Abstract: A server connected to a user input device issues a first stream of questions to the user input device to obtain responses with inputs for a financial plan model. Some of the inputs define fixed financial objectives. The server executes a financial plan model using the inputs. If the outputs of the financial plan model do not represent a financial plan that is feasible for meeting the fixed objectives, the server issues a second stream of questions to obtain from the user an indication of which fixed objectives can become variable objectives. On receipt of responses defining one or more variable objectives corresponding to some or all of the fixed objectives, the server executes the financial plan model using the variable objectives and issues a most optimal subset of financial plan outputs from amongst any feasible sets of financial plan outputs for presentation on the user input device.

Abstract: An automatic golf ball washer includes a substantially enclosed body that can receive one or more golf balls onto a rotary carriage that spins the golf ball within a supply of washing fluid and contacts the moving golf ball with stationary brushes within the body.

Abstract: A combustion chamber is disposed below the water container of a water heater and formed at least partially by a shell. A burner disposed within the combustion chamber and a fuel supply line is connected to the burner. A valve associated with the fuel supply line. A combustion chamber sensor is disposed within the combustion chamber and adapted to sense a rise in temperature indicative of an abnormality in the combustion chamber. A circuit connected to the sensor and the valve such that the circuit triggers the valve to shut off fuel to the burner in response to a sensed temperature by the sensor.
