  • Water conservation system
    Patent number: 5452740
    Abstract: A water conservation system including a thermostatically controlled valve means effectively diverts water from the hot water tank to a storage tank until the temperature or the water therefrom reaches a predetermined temperature. The stored water is then caused to be mixed with the water directed to the cold water conduit initially be pressure in the storage tank and subsequently by siphon action.

  • Smoke and fire detector for remote sensing
    Patent number: 4833458
    Abstract: A smoke and fire detector apparatus includes a base for mounting the apparatus on a wall and a tubular extension having one end attached to the base and an opposite end adapted to extend through an aperture formed in a ceiling of a room into an attic space. A sensing circuit, an audio alarm device and a power supply are mounted on the base and electrically connected to one another. A smoke sensor is mounted on the opposite end of the tubular extension and is electrically connected to the sensing circuit through the tubular extension. A second smoke sensor can be mounted on the base and electrically connected with the sensing circuit.
