Abstract: A power management method for use by a blade server or other networked computer having a CPU, memory, network interface, and timer. The method includes monitoring processes in the computer, determining that the computer has become idle, and switching the CPU and memory from an active state to a low power state while maintaining the network interface and timer in an active state. Power management for multicore processors is also provided. A power supply system can be used for providing shared power to groups of the networked computers that each have a similar active power demand. Each PSU in the power supply system is capable of supplying the active power demand at an efficiency greater than a preselected desired minimum efficiency. Changes in power requirements resulting from a computer switching between low power and active states can be accommodated by switching a single PSU into or out of the system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a showerhead that allows a bather to switch among at least three different water delivery functions. In the first function, the showerhead delivers a concentrated fluttering spray at a rate not to exceed 1.5 GPM (5.75 GPM). In the second function, the showerhead delivers a combined spray pattern, wherein the fluttering spray and a radially dispersed precision spray are simultaneously delivered to the bather at a rate not to exceed 2.0 GPM (7.57 L/min) for the combined water flow. In the third function, the showerhead delivers the precision spray pattern at a rate not to exceed 2.0 L/min (7.57 GPM). The combination spray pattern is effected without compromising either the desirable massaging and cleaning effect of water delivery or the inherent water conservation benefits.

Abstract: The present invention provides a water saving showerhead that allows a bather to switch among at least three different water delivery functions. In the first function, the showerhead delivers a concentrated fluttering spray. In the second function, the showerhead delivers a combined spray pattern, wherein the fluttering spray and a radially dispersed precision spray are simultaneously delivered to the bather. In the third function, the showerhead delivers the precision spray pattern. The combination spray pattern is effected without compromising either the desirable massaging and cleaning effect of water delivery or the inherent water conservation benefits. In addition, the showerhead of the present invention provides an automatic return feature for return of the showerhead to the first function when water pressure to the showerhead falls below a predetermined bottom threshold.

In the second function, the showerhead delivers a combined spray pattern, wherein the fluttering spray and a radially dispersed precision spray are simultaneously delivered to the bather at a rate not to exceed 2.5 GPM for the combined water flow. In the third function, the showerhead delivers the precision spray pattern at a rate not to exceed 2.5 GPM. The combination spray pattern is effected without compromising either the desirable massaging and cleaning effect of water delivery or the inherent water conservation benefits.

Abstract: An improvement in the form of an attachment for staple guns including alignment pins aligned with a staple delivery position and located sufficiently close to the staple delivery position to enable staple delivery within a mounting aperture in a frame of a vinyl window or other vinyl construction finishing product. The alignment pins may be secured to the attachment or formed integrally with the attachment or be part of a separate clip securable to the attachment.
