Almost a Technocrat in Draft

This is how to make the YouTube embedded videos responsive to screen sizes on a Blogger blog. Add the following CSS styles into the Blogger CSS styles section of the Blogger template: .video-container {      position: relative;      padding-bottom: 56.25%;      padding-top: 30px;      height: 0;      overflow: hidden; } .video-container iframe, .video-container object, .video-container embed {      position: absolute;      top: 0;      left: 0;      width: 100%;      height: 100%; } Then, add additional div class video-container code wrapping around the YouTube embed code: <div class="video-container">       <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/abcdefghi" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe> </div> References, Sources and Credits: http://avexdesigns.com/responsive-youtube-embed/

Sunlight seems to act like a virtual wall to IRova KK8 robotic vacuum cleaner. I manage to record a video to show that the robot behaves as if the sunlight shinning through an opened window is a wall. Navigation Go back to main page.

As stated in the first section, iRova did not design and manufacture this product. There are other companies that are buying the same product from the OEM company and re-badge it with their own brand. Below are the list of brands that I manage to find during my research of this product. http://www.robotvacuumcleaner.cn/product_detail-2845-77.html http://www.lelong.com.my/evatronic-kk8-intelligent-robot-vacuum-cleaner-auto-recharge-base-chenchen89-I1645976-2007-01-Sale-I.htm http://www.amazon.co.uk/ElectrIQ-Intelligent-Programable-Robotic-Charging/dp/B00M31BPC6 http://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/eiq-kk8/electriq-eiqkk8 Navigation Next, watch all the videos uploaded in YouTube related to KK8.

My initial expectation of this robotic vacuum cleaner might not be that smart compare to more expensive brands like iRobot, Neato, LG or Samsung. After a week of observation, this is what I can summarize. How smart is it? Apparently, the iRova KK8 is pretty smart. Other than bouncing off an obstacle and walls, this iRova KK8 can: Detects a dirtier area and automatically switches to Spot Cleaning Mode until the area is clean enough. It has a built in dust sensor located at the vacuum intake passage to detect the density of dust passing through.  Return to its docking station from a different room. I observe that it will do a 360 degrees scan to look for its docking station. If the docking station is not found, it will move around and run the scan again to look for its docking station.  Detects a cliff and move away to avoid falling down.  Be controlled of its movement using the remote control. Using the direction buttons on the remote control, I can control the iRova KK8 j...

This iRova KK8 is easy enough to clean. The effort of cleaning the dust bin and it's brushes are less than sweeping the floor. Here a breakdown of how I clean the robotic vacuum. Dust Bin Dust collected after a day's work Dust collected after a week work The dust bin is a top loaded design. So it's pretty easy to access the dust bin by popping up the top cover and pull out the whole dust bin. The dust bin consist of the dust bin itself, a primary filter and a HEPA filter. Take out the primary filter and brush out all the dust first. Then take out the HEPA filter and wash the dust bin and primary filter with water. You don't have to wash the HEPA filter every time you wash the dust bin. Wash the HEPA filter once a month. Just flush the HEPA filter through a running tap water. You don't have to brush the HEPA filter. Side Brushes Clean side brush Side brush entangled with long hair The brushes are easy to clean by using a damp cloth. Look out for entangled long hairs...

I think it did but first, let me explain its various cleaning modes (total 6 cleaning modes) available from this robot vacuum. These cleaning modes can be controlled using the "mode" button on the remote control. However, when I press the mode button, the LCD display will only show mode 1 to mode 4. Only Spot Cleaning Mode has it's dedicated button for it. Auto Cleaning Mode This is the default cleaning mode when you power on the iRova KK8. It switches between Spot Cleaning Mode, S-shape Cleaning Mode and Edge Cleaning mode. It's unknown to me how it decide when to switch cleaning modes. Spot Cleaning Mode (Spot button) When iRova KK8 detects a dirtier area using it's dust sensor, it will switch to Spot Cleaning Mode where it will move in spiral outwards direction to rapidly clean the area until clean. There is a dust sensor built-in the vacuum intake passage way to determine if the area is dirty. Edge Cleaning Mode (Mode button) The iRova KK8 will only move along...
