摘要： The invention provides a radio frequency (RF) valve control system that replaces mechanical systems that physically links a button or a handle to a flush valve or hard wired electronic control systems that physically links a sensor/electronic switch to a valve actuator within a plumbing installation. The new system is characterized by two modules, a user interface module (UIM) for locating at or adjacent a plumbing fixture (such as a water closet or urinal), and a valve interface module (VIM) operatively connected to a flush valve actuator or a valve in the water supply line of the plumbing fixture. The UIM generally has the function of providing an RF valve control signal to the VIM and the VIM has the functions of receiving, analysing, and responding to the RF valve control signal and sending a signal to the valve actuator to initiate a flush cycle or initiating a valve control process to control a valve within the water supply line to start or stop water flow to the fixture. The system may be deployed as a single UIM/VIM pair or as multiple UIM/VIM pairs within a multi-fixture installation. In each case, each UIM/VIM pair communicates with its respective UIM or VIM in both a learning and active mode.

摘要： A system allowing the wireless transfer of data between a first device having a microcontroller and a second device when the first and second devices are positioned adjacent each other is described. The system includes a reader circuit and tag circuit. The reader circuit is operatively connected to the first device and provides oscillation energy to the tag circuit when the tag circuit is coupled to the reader circuit. The reader circuit receives coded information from the tag circuit and delivers the coded information to the microcontroller. The tag circuit includes a coil and logic enabling patterned oscillation at least two discrete frequencies such that the patterned oscillation is representative of coded information within the tag circuit. The system may be configured to a variety of product pairs, including consumer product pairs, to control the operation of the product pair or collect information about the operation of the product pair.

摘要： A system allowing the wireless transfer of data between a fluid filtering apparatus having a controller and a filter when the filter is positioned within the fluid filtering apparatus is described. The system includes a reader circuit and tag circuit in which the tag circuit includes read-only information and an enable bit responsive to a disable signal from the reader circuit to permanently de-authorize use of the filter with the fluid filtering apparatus. The controller is operatively connected to the reader circuit for interpreting the coded information and may modify or eliminate fluid flow within the fluid filtering apparatus, and/or provide a visible or audible warning to the user on the basis of filter manufacturer specifications such as volume and/or time of filter use.

摘要： An on-demand electronic faucet system for providing a faucet with a flow of water in response to a stimulus. A sensor unit is positioned remote from the faucet and in wireless communication with a wireless valve control unit. The wireless valve control unit controls a valve in the water supply line that feeds the faucet. In response to a stimulus, the sensor signals the wireless valve control unit to change the status of the valve in the water supply line from open to closed or closed to open and other states affecting flow and temperature.

摘要： The present invention relates to faucets of the type used in sinks, lavatories, urinals and the like. Typically these faucets are made from metal or plated plastics and are electrically conductive. A module affixed to the outlet end of the faucet senses temperature or other fluid properties and generates a signal. A valve controller receives the generated signal and positions a control valve accordingly. The generated signal is communicated from the module to the valve controller by passing the signal along the conduit itself.
