  • Publication number: 20250109886
    Abstract: A water heating system includes a storage tank, at least one heating unit, and a control system. The storage tank includes a recirculation supply port, a return port arranged above the recirculation supply port, and a tank temperature sensor arranged between the recirculation supply port and the return port in a vertical direction. The at least one heating unit includes a water inlet port fluidly coupled to the recirculation supply port and a water outlet port fluidly coupled to the return port. The control system is configured to receive a signal from the tank temperature sensor indicative of a temperature of water in the storage tank, determine a need for heating based on the signal, activate the at least one heating unit to draw water from the storage tank, heat the water, return the heated water to the storage tank, and reduce a rate at which the water is heated.

  • Patent number: 9828707
    Abstract: A parasitic Acari barrier fabric that impedes parasitic Acari movement, traps parasitic Acari, and/or exterminates parasitic Acari thereon or therein. The barrier fabric includes an outer face formed from open mesh construction having evenly spaced openings formed thereon that are adapted for passing parasitic Acari from outside the fabric to inside the fabric, an inner face that is breathable and configured for moisture vapor transmission from a wearer's skin therethrough but is impenetrable to parasitic Acari passed to the inside of the fabric, and an intermediate spacer that extends between and interconnects the inner face to the outer face to form the parasitic Acari barrier fabric.

  • Patent number: 9499996
    Abstract: An automatically deployed water removal apparatus for use with a solid, flexible swimming pool cover to remove rainwater caught by the cover. In one embodiment, a head with a water inlet pivots from a stored position along the edge of a pool to a deployed position near the center of a deployed cover as the cover advances to its deployed, pool-covering position. In another embodiment, a water inlet is attached to and positioned in part by a tether cord that may be reeled out during cover deployment and reeled in during retraction of the cover.

  • Patent number: 8996981
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for managing forms, for example, in portable document format (PDF) documents or other electronic documents. An electronic document that includes a form having multiple form fields is obtained. Each of the form fields is associated with multiple form field definitions. A data grid that shows the form field definitions for each of the form fields in the form is rendered for display. User input relative to the data grid is obtained, and the user input indicates a requested change to several of the form fields. The requested change to the plurality of the form fields is implemented in the electronic document in response to the user input.

  • Patent number: 8873736
    Abstract: A process and system for capturing site maintenance and repair information and creating a closeout package in near real time. The process involves an on-site technician calling into a call center to establishing voice communication with the call center personnel. The personnel connect to the cloud to access photos that are to be taken by and automatically uploaded to the cloud using the technician's smart device. The technician then goes through a predetermined list of work items or actions while verbally describing to the call center personnel each item and while taking photos of key items. The call center personnel record in their computer item descriptions, information and photos in real time as the work is completed. Upon finishing the on-site work, the technician signs out and the call center personnel trigger the auto-generation of a closeout package that is immediately available to the customer via web access.
