    摘要: A computer based method for generating a pulsating water flow through a faucet in response to a filter status, comprising the steps of: determining a water flow rate through a first filter; determining a duration of water flow at said water flow rate; determining the filtered volume of water filtered by said first filter based upon said water flow rate and duration of water flow; determining the filter status by comparing said filtered volume of water and an expected rated service life value of said first filter; and causing the faucet to expel pulsating water when the faucet is in the on state, when the filter status represents that remaining filter life is below a first threshold.

    摘要: A system and method for preventing damage and undesirable situations/conditions from occurring in point of use (POU) or point of entry (POE) water systems that are not in regular use. This invention may be implemented in residential, non-residential situations or constructions where it can add value, such as commercial properties that undergo seasonal and/or other periods of disuse. In cold climate areas, faucets should be turned on and run to prevent water in the pipes from freezing, which can cause pipes to burst or leak and result in significant property damage. In all climates rust, corrosion, particles, contamination, and biofilm, can develop and/or settle in the pipes if faucets are not turned on periodically, resulting in sub-standard water quality when the system is eventually used. Also, if water is left to sit in residential pipes, other effects/conditions can take place over time that generally effect color, taste and order of the water if it does not periodically move through the system.

    摘要: A system and method for automatically detecting unwanted continuous flow of water or other liquids, either from intentional use or from a leak in the faucet/plumbing system and for automatically turning off the water faucet or dispensing apparatus when unwanted flow conditions are detected to prevent water from being wasted, overflowing and/or causing property damage.

    摘要: A system and method for automatically monitoring hand sanitation practices in a lavatory. The embodiments involve identifying a user, determining a proper hand sanitation protocol for the user, and monitoring the user to ensure the user satisfies the protocol. If the user does not satisfy the protocol the user may be subject to various alarms. The results of the monitoring can be stored for later analysis.

    摘要: A surgical retractor with interchangeable retractor blades allows the retractor blades to be positioned in an incision before being side-loaded into the retractor body and locked in place. The surgical retractor uses a connector head with a circumferential groove that fits in a side-loading socket and is locked in place with a cam that fits in the circumferential groove. A release lever releases the cam and allows the retractor blades to be removed.
