    Abstract: The present disclosure generally pertains to water heating systems capable of detecting for dry fire conditions. A water heating system In accordance with one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a controller that determines at least one ambient condition, such as ambient temperature, and that then checks for a dry fire condition based on the ambient condition. For example, the controller may dynamically determine a sampling interval for a dry fire test based on the ambient condition. In another example, the controller may dynamically determine a threshold used for sensing a dry fire condition based on the ambient condition. Various other parameters used for testing for a dry fire condition may be based on the ambient condition in other examples.

    Abstract: A data communication system for facilitating communication between infrared devices having an initiating optical interface port that includes an IR emitter and an optical sensor. A receiving optical interface port includes an active IR emitter that emits a pulse at a predetermined interval and an optical sensor. A software application causes an Attention Signal to be emitted from the initiating IR emitter where the initiating IR emitter is positioned in detection range of the receiving optical sensor. The receiving optical interface port is controlled by a firmware application. The firmware is designed to discontinue the pulse of the active IR emitter upon detection of the Attention Signal. Once the normal pulse cycle is discontinued, the active IR emitter is then employed for transmitting data signals to the initiating optical interface port, thereby establishing an optical link between the initiating optical interface port and the receiving optical interface port. The normal operations of the IR emitter of the receiving optical interface port remain discontinued until communication between the ports is terminated, allowing data signals to be sent to the initiating optical sensor from the active IR emitter.

    Abstract: A system for controlling a temperature of a liquid residing within a tank comprises a tank, a first heating element, a first switch, a temperature-based switch, and logic. The first heating element is mounted on the tank, and the temperature-based switch is coupled to the first heating element and to the first switch. The logic is configured to control a state of the first switch based on a temperature of a liquid residing in the tank.
