Abstract: A cleaning system includes an arm configured for connection to a cleaning implement. A base is spaced from the arm in an extension direction such that the cleaning implement is positionable between the arm and the base. The base and the arm are configured to move together in the extension direction between a recessed position and a raised position relative to a surface, and the arm is configured to rotate relative to the base in the raised position.

Abstract: A system may have structure. The structures may include laminated structures formed by attaching inner and outer layers together with a layer of adhesive. The inner and outer layers in a structure may be formed from polymer such as polycarbonate. Forming the structure layers from polymer may allow the structure to have desired curvature. To improve safety and/or acoustic performance of the structure, the inner and outer structure layers may be formed from different materials. The outer polymer layer may be formed from polycarbonate and the inner polymer layer may be formed from a more brittle polymer such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

Abstract: A panel includes an outer layer and an inner layer. A mask layer is positioned between the outer layer and the inner layer. An active layer is positioned between the mask layer and the inner layer and adjacent to an outer edge of the panel. The active layer extends from the outer edge of the panel toward a central portion of the panel and includes an independently controllable active element configured to limit viewing of the mask layer.

Abstract: A panel (100) of a structure includes an outer layer (220) and an inner layer (222) that is positioned closer to an interior surface (104) of the structure than the outer layer (220). An intermediate layer (224) is positioned between the outer layer (220) and the inner layer (222), and a mask layer (106) is positioned between the outer layer (220) and the intermediate layer (224). The mask layer (106) includes an outer portion (228) and an inner portion (230), where the outer portion (228) is positioned between the outer layer (220) and the intermediate layer (224), and the inner portion (230) is positioned between the outer portion (228) and the intermediate layer (224). The outer portion (228) and the inner portion (230) include different visual attributes.
