  • Publication number: 20240042355
    Abstract: A modular filtration platform having at least one manifold head and at least one respective filter cartridge assembly. Each manifold head is connected to one another to establish a water flow in a series or parallel manner. Each filter cartridge assembly is releasably secured from rotation relative to the manifold head by a locking mechanism. An aperture on the filter cartridge assembly annular collar mates with a protruding resilient extension on either the manifold head or support bracket. Alternatively, an aperture on the filter cartridge assembly annular collar and an aperture on the manifold head annular collar mate with a protruding member from a locking ring extending through both apertures. An integrated sensor package may be integrated with the system for true managed water visible/audible indications and Wi-Fi interface to facilitate virtually instantaneous response times for filtration needs.

  • Publication number: 20060184295
    Abstract: On-board datalogger apparatus and service methods for use with vehicles are disclosed. A disclosed method of servicing a vehicle receives a non-volatile storage device containing vehicle data, couples the non-volatile storage device to a shared vehicle service system associated with a service facility, and conveys at least some of the vehicle data from the non-volatile storage device to the shared vehicle service system. The method also processes at least some of the vehicle data to generate corrective information configured to affect a repair of the vehicle, and stores the corrective information in the non-volatile storage device.
