and accessories?
October 6th, 2010For combo cordless power tool sets, there are many accessories the manufacturer promotes – the drill, circular saw, reciprocating saw, small vacuum, light, radio, etc.
If someone comes up with another tool that can be used, using the same batteries of a combo pack, can a patent be obtained for that idea?
Hypothetically speaking, lets say the radio for use in combination, with a specific brand power tool set has not been done before. Obviously, the radio is not new, nor is a battery powered radio. The idea of designing a radio to be powered by the same batteries used for the other accessories may be new and be allowed patent protection.
I have been doing some patent searching, but I’m having difficulty in narrowing the search down.
Any suggests on finding the patents on these manufacturers as it might relate to my situation?
Does it seem possible to get a patent like this, and how would I specify the claims?
How would I approach manufactures after filing?
Thanks.
I would hope to sell or license the idea to a power tool manufacturer like DeWalt or Ryobi. I wouldn’t expect to manufacture and sell this tool to be used with the battery packs of a different company.
I think the idea I would want to claim in the patent is, the combination of a specific device that is powered by the batteries of a tool kit. The tool kit comprising the various tools, the battery and charging unit.
Example – Let’s say the radio hasn’t been used in combination with a power tool kit. Could DeWalt have patented the combination of the two. This would be a benefit to DeWalt because their competition wouldn’t be able to offer that feature and thus customers might be more inclined to buy the DeWalt kit. This would result in more sales of the other DeWalt power tools to go with the batteries of that kit.
what is the best vacuum for dog fur?
October 5th, 2010My dogs shed everywhere and i want a vacuum that can clean all the fur. I have the regular vacuums but the fur doesn’t get sucked up by the vacuum. Is there a specific kind of vacuum that would help do the job? Can you provide me the link to where i can buy this? Can you give me some options such as cord and cordless.
which is more powerful for suction, 2 amps motor or 15.6 volts motor for vacuum?
October 3rd, 2010so I am thinking buying vacuum for hardwood floor, there is eureka 2 amps motor vacuum with cord easy clean 2 vs the dirt devil cordless 15.6 volts accu charge vacuum, I don’t care about cord or cordless I just care about power, which is more powerful for suction?
What is this type of vacuum called?
October 2nd, 2010Im trying to find this on google for prices.
Im looking for one of those small vacuums that they use on restaurant carpets during business hours.
They’re usually for small spaces.
they’re small, bagless, cordless, and dont have power.
You just roll it silently on the floor and it catches most of the things a vacuum would.
I want to find it but i dont know what it’s called or what to search on google.
Thank you all.

Shark Cordless Vacuum Problem?
September 27th, 2010I have a shark cordless vacuum and it works great when its working however recently the brushes stop spinning less than a minute after I start vacuuming. The battery is charged, the spinning part is cleaned of debris and the dust chamber is empty but it repeatedly does this. When I turn it off and back on, it won’t start spinning until I let it rest for a while. It still makes noise like it is working but without the brushes spinning it doesn’t pick up anything. Help please? Best answer will receive points, joke answers or products will be reported

Cordless Stick vacuum?
April 10th, 2010I’m looking for a cordless stick vacuum to use on hardwood & tile floors. I have a dog that sheds so I need to vacuum daily. I do have an area rug so if u know one that’ll work for that too that’d be a plus but I know stick vacuums aren’t usually for that. What are some good cordless ones for less than -?
I currently have a Eureka 4-in-1 but I want cordless.
If you know of one that can be used with a cordl and be cordless that’d be nice but if not then just a cordless one
For people who use fleece instead of shavings and carefresh…I have a chinchilla-also does he pee 2 much?
March 24th, 2010I just switched about a week ago to fleece on the bottom of my chinchillas cage instead of shavings. Carefresh scares me because if they ingest it, it can cause blockage and be fatal, so I WILL NOT use that so don’t suggest switching to it. I like the fleece a lot and have 6 peices so I’m not washing one at a time-instead 4 at a time because I’m trying to be a big enegy/water saver:) I’ve found that if I don’t change it every other day, he starts peeing on his wood shelf instead of where he normally goes pee (I use 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water to wipe it up but it still soaks in:P)-his poops everywhere of course but I know thats normal:P How often do you change it though? He has a 24Lx24Wx36H inch cage, so I cut the peices to be about 30 inches to cover the sides to a bit, but that’s not a small area (24"X 24" bottom). I will be adding on too soon so don’t need those comments. I’m just curious how often you have to change your chin’s fleece though-it isn’t soaked when I change his or even wet, but it is a little damp in 3 of the corners (not enough to be a danger to his fur)-is he peeing too much though or should I be changing it everyday? He doesn’t drink a lot-I think enough-and his poop isn’t wet. Its easy enough to change so I may start doing it everyday anyway and I just bought a dust buster to clean up his poop off his wood shelves-it doesn’t scare him, its cordless (dirt devil one from Walmart for about ), and its sooo much easier than a big vacuum-I’m in love with the dust buster, lol:) You should get one-seriously!!!
Just curious on how often you change your chins fleece though (or any animal) and if you think he may be peeing too much, though that’s a hard question for you to answer, but answering the other question should give me a good idea of that. Thank you:) I know I’m a rambler-sorry-but any advice, help, or stories about the fleece you use for your animals would be greatly appreciated:)
Not N&B but figure moms would know?
March 14th, 2010Any advice on a handheld vacuum preferably cordless under ? I have been looking through Amazon and am quite frankly overwhelmed with all the reviews. Just when I think I have found one I like I find a bad review on it that I consider to be incompatible with my needs.
So any advice?
Thanks in advance!
NB&B question…
What are your little ones doing right now?
My son is sleeping because it is 3am here. I can’t sleep until I find a vacuum and have been searching for over an hour… Grrrr!!

why do people hate nasa so much? when it gets a about HALF PERCENT of our country's budget?
February 25th, 2010NASA has done so much for America..sure it "wastes" a half percent of our total budget especially when it "wasted" funds
I found this somewhere)
Since 1976, about 1,400 documented NASA inventions have benefited U.S. industry, improved the quality of life and created jobs for Americans. The Apollo program has helped change the way of life in America, especially in health care. Here are some of the inventions contributed by the Apollo program.
Kidney dialysis machines were developed as a result of a NASA developed chemical process that could remove toxic waste from used dialysis fluid.
As a medical CAT scanner searches the human body for tumors or other abnormalities, the industrial version, or advanced computed tomography inspection system, finds imperfections in aerospace structures and components, such as castings, rocket motors and nozzles.
A cardiovascular conditioner developed for astronauts in space led to the development of a physical therapy and athletic development machine used by football teams, sports clinics and medical rehabilitation centers.
A hospital food service system employs a cook/chill concept for serving food. The system allows staff to prepare food well in advance, maintain heat, visual appeal and nutritional value while reducing operating costs.
Athletic shoe design and manufacture also benefited from Apollo. Space suit technology is incorporated into a shoe’s external shell. A stress free "blow molding" process adapted from NASA space suit design is also used in the shoe’s manufacture.
Freeze-dried food solved the problem of what to feed an astronaut on the long-duration Apollo missions.
Insulation barriers made of aluminum foil laid over a core of propylene or mylar, which protected astronauts and their spacecraft’s delicate instruments from radiation, is used to protect cars and trucks and dampen engine and exhaust noise.
Water purification technology used on the Apollo spacecraft is now employed in several spinoff applications to kill bacteria, viruses and algae in community water supply systems and cooling towers. Filters mounted on faucets can reduce lead in water supplies.
Process for bonding dry lubricant to space metals led to the development of surface enhancement coatings, which are used in applications from pizza making to laser manufacture. Each coating is designed to protect specific metal group or group of metals to solve problems encountered under operating conditions.
Digital signal-processing techniques, originally developed to enhance pictures of the Moon for the Apollo Program, are an indispensable part of Computer-Aided Tomography (CAT) scan & Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technologies used today worldwide.
Vacuum metallizing techniques led to an extensive line of commercial products, from insulated outer garments to packaging for foods & from reflective blankets to photographic reflectors.
Cordless power tools & appliances are one of the most successful commercial spin-offs of space-based technology.
Cool suits, which kept Apollo astronauts comfortable during moon walks, are today worn by race car drivers, hazardous area workers, & people with specific health problems.
A hollow retroreflector, a mirror-like instrument that reflects light & other radiation back to the source, is used as a sensor to detect the presence of hazardous gases in oil development, chemical plants, waste storage sites & locations where gases could be released into the environment.
TV Satellite Dish
NASA developed ways to correct errors in the signals coming from the spacecraft. This technology is used to reduce noise (that is, messed up picture or sound) in TV signals coming from satellites.
Medical Imaging
NASA developed ways to process signals from spacecraft to produce clearer images. (See more on digital information and how spacecraft send images from space.) This technology also makes possible these photo-like images of our insides.
Vision Screening System
Uses techniques developed for processing space pictures to examine eyes of children and find out quickly if they have any vision problems. The child doesn’t have to say a word!
Ear Thermometer
Instead of measuring temperature using a column of mercury (which expands as it heats up), this thermometer has a lens like a camera and detects infrared energy, which we feel as heat. The warmer something is (like your body), the more infrared energy it puts out. This technology was originally developed to detect the birth of stars.
Fire Fighter Equipment
Fire fighters wear suits made of fire resistant fabric developed for use in space suits.
Smoke Detector
First used in the Earth orbiting space station called Skylab (launched back in 1973) to help detect any toxic vapors. Now used in most homes and other buildings to warn people of fire.
Sun Tiger Glasses
From research done on materials to protect the eyes of welders working on spacecraft, pro
also could NASA use some of the stimulus package money for fund it for a decade?
not saying who hates or who loves nasa
im saying why do people hate nasa…when nasa has done so much…
My sister who works in the health department got an job due to the digital imaging..aka CAT
I heard that CONGRESS wants to SAVE 100 MILLION ,by crashing the ISS into the ocean
half percent ,so %.5 of americas budget is going to nasa
when people say medical uses is a beter alternitive..NASA practical created CAT scaning which save lives.
kidney dialysis machines due to nasa’s efforts saves countless lives…yet
