A laminar flow water jet having a housing with a water channel flowing therethrough. A water input admits water into the housing and the water channel. One or more filter member(s) is provided along the water channel. One or more jetting element in communication with the housing jets a laminar flow tube or segment from the jet. One or more lighting element(s) emits light and communicates with the laminar flow tube or segment. An additive supply element communicates with the laminar flow tube or segment, where a laminar water flow is jetted through the jetting element to form the laminar flow tube or segment which is lit by the light emitted by the lighting element and receives an additive stream from the additive supply element to produce wave effects within the laminar flow tube or segment.

A fluid pump includes a pump body enclosing a first cavity and a second cavity, a first flexible member disposed within the first cavity, a second flexible member disposed within the second cavity, and a drive shaft extending between and attached to each of the first flexible member and the second flexible member. The drive shaft is configured to slide back and forth within the pump body. The pump also includes a first shift valve and a second shift valve disposed between the first flexible member and the second flexible member, operatively coupled to deliver a drive fluid to drive fluid chambers in alternating sequence. Some fluid pumps include a housing defining a modular-receiving cavity and a modular insert secured within the modular-receiving cavity by an interference fit. Methods of manufacturing and using fluid pumps are also disclosed.

A pH balancing solution dispenser having an upper body portion and a lower dispenser body portion. An interior support portion is provided with a dispensing grid and an at least one piercing mechanism thereon. A dispenser lid and an at least one dispensing mechanism are provided wherein a container of pH balancing solution is placed within the upper body portion and situated in communication with the piercing mechanism. The container is pierced and opened and the pH balancing solution flows from the container through the dispensing grid and is stored for distribution by the at least one dispensing mechanism. A unit controller can be provided to meter a dose of pH solution when instructed by the pH balancing solution dispenser to balance the pH of the body of water based on the estimation made by the unit controller using the measured operational time.

A tubular light-emitting diode (LED) lamp including a planar printed circuit board (PCB) with a first side and a second side, wherein the planar PCB is positioned within a tubular sheath; a first plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted on the first side, wherein at least one of the first plurality of LEDs is mounted substantially perpendicular to the first side; a second plurality of LEDs mounted on the second side, wherein at least one of the second plurality of LEDs is mounted substantially perpendicular to the second side; an electrical end cap coupled at a first end of the PCB; and a non-electrical end cap coupled at a second end of the PCB, wherein the first end and the second end are at opposite ends of the tubular sheath. In one example, the LED lamp includes a capacitor reactance ballasted power supply for supplying voltage to the LEDs.
摘要:
A user can receive content relating to a common topic, such as a project, through a radio-type interface. A frequency or other indicator associated with the project can be selected on a user device. The common topic can be presented to the user, based on the selected frequency and/or an authentication. Presented information can also be provided in a common format requested by the user or as a function of the rendering device. The common format can be facilitated by a conversion component that can change information from a first format to at least a second format. The information can also be presented in more than one format.
摘要:
An electronically controlled pool or spa actuator plumbed in a water line within a water system, having an at least one valve with a valve stem in the plumbed water line within the water system, an at least one actuator, an at least one actuator housing, an at least one electronic controller in communication with the actuator, an at least one shaft coupled to the actuator and said valve; an at least one shaft encoding device; and an at least one user interface with multiple indicator elements indicating the position of valve. A controller controlling the actuator and allowing for the programming of a custom set point. The custom set point being used to define a safe area, the valve operating within the safe area and requiring that an override input be depressed to operate the valve outside of the safe area.
