  • Publication number: 20170044747
    Abstract: The system may provide for storage of liquid cleaning concentrate and connection with a water supply. The system may include a mixing container in which both fluids are accurately mixed, and that can empty into a cleaning solution storage container which may be connected to a faucet for dispensing the solution, and/or water. The system may include a control system to operate suitable valves, pumps to control the flow of fluids through connecting lines, and which is adaptable to numerous configurations and uses with the capability of dispensing cleaning solution at a wide range of flow rates, including low rates that may be desired for hand and produce washing. Dispensing is either programmed, activated by the user, or controlled by the user without system interruption until there is no more concentrate. The system eliminates the possibility of contamination of the water supply due to backflow of cleaner.

  • Patent number: 6674425
    Abstract: An integrated graphic tablet/touchpad can be toggled between an absolute (graphic tablet) input mode and a relative (touchpad) input mode. In the relative mode, a graphics window appears on an associated display only when pressure is exerted on an input surface, and a cursor can be moved by stroking the input surface. In contrast, in the absolute mode the window is always displayed, and the cursor is relocated to a new position in the window each time a stylus or finger is moved onto the input surface. A graphic tablet armrest bridge is also disclosed, as is a one-piece stick-on device that converts a portion of the area of a position sensitive cursor control input device into a cursor control area having cursor control characteristics that are different than those of the remainder of the input device.
