  • Patent number: 11466899
    Abstract: A method of controlling a gas powered water heater includes attempting to pick a main gas valve of the main burner using a first pick method. The first pick method includes closing a switch of a valve pick system to couple a capacitor of the valve pick system to the main gas valve for a first length of time to discharge energy stored in the capacitor to the main gas valve, and opening the switch of the valve pick system after the energy stored in the capacitor is discharged to the main gas valve. The controller determines if the main gas valve is open after using the first pick method. When the controller determines the main gas valve is not open, the controller attempts to pick the main gas valve using a second pick method different than the first pick method.

  • Patent number: 10583961
    Abstract: A container system includes a first container including a bottom wall, at least one sidewall, and an open top, with a plurality of indented recesses formed in the bottom wall. A first lid closes the open top of the first container. A second container includes a bottom wall, at least one sidewall, and an open top. A second lid closes the open top of the second container, with a push indicator structure formed at a center portion of the second lid, and with a plurality of registration bumps formed about the push indicator structure. The first container is stackable on the second lid such that (i) each of the registration bumps in the second lid is aligned with an adjacent one of the recesses in the bottom wall of the first container and (ii) surfaces of the registration bumps are spaced from surfaces of the adjacent recesses.

  • Patent number: 9108766
    Abstract: Storage container systems include a plurality of containers and a plurality of lids for sealing the containers. The container systems have a plurality of differently sized containers that are configured in modular sizes such that the containers can be stacked together in compact arrangements. The lids can easily be positioned on the containers to create a tight seals to the containers. When the containers are not sealed with the lids, the containers may be nested together, and the lids may be nested together. When nested together, the containers and lids take up a minimal amount of space.

  • Publication number: 20120110722
    Abstract: A clip for mounting a fluid delivery device adjacent a wall of an enclosure is disclosed. In one form, the clip mounts a fluid delivery device for spraying a fluid, such as a cleaner or deodorizer, on the inside surfaces of an enclosure, such as a toilet bowl, where the clip can be adjusted to fit different size toilet bowls. The clip includes a base configured to attach to the fluid delivery device, an adjustable mounting mechanism supporting the base adjacent the wall, and a biasing means for vertically biasing the base towards a top portion of the adjustable mounting mechanism. A device for spraying an inner surface of an enclosure with a fluid is also disclosed.
