Publication number: 20250163689Abstract: A water control system including a showerhead and a tub faucet. The faucet has a valve configured to automatically restrict fluid flow through the faucet and direct fluid to the showerhead as a function of a parameter, such as a predetermined water temperature. The faucet has many modes of operation, including a Reset Mode, an Auto-Divert Mode, a Bypass Mode, and a Cold Mode. A flow control device generates minimal back-pressure when in the Reset Mode such that water does not undesirably back flow to a shower head.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2025Publication date: May 22, 2025Inventors: Jeffrey S. DOSS, Jason SWANSON, Heather L. PINSON, John LOCKHART

Patent number: 11586276Abstract: A system for generating complementary data for a visual display that includes one or plurality of wearable sensors that collect tracking data for a users position, orientation, and movement. The sensor(s) are in communication with at least one processor that may be configured to receive tracking data, identify missing tracking data, generate complementary data to substitute for missing tracking data, generate a 3D model comprised of tracking data and complementary data, and communicate the 3D model to a display. Complementary tracking data may be generated by comparison to a key pose library, by comparison to past tracking data, or by inverse kinematics.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: PENUMBRA, INC.Inventors: Hans Winold, Joseph White, Ryan Corniel, Mark Samuel Gutentag, John Lockhart

Patent number: 10808857Abstract: A multifunctional restrictive valve for controlling the flow of water therethrough. The valve has a main body with a flow channel through the main body. The main body receives water upstream thereof through an inlet port and passes it out through an outlet port at the downstream end of the body. A flow control assembly is located in the flow channel and includes a temperature sensor/actuator acting on a piston to move, when the temperature sensor heats up the piston, to block water flow control ports. The flow control assembly also includes an override feature wherein the piston is located within a slide and the flow control ports are located in the slide. By moving the slide away from the piston when the piston is blocking the flow control ports, the temperature sensor and piston may be overridden and flow may resume through the main body.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Evolve Technologies, LLCInventors: Michael Brown, John Lockhart, Jeffrey S.
