Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a feeding system. The feeding system includes a housing that substantially forms an exterior surface of the feeding system, inside the housing includes an arm configured to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise to a plurality of positions, wherein the arm is configured to support a can; a can opener at a first position of the plurality of positions; and an opening of the housing at a second position of the plurality of positions.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a feeding system. The feeding system includes a housing that substantially forms an exterior surface of the feeding system, inside the housing includes an arm configured to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise to a plurality of positions, wherein the arm is configured to support a can; a can opener at a first position of the plurality of positions; and an opening of the housing at a second position of the plurality of positions. A sealed-can barrel is situated to receive and store a stack of sealed cans within the housing, and a cam-operated latch device is provided to release a bottommost can of the stack onto the arm. In timed operations, a cam-operated retainer device is configured to hold a plurality of sealed cans of the stack above the bottommost sealed can while the bottommost sealed can is being released onto the arm.

Abstract: An LED luminaire for a track lighting system, that takes the form of a track section rather than a more customary separate device attached to a track section. The new luminaire has an elongated, extruded housing configured to correspond to the exterior of standard track sections to visually blend in with the overall track system. A circuit board, mounting a plurality of longitudinally aligned LED elements, extends for the full length of the housing, providing downward illumination through an optic member closing the bottom of the housing. The LED housing has a plug-in type connection to an adjacent track section providing physical alignment, electrical power and data functions. Successive luminaires can be connected together, and the new luminaires can be connected to additional standard track sections. The new luminaires can be installed throughout an overall track lighting system, substantially without limitation as to number and/or order.

Abstract: A valve assembly capable of converting a small leak of a device into a measurable, relatively larger or “burst” flow event is described. In certain embodiments, the valve assembly includes a compliant chamber and, following pressurization of the device, permits flow when the pressure in the compliant chamber drops to a configured fill pressure and restricts (or prevents) flow when the pressure in the compliant chamber increases to a shut-off pressure. The disclosed valve assemblies may be incorporated into a leak detection assembly capable of transmitting usage and/or alarm data to a central service.
