Abstract: A refrigerator wall has an outer shell an inner liner, a cavity formed by the outer shell and the inner liner, insulation filling the cavity, and a vacuum insulation panel positioned in the cavity such that at least one edge of the vacuum insulation panel is located in a substantially maximum volume of insulation.

Abstract: An electrical protection system includes a household electronic device and an electrical protection unit permanently interfaced therewith. The household electronic device is configured for detachable electric connection to an external household source and to utilize electrical power received from the household source. The electronic device operates according to an electrical power waveform, e.g., the device exhibits the electrical power waveform during operation. The electrical protection unit is configured to allow electrical power to pass from the household source to the electronic device if the power waveform is within a waveform profile, and to prevent electrical power from passing from the household source to the electronic device if the power waveform is outside a fault deviation of the waveform profile. The waveform profile is indicative of normal electrical operation of the electronic device, across its entire operational range.

Abstract: In accordance with the present disclosure, an icemaker combination assembly is provided and comprises a refrigerator having a freezer compartment and a fresh food compartment. The freezer compartment can have a freezer door assembly and the fresh food compartment can have a fresh food door assembly. The icemaker combination further comprises a first icemaker having a first ice cube storage bin disposed within the freezer compartment and a second icemaker having a second ice cube storage bin disposed within the fresh food compartment. The first and second icemakers having a production activation level selected from the group consisting of the first icemaker active only, the second icemaker active only, the first and the second icemakers both active, and the first and the second icemakers both inactive. The first and second icemakers can selectively and simultaneously produce and independently store ice.

Abstract: An assembly of a seal unit and a plunger-like member movable relative to the seal unit, the seal unit comprising a washer-like resilient seal member having an opening therethrough and press-fittingly receiving the plunger therethrough in such a manner that an inner peripheral portion of the washer-like seal member is turned into substantially parallel sealing and wiping engagement with the plunger while being substantially transverse to the remainder of washer-like seal member.

Abstract: A control unit having a plurality of pneumatically operated valve constructions for controlling the fluid flow from a first fluid source in relation to the condition of a second fluid source that is adapted to be inter-connected to the pneumatically operated valve constructions, the control unit having a self-contained housing structure carrying the valve constructions therein in substantially a circular array and having a centrally arranged inlet substantially concentric to the circular array and being adapted to be interconnected to the first fluid source.

Abstract: A pneumatic indicator device having a housing carrying a movable flag that in one position thereof visually indicates one pneumatic condition of the device and in another position thereof visually indicates another pneumatic condition of the device, the housing also carrying an electrical switch which is operatively associated with the movable flag so that the switch electrically indicates the positions of the flag for remote indication purposes.

Abstract: An indicator construction having a housing carrying a movable flag member and a movable plunger operatively associated with the flag member to cause movement thereof upon movement of the plunger, a spring member being operatively interconnected to the plunger and operatively interconnected to the movable flag member to cause movement thereof upon movement of the plunger.

Abstract: A condition responsive valve construction having a housing provided with an inlet and an outlet leading to and from a chamber therein. A self-contained valve seat and movable valve member unit is removably disposed in the chamber to control the interconnection between the inlet and the outlet. Condition responsive means are carried by the housing for controlling movement of the valve member relative to the valve seat in relation to the condition sensed by the condition responsive means. The self-contained unit is either a direct acting unit or a reverse acting unit while still being adapted to be operated by the same condition responsive means whereby the condition responsive valve construction can be either direct acting or reverse acting, depending upon the self-contained unit removably disposed in the chamber thereof.

Abstract: A valve construction having a housing provided with an inlet and an outlet and a movable valve seat disposed between the inlet and the outlet. A movable valve member is provided for opening and closing the valve seat. A condition responsive unit is operatively associated with the valve member to move the valve member relative to the valve seat in response to the conditions sensed by the condition responsive unit. A snap opening unit is interconnected to the valve seat to rapidly move the valve seat away from the valve member when the valve member has initially opened the valve seat a certain amount.
