    Abstract: A control system for a water heater generally includes a water heater controller configured to receive upper and lower sensor temperatures associated with water in the respective upper and lower portions of the tank. The water heater controller is configured to determine a value indicative of a portion of water in the tank at a desired set-point temperature as a function of the upper sensor temperature, the lower sensor temperature, and the desired set-point temperature. The water heater controller is configured to wirelessly transmit at least one signal indicative of said value indicative of the portion of water in the tank at the desired set-point temperature. A user interface includes a plurality of selectively illuminated segmented portions. The user interface is configured to receive said value from the water heater controller and to selectively illuminate a number of segmented portions representative of said value.

    Abstract: A control for a water heater is provided that comprises a pressure switch for sensing a predetermined level of airflow sufficient for maintaining proper burner operation, and a temperature sensing means for sensing the temperature of the water in the tank. The control further comprises a processor for controlling the operation of the burner to maintain the water temperature above a predetermined value. When the processor receives a signal from the pressure switch or temperature switch indicating a malfunction, the processor shuts down the burner and subsequently attempts to restart the burner. The processor will lock-out further burner operation after a predetermined number of consecutive shut downs occurs, and will communicate any malfunction information to a remote display device.

A removable and replaceable dot mask plate having a pattern of holes is sandwiched between a body and a back plate of the printhead and certain of the plungers of the solenoids are aligned with holes in the dot mask and, in a forward extended position, extend through the holes to engage the membrane. The dot mask masks or blocks other plungers of the printhead.

    Abstract: A method for treating high-strength, low-alloy steel includes controlling material responses, such as the crystal structure of the steel, through various processing steps. More specifically, the method includes cold treating the steel to achieve predictable increases in a minimum ultimate tensile strength or desired changes in the crystal structure of the steel. In one embodiment, cold treating the steel operates to controllably increase the minimum ultimate tensile strength of the steel within increasing a specified maximum ultimate tensile strength of the steel. Stated otherwise, cold treating the steel may reduce or narrow a minimum-to-maximum ultimate tensile strength range such that the minimum ultimate tensile strength is closer to the specified maximum ultimate tensile strength.
