News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Numerous cleaning devices capable of autonomous movement w ithin swimming pools and spas currentlyexist. The most common of these devices are APCs, which often are either hydraulic or robotic in type.Hydraulic cleaner s vary water flow for movement, while robotic cleaners typically employ electric motorsto cause motion. Hydraulic APCs, furthermore, subdivide into “pressure-s ide” and “suction-side” cleaners,with pressure-side cleaners being fluidly conn ected to outputs of pumps of pool water circulation systemsand suction-side cle aners being fluidly connected to inputs of such pumps. International Patent Application Publication No. WO 2020/041075 of Newman, et al., whose contents are inc orporated herein intheir entirety by this reference, describes mapping and trac king methods and systems for use in connectionwith pools and spas. Included as part of these systems may be an apparatus for light detection and ranging(“LIDA R”) having a rotating sensor. The sensor projects above the waterline of a pool “so as to send laserlight through air, rather than water,” and the apparatus ma y be tethered to an APC travelling within thepool. In use, the sensor “collects data as it scans the walls forming the perimeter of a pool at and abovethe wat erline.””
