A new and improved vacuum cleaner is disclosed which would be powered solely by battery means andor self-generated power means. At this time, the position of irradiation of the refractive-index-change-inducing light onto the optical waveguide is swung in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the optical waveguide. The fiber itself can optionally include a thin film resistive heater overlying the device, and a plurality of nested microcapillary tubes can optionally provide a plurality of successive concentric heaters overlying the device. The system also includes a registry manager, communicatively coupled to the provisioning manager, that determines whether an abbreviated dialing code is registered.
