  • Spying with Your Robot Vacuum Cleaner: Eavesdropping Via Lidar Sensors
    Spying with Your Robot Vacuum Cleaner: Eavesdropping via Lidar Sensors Sriram Sami Yimin Dai Sean Rui Xiang Tan National University of Singapore National University of Singapore National University of Singapore [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Nirupam Roy Jun Han University of Maryland, College Park National University of Singapore [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Victim’s Home Eavesdropping on private conversations is one of the most common “194-70-6839” “194-70-6839” yet detrimental threats to privacy. A number of recent works have explored side-channels on smart devices for recording sounds with- out permission. This paper presents LidarPhone, a novel acoustic side-channel attack through the lidar sensors equipped in popular commodity robot vacuum cleaners. The core idea is to repurpose the lidar to a laser-based microphone that can sense sounds from subtle vibrations induced on nearby objects. LidarPhone carefully processes and extracts traces of sound signals from inherently noisy laser reflections to capture privacy sensitive information (such as “Listening” via Lidar Sensor Remote Attacker speech emitted by a victim’s computer speaker as the victim is en- gaged in a teleconferencing meeting; or known music clips from Figure 1: Figure depicts the LidarPhone attack, where the ad- television shows emitted by a victim’s TV set, potentially leaking versary remotely exploits the lidar sensor equipped on a vic- the victim’s political orientation or viewing preferences).

  • Colorfields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring Maintenance Instructions Colorfields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring Maintenance Instructions
    ColorFields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring Maintenance Instructions ColorFields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring Maintenance Instructions INTRODUCTION The following are recommended maintenance procedures for Mannington ColorFields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring. Proper and regular maintenance is necessary to protect and prolong the life of the floor. A good maintenance routine involves the following: • Frequent sweeping, mopping, or vacuuming to control loose soil and grit. • Prompt removal of stains and spills. • Cleaning the floor with a properly diluted quality non-alkaline floor cleaner. • Applying two coats of recommended cross-linked acrylic floor polish/sealer. INITIAL JOB-SITE CLEANUP MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Initial Cleaning Procedure: • Dust mop the area with a Microfiber dust mop before cleaning to remove dirt and soil. • For moderate to heavy construction soil during the first cleaning operation, apply a neutral pH cleaner through a properly set up floor scrubber. • Follow manufacturers’ recommendations for the proper dilution ratio for a heavily soiled area. Using a higher dilution may dull the floor. • Apply the cleaner through the floor scrubber with the vacuum turned off. • Allow the cleaner to work for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not allow the solution to dry out. • Once the cleaner has had time to work, scrub again. This time, turn on the vacuum system to remove the cleaning solution, rinse water and dirt. A second cleaning, using the same procedures, may be required on jobsites that are particularly dirty. It is better to repeat the procedures than to use harsher chemicals or methods that are more aggressive. After the job site dirt has been removed, reduce the neutral floor cleaner to a dilution ratio for moderate to light cleaning.
