Abstract: An environmental control device for aquariums, ponds, or terrariums includes: a casing; an environmental control device, adapted to control an environmental condition of the aquarium, pond, or terrarium; and an NFC communication device configured to communicate with an external unit. The external unit is configured to exchange data with the NFC communication device so as to monitor and/or control an operating parameter of the environmental control device or an operating condition of the environmental control device or environmental condition of the aquarium, pond or terrarium.

Abstract: A metering unit for the controlled supply of a substance inside an aquarium tank comprises a containment box and a dosimetric pump which is actuated by an electric motor, both being associated with the containment box. The containment box has at least a first connection element and at least a second connection element which is suitable for being connected to a corresponding first connection element of an additional similar metering unit.

Abstract: An eyeglass frame shape measurement device includes an optical measurement unit, a probe unit, a holding unit that holds the optical measurement unit and the probe unit, a changing portion that integrally moves the optical measurement unit and the probe unit with respect to an eyeglass frame to change a measurement position with respect to a groove of a rim of the eyeglass frame, and a controller that controls an operation of the eyeglass frame shape measurement device. The controller controls an operation of the changing portion to measure the groove of the rim of the eyeglass frame, acquires a cross-sectional shape of the groove of the rim of the eyeglass frame based on a detection result detected by the optical measurement unit, and acquires a shape of the rim of the eyeglass frame based on a detection result detected by the probe unit.

Abstract: A fluid-dynamic pump which is suitable for circulating water in an aquarium includes a rotary device, an electric motor configured to move the rotary device, a pump body which houses a printed circuit board which that controls the electric motor and a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the water of the aquarium. The temperature sensor is positioned on the pump body.
