  • Patent number: 9607303
    Abstract: A system, architecture and model for facilitating extensible messaging and interaction are provided. The message system may use a messaging architecture that includes a domain message model, and open message model and a wire format. The wire format may implement primitive data types that may be used by the open message model to define additional and/or more complex data formats. The open message model may further specify interaction paradigms, generic messages, and message and transport attributes. The generic messages may include payload data whose meaning and context may be defined using the domain message model. The domain message model may include a content definition model and an item type model for building data and object types and specifying data context and relationships. As such, the message system may use generic messages and formats to create different message and item types.

  • Patent number: 8256036
    Abstract: A lockable assembly for a urinal valve is provided. The lockable assembly includes a shaft assembly configured to engage portions of the urinal valve and a housing body configured to connect to the urinal valve and further configured to support the shaft assembly for axial movement. The lockable assembly is configured to allow selective operation of the urinal valve between a flushable state and a locked non-flushable state, wherein in a locked non-flushable state, the shaft assembly is prevented from moving in the axial direction and in a flushable state, axial movement of the shaft assembly urges the shaft assembly into contact with portions of the urinal valve.

  • Patent number: 8256037
    Abstract: A lockable assembly for a urinal valve is provided. The lockable assembly includes a shaft assembly configured to displace portions of the urinal valve and a housing body configured to connect to the urinal valve and further configured to support the shaft assembly. The lockable assembly is configured to allow selective operation of the urinal valve between an unlocked flushable state and a locked non-flushable state. In the locked non-flushable state, the shaft assembly is prevented from displacing portions of the urinal valve and in the unlocked flushable state, the shaft assembly is configured to displace portions of the urinal valve to allow a flow of water to pass through the urinal valve.
