  • Patent number: 9808125
    Abstract: A vertically adjustable shower caddy system comprising a tension pole, a number of shelves and a number of securing element for attaching and reattaching the shelves and accessories to the tension pole. The tension pole is installed using an integrated tensioning mechanism allowing extension of the top and bottom extremities as to apply tension to the bath or shower floor and ceiling. The securing element uses clips that are opened and closed when attaching and reattaching the shelves to the tension pole rail. Repositioning a shelf to a new location on the tension pole therefore does not require the removal of the tension pole from a shower stall or bathtub/shower area, thereby saving a user a significant amount of time and effort.

  • Publication number: 20160032571
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a piezoelectric touch-controlled faucet, falling under the technical field of automatic faucets. The faucet comprises a first end connected to a water supply source, a second end having a water outlet for the faucet, and a passage arranged between the first end and the second end for directing the water from the first end to the second end. The faucet further comprises an electronic valve arranged on the passage, and a touch area arranged on the external surface of the passage covering a certain area, wherein a piezoelectric sensor is arranged underneath the touch area, and an electronic control unit is connected to the piezoelectric sensor to receive signal from the piezoelectric sensor for controlling the electronic valve on and off. The electronic control unit may include an automatic time delaying unit.

  • Publication number: 20160007196
    Abstract: A server apparatus is operable in communication with mobile client apparatuses for securely recording the occurrence of a transactional exchange meeting between holders of the mobile client apparatuses. A token component sets up a meeting arrangement mediated by the server and to communicate a first issued token to a first mobile client apparatus and a second issued token to a second mobile client apparatus. A token validator component receives at least a portion of each of the tokens from the mobile client apparatuses. The token validator component validates that the at least a portion of the token received from the first mobile client apparatus matches at least a portion of the second issued token, and vice-versa. A transaction recorder component creates and maintains a secure record of at least the request, the response, the validation of the tokens, and a completion signal from each of the mobile client apparatuses.

  • Publication number: 20150308666
    Abstract: An outdoor light comprises a bottom cap configured to allow the light to be either mounted onto a hard surface (e.g. wood, composite, etc.) or anchored into the soil. The bottom cap comprises at least one generally central aperture configured to receive a ground-engaging spike, and at least two peripheral apertures configured to receive fasteners (e.g. screws, bolts, nails, etc.). When the ground-engaging spike is mounted into the central aperture, the light can be anchored into the ground. When fasteners are mounted through the at least two peripheral apertures, the light can be mounted onto a hard surface.

  • Patent number: 8199917
    Abstract: A method and a system for unlocking a storage device that has become locked or cannot be unlocked are disclosed. A hint is generated from a key by removing bits and adding bits. A position of removed bits, a position of added bits, the number of removed bits and the number of added bits are stored and known securely. When the key cannot unlock a storage device corresponding to the key, the position of removed bits, the position of added bits, the number of removed bits (N) and the number of added bits are retrieved. Then, the added bits are removed in the hint. Each possible N bits are placed in the hint at the position of removed bits to generate 2N possible keys. Then, each of 2N possible key are tried to unlock the storage device.

  • Patent number: 8090978
    Abstract: A management apparatus operable for protecting data on a failing storage device in a data processing system including a storage array having at least one of a plurality of storage devices. The management apparatus includes a receiver component for receiving a failure message indicating that the plurality of storage devices comprises the failing storage device. An analyzer component is in communication with the receiver component and responsive to receipt of the failure message, for analyzing the failure message. A sender component is in communication with the analyzer component. The sender component is adapted for, in response to the analyzer component determining the failing storage device, sending a zoning message, the zoning message instructing the storage array to isolate the failing storage device, and sending a protect message. The protect message instructs the storage array to protect data on the failing storage device.
