Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic plumbing system including a wand with at least one transmission line extending through a wand hose. The transmission lines extend directly through a flow path of the wand hose to provide power and/or electronic signals to the electronic components of the wand. The electronic components may operably control the operation of the plumbing system via the transmission lines.

Abstract: In one aspect, a system that provides a context-aware code security solution within a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline is disclosed. During operation, the system can receive a set of security vulnerabilities generated by a set of security tools incorporated with the CI/CD pipeline. The system further receives contextual data associated with the set of security vulnerabilities from a set of DevOps tools used by the CI/CD pipeline. Next, the system augments the set of security vulnerabilities with the received contextual data. The system next prioritizes the augmented security vulnerabilities to identify a subset of high-priority vulnerabilities within the set of security vulnerabilities. The system subsequently notifies the owners of the identified subset of high-priority vulnerabilities to cause the subset of high-priority vulnerabilities to be fixed by the owners.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic plumbing fixture fitting, such as an electronic faucet, that includes an electronic valve, a mechanical valve, and a flow switch. The flow switch is used to determine if the mechanical valve is activated. The determination whether the mechanical valve is activated can be used to control the electronic valve.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic plumbing fixture fitting, such as an electronic faucet. The electronic plumbing fixture fitting includes a wand hose and a hose bracket. The hose bracket is operable to connect to a mounting shank and to the wand hose. The hose bracket is operable to position the wand hose between a mixed water outlet of a flow module and an inlet of the mounting shank such that a portion of the wand hose extends in a loop between the hose bracket and the inlet of the mounting shank. When installed, the hose bracket is in direct contact with the wand hose between the mixed water outlet of the flow module and the inlet of the mounting shank.

Abstract: A showerhead has at least a first set of nozzles and a second set of nozzles for discharging water. The showerhead discharges water according to one of multiple water delivery functions, where a first water delivery function corresponds to water being discharged through only the first set of nozzles, a second water delivery function corresponds to water being discharged through only the second set of nozzles and a third water delivery function corresponds to water being discharged through the first and second sets of nozzles simultaneously. The spacing between the first set of nozzles and the second set of nozzles is carefully selected so that the third water delivery function corresponds to the integrated nozzles of the first and second sets of nozzles. As a result, the third water delivery function provides a coherent and balanced water flow resulting in a more pleasant feel.

Abstract: Methods of applying metallic coatings to non-metallic, non-conductive, chemically active, corrosion-susceptible or otherwise uncoatable substrates are provided, wherein the metallic coatings strongly adhere to the substrates. First, an intermediate coating is applied on the substrate. Then, the intermediate coating is treated. A metallic coating is subsequently applied on the treated intermediate coating.

Abstract: A multi-function showerhead has at least a first set of nozzles forming first curves and a second set of nozzles forming second curves. The showerhead discharges water through the first curves when a first water delivery function is selected and through the second curves when a second water delivery function is selected. The first curves and the second curves are interleaved so that a coherent and balanced spray pattern is provided resulting in a pleasant showering experience, regardless of the selected water delivery function.
