Abstract: A faucet is provided that electronically controls the flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed. The faucet illustratively includes a faucet body and a faucet handle. In some embodiments, the faucet may include a faucet body and be voice controlled. The faucet illustratively includes an inertial motion unit sensor mounted in the faucet handle to sense spatial orientation of the faucet handle. The faucet illustratively includes an electronic flow control system to adjust flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed. The faucet illustratively includes a controller configured to receive signals from the inertial motion unit sensor and control the electronic flow control system to adjust flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed based upon the position of the faucet handle.

Abstract: A kitchen faucet is provided that automatically fills a vessel up to a user-specified level without regard to a specific volume. The faucet illustratively includes a faucet body and a spray head that can be detached from the faucet body, such as a pull-down or pull-out faucet. The faucet illustratively includes a user interface for setting the level at which to fill the vessel (e.g., 20%, 40%, 75%, etc.). The spray head illustratively includes sensor(s) to determine a water level in the vessel in relation to its top edge. This allows a vessel to be filled to a user-specified level regardless of the vessel shape or size.

Abstract: An illuminating fixture includes forming a hub body, the hub body formed to include a cavity and an opening extending through an end of the hub body. The fixture further includes a mounting plate configured to be secured to the end of the hub body with the opening, and the mounting plate is configured to secure the hub body to an external surface. The hub body and/or the mounting plate includes a transparent portion that can illuminate an area surrounding the fixture. The fixture further includes a system of electronic components including a sensor system, a controller, and a light generating unit. The controller is configured to generate a light beam based on input from the sensor system. The sensor system may include a motion detection sensor and/or an ambient light sensor. An optical assembly of the fixture is configured to direct the light beam through the transparent portion.

Abstract: A faucet may be used to deliver water in a temperature and volume controlled manner. The faucet may also deliver light through the use of an integrated light fixture. The light fixture may emit at least one of visible and ultraviolet light. The light fixture may be selectively activated to display a number of types of light, intensities of light, and/or light colors. The activation of the light may be done through a touch sensor, optical sensor, and/or audio sensor.
