  • Publication number: 20230101496
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for automated testing, treatment, and maintenance of fluid such as water disposed in swimming pools, spas, and other bodies of water, wherein the water testing system includes precise control over the amount of reagent used in testing, and the frequency of testing of any measurable aspect of the test water, wherein the system is optimized for minimal power consumption and reduced complexity of a system for optimized testing and flushing of test water mixed with reagents from a testing reservoir using a fluid flow path system, and the use of fewer moving parts in the fluid flow path to reduce failure and increase the usable life of the water testing system.

  • Publication number: 20080313042
    Abstract: Building brand awareness that enables users to personally endorse and drive branded messages to a plurality of targets that have a high likelihood of being receptive to the message and associated branding. To ensure that the brand messaging is kept consistent with the desires of the advertiser a repository of brand capsules is available for driving users to select from. To propagate a brand capsule into the community the driving user selects the brand capsule from the repository and associates it with an anticipated event the driving user wishes to associate with the chosen brand. After identification of the targets the brand capsule is forwarded to the targets via a transport mechanism appropriate for carrying the encapsulated imagery and data to the target users. By sending out the brand capsule the driving user implicitly or explicitly endorses the brand by associating it with a personal event, message or request.
