Appl. No.:

13/108485

Inventors:

Andy Butler - Palo Alto CA, US
Jeffrey B. Godfrey - Fairfield CA, US
Todd Pope - Napa CA, US

International Classification:

F16L 11/00

US Classification:

138109

Abstract:

A system and method for connectors, piping systems, hoses, conduits, etc., to provide additional functionality beyond just watertight connectivity without their respective installations becoming cumbersome. In addition, current and future water faucet and water treatment/filtration systems need connection and actuation methods that provide additional functionality, and are simple in construction and easily installable.

International Classification:

G08B 23/00

US Classification:

3405731

Abstract:

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.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

702 25

Abstract:

A system and method for automatically monitoring water quality information directly by using sensors to test water in a plumbing system or indirectly by monitoring government or other warnings that can be received wireless or over wireline. In response the system and method identify a water treatment/enhancement protocol and perform this protocol on the water supply in the house/building.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

702 45

Abstract:

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.

US Classification:

210262, 210259, 210287

Abstract:

A modular filter system is provided with one or more modules that can be interchangeable, depending upon the specific application or specific health or environmental issue presented. Disclosed combinations can include one or more of any of the following modules in any relative position to one another: (a) a microbiological contaminant mitigation module, preferably in the form of an inverted u-shaped hollow fiber filter module wherein the fibers have ends potted on the downstream side and that consists essentially of hydrophilic fibers for water filtration with a small amount of hydrophobic fibers for venting of entrapped air; (b) a first chemical mitigation module, preferably in the form of an adsorption module comprising carbon or the combination of carbon and a deionization resin; and (c) a second chemical mitigation module, preferably in the form of a deionization resin module. Modules including a carbon bed or a resin bed may be equipped with a pair of hydrophobic foam bed restraints that apply opposing axial pressure to the bed in all operating conditions.
