  • Publication number: 20170199573
    Abstract: One variation of a dynamic tactile interface includes a tactile layer defining a peripheral region and a deformable region adjacent the peripheral region; a substrate coupled to the peripheral region, a fluid conduit adjacent the deformable region, a fluid channel fluidly coupled to the fluid conduit, and a via fluidly coupled to the fluid channel and passing through the back surface; a bladder fluidly coupled to the via and the substrate; a structure adjacent a first side of the bladder; and a platen adjacent a second side of the bladder opposite the first side and compressing the bladder against the structure substantially perpendicular the longitudinal axis of the bladder and substantially parallel the substrate to displace fluid from the bladder and into the fluid channel to transition the deformable region from a retracted setting into an expanded setting.

  • Publication number: 20160187981
    Abstract: A dynamic tactile interface includes a dynamic tactile layer and a manual fluid actuator. The manual fluid actuator includes a displacement device including a bladder, a platen adjacent the bladder, an elongated member coupled to the platen, and a rotary actuator, the elongated member and the rotary actuator translating rotation of the rotary actuator into translation of the platen, the platen compressing the bladder in response to rotation of the rotary actuator in a first direction and expanding the bladder in response to rotation of the rotary actuator in a second direction opposite the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20040069346
    Abstract: A sprinkler winterization and drainage device and method for use in new and existing sprinkler systems that is capable of operation completely from the outside of a building. The devices and methods of the present invention may be used for sprinkler systems in residential homes, commercial or residential rentals, parks, schools and any other application where the main water supply conduit and main sprinkler supply line is located within the interior of a building. The device and method include a valve assembly including a valve located inside a building for shutting off the main sprinkler supply line from outside the building, while also providing for drainage of residual water in the valve assembly to the outside of the building. The device and methods of the present invention completely eliminate the necessity of entry into a building in order to perform sprinkler winterization.
