Abstract:
A connection assembly for showerheads includes a first part and a second part, wherein the first part includes a flange and a cylindrical portion which extends through the second part and a protrusion extends radially from the cylindrical portion and is rested on a distal end of the second part. The first part is connected with a hose and the second part is connected to showerhead. The second part is rotatably mounted to the first part between the protrusion and the flange. Therefore, the hose is not rotated with the rotation of the showerhead.
Abstract:
A shower head assembly includes a hollow handle and a head. A base plate is engaged with the head and a rotatable member is connected to the head and a fixed plate is secured to the rotatable member. Two tubular members are located between the fixed plate and the base plate. Two springs are received in two respective interiors of the two tubular members and biased between the fixed plate and the base plate. A pattern plate having a plurality of pattern holes is fixed to the rotatable member. A filtering assembly including a cap, an adjusting member with a plurality of ribs, a first filter, a separation ring with a plurality of holes and a second filter. A bolt extends through the filtering assembly and connecting the filtering assembly to the pattern plate. A volume control device is engaged with a connection hole defined through a wall of the handle so as to control water volume through the handle.
Abstract:
A shower head assembly includes a first shower head connected to a pipe and a three-way member is connected to the pipe. The three-way member communicates with the pipe, the first shower head and a hose which is connected to a second shower head. A tube is fixedly received in the three-way member and in communication between two paths respectively which are in communication with the first shower head and the hose. A rod is movably inserted in the tube and has two seal members on two ends thereof. A control mechanism is connected to the handle of the second shower head and able to cause the change of water pressure to move the rod such that the user can operate the control mechanism on the handle of the second shower head to control the water flow.
Abstract:
A method of detecting misfire events in an engine uses system identification technology. A linear model is determined for estimating engine firing events based on engine speed fluctuations. The linear model is represented as a difference equation. A Kalman filter is applied to the difference equation to determine unknown parameters of the linear model. Misfire events in the engine are detected based on the linear model.
Abstract:
A low profile collector and seal assembly for sealing the open end of a container of an electrochemical cell and providing venting of pressurized gases. An electrochemical cell has a can with a closed bottom end and an open top end, positive and negative electrodes disposed in the can, and a collector and seal assembly disposed in the open top end of the can for closing the open top end of the can. The collector and seal assembly includes a current collector and an annular seal that move relative to each other from a sealed position to a vented position when the internal cell pressure reaches a pressure threshold to vent pressurized gases.
