Abstract: A water shutoff and discharge control apparatus for sprinklers comprises a water intake apparatus mounted to a support seat and swung back-and-forth by a sprinkling control assembly. The water intake apparatus has a tube with a platform and multiple outlets thereon, and both end sections of the tube have multiple control channels each connecting to the interior of the tube for the extension of a control rod there-through. Each control rod has a flat surface with a water-sealing member and a water-sealing area disposed thereon to match to the outlet, permitting the water-sealing member to abut watertight against an internal plane surface of the platform and slide along with the movement of the control rod to correspond to the outlet for water shutoff/discharge control thereby. Besides, the contact area between the control rod and the platform can be reduced, facilitating easier and more efforts-saving operation of the control rod thereby.

Abstract: A spray oscillating control apparatus for sprinklers is equipped with a sprinkling control assembly to swing a spray body into different angles wherein a gear train assembly with an impeller is mounted into the sprinkling control assembly and work in linking mechanism with a spray oscillating control apparatus composed of a water duct having two inlet orifices and a spray control device having a linkage gear wheel and two covering blocks. The linkage gear wheel is directly meshed with one matched gear of the gear train assembly and the two covering blocks are matched to the two inlet orifices, permitting the linkage gear wheel and the two covering blocks to rotate along with the gear train assembly and, thus, switch the amount of intake water supply in a gradual manner so that spray sprinkled can oscillate rhythmically from far-to-near and near-to-far in distance, achieving even distribution of the spray onto a lawn.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic water inlet switching device for an oscillating sprinkler that has a sprinkle control unit having a blade equipped gear transmission set housed therein, working together with a water inlet switching device having an operation unit and a movable swinging seat. The bottom of the movable swinging seat is provided with two water stop ends in opposite to two outlet holes defined on a coupling unit with a concaved bounded space placed at the center thereof. An action stick of the operation unit is operable inside the bounded space so that in the water inlet switching operation the swinging angle of the action stick is limited within the bounded space and the action stick will move against the push end thereof so as to produce a built-up force to instantaneously spring away the movable swinging seat no matter what the water pressure is high or low in operation.

Abstract: Independent phase output voltage control for a 3-phase 4-wire DC/AC inverter, for example, is provided. With the independent phase output voltage control, all three phase output voltages from the DC/AC inverter can be separately and effectively controlled to provide balanced 3-phase voltages from the DC/AC inverter to an unbalanced load, and/or to provide unbalanced 3-phase voltages from the DC/AC inverter to a balanced or unbalanced load. The independent phase output voltage control method can be applied to an inverter power system, with outputs of N-phase (N+1) wire configurations. Here, N can be any integer number greater than zero.

Abstract: A water sprayer assembly includes a threaded fitting having a threaded outer periphery and a passage is defined through the threaded fitting. A first end of the threaded fitting has an enlarged first end and a knurl surface is defined in an inner periphery of the passage. The threaded fitting is connected to a sprayer head. A pipe has a first end extending through the passage of the threaded fitting and being in flush with a second end of the threaded fitting. An outer surface of the pipe is securely pressed on the knurl surface of the threaded fitting.

Abstract: The present invention is a controller for producing a dual port function from a single port memory with an improved memory cycle time. An address or control signal transition for one port generates an access request signal for that port. The access request signal both (1) blocks an access request by the other port for its duration and (2) generates a series of signals for a memory access for the selected port. A multiplexer for providing addresses to the memory core from two ports is switched to select a second port while a first port access is in progress. The output of the multiplexer is not enabled until the memory core access is completed. Thus, the set-up time for the second set of addresses is allowed to overlap the memory core access time for the first set of addresses thereby reducing overall cycle time.
