  • Patent number: 12252886
    Abstract: A floating modular stair system includes a wall mounting plate that is attachable to a vertical wall, and a base mounting plate that is anchorable to a horizontal floor. A monostringer beam is attachable to the wall mounting plate and to the base mounting plate. The monostringer beam includes an integrated hook attachment for variable angle adjustment and attachment to the wall mounting plate. Stair tread brackets are attachable to the monostringer beam for equal spacing of stair treads after installation of the monostringer beam to the wall mounting plate and to the base mounting plate. Each of the stair tread brackets are also designed for individual variable angle adjustment and leveling after attachment to the monostringer beam, and the stair tread brackets are rotatable through an adjustable anchor point about a fixed pivot anchor point to level the stair treads of the floating modular stair system.

  • Publication number: 20230213221
    Abstract: A humidifying system includes a water panel, and a distribution tray, where the distribution tray provides water to the water panel. The system includes at least one eductor fluidly coupled to the distribution tray and a scale control tray. The system also includes a valve assembly fluidly coupled to a water supply at a first inlet and is fluidly coupled to the at least one eductor via an outlet, where the valve assembly controls water flow through the at least one eductor. The valve assembly includes a second inlet in fluid communication with the scale control tray, where a wastewater flow from the scale control tray through the second inlet is controlled by a first valve and a freshwater flow from the water supply through the first inlet is controlled by a second valve. A configuration of the first valve is based on an operational state of the second valve.

  • Publication number: 20230039274
    Abstract: A pump may generally include a frame including a reservoir. The reservoir stores a hydraulic fluid. The pump may also include a motor assembly supported by the frame and a pump assembly operably driven by the motor assembly. The pump assembly is in fluid communication with the reservoir and configured to dispense the hydraulic fluid out of the frame. The pump assembly includes a first piston and a second piston, wherein the first piston dispenses hydraulic fluid out of the frame between a first pressure and a second pressure greater than the first pressure, and the second piston dispenses hydraulic fluid out of the frame between the first pressure and a third pressure, the third pressure being greater than the second pressure.
