摘要： A faucet assembly with a vertical riser that is easier to install both for an initial installation and a retrofit installation. The faucet assembly has a main faucet body that defines an axially extending cavity. A positive locking mechanism in the form of a resiliently compressible star lock washer is disposed to rest on the bottom of the cavity, which is provided with an opening that communicates with a pressurized water service. A hollow adapter sleeve is inserted into the cavity on top of the star lock washer. An O-ring between the exterior of the adapter sleeve and the surrounding sidewall that defines the cavity effects a water-tight fit between the adapter sleeve and the sidewall. The tapered threaded end of the riser is detachably connected to the adapter sleeve by being screwed into the tapered threaded opening of the adapter sleeve. A retaining nut that is slidably mounted over the riser is screwed onto the main faucet body to confine the adapter sleeve in the cavity and prevent axial movement of the adapter sleeve out of the cavity. The tightening of the retaining nut to the main faucet body applies pressure to the adapter sleeve that compresses the star lock washer, which prevents rotation of the main faucet body relative to the adapter sleeve and the riser.

摘要： A spray valve is configured with a fluid path that always provides dynamic water flow on both opposite surfaces of the seating flange of the valve stem when the valve is almost completely closed and when the valve is just beginning to be opened. This equalization of dynamic pressure from the incoming water flow tends to reduce the frequency of vibration that is imposed upon the valve stem and biasing member by the incoming water flow. A check valve is built into the spray valve, which has a trigger lock and a selectively removable spray disk. The valve has an outer sleeve that surrounds the valve's base member and defines a gap therebetween and is formed of mechanical shock-resilient, heat-insulating material.

摘要： A display timing generator is provided for selecting line types and providing synchronization timing signals for video signals. The display timing generator provides programmability for the user to select line types for a frame to be displayed on a display. The line types defining rise and fall times, synchronization shapes, blanking levels and horizontal and vertical timings for providing a desired display format to different display types. A plurality of programmable parameters for pulse width, horizontal timing and voltage amplitude allow a user to define timing variations associated with a given line type. The display timing generator also includes a generic mode for allowing a programmer to select line types for particular groupings of lines.

摘要： A fluid flow control device is provided as an integral component of a drainage system for sinks in a commercial environment. This fluid flow control device includes a housing that is disposed beneath a waste valve and configured to define a flow control insert that is configured and disposed to interrupt the flow of fluid leaving the waste valve and before that flow reaches a grease interceptor. Both the housing and flow control insert are desirably made as a unitary structure from cast metal. Alternatively, the housing can define a ledge that receives a removable disk forming the flow control insert. In both embodiments, the flow control insert that has an opening through the insert that is sized for a flow area according to the needs of the fluid flows that are anticipated in the drainage system in question.

摘要： An integrated circuit is divided into functional blocks. The integrated circuit includes current source based circuitry such as Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL), Current Mode Logic (CML), or Source Coupled Logic (SCL) Isolation blocks (14-20) are placed in signal paths to and from each functional block. A multiple output bias driver circuit (13) couples to each functional block. The multiple output bias driver circuit (13) provides a signal for enabling and disabling current sources of a functional block. A bias control logic circuit (12) controls the isolation blocks (14-20) and the multiple output bias driver (13). A functional block that is idle in the operation of the integrated circuit is shut down by the bias control logic circuit (12) to conserve power. The multiple output bias driver circuit (13) receives control signals from the bias control logic circuit (12) to turn off current sources in the idle functional block. Isolation blocks (14-20) receive control signals from the bias control logic circuit (12) to isolate the idle functional block and to provide a predetermined logic level in the signal paths from the idle functional to prevent propagation of an erroneous signal.
