    Abstract: Disclosed is a bearing configured to couple a faucet spout to a faucet body. The bearing includes a plurality of fingers extending parallel to a central axis of the bearing. The plurality of fingers is configured to engage with the faucet spout at an intermediate position between a first end of the bearing and a second end of the bearing. The fingers are configured to exert an outward pressure to the faucet spout. The fingers are also configured to compress in a substantially axial direction.

    Abstract: A sensor system can include a housing and a lens carrier at least partially disposed within the housing. The lens carrier defines a cylindrical structure including a number of housings disposed at a midpoint of the lens carrier, the housings configured to hold a number of sensor assemblies therein. The sensor assemblies include a first sensor assembly positioned proximate a second sensor assembly, each including a sensor lens and a sensor. The first sensor assembly is configured to emit a signal and the second sensor assembly is configured to receive the emitted signal. Positioned between the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly, and at least partially disposed around each assembly, is a gasket. The gasket extends from a base of the first sensor and the second sensor to second face of the lens carrier, and is configured to block an emitted signal from the first sensor assembly.
