Abstract: A plumbing junction including a casing with ports, a junction inside the casing, leading tubes connected to the ports and water conducting tubes having a proximal end thereof connected to the junction and passing through the leading tubes and ports out the casing with distal end thereof connected to an end unit outside the connection box is disclosed and described. Embodiments of the invention include installation and maintenance of the water connecting tube, as well as a water leak detection.

Abstract: A furnace, including: a metallic pot, for housing fire; and means for cooling the metallic pot, the means being a water tank attaching an external wall of the metallic pot and/or an air blower, for producing an airstream attaching an internal wall of the metallic pot.

Abstract: A laser system, comprising: a laser cavity, a gain medium positioned within the laser cavity, a pump source optically coupled to the gain medium, an input minor positioned at a first end of the laser cavity, an output coupler positioned at a second end of the laser cavity, a first etalon positioned within the laser cavity, and a q-switching element positioned within the laser cavity, wherein the laser system is configured to provide a laser beam at a selected wavelength ranging of 1700 to 3000 nm with a tunable spectral range of at least 10 nm. A method for using the laser system e.g., for producing a pulsed laser beam is further disclosed.
