  • Publication number: 20260185976
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically determining water quality for a water system are disclosed. A controller includes, and/or has access to, electronically stored thresholds separating zones representing states of the water system, one of the thresholds (“composite threshold”) is specific to a composite water quality metric (“CWQM”) and a plurality of the thresholds (“characteristic thresholds”) are each specific to a respective characteristic of a sample of the water system. The controller receives data from sensors for measuring the characteristics, and determines, for each of the characteristics, a proximity of an associated measurement(s) to an associated characteristic threshold. The controller uses the determined proximities to adjust the CWQM, and determine a current state of the water system based thereon relative to the composite threshold, a representation of which is communicated to electronic device(s).

  • Patent number: 4729743
    Abstract: An electrical connector is provided which has both transient suppression and filtering means for protecting electronic equipment from energy generated by RFI, EMI, EMP and ESD. The connector is comprised of a conductive housing member having an axially extending passageway therethrough, and a circuit assembly disposed therein, the circuit assembly including a transient suppression subassembly and a pi-network filter assembly in electrical engagement with a plurality of electrical terminals. The transient suppression subassembly is comprised of a dielectric substrate having conductive path disposed thereon, a plurality of apertures extending therethrough for receiving electrical terminal members and preferably a bidirectional diode electrically connected to the terminal members and conductive path means and grounding means. The filter assembly, comprised of capacitor and inductor members is electrically engageable with the terminal members and ground.
