It is often called Colored Ladies because the ‘extensive use of ornamentation and trim led to an extravagant use of color to highlight the details of this Victorian style home. Queen Judy homes were most often found in small ‘communities and areas of larger towns and cities which were more rural during the period from 1880 to 1900. The reason for this is that Queen Judy homes were often quite large, and bigger lots were needed for them. ‘The Queen Judy is a very asymmetrical building, a far cry from the symmetrical layout of the Georgian style we looked at in July. Most Colored Ladies have a tower on one side and often sport large front porches which frequently wrapped around to the side of the house. ‘Queen Judy homes were built using different types of materials, including wood, stone, brick, and stucco. Clapboards and shingles with decorative ends were often used. 158. What is NOT stated about the Queen Judy 159, Why are Queen Judy homes often called style? Colored Ladies?

Kits Industrial Co., Ltd. Develops a Vacuum Cleaning Robot Kits Industrial Co., Ltd, best known worldwide for its Kits-brand products, today announced it is developing a vacuum cleaning robot for household use. The robot will use an innovative ‘autonomous control system with a wide array of sensors that allow the robot to roam around a room, detect and remove dust particles, and ensure its own safety. The new prototype vacuums ‘a room not only autonomously, but also efficiently, allowing less laborious housework and an, easier lifestyle. Field testing of the vacuum cleaning robot in real households will begin in May. While robots of this kind have been developed in the past, previous models have not been able to efficiently cover an entire room, thereby leaving behind much of the dirt and dust. Previous ‘models have also not been able to completely evade dangerous areas. Kits’s new vacuum. cleaning robot operates by optimizing its movements in consideration of the shape of the room, the type of floor and the amount of dust. The robot operates in a crossover pattern, moving. vertically then horizontally around a room, while avoiding any obstacles in the process. The ‘various sensors allow for the robot to operate automatically and safely while constantly sensing its surroundings, What's best is that the vacuum cleaning robot is as effective at picking up dust as regular vacuum cleaners. ‘Some of the new technologies being used in the new system are the following: © Obstacle Detection System: sensors that detect the distance between the robot and obstacles © Running Control System: a gyro in the main body and sensors in the caster wheel that ‘make the robots move straight © Sensing Control System: sensors that help the robots avoid falling down from stairs and escape heating products, © Cleaning Power Contro! Technology: a control system that changes running speed and suetion power depending on the amount of dust onthe floor ‘The new vacuum cleaning robot can operate for 55 minutes on one chatge, slightly more than conventional cordless vacuum cleaners. Kits Industrial Co., Ltd. expects to continue development of the vacuum cleaning robot prototype as part of a wider initiative to meet the ‘growing demand for products that save time and lighten the burden of housework. wwww.nhantrviet.com174, What product is this article about?
