Patent number: 9587384Abstract: A modular sensor activated faucet assembly provides a spout that can be coupled and removed from its mounting base quickly and easily for installation and service. A water tight connection can be established between the mounting base and the spout without the use of tools or additional mechanical connections, thus allowing the spout to be installed by simply plugging into its base. A seamless spout construction defining a hollow interior bifurcated by integral internal wall structure provides a wet chamber between its mounting end and the outlet and a flow pipe inside the spout. The modular base provides a cooperating flow pipe. When the spout is mounted onto the base, the flow pipes are configured to nest together in close relation such that one or more seals can be disposed between the flow pipes to provide a water tight seal between the spout and base.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Zurn Industries, LLCInventors: John Kevin Schoolcraft, Craig Saunders, Paul Stephens, Jason Tilk, Alex Velet, Michael Liebal, Sean M.

Patent number: 8376185Abstract: A system and method of detecting fuel theft at a fuel dispenser. The dispenser has a primary flow meter, an auxiliary flow detection device positioned at an entrance of a dispenser, and an auxiliary dispenser shutoff system. A rate of flow through the primary flow meter and a rate of flow through the auxiliary flow detection device are calculated. The primary flow meter rate of flow and the auxiliary flow detection device rate of flow are compared. If the difference exceeds a threshold, a shutoff signal is provided to the auxiliary dispenser shutoff system to stop fuel flow through the dispenser.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2009Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Gilbarco Inc.Inventors: Michael Liebal, Paul Kaper, Chris Scott, Brent K. Price
