 The present disclosure relates to mops or similar cleaning implements. More particularly, it relates to manually operable, liquid dispensing mops.
 Mop assemblies of the type used for applying liquids (e.g., water, cleaning solutions, floor wax, disinfectants, etc.) to a floor surface commonly include a mop head, a handle by which the mop head can be manually moved along the surface, and a reservoir containing the liquid. The reservoir is usually connected to a nozzle or dispensing tube situated near the mop head so that liquid can be deposited onto the mop head or onto the floor surface at a position close to the mop head to facilitate application or spreading of the liquid over the floor surface. The flow of liquid from the reservoir is typically controlled by a valve, which is normally closed to stop the flow of liquid through the valve, but can be opened to allow liquid from the reservoir to flow through the valve. The valve is generally actuated by the operator in order to permit dispensing of the liquid at a time and place desired for optimal liquid usage efficiency. One advantage of such liquid dispensing mop assemblies is that there is no need for the mop operator to apply the liquid to the surface in a separate step; instead, it can be done as part of the mopping operation, thereby increasing the efficiency of the mopping process.
 In many conventional liquid dispensing mop assemblies, the reservoir is disposed on or adjacent the handle, typically low on the handle just above the mop head. Although this makes for convenient location of the reservoir, it increases the weight and bulkiness of the mop assembly, making it more difficult and tiring to use since the weight of the reservoir (and contained liquid) is located a relatively large distance from the handle pivot point that must be overcome by a greater user-applied moment or stress when swinging or pushing the mop during normal use. Some mop assemblies attempt to avoid these problems by separating the reservoir from the mop handle so that the reservoir does not have to be moved back and forth with the handle during the mopping process; however, such systems can be cumbersome and awkward to manipulate as the connection between the dispensing tube and the reservoir can interfere with use of the mop.
 Other concerns with conventional liquid dispensing mop assemblies relate to re-filling of a depleted reservoir. With some designs, the reservoir is a permanent structure of the mop itself. In many instances, it can be difficult for a user to quickly re-fill the permanent reservoir without spillage. Conversely, other constructions provide the reservoir in the form of a container apart from the mop itself, with the mop having brackets or other structures for removably receiving the container. A depleted container can readily be replaced with a new container of liquid, but accidental spillage may invariably occur. Moreover, the mechanisms affording operator control over the dispensing of liquid are not ergonomically correct or convenient, and/or can be quite complex and thus costly.
 In light of the above, a need exists for improved liquid dispensing cleaning systems, such as liquid dispensing mops.
 Some aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward a cleaning system. The cleaning system include a lower unit, a liquid dispense assembly, and a reservoir unit. The lower unit includes a shaft and media holder. The shaft defines a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an interior passage open to the first end. The media holder is connected to the shaft adjacent the second end. The liquid dispense assembly is connected to the first end and includes a housing and a drainage tube. The housing forms an open chamber. The drainage tube is carried by the housing. The reservoir unit includes a bottle and a cap. The bottle is adapted to contain a liquid and terminates at an open end. The cap covers the open end. The system is configured to provide a loaded arrangement in which the reservoir unit is selectively retained within the chamber. Further, the system is configured to be manually operable in the loaded arrangement between a closed state and a dispensing state. In the closed state, the drainage tube is displaced from the cap. In the dispensing state, a portion of the drainage tube passes through the cap for delivering liquid from the bottle to the interior passage. With this construction, the reservoir unit is easily assembled to and removed from the liquid dispense assembly. Further, the mechanisms by which an operator can selectively dispense liquid from the reservoir unit are straightforward and easy to operate. In some embodiments, the liquid dispense assembly includes a plunger for operator-prompted dispensing of liquid, with the plunger arranged to be actuated by a pressing force applied by an operator's hand otherwise grasping the housing. In other embodiments, the cap includes or carries a valve, such as a bifurcating valve, and the drainage tube includes an insertion segment configured to repeatedly slide through the bifurcating valve in a non-destructive manner.
 Other aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward a liquid dispense assembly for use with a mop apparatus. The liquid dispense assembly includes a housing, a plunger, a drainage tube, and a hub. The housing defines a leading section, an intermediate section, and a trailing section. The intermediate second forms an open chamber for selectively receiving a reservoir unit. The leading section defines an interior passageway open to an end of the housing and terminating at an orifice opposite the end. The plunger is slidably coupled to the trailing section. The drainage tube is attached to the orifice and defines a lumen open to the chamber and the interior passageway. Further, the drainage tube includes an insertion section for selectively interfacing with a reservoir unit. The hub is slidably disposed about the drainage tube. With this construction, the liquid dispense assembly can be assembled to a shaft of a mop apparatus, and provides an ergonomically convenient mechanism for manually-prompted liquid dispensing. In some embodiments, the liquid dispense assembly further includes a spring biasing the hub in a direction of the trailing section.
 Yet other aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward a method of cleaning. The method includes loading a reservoir unit into a liquid dispense assembly of a mop apparatus. The reservoir unit includes a bottle containing a liquid and a cap covering an open end of the bottle. A plunger of the liquid dispense assembly is then depressed to cause a drainage tube of the liquid dispense assembly to pass through the cap. Commensurate with the step of depressing, the drainage tube is open to an interior passage of a shaft of the mop apparatus so as to dispense liquid from the bottle onto a surface to be cleaned. In some embodiments, an entirety of the reservoir unit moves relative to the drainage tube with the step of depressing the plunger.
 FIG. 14 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a portion of the cleaning system of FIG. 1A, illustrating a dispensing state of the cleaning system.
 One embodiment of a cleaning system 20 in accordance with principles of the present disclosure is shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B. The cleaning system 20 includes a cleaning apparatus (e.g., a mop apparatus) 22 and a reservoir unit 24. In general terms, the reservoir unit 24 contains a volume of liquid and is selectively or removably received by the mop apparatus 22. As a point of reference, FIG. 1A depicts the reservoir unit 24 mounted to the mop apparatus 22 in a loaded arrangement of the system 20, whereas in the unloaded arrangement of FIG. 1B, the reservoir unit 24 is removed from the mop apparatus 22. In addition to facilitating selective mounting of the reservoir unit 24, the mop apparatus 22 includes various features that promote user-prompted dispensing of liquid from the reservoir unit 24 onto the surface to be cleaned as described in greater detail below.
 The mop apparatus 22 generally includes a lower unit 30 and a liquid dispense assembly 32. The lower unit 30 is assembled to the liquid dispense assembly 32, and includes or carries various implements for cleaning. The liquid dispense assembly 32, in turn, is configured to receive the reservoir unit 24, and includes components operable for dispensing liquid from the reservoir unit 24 to the lower unit 30. In some embodiments, the liquid dispense assembly 32 is formed apart from and assembled to the lower unit 30; alternatively, portions of the lower unit 30 and the liquid dispense assembly 32 can be integrally formed.
 The lower unit 30 can assume a variety of forms generally appropriate for a desired end-use application; the present disclosure is not limited to the exemplary formats reflected in the drawings. The lower unit 30 can include a shaft 40 and a media holder 42. The shaft 40 is configured for coupling to (or is integrally formed with one more components of) the liquid dispense assembly 32, and forms an interior passage (hidden in the views of FIGS. 1A and 1B). In some embodiments, the shaft 40 can be akin to a hollow tube. Regardless, the interior passage serves as conduit for directing liquid from the liquid dispense assembly 32. The shaft 40 can alternatively be viewed as a mop handle of the apparatus 22. As used herein, the term "mop handle" has its commonly understood definition: an elongated member having a first, proximal or lower end 50 adjacent the media holder 42, and a second, distal or upper end 52 opposite the first end 50. In some embodiments, the shaft 40 can have an aspect ratio (i.e., length to width ratio) of about 10:1 or greater. For many hand-held implements, a typical cross-section width dimension of the shaft 40 is in the range of about 0.75 inch to about 1.5 inch (about 18 mm to about 38 mm). Similarly, the shaft 40 can have a length of about 20 inches to 60 inches or more depending on the intended utility of the mop apparatus 22. The shaft 40 can be of a set length or can be adjustable in length (e.g., the shaft 40 can have a telescoping configuration).
 The media holder 42 is the portion of the mop apparatus 22 (or similar cleaning apparatus) adapted to receive, support or carry a cleaning media (not shown), and can assume a wide variety of forms. The media holder 42 can be, for example, a mop head in the form of a substantially flat or platen media holder, but may be any other suitable structure. The media holder 42 can be adapted to receive any cleaning media format such as woven or nonwoven fabric or paper media as used in so-called flat mops; braided, twisted or woven textile strings or stripes of fabric as used in so-called string or strip mops; squeegees and various brush-like materials useful for scrubbing floors and other surfaces.
 The media holder 42 can be connected to the shaft 40 at or adjacent the first end 50 in various manners. For example, FIGS. 1A and 1B depict one exemplary connection in the form of a coupling joint 60 that may provide a fixed union, thereby holding the media holder 42 in a fixed orientation with respect to the shaft 40. In other embodiments, a swiveling and/or pivoting union can be provided, thereby permitting the media holder 42 to remain attached to the shaft 40 yet assume more than one orientation with respect to the shaft 40.
 As evidenced by the above descriptions, the cleaning systems of the present disclosure are not limited to any particular end use cleaning format. It is to be understood that descriptions of the present disclosure in terms of a mop is for convenience and ease of understanding of the description. It is fully contemplated by the inventor that the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to use with a floor mop, but applies to other implements useful for cleaning surfaces or spreading or otherwise applying liquids to a surface including cleaning tools or systems intended for use, for example, on floors, walls, sinks, toilets, windows, etc. In other words, the term "mop" is used herein to refer to any implement that includes a cleaning material fastened to a handle that can be used to clean any surface.
 One embodiment of the liquid dispense assembly 32 is shown in greater detail in FIG. 2, and includes a housing 70 and a drainage tube 72. The housing 70 is configured to selectively receive and retain the reservoir unit 24 (FIG. 1B). The drainage tube 72 is carried by the housing 70, and is configured to selectively interface with the reservoir unit 24 in a manner that permits or prevents the flow of liquid from the reservoir unit 24 as described below. In this regard, the fluid dispense assembly 32 includes one or more additional components that facilitate operator-prompted control over the drainage tube 72/reservoir unit 24 interface, for example a plunger 74 and a biasing assembly 76 as described in greater detail below.
 The housing 70 includes or defines a leading section 80, an intermediate section 82, and a trailing section 84. In general terms, the leading section 80 is configured for assembly to the shaft 40 (FIG. 1A), and supports the drainage tube 72. The intermediate section 82 extends between the leading and trailing sections 80, 84, and forms or defines an open chamber 86 sized to selectively receive the reservoir unit 24 (FIG. 1B). The trailing section 84 provides a convenient handling surface for a user, and is optionally configured to retain the plunger 74 (where provided). The housing 70 can be an integrally formed body in some embodiments; alternatively, one or more of the sections 80-84 can be separately formed and subsequently assembled (e.g., the trailing section 84 can be a grip body formed apart from the intermediate section 82).
 In certain respects, geometry features associated with the housing 70 are selected in accordance with the geometries of one or more other components connected to the housing 70. With this in mind, and with additional reference to FIG. 3, the leading section 80 forms or defines a neck 90 and a collar 92. The neck 90 is configured for assembly to the shaft 40 (FIG. 1B), whereas the collar 92 is configured to maintain the drainage tube 72 and the optional biasing assembly 76.
 The neck 90 has a generally tubular construction, and defines an interior passageway 100. The neck 90 is sized and shaped for assembly to the shaft 40 (FIG. 1B), and can incorporate various features that facilitate a liquid-tight connection. For example, an outer diameter of the neck 90 can correspond with a diameter of the passage (not shown) formed by the shaft 40 such that the housing 70 is assembled to the shaft 40 via insertion of the neck 90 into the shaft passage. The neck 90 can include one or more channels or grooves 102 each adapted to receive an O-ring (not shown), thereby promoting a secure, leak-proof engagement between the neck 90 and an inner surface of the shaft 40. The neck 90 can optionally further include or more additional features that promote fastened connection between the shaft 40 and the housing 70, such as a slot 104 adapted to receive a snap ring or similar attachment component. The neck 90 can be configured for attachment to the shaft 40 in a wide variety of other manners (e.g., friction fit, mechanical fastener, adhesive, welding, etc.). In yet other embodiments, the housing 70 (or at least the leading section 84) can be integrally formed with the shaft 40. Regardless, the interior passageway 100 of the neck 90 is fluidly open or connected to the passage of the shaft 40.
 The collar 92 can assume various forms, and generally includes or defines a floor 110 and an outer wall 112. The floor 110 is formed at a transition between the neck 90 and the collar 92, and defines a central orifice 114 that is open to the interior passageway 100. A size and shape of the orifice 114 is configured for receiving a portion of the drainage tube 72 (FIG. 2) as described below. As best shown in FIG. 4, one or more optional air bleed holes 116 are defined through a thickness of the floor 110 at locations radially spaced from the central orifice 114. The air bleed holes 116 are open to the interior passageway 100 (FIG. 3), and promote pressure equalization during a liquid dispensing operation as well as drainage of any liquid that may accumulate within the roller 92 due to imperfect sealing with drainage tube 72. Returning to FIGS. 2 and 3, the outer wall 112 projects from the floor 110 to form a cavity 118 within which the biasing assembly 76 is received. In this regard, the outer wall 112 is optionally shaped as a right cylinder, defining a diameter sized to slidably receive a component of the biasing assembly 76 as described below. Alternatively, the outer wall 112 can have other constructions that may or may not circumferentially enclose the cavity 118.
 The intermediate section 82 includes a side wall 130 and a funnel 132 that combine to at least partially define the chamber 86. The funnel 132 serves as a transition between the side wall 130 and the leading section 80. A shape of an inner surface 134 of the side wall 130 generally corresponds with a shape of the reservoir unit 24 (FIG. 1B), such that the reservoir unit 24 can be generally retained against the inner surface 134. With additional reference to FIG. 5, the side wall 130 terminates at opposing edges 136, 138. As shown, the edges 136, 138 are laterally spaced from one another, creating a gap or opening 140 (referenced generally in FIG. 5) to the chamber 86. In other words, the chamber 86 is open-sided, with a size and shape of the gap 140 selected to allow easy insertion and removal of the reservoir unit 24. In some embodiments, geometry of the inner surface 134 approximates a semi-circle as shown, although other shapes are also acceptable. As identified in FIG. 2, a lateral projection 142 is formed along a length of each of the edges 136, 138, and provides an opening for placement of an operator's finger(s) when attempting to remove the reservoir unit 24 from the chamber 86. Other constructions are also acceptable (e.g., a hole or notch in the side wall 130). In other embodiments, edges 136, 138 can be uniform along an entirety of the intermediate section 82.
 The funnel 132 tapers in diameter from the side wall 130 to the collar 92, defining a continuous surface commensurate with that of the outer wall 112. Thus, in some embodiments, the chamber 86 is circumferentially enclosed along the funnel 132 (as compared to the open construction of the chamber 86 along the side wall 130). As described below, the tapering shape of the funnel 132 serves to guide insertion of the reservoir unit 24 (FIG. 1B) into the collar 92.
 With specific reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the trailing section 84 is configured to receive the plunger 74, and includes or defines a ring 150 and a grip 152. A channel 154 extends through the trailing section 84, and is open to the chamber 86. The ring 150 and the grip 152 can thus be annular bodies, with an outer diameter of the grip 152 being less than that of the ring 150 (and of a shape defined by the side wall 130). With this construction, a shoulder 156 is established opposite a terminal end 158 of the grip 152. The grip 152 is sized and shaped for ergonomic handling by a palm of operator's hand in some embodiments, although other configurations are equally acceptable. As generally reflected by FIG. 3, the trailing section 84 can be separately formed and assembled to the intermediate section 82; alternatively, the housing 70 can be an integral, homogenous body.
 The housing 70 can optionally include or incorporate additional features conducive to operator handling. For example, and as identified in FIGS. 2 and 5, a series of optional ribs 159 can project from the side wall 130 to provide increased strength while reducing the amount of material.
 Returning to FIG. 2, the drainage tube 72 is generally configured for mounting within the leading section 80 of the housing 70, and to selectively interface with the reservoir unit 24 (FIG. 1B) when disposed within the chamber 86. One embodiment of the drainage tube 72 is shown in greater detail in FIG. 6, and includes or defines a first end 160 opposite a second end 162, and a lumen 164. The lumen 164 extends through the drainage tube 72, and is open to the first and second ends 160, 162. In some embodiments, the drainage tube 72 includes an insertion segment 170 otherwise terminating at the first end 160. The insertion segment 170 can assume various constructions appropriate for interfacing with a corresponding component of the reservoir unit 24. In some embodiments, for example, the insertion segment 170 includes a plurality of spaced apart, circumferentially arranged splines 172, adjacent ones of which are separated by a slot 174. The splines 172 (and corresponding slots 174) extend longitudinally (i.e., parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the drainage tube 72), and are adapted, in some embodiments, for slidable insertion into and retraction from a valve structure such as a bifurcating valve allowing air to enter between the splines 172 (i.e., via the slots 174). Other constructions are also envisioned, commensurate a valve or other self-sealing configuration provided with the reservoir unit 24.
 Other optional features provided with the drainage tube 72 can be selected to promote assembly with the housing 70 (FIG. 2) and/or to interface with the biasing assembly 76 (FIG. 2). For example, the drainage tube 72 can include a flange 180, a guide segment 182 and a mounting segment 184. The insertion segment 170 projects from the flange 180, with an outer diameter of the flange 180 being greater than an outer diameter collectively defined by the splines 172. The guide segment 182 extends from the flange 180 in a direction opposite the insertion segment 170, and is generally configured to interface with a component of the biasing assembly 76 as described below. The guide segment 182 can be cylindrical in shape, optionally having an outer diameter less than the diameter of the flange 180. The mounting segment 184 terminates at the second end 162 and is sized and shaped for mounted assembly to the housing 70 as described below. For example, the mounting segment 184 can be cylindrical in shape, having a stepped reduction in outer diameter to generate a rim 186 for reasons made clear below. The drainage tube 72 can be assembled to the housing 70 in a wide variety of manners, such that the drainage tube 72 can incorporate other constructions differing from the mounting segment 184 as shown.
 The drainage tube 72 can be an integral, homogenous body. Alternatively, the drainage tube 72 can be formed by two (or more) separate components, such as shown in FIG. 7. More particularly, the drainage tube 72 is optionally generated by assembly of a head member 190 and a base member 192. The head member 190 includes or forms the insertion segment 170, the flange 180, and a coupling body 194 forming exterior threads 196. The base member 192 includes or forms the guide segment 182 and the mounting segment 184, and forms an interiorly threaded surface 198. The head member 190 is assembled to the base member 192 via threaded engagement between the coupling body 194 and the interiorly threaded surface 198. Regardless, the lumen 164 is continuous through the drainage tube 72 as further reflected by FIG. 8.
 Returning to FIG. 2, the plunger 74 is generally configured to facilitate user-actuated dispensing of liquid from the reservoir unit 24 (FIG. 1B), and can assume a variety of forms. In some embodiments, the plunger 74 includes a shaft 200, a capture body 202 and a button 204. The shaft 200 is sized to be slidably received within the channel 154 (referenced generally in FIG. 2) of the housing trailing section 84 (e.g., an outer dimension of the shaft 200 is less than a diameter of the channel 154), and has a length greater than a length of the channel 154. The capture body 202 and the button 204 are attached to opposite ends of the shaft 200 and present an enlarged diameter such that once assembled to the housing 70, the plunger 74 cannot inadvertently be removed (i.e., the capture body 202 and the button 204 cannot pass through the channel 154). For example, and as shown in FIG. 9, longitudinal sliding movement of the plunger 74 relative to the housing 70 is constrained by the capture body 202 contacting the shoulder 156, and by the button 204 contacting the terminal end 158. In some embodiments, the button 204 (and/or the capture body 202) is formed apart from the shaft 200. Assembly of the plunger 74 to the housing 70 entails insertion of the shaft 200 through the channel 154, followed by assembly of the button 204 to the shaft 200. A wide variety of other mounting configurations are equally acceptable.
 Returning to FIG. 2, the optional biasing assembly 76 can assume a variety of forms and in some embodiments includes a hub 210 and a spring 212. One exemplary construction of the hub 210 is shown in FIGS. 10A-10C, and includes a hub body 220 and a platform 222. The hub body 220 has an annular shape, extending between opposing, first and second ends 224, 226. The platform 222 is located intermediate the opposing ends 224, 226, and is perpendicular to a central axis of the hub body 220. As identified in FIG. 10C, the platform 222 defines opposing, first and second faces 230, 232. A central opening 234 is formed through a thickness of the platform 222, and is sized to co-axially receive a portion of the drainage tube 72 (FIG. 2). Further, drainage holes 236 are optionally formed through a thickness of the platform 222 at locations radially spaced from the central opening 234 for reasons made clear below. Regardless, the platform 222 combines with the hub body 220 to define a capture region 238 for receiving the spring 212 (FIG. 2). The hub body 220 further forms a central bore 240 between the first end 224 and the first face 230 of the platform 222. The bore 240 is fluidly open to the central opening 234 (as well as the drainage holes 236 where provided). The bore 240 has a stepped diameter, defining a shelf 242 intermediate the platform 222 and the first end 224. A diameter of the bore 240 between the shelf 242 and the first end 224 corresponds with a component of the reservoir unit 24 (FIG. 1B), with a geometry of the shelf 242 and the reservoir unit component (e.g., a cap) selected in tandem such that the reservoir unit 24 can be placed into the bore 240 in abutting contact with the shelf 242. A diameter of the bore 240 between the shelf 242 and the platform 222 is selected to slidingly accommodate corresponding features of the drainage tube 72, including the optional flange 180 (FIG. 7) as described below.
 Returning to FIG. 2, the spring 212 can assume a variety of forms appropriate for interfacing with the hub 210 as described below. In some embodiments, the spring 212 is a helically wound compression spring. Other configurations are also acceptable, and in some embodiments the spring 212 can be replaced with any other biasing member or mechanism format.
 Mounting of the drainage tube 72 and the biasing assembly 76 to the housing 70 is shown in FIG. 11. The drainage tube 72 is attached to the housing collar 92, locating the insertion segment 170 away from the floor 110. For example, the mounting segment 184 can be press-fit into the orifice 114, establishing a fixed relationship (e.g., the drainage tube 72 does not move relative to the housing 70). Other mounting configurations are equally acceptable that may or may not entail a fixed arrangement. Regardless, the drainage tube lumen 164 is fluidly open to the interior passageway 100. The hub 210 is slidably disposed over the drainage tube 72, including the guide segment 182 of the drainage tube 72 being received within the central opening 234 of the platform 222. As shown, a diameter of the central opening 234 is less than a diameter of the flange 180. Upon final assembly, then, the hub 210 is arranged such that the first face 230 of the platform 222 selectively contacts or abuts the flange 180. Further, the insertion segment 170 is located within the bore 240 of the hub 210, with the hub body 220 being radially spaced from the insertion segment 170 (e.g., the insertion segment 170 and the flange 180 freely slide relative to the hub 210 within the bore 240). The spring 212 is captured between the floor 110 and the second face 232 of the platform 222, and biases the hub 210 away from the floor 110 to the arrangement of FIG. 11. As a point of reference, FIG. 11 reflects a normal or "closed" state of the liquid dispense assembly 32. In the closed state, the spring 212 biases the hub 210 such that platform 222 abuts the flange 180; because the drainage tube 72 (and thus the flange 180) is spatially fixed relative to the floor 110, a static interface is established, preventing the hub 210 from moving beyond (or upwardly relative to the orientation FIG. 11). When a force is applied to the hub 210 sufficient to overcome a biasing force of the spring 212, the hub 210 is caused to move toward the floor 110 for reasons made clear below. Upon removal of this force, the spring 212 biases the hub 210 back to the closed state of FIG. 11. As shown, the shelf 242 is displaced away (i.e., above relative to the orientation of FIG. 11) from the insertion segment 170 of the drainage tube 72 in the closed state.
 Returning to FIG. 1B, the reservoir unit 24 generally includes a bottle 250 and a cap 252. The bottle 250 defines an internal volume for containing a liquid, and terminates at an open end or orifice 254 (referenced generally) that is covered by the cap 252 as shown in FIG. 12. The cap 252 effectively defines a face 256 that closes the open end 254. The face 256 can have a self-sealing or self-closing attribute, whereby a body can be inserted through the face 256 and following subsequent removal of the body, the face 256 (or other component associated with the face 256) self-seals or self-closes. For example, the face 256 can carry or form or be open to a valve structure (not shown). In some embodiments the valve is of a type known to those of skill in the art as bifurcating valve. A bottle cap containing a bifurcating valve may be obtained from Liquid Molding Systems, Inc., Midland, Mich. As a point of reference, while bifurcating valves are sometimes employed to permit flow in response to an external pressure, such as squeezing of the bottle 250, and to prevent fluid flow absent such pressure, operation of the liquid dispense assemblies of the present disclosure is premised upon passing a body through the bifurcating valve (as opposed to squeezing the bottle 250). Other valve constructions are also acceptable. In other embodiments, the face 256 can be or include a self-sealing or self-closing membrane or material layer(s). Though not shown, the cap 252 can optionally include a lid that may be attached to the cap 252 by a hinge, for example, to prevent unexpected flow of liquid through the face 256 during periods of non-use.
 The bottle 250 can assume various shapes and sizes, and in some embodiments is constructed to exhibit at least some longitudinal rigidity (e.g., the bottle 250 will not overtly deform when subjected to the external forces described below). While the bottle 250 may have a substantially rigid construction, in other embodiments the bottle 250 can be constructed to deform in response to a squeezing force. In yet other embodiments, the bottle 250 can be entirely deformable (e.g., akin to a bag or pouch), with the reservoir unit 24 further including one more outer containers that surround the bottle 250 and provide some level of longitudinal rigidity (e.g., a bag-in-a-box design). Further, the reservoir unit 24 may comprise more than one chamber, thereby permitting the contents of multiple chambers to react, combine or mix prior to or during dispensing. The liquid contained by the reservoir unit 24 can be any format desired. Non-limiting examples of liquids useful with the present disclosure include water, water-based cleaning solutions, other liquid cleaning solutions, floor wax, etc. Further, cleaning systems of the present disclosure can include two (or more) of the reservoir units 24 each containing the same or a different liquid; optionally, the system also include a carrier for additional reservoir units such as holder adapted to carry one or more reservoir units and to be worn on the body of the operator.
 As mentioned above, FIG. 1B illustrates the reservoir unit 24 apart or disassembled from the mop apparatus 22. The reservoir unit 24 can easily be loaded into the chamber 86 in multiple fashions by an operator via insertion through the gap 140 (FIG. 5). For example, the reservoir unit 24 is manipulated to first locate a trailing end of the bottle 250 against the capture body 202 of the plunger 74 and then allowed to slip the cap 252 on the shelf 242. It will be recalled that in the normal (or closed) state of FIG. 13A, the spring 212 biases the hub 210 away from the floor 110, including the shelf 242 being displaced away from the insertion segment 170. Thus, during loading of the reservoir unit 24 (in which the cap 252 is engaged with or abuts against the shelf 242), the insertion segment 170 of the drainage tube 72 does not interface with the cap 252, and no liquid is released or dispensed from the reservoir unit 24.
 The loaded arrangement of the cleaning system 20 (with the reservoir unit 24 loaded into the liquid dispense assembly 32) is shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, and reflects a closed or "normal" state. For ease of illustration, the lower unit 30 (FIG. 1A) is omitted from the views. The reservoir unit 24 is fully loaded into the chamber 86, including the cap 252 engaged with the shelf 242 of the hub 210. The spring 212 biases the hub 210 to the arrangement shown, with the hub 210, in turn, locating the cap 252 longitudinally away from the drainage tube 72. That is to say, in the closed state, the insertion segment 170 does not interface with the cap 252 such that the seal provided by the cap face 256 remains intact, preventing release of liquid from the reservoir unit 24. It should be noted that in the view of FIG. 13A, the plunger 74 is arranged such that capture body 202 is in contact with the bottle 250. This may naturally occur where the plunger shaft 200 can freely slide relative to the grip 152 and the liquid dispense assembly 32 is held in an upright fashion (e.g., the orientation of FIG. 13A); under these circumstances, the plunger 74 may self-articulate into the arrangement of FIG. 13A under the force of gravity. However, so long as no external forces are placed onto the plunger 74 (e.g., so long as the operator does not exert an overt pressing force onto the plunger button 204), a biasing force of the spring 212 is sufficient to maintain the closed or normal state under the combined weight of the reservoir unit 24 and the plunger 74. In other words, absent an overt action by the operator, the liquid dispense assembly 32 remains in the closed state and liquid is not released from the reservoir unit 24.
 To dispense liquid from the reservoir unit 24, the operator applies a manual force onto the plunger 74 in a direction of the reservoir unit 24 (represented by the arrow "D" in FIG. 13A) while keeping the housing 70 relatively stationary. For example, while handling the housing 70, the operator can hold the grip 152 in the palm of a single hand and apply a pressing force on to the plunger button 204 with the thumb of the single hand in an ergonomically convenient fashion. Other techniques for applying a manual force on to the plunger 74 are also acceptable. Regardless, the force placed on to the plunger 74 is transferred on to the reservoir unit 24 and in turn on to the hub 210 (due to a longitudinal rigidity of the bottle 250). Once the applied force overcomes a bias of the spring 212, the hub 210 and the reservoir unit 24 are caused to move in tandem in a direction of the floor 110, including the hub 210 sliding relative to the drainage tube 72. A spring force of the spring 212 is selected such that an adult human applying the pressing force solely with his/her thumb can readily overcome the bias of the spring 212 in some embodiments. Regardless, the reservoir unit 24 is caused to move relative to the housing 70 and the drainage tube 72 to the dispensing state of FIG. 14.
 As the liquid dispense assembly 32 is transitioned from the closed state (FIG. 13B) to the dispense state (FIG. 14), the drainage tube 72 is caused to interface with the reservoir unit 24. More particularly, the insertion segment 170 passes through the cap 252 (and in particular the sealed or valved face 256) such that in the dispense state of FIG. 14, the drainage tube lumen 164 is fluidly open to an interior of the bottle 250. Liquid contained in the bottle 250 will flow (e.g., due to forces of gravity) through the drainage tube lumen 164 and into the interior passageway 100. Air is allowed to flow into the bottle 250 via the slots 174 (FIG. 6) along the insertion segment 170 of the drainage tube 72 while liquid passes through the drainage tube lumen 164. It will be recalled that the interior passageway 100 is fluidly connected to one or more other conduits or passages (such as an interior passage of the shaft 42 (FIG. 1A)), delivering the so dispensed liquid to an outlet or exit orifice of the mop apparatus 22. When the operator desires to discontinue the dispensing of liquid, the pressing force applied to the plunger 74 (FIG. 13A) is released; the spring 212 then biases the hub 210 back to the closed state, including the insertion segment 170 being withdrawn from the cap 252. With removal of the insertion segment 170, the cap 252, and in particular the valved or self-sealing face 256, closes or seals the bottle 250. With embodiments in which the cap 252 includes or carries a bifurcating valve, the optional splined construction of the insertion segment 170 (e.g., as shown in FIG. 6) readily slides into and out of interfacing contact with the bifurcating valve in a non-destructive manner, allowing an operator to repeatedly transition between the closed and dispensing states with the bifurcating valve consistently returning to a sealed condition upon withdrawal of the insertion segment 170; further, the optional splines 172 (FIG. 6) effect a fluid tight seal with a perimeter of the bifurcating valve such that liquid will not overtly flow between the insertion segment 170 and the bifurcating valve perimeter in the dispensing state. Pressure potentially generated between the shelf 242 and the floor 110 as the reservoir unit 24 is transitioned from the closed state (FIG. 13B) to the dispensing state (FIG. 14) is relieved via the air bleed holes 116 (referenced generally) in the floor 110 and the drainage holes 236 in the platform 222. Further any excess liquid can drain through the holes 236, 116 and into the interior passageway 100.
 The liquid dispense assemblies of the present disclosure can assume other formats akin to above explanations but incorporating various modifications. For example, while operation of the liquid dispense assembly 32 in transitioning between the closed and dispensing states has been described as moving or sliding an entirety of the reservoir unit 24 relative to the drainage tube 72, in other embodiments the liquid dispense assembly can be configured such that the drainage tube 72 is caused to move relative to the reservoir unit 24 in response to an operator-applied force, selectively bringing the insertion segment 170 into and out of engagement with the cap 252. In some embodiments, such as the example of FIGS. 13B and 14, the fluid dispense assembly 32 is configured such that the operator-applied actuation force (e.g., pressing force applied to the button 204 as described above) is applied in-line with a central axis of the shaft 40 (FIG. 1A) for ease of operation.
 Returning to FIGS. 1A and 1B, the mop apparatuses of the present disclosure can be configured to dispense or distribute liquid delivered by the liquid dispense assembly 32 in various manners. For example, in one non-limiting embodiment, an interior passage of the shaft 40 is fluidly connected to a spout 300 arranged to deposit the so-delivered liquid onto the surface to be cleaned in close proximity to the media holder 42. Other exit or dispensing orifice constructions are equally acceptable.
 The cleaning systems, mop apparatus, liquid dispense assemblies and methods of the present disclosure present a marked improvement over previous designs. Individual containers of cleaning solution or other liquids are easily assembled to and removed from the mop apparatus. An operator is afforded the ability to easily dispense a volume of liquid in a controlled fashion by a simple, ergonomically-corrected pressing force applied to a plunger at the handling end of the mop apparatus.

The war between stereoscopic purists who insist on filming with two cameras and those that prefer the control and convenience of 2D-to-3D conversion could soon draw to an end with the best of both worlds in the form of the hybrid Tri-focal camera system, which IBC Big Screen audiences were offered a sneak peak of.
Howard Lukk (formerly with Disney & Pixar, now Director Pannon Entertainment, USA) bounced up to stage to give brief introduction and why when he was at Disney they got into it. Having worked on the tech side of Hanna Montana/Miley Cyrus they quickly became aware of the problems and limitations of shooting native 3D. "I was awfully jealous of the guys at animation who could render it out in 3D," he confessed. "Is there a new paradigm," he asked, and that is what lead to it.
At the same time Fraunhofer was working on a camera that pointed the way to hybrid 3D, with a prototype Arri with two side cameras. The Gen 3 camera was the one taken out into the real world (Berlin, if you will) and shot the short film that we were about to see.
Johannes Steurer (Principal Engineer, Arri Cine Technik, Germany) next took to the stage to explains how Arri came around to "stereo unaware" solutions with hybrid 3D based on the Alexa camer. Primary camera = established cine style digital camera. Two auxiliary cameras = small leightweight non-intrusive.
Synchronized recording of all three camera streams was critical. Coarse alignment by mechanical adjustment, fine alignment took place by stereo analyzer software (STAN). (Too much technical detail to do it all justice. Hopefully Arri will publish a white paper for those interested). He concluded with a picture of the camera, which at 10 kg wasn't (yet) significantly more elegant than native 3D cameras.
Ralf Schefer (Head of Image Processing & Interactive Media, Fraunhofer HHI, Germany) talked about how a virtual stereo pair is generated by DIBR (depth image based rendering). Depth estimation takes place with trifocal input with four initially estimated sparse disparity maps. He then showed the final result with rendered stereo image.
Howard then introduced the short film 'Make Believe', shot using the tri-focal camera. It was a sweet and fun film about the power of seeing your dream come true. The film cleverly demonstrated the versatility of the camera in a variety of situations and shooting conditions, with the stereo 3D holding up extremely well.
Howard said that the film had the usual problems of an film shoot, with the lead actress suffering a nervous meltdown in the first hour of shooting. (Not Katherine Heigel but an 11 year old German girl who spoke no English, with Howard the director speaking very little German). So impressively, as it was shot over just two to three days, they ended up having to shoot everything on the second day with steadicam.
At the panel discussion afterwards Sonke Kirchhof (Stereographer, reallifefilm, Germany) and Torsten Schimmer (DOP, Tectum, Germany) discussed how they got involved in the project and what their thoughts were about the new way of working. "Torsten said "it takes away a bit of responsibility that you normally have on set" with respect to a 3D productions, with the rendering done later. Howard interjected that it wasn't completely "stereo unaware" as they knew it was going to be 3D as they planned it, but then shot it in 2D (or rather, hybrid).
Sonke said that there you didn't need a DOP and stereographer on set in the traditional set, but you have a stereographer in a diffeent capacity. They went very realistic on lighting, with lots of lights from the outside. Howard confessed that they did have an extra person on set, watching the secondary camera, though this will probably done different in future shoots.
Ralf said that this could find particular use in television, where he felt that it is not economically viable to do native 3D shoots. Sonke observed that while there might be savings in production costs, there is still major developments that are needed in the post-production process for conversion. So while promising, it is still early days for tri-focal.
Johannes admitted that the camera used (3rd Gen) was over-engineered (laugh of recognition from the audience, familiar with Arri's German dilligence) but intentinally so, in order to then improve it. "There is a lot of improvements possible. There are lots of things that could benefit from depth mapping," he elaborated, "not just 3D but also 2D produtions for things like visual effects," he elaborated. Johannes said the response has been very encouraging from the visual effects community.
An unrecognisably beardy Kommer Kleijn from the audience admitted to being worried by cameras like this, if it leads to people thinking that stereography awareness is not required on set. He then asked how much information was ained from the satellite cameras. Howard said 30-40% was gained from the satellite cameras for stereo conversion. He pointed out in the credits how many people were involved from StereoD to do the conversion. "We need better secondary cameras, and that's not to fault the manufacturers of the cameras," because an awful lot is being asked from them to keep up with it. StereoD said they could shave 30% off the time for the 2D-to-3D stereoscopic conversion thanks to this process [a headline number, if any].
The question was then raised about live 3D use, but this was too much early day and could at best be done for preview. And with that the panel wrapped and the panelists were no doubt about the be mobbed by those keen to know more about and also try the system.

Twiddling My Thumbsticks: The Ballad of Gay Tony
Posted by Wooly Toots | Jun 10, 2013 | Twiddling My Thumbsticks | 0 |
I feel I need to explain myself. At the beginning of this year I made a decision to not buy any new games. The embarrassing stack of backlogged and unfinished games was just evidence that I had let things get out of control. Now, don't play innocent with me: We've all got a backlog. These forgotten and lost games once demanded our attention but were shelved for some other flashy, popular game that you just had to play or own. Well, I aim to give these games their due. Meanwhile, those hot new games will just get cheaper in price as their flames dim and they too are replaced. So my game reviews will not always be about the newest releases unless I am loaned a copy (which was the case with Tomb Raider – thanks again, Meatloaf). Anyway, that's why I spent some twiddle time with The Ballad of Gay Tony, the second of two expansion packs for GTA IV.
Back in 2008, GTA IV was a commercial and critical success, winning numerous awards, including several game-of-the-year awards. I agree that the game was deserving of all of it. I had never played a GTA game completely (what with me being an Xbox devotee and GTA being a Playstation thing) until San Andreas made the console jump. But after setting foot onto the streets of Liberty City, I was hooked. From April until September of 2008, the game rarely left the disc tray. It was a game to get lost in. In 2009, I enjoyed the first expansion, The Lost and Damned. It too was aces and added a few new features to the game with some retooled motorcycle controls. With really no bad memories from those two experiences, why did Ballad feel like a torturous chore to get through?
I was gifted a brand spanking new copy of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City for Uncanny X-Mas in 2010. It sat there in shrink-wrap (admit it, you've got an unwrapped game, too) until May of this year. I was excited to revisit the city I remembered so fondly, and at first it was pretty great. It was all there: The incredibly expansive city, teeming with residents just waiting to be carjacked or killed in crossfire. Vehicles, of every kind, just begging to be stolen – I quickly remembered which ones I favored and which were to be avoided. The impressive amount of licensed music used in the games has always been fantastically varied. Making the many radio stations a thrill to flip through. Radio Broker is still my favorite (the soundtrack, which was illegally downloaded in 2008, is now spinning as I write this). Driving through the city, I was surprised by how quickly it all came back to me. I knew these streets and where certain ones would lead. But holy shit I don't recall the controls being so bloody bad.
It took a handful of hours for the driving controls to become mastered again. Unless of course we're talking helicopters, because those controls never get better. Never. And get this: There are a lot of helicopter missions in this expansion, and they are a nightmare. Outside of vehicles, one must contend with a wackadoo camera. It swings wildly in the wrong direction at the worst of times. This includes shooting sequences. There were many missions that seemed impossible because the controls were so crap. But the game has always been set up so you must complete certain missions for others to become available, so it's either fight through them or quit. I did complete the expansion's story missions, although many times I contemplated quitting altogether. But early on it was decided that this was not a game to hunt cheevos on. Get in and get out was the path to take – 'cause did I mention the controls? What a difference five years make.
Now it wasn't all bad. This expansion added more new features. Like base-jumping from the tops of skyscrapers and out of airborne vehicles (more of them damn helicopters). It does give one another cool way to interact with the city. Car crashes and damage are so well done, and it's a hoot to become involved in them. Chaos lives, for random events can start at the flip of a switch. Piss off the wrong pedestrian and it could lead to some crazy and unexpected experiences. The city still lives beyond the scripted events and storyline. It's pretty cool how Rockstar overlapped the two expansions with each other and the core game itself. There's one mission that involves all the central playable characters. So by the time you've played through the main game and both expansions, you will have experienced the same mission from three different perspectives. Many of the personalities you interact with cross over from the main game to both expansions, further tying them together. And for all the whining, the controls themselves did become tolerable. Oh yeah, they added dancing and booty calls, too.
I won't spoil the story here. It's more of the same. You play another criminal, mixed up and working with other criminals. As Luis Fernando Lopez, an assistant to nightclub owner Tony "Gay Tony" Prince, you will resolve conflicts involving friends, family, and your boss. You will resolve conflicts with dance. OK. Enough. It's full of glitz, gangsters, drugs, sex and violence. So do I recommend it? Yes, if you are a fan of GTA IV and need more. But know what you are getting into. If you've never played GTA and the $15 price tag is appealing … well maybe put that money down toward pre-ordering GTA V.
Final verdict: Rent it … if you have to.
Wooly Toots is just a man. A man like any other. Although there is not a corner of geekdom that has escaped his eye, he doesn't always like what he sees. He is uncomfortable with the term "love slave."

Twiddling My Thumbsticks: Tomb Raider
Twiddling My Thumbsticks: Back in Black


This week I posted an article by another Black librarian and the jest of the article for me was that Black librarians (male & female) don't get the same level of respect our white counterparts do. However, someone bothered to claim this article was about Trump, while minimizing the message of the article. Everything is NOT about Donald Trump! Needless to say, I have now deleted that person on Facebook. I must acknowledge that he is a white male and I've known of his overly conservative, right-wing views and comments for some time, but the fault was mine in that I ignored them. Now, I'm done! Kick rocks, Buster Brown! You can post that crap on your page…Not mine! Don't go looking for him because he has been DELETED! The article in question was this, Librarians in the 21st Century: It is Becoming Impossible to Remain Neutral , by Stacie Williams, a Cleveland, Ohio Librarian.
Me: May I help you with something?
Patron: Is there someone here who can help me?
Me: What is it you need help with?
Patron: I need helping finding information. (still not acknowledging that I'm at a desk that is clearly marked Reference Desk or that I have a name badge on with my tile, Librarian).
Me: Sir/Ma'am, this is a reference desk. Anyone at this desk is professional trained and has a master's degree in library science and can assist you. Please don't ask that question again. Now, how may I help you?
As a public servant, I try not to profile or judge a person based on looks. Do I fall short? I'm sure I do! When helping students select books for pleasure reading, I always tell them not to judge the book based on the cover. This hits home with me everyday because when I feel myself moving in the direction to "judge" without having all the information. We could all stand to be more sensitive and accepting of each others' differences, but DO NOT claim that you understand being Black, when you've never been Black. By the way, having Black friends does not count!

High reliability. Today and in future.
The principle goal of our company is to produce products that meet the customer requirements with high reliability and customer satisfaction. High emphasis is laid on delivering the products to the customer within the quoted delivery date.
To introduce and develop new technologies, simultaneously train our employees to adapt the new technologies, securing the present quality management and further focus on future-oriented development.
By considering the protection of our environment as part of our business, we commit ourselves to comply with environmental regulations. We make efficient use of natural resources, minimize our waste production, use the best pollution prevention techniques and thus do our part to take care of the environment.
Our quality department works with the FARO Gage measuring arm. It is a high-precision 3D measuring device for smaller ranges and the best portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) in the industry.
The measuring instrument offers comparatively high measuring accuracy, optimizes the measurement resistance, reduces test times and generates automatic reports.
The FARO Gage, specially developed for the production, has a quick start-up time this enables parts and assemblies to be measured fast, and precise.
The FARO Gage is ideally suited for quality control tasks such as statistical process control (SPC) or for the determination of geometric dimensioning and tolerance (GD&T).
Other possible applications are new model inspection, 3D tests of car body parts or dimensional analyzes of composite tools. The FARO Gage replaces conventional measuring instruments such as measuring slides, height measuring devices or micrometers.
Thanks to the intuitive measurement software of this market-leading CMM from FARO, we can quickly and easily create individual workflows for repeated part measurements.


The first phase of the MDGs-post 20 discussions has come to a close: the Open Working Group (OWG) of the Rio process has presented its report to the UN Secretary- General http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/4518SDGs_FINAL_Proposal of OWG_19 July at 1320hrsver3.pdf. CSOs and progressive governments achieved a lot, in terms of issues they were able to raise, and keep, in the document. Nevertheless, many contentious points remain and will need to fought out in the next round of negotiations.
A second serious risk is complacency over the very issue that, 15 years ago, triggered the Millennium Declaration and MDGs: poverty and hunger. The SDG position on this issue raises the question how poverty and inequality are to be treated in the post-2015 development agenda, and how much longer the world community would be willing to tolerate hunger and income poverty. Please see my thoughts on Network Ideas.


Cat fines are a clear and present danger for all who sail with residual fuels. Centrifugal separators are the most important line of defence, but they become even more effective as part of an optimized whole. Alfa Laval works with the entire fuel line to boost both protection and energy efficiency.
Cat fines continue to cost ship owners and operators thousands of dollars in repairs and lost business. Statistics reveal that 40% of today's 500 cSt fuel has a cat fine level of 40 ppm, and that 50% of all operators cannot remove enough cat fines to reach engine manufacturer specifications. When new sulphur regulations take effect in 2020, the situation may grow even worse, as low-sulphur fuels often contain more cat fines – not less.
Keeping vessels safe demands responsive fuel treatment. Alfa Laval S separators have long led the way in this regard, with Alcap technology that adjusts automatically to oil composition. Today, the Alfa Laval adaptive fuel line is taking an even more comprehensive approach.
The Alfa Laval adaptive fuel line comprises all aspects of fuel treatment, including not only separation and fuel conditioning, but also the fuel feed. The latter is a key area where Alfa Laval FlowSync makes a significant difference.
FlowSync is an automatic separator feed pump control system that uses variable-speed pumps to synchronize the feed with the engine's actual fuel consumption. At the same time, it monitors the daily service tank and keeps it filled to a safe working level.
By seeing that only the necessary amount of fuel is pumped, FlowSync creates better conditions for the separator, allowing more fuel retention time in the separator bowl. This leads to even better cat fine removal, as well as energy savings within the separator. During slow steaming, FlowSync also saves pumping energy by eliminating needless fuel recirculation.
FlowSync is just one of several solutions within the Alfa Laval adaptive fuel line. Others detect elevated risk or loss of separation efficiency, enable safe management of multiple fuels (Alfa Laval FCM One) and recover waste fuel for reuse (Alfa Laval PureDry).
Through slow steaming synergies and a mix of groundbreaking technologies, the Alfa Laval adaptive fuel line offers peace of mind and more. When all aspects are considered, it creates a potential annual savings of as much as USD 1,000,000.

HK SFC Releases Regulations for Crypto Fund Managers
Hong Kong's securities regulator, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), has officially released regulations for crypto fund managers. The SFC published the regulatory circular on its website on Oct. 4.
In the 37-page document titled "Proforma Terms and Conditions for Licensed Corporations which Manage Portfolios that Invest in Virtual Assets," the SFC provided terms and conditions for corporations managing portfolios that invest in virtual assets.
Organization and management structure for Crypto Fund Managers
According to the document, virtual asset fund managers in Hong Kong should always maintain liquid capital of a minimum of 3 million Hong Kong dollars ($383,000) and its variable required liquid capital.
The SFC advised managers to have sufficient human and technical resources for the proper performance of duties as well as to adopt risk management and compliance policies, as well as policies for Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism.
Independent custodian
In order to ensure the safety of fund assets, the SFC also requires crypto fund managers to appoint a functionally independent custodian. The regulator emphasized that a virtual asset fund manager should ensure its fund assets are segregated from its own assets, as well as assets of other clients, unless fund assets are held in an omnibus client account.
If a manager receives fiat currency on behalf of the fund, one or more segregated bank accounts should be set up for holding clients' money, the SFC stated. Bank accounts should be established and maintained with an authorized financial institution in Hong Kong or a bank in a jurisdiction agreed to by the SFC, the document notes.
Additionally, the virtual asset fund manager should evaluate the features of diverse custodial arrangement, including hardware and software infrastructure, security controls over key generation, storage, management and transaction as well as the process of handling blockchain forks, the agency stated.
As reported, Hong Kong has established itself as one of the most progressive jurisdictions for cryptocurrencies and blockchain, as the country is one of the leading countries according to the number of registered digital currency exchanges. Earlier this year, the SFC issued guidance on security token offerings, intending to bring more clarity about the legal and regulatory requirements for the market.

Osaka's agent confirmed to AP that Osaka would no longer be working with Bajin, the 2018 WTA Coach of the Year, but said there would be no further comment. Under Bajin's tutelage, she held her first title in at Indian Wells in March a year ago and made her major breakthrough at Flushing Meadows by defeating Serena Williams in the final. "I thank him for his work and wish him all the best in the future", Osaka tweeted.
Just two weeks ago, the 21-year-old Haitian-Japanese tennis star won her second straight major title, the Australian Open. He is a former hitting partner of Grand Slam champions Serena Williams, Victoria Azarenka and Caroline Wozniacki. She has dual citizenship and now is based in Florida.
