  • Publication number: 20140155047
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing the toilet training process of a child are provided. In one aspect, a computer system for managing toilet training a person is provided. The computer system includes a memory device, a display device, and a processor in communication with the memory device and the display device. The processor is programmed to provide a first set of functionality accessible using the display device. The processor is also programmed to provide a set of enhanced functionality configured in a disabled status. The processor is further programmed to utilize the first set of functionality to identify completion of a toilet training milestone, and reconfigure the second set of enhanced functionality to an enabled status based on identifying completion of the toilet training milestone.

  • Patent number: 8715507
    Abstract: Some examples includes a flow-through stormwater sump having a bottom and defining an inlet opening, an outlet opening and a top access opening, an inlet conduit coupled to the flow-through stormwater sump at the inlet opening, an outlet conduit coupled to the flow-through stormwater sump at the outlet opening and a flow-path baffle disposed in the stormwater sump, the flow-path baffle being substantially planar and defining a plurality of openings, the flow-path baffle oriented such that a centerline of the inlet conduit intersects a major plane of the baffle at a point and a centerline of the outlet conduit intersects the major plane at a further point, the flow-path baffle disposed in the stormwater sump in a direct impingement inlet flow-path of the inlet conduit and a direct impingement outlet back-flow-path of the outlet conduit.

  • Publication number: 20060139185
    Abstract: An input device, to provide input to a computer system, includes a body defining multiple fluid channels. A movable element is located within each of the fluid channels so as to be movable and responsive to a fluid flow through the respective fluid channel. A light sensor is furthermore associated with each movable element, such that movement of the movable element varies an intensity of light to which the respective light sensor is exposed. The input device generates an input signal in accordance with the intensity of the light to which at least one light sensor of the input device is exposed.
