  • Patent number: 11543278
    Abstract: A system for remotely measuring the characteristics of water passing through a plumbing control device (PCD) includes a sensor within the interior of the PCD. The sensor is configured to measure characteristics of the water to obtain measured data. The sensor is also linked to a microcontroller of the PCD. An antenna board is linked, and configured to transmit power, to both the microcontroller and the sensor. A mobile device is configured to locate the antenna board. The mobile device transmits power to the antenna board which, in turn, transmits power to the microcontroller and the sensor. When power is not being transmitted from the antenna board, the microcontroller and the sensor are powered off.

  • Patent number: 11544565
    Abstract: The invention provides for the evaluation of semantic closeness of a source data file relative to candidate data files. The system includes an artificial neural network and processing intelligence that derives a property vector from extractable measurable properties of a data file. The property vector is mapped to related semantic properties for that same data file and such that, during ANN training, pairwise similarity/dissimilarity in property is mapped, during towards corresponding pairwise semantic similarity/dissimilarity in semantic space to preserve semantic relationships. Based on comparisons between generated property vectors in continuous multi-dimensional property space, the system and method assess, rank, and then recommend and/or filter semantically close or semantically disparate candidate files from a query from a user that includes the data file.

  • Publication number: 20220403632
    Abstract: A backflow preventer including a body having an inlet for connection to an upstream portion of a plumbing system and an outlet for connection to a downstream portion of the plumbing system, a first check valve and a second check valve located in the body for preventing the reverse flow of water between the outlet and the inlet. An inlet pressure zone is positioned between the inlet and the first check valve, an outlet pressure zone is positioned between the outlet and the second check valve, and an intermediate pressure zone is positioned between the first and the second check valves. Position sensors sense the positions of the check valves, and pressure sensors sense the pressures in the zone. A controller in communication with the position sensors and the pressure sensors calculates the opening and closing pressures of the check valves.

  • Patent number: 11531660
    Abstract: A method includes determining whether the first version is an alias with respect to the second version, the alias being defined as an equivalent version of the YANG module. Based at least in part on a determination that the first version is the alias with respect to the second version, a version alias extension is inserted into a revision label of the first and/or second version. Based on a determination that the second version is backwards compatible with respect to the first version, a version backwards compatible extension is inserted into the revision label of the second version. Based at least in part on a determination that the second version is not backwards compatible with respect to the first version, a version non-backwards compatible extension is inserted into the revision label of the second version.
