Abstract: A specialty nozzle is provided having a pattern adjustment valve that may be adjusted to irrigate a substantially rectangular irrigation area. The nozzle may be further adjusted to irrigate three different substantially rectangular irrigation areas. The nozzle is adjustable to function as a left strip nozzle, right strip nozzle, and side strip nozzle. The strip irrigation setting may be selected by pressing down and rotating a deflector to directly actuate the valve. The nozzle may also include a flow reduction valve to set the size of the rectangular irrigation areas and may be adjusted by actuation of an outer wall of the nozzle. Other specialty nozzles are provided having a fixed pattern template to irrigate a rectangular area, such as left strip, right strip, or side strip.

Abstract: A cleaning head for an in-floor pool cleaning system is provided. The cleaning head includes a sleeve having a passage and an insert extending through the passage of the sleeve. The insert includes a flow path and an aperture, wherein the flow path is a curved, such as a question mark shape, and exits through the aperture. The insert is moveable between a first position with the aperture retained with in the sleeve and a second position with the aperture extending beyond the sleeve. The flow path may include an overturn at the aperture. The insert includes a nozzle, a nozzle housing, an upper guide, a lower guide and a weight with the flow path extending through each component. The nozzle includes an angled inlet opening that corresponds to an angled outlet opening of the nozzle housing that engage each other when the nozzle is coupled within the nozzle housing.

Abstract: At least one embodiment is directed to an insert for measuring a parameter of the muscular-skeletal system. The insert can be temporary or permanent. In one embodiment, the insert is prosthetic component for a single compartment of the knee. The insert comprises a support structure and a support structure respectively having an articular surface and a load bearing surface. The height of the insert is less than 10 millimeters. At least one internal cavity is formed when support structures are coupled together for housing electronic circuitry, sensors, and the power source. The cavity can be sterilized through a port. A membrane is between the port and the cavity. A sterilization gas permeates the membrane for sterilizing cavity. The membrane reduces the ingress of solids and liquids to the cavity.
