  • Publication number: 20230093257
    Abstract: A sensor system can include a housing and a lens carrier at least partially disposed within the housing. The lens carrier defines a cylindrical structure including a number of housings disposed at a midpoint of the lens carrier, the housings configured to hold a number of sensor assemblies therein. The sensor assemblies include a first sensor assembly positioned proximate a second sensor assembly, each including a sensor lens and a sensor. The first sensor assembly is configured to emit a signal and the second sensor assembly is configured to receive the emitted signal. Positioned between the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly, and at least partially disposed around each assembly, is a gasket. The gasket extends from a base of the first sensor and the second sensor to second face of the lens carrier, and is configured to block an emitted signal from the first sensor assembly.

  • Publication number: 20220229532
    Abstract: A controller for use in a wet environment such as an ablutionary setting includes a display for displaying information related to the operation of a fluid delivery system. The display includes a light source, a semi-transparent layer, and a touch interface configured to provide an input to the controller. The light source and the semi-transparent layer are configured such that the semi-transparent layer absorbs or reflects light transmitted towards the light source and allows light transmitted from the light source to be transmitted from the display, such that the light source appears hidden when light is not transmitted from the light source.
