  • Publication number: 20100032035
    Abstract: A safety valve system for regulating supply of water through a water supply line. The safety valve system includes a shut-off valve coupled with the water supply line, a flow indicator communicably coupled to the shut-off valve and a control panel communicably coupled to the flow indicator. The shut-off valve is configured to assume one of an open position and a closed position. The flow indicator includes a timer capable of being activated for a pre-determined time when the water starts flowing through the water supply line. The control panel is configured to control at least one of the timer and the shut-off valve. Further, the open position of the shut-off valve allows the water to flow through the water supply line and the closed position stops the flow of the water on elapsing of the pre-determined time, thereby regulating the supply of the water through the water supply line.

  • Patent number: 7116275
    Abstract: A reconfigurable array including: a plurality of imaging layer including an array of software addressable pixels; a conductive/non-conductive layer being positioned with respect to corresponding ones of the pixels such that addressing them causes corresponding portions of the conductive/non-conductive layer to be conductive; a radiator layer being positioned with respect to corresponding ones of the pixels such that addressing them defines at least one radiator array; a switching and summing layer positioned with respect to corresponding ones of the pixels such that the addressing them causes corresponding portions of switching and summing layer to switch and sum the signals; and, a plurality of inputs coupled to the imaging layers and being under software control to selectively activate the pixels.
