Abstract: A control valve for a drinking water fountain includes a valve housing having an inside formed with a receiving chamber, and a valve seat mounted in the receiving chamber of the valve housing. The valve seat is forced into the receiving chamber of the valve housing by a rib and groove engagement so that the valve seat is secured in the receiving chamber of the valve housing. Thus, the valve seat is forced into the receiving chamber of the valve housing by a rib and groove engagement so that the valve seat is closely secured in the receiving chamber of the valve housing and cannot be rotated relative to the valve housing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rotary valve structure, which has a rotary water passage structure including a switching component and fixed hole. A first water-guide portion and second water-guide portion are placed laterally onto the switching component, whilst a first punch hole and second punch hole are placed separately onto the fixed hole. A coupling portion is placed between the first water-guide portion and second water-guide portion of the switching component. When the first water-guide portion and second water-guide portion of the switching component are placed opposite to the first punch hole and second punch hole of the fixed hole respectively, the first punch hole and second punch hole form a through-flow structure that prevents water from contacting the metal portions of the housing.

Abstract: A drinking water fountain includes a valve body, a heating device, a control valve, a cold water inlet conduit, a cold water outlet conduit, a heating conduit, and a hot water inlet conduit. Thus, the drinking water fountain can provide drinking water, including cold water, hot water and mixed water. In addition, the control valve is used to control the drinking water flowing outward from the water outlet pipe, including cold water, hot water and mixed water, thereby facilitating a user drinking the drinking water.

Abstract: A flash storage device for transferring data to and from a host. The flash storage uses a controller to data transfer in the flash storage device, a buffer to temporarily store data for transfer between the host and the flash storage device, a first table for maintaining storage information relating to the flash storage; and a second table for maintaining information relating to the association of virtual sectors to the logical sectors, wherein the controller transfers data between the host and the flash storage and updates the first table and the second table to reflect the transfer of the data. The first table and the second table contain include addressing and status information for a more efficient and improved data transfer.

Abstract: A wasted water draining valve for a drinking water fountain includes a valve body having a bottom having a first side formed with a wasted water inlet channel and a second side formed with a wasted water outlet channel connected to the inlet channel. Thus, the wasted water inlet channel of the valve body is inclined relative to the wasted water outlet channel, so that the wasted water inlet channel of the valve body is directly connected to the wasted water outlet channel without having to provide a U-shaped tube to connect the wasted water inlet channel and the wasted water outlet channel of the valve body, thereby decreasing costs of fabrication.

Abstract: A data management for a flash memory device is disclosed. The device includes a screen virtual sector table and a virtual unit versus physical unit table (V2P table) for each block. With the auxiliary of the screen virtual sector table and v2p table, the data programming into the target block of the flash memory is in accordance with the data receiving order, which is from lower page number to higher page number in case the target block is free. The data can be written into the target block contains data already through one or two temporal block(s). The conventional LBA data transfer protocol can still be applied to the flash memory device of this invention.

Abstract: A valve device includes a housing including a peripheral valve seat extended into a chamber, to separate the chamber into two separated spaces. A valve member includes an outer peripheral groove to receive a sealing ring for engaging with the peripheral valve seat of the housing, to make a seal between the valve member and the peripheral valve seat, and a casing is secured to the valve member. A spring member may bias the casing away from the peripheral valve seat, to force the sealing ring of the valve member against the peripheral valve seat, and to make a fluid tight seal between the valve member and the peripheral valve seat.
