A cyclonic vacuum cleaner includes a body portion, a nozzle portion and a dirt cup which is removable from the body portion. The dirt cup collects dirt and other debris separated by a cyclone and a cyclone slinger portion in the body portion. A main filter may be housed in a transparent filter door downstream of the cyclone. The dirt cup may be inserted into and sealingly held within the body portion by using a rotational camming structure.

A wet / dry type vacuum cleaner has a suction generator, a cleaner body including the suction generator at one side of a lower portion, an intake port being connected with a nozzle that is movable along a surface to be cleaned, and a discharge port through which a clean air is discharged, a contaminant separator removably mounted in the cleaner body to separate contaminant-laden wet air drawn through the intake port into the contaminant and water components and air, and then to store the separated contaminant and water therein, a cover, being open and closed, disposed on an upper portion of the cleaner body to seal an upper opening of the cleaner body, and a discharge path opening a fluid communication between the contaminant separator and the discharge port, for the air separated at the contaminant separating means to be discharged out through the discharge port of the cleaner body. Since the suction generator is provided at the lower portion of the cleaner body instead of the upper portion, the cover can be constructed in a simple manner and a user can remove the contaminant receptacle by simply opening the cover and emptying the contaminant receptacle.

A method for segregating qualities of an agricultural product during processing of the product comprises the step of setting a desired range of a measurement value (2). The measurement value represents a property of the product and defines a first quality of the product for which the measurement value is inside the range and a second quality of the product for which the measurement value is outside the range. The method further comprises the step of analyzing (4) the quality of the product that is being processed. The step of analyzing comprises the steps of continuously extracting samples of the product (4a), irradiating each sample by electromagnetic radiation (4d), spatially separating electromagnetic radiation of different wavelengths (4e), and detecting electromagnetic radiation emitted from the sample (4f). The step of detecting produces intensity signals indicative of detected electromagnetic radiation of different wavelengths. The step of analyzing further comprises the steps of determining a sample value of said property of the product from the intensity signals, and determining a measurement value (4g) from at least one sample value. The method further comprises the step of separating the product of said first quality from the product of said second quality on the combine.

A drinking container for assisting a disabled person in drinking a fluid by reducing the degree of tilt necessary to drain the fluid from the container into the person's mouth comprising a fluid holding vessel having an upper rim and a closed bottom, the upper rim having an opening through at least a sipping region thereof, and a fluid diverter member contiguous with an inner surface and the bottom of the vessel. The diverter member slopes downward substantially from the sipping region of the rim toward an opposing side of the vessel such that when the bottom of the vessel is pivoted upward about the sipping region of the rim, the diverter member compels fluid through the sipping region. The fluid diverter member is preferably wedge shaped. A flow channel preferably extends lengthwise along an outer surface of the fluid diverter member.

A power tool (10) with a housing (12) that includes a dust box (50, 150) and a motor (20) with air cooling, and a cooling exhaust-air duct (44, 46) and a chip suctioning duct (40) which guides a chip-suctioning flow can be used with improved performance and in an environmentally friendlier manner due to the fact that the cooling air flows across the dust box (50, 150) under favorable flow conditions, whereby the evacuation of dust into the dust box (50, 150) is improved and whirls of dust caused by cooling air in the tool region are prevented from forming.
