Abstract: An acetal co-polymer valve body and/or spin ring in a solenoid operated dishwasher or washing machine valve has been found to reduce a likelihood of breaking when subjected to freezing and thawing conditions over the polypropylene and glass filled nylon components normally employed in the marketplace.

Abstract: A wireless audio distribution system for wirelessly transmitting audio from a wireless transmitter to one or more speakers located remotely from the transmitter. A number of channels of audio are acoustically connected to a wireless transmitter unit. The wireless transmitter unit is configured for potential placement within a standard audio/video equipment rack, without the wireless audio signals suffering from substantial degradation resulting from such placement. The channels of audio are at least selectively transmitted wirelessly to an amplifier/receiver module located on a wall, contained within a wall or positioned within a ceiling. In the situation where the amplifier/receiver module is recessed within the wall, a low profile cover is attached to the wall, concealing the amplifier/receiver unit from view. A modular design method is utilized, allowing for the altering of pre-installed products at a later date. Components may be selected from across multiple product lines.

Abstract: A mounting system for attaching a device to a surface and housing a wireless receiver for communicating a wireless signal to the device. According to various embodiments, the mounting system includes a surface mount portion, a device mount portion, and a receiver housing assembly. The surface mount portion is configured to attach to the surface and is operatively connected to the device mount portion. The receiver housing is connected to the device mount portion and is sized and configured to house a wireless receiver for receiving and communicating a wireless high definition signal to a device mounted to the mounting system.
