Publication number: 20230287734Abstract: A vertical shade has a head rail suspending a shade. The shade moves horizontally along the head rail which has components for moving the shade. The shade has vertical pleats that divide the fabric into vertical segments. Each pleat extends from the top of the shade to the bottom of the shade. The vertical segments can fold together into a folded position. Each of the hangers is individually attached to each vertical segment and also attached to the head rail. The hanger can be formed as a hole on the rectangular profile. The hanger hole is preferably reinforced using a reinforcing edge strip to prevent fabric from tearing when hung from the head rail. The edge strip is selected from the group of an eyelet, a grommet, a clip, or a ring.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2022Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventor: Jesus Estrada

Patent number: 10267317Abstract: Apparatus, including a pumping system, is provided featuring a pump and a control circuit. The pump has an impeller housing configured with a slit at the top for trapped air to leave the impeller housing once the pump has been submerged. The control circuit is configured to cycle the pump on and off for a predetermined number of cycles so that the trapped air will float to the top and be expelled out the slit when the pump is cycled off. The control circuit is configured to leave the pump on after the predetermined number of cycles.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2013Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Flow Control LLC.Inventors: Jeffrey Lopes, Jesus Estrada, Kevin Teed

Patent number: 9825563Abstract: Apparatus features a microcontroller configured to: receive signaling containing information about a measured change of a magnetic field created by a magnetic circuit driving a motor; and determine corresponding signaling containing information about the speed of rotation of the motor, based upon the signaling received. The microcontroller provides control signaling containing information to control the operation of the motor, including where the motor control is used to control the flow of fluids from a pump. A Hall Effect Sensor is used to sense the magnetic flux and provide the signaling in the form of a feedback signal for implementing motor control. The motor housing has a slot, the Hall Effect sensor is mounted external the motor housing over the slot, and a ferromagnetic bridge is arranged over the Hall Effect sensor to close the magnetic circuit and cause more flux to go through the Hall Effect sensor.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2015Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Flow Control LLCInventors: Jesus Estrada, Akshaykumar Patel
