Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of a user interface display panel includes a top or cover glass layer which extends to the perimeter of the panel housing. A touch-sensitive display layer is adhered to the bottom surface of cover glass layer to form a touch sensitive display assembly. In exemplary embodiments, the arrangement results in an active touch-sensitive display area significantly larger than display areas provided in the past by interface panels.

Abstract: A flow control valve for a bathing installation. The flow control valve is configured to operate between an open state and a closed state in dependence on the applied water pressure. As water pressure increases, the valve progressively reduces flow dynamically, until flow increases to a point that the valve is placed in the closed state. The valve may be placed in the bathing installation recirculating water path downstream of a bypass path and upstream of a heat pump. By regulating water flow and pressure to the heat pump, the heat pump may be operated in a flow rate for efficient operation. The valve also prevents water pressure at a high level which may damage the heat pump.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of a user interface display panel includes a top or cover glass layer which extends to the perimeter of the panel housing. A touch-sensitive display layer is adhered to the bottom surface of cover glass layer to form a touch sensitive display assembly and is just smaller in area than that of the cover glass layer to provide a peripheral lip region for adherence to a waterproof gasket to bond the cover glass and display layer to the housing structure. The display layer is supported above the surface of the tub wall. The arrangement results in an active touch-sensitive display area significantly larger than display areas provided in the past by interface panels.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer readable media, and methods for determining a transit route to a destination and generating a shortened graphical summary of the transit route to present on a computing device. For instance, in some cases, a system determines a transit route by which transit vehicles transport a user along route segments to a destination. The system further generates or configures a graphical route summary that includes segment graphics representing route segments from the transit route. To shorten the graphical route summary to fit within a graphical user interface, the system can successively perform one or both of (i) segment-level-truncation operations on individual segment graphics and (ii) summary-level-truncation operations on the graphical route summary.

Abstract: An ingredient preparation and batching system may include a first hydrated ingredient pre-mix station including a first holding tank configured to store a first hydrated ingredient consisting of water and one or more non-time constrained ingredients. The ingredient preparation and batching system may include a dry ingredient pre-mix station including a first hopper configured to store a first ingredient in dry form, a second hopper configured to store a second ingredient in dry form, and a mixer fluidly coupled to the first hopper and the second hopper. The mixer is configured to receive and mix the first ingredient and the second ingredient to form an ingredient mix. The ingredient preparation and batching system may include a batch tank fluidly coupled to the first holding tank and the mixer.

Abstract: A production line for bottling a liquid product includes an ingredient preparation and batching system. The ingredient preparation and batching system includes a pre-mix station including a holding tank configured to store a hydrated ingredient. The ingredient preparation and batching system also includes a batch tank fluidly coupled to the pre-mix station and configured to receive a predetermined quantity of the hydrated ingredient from the holding tank. The production line also includes a bottling line fluidly coupled to the batch tank and configured to receive a batch of the liquid product from the batch tank and dispense the batch of the liquid product into a plurality of containers.

A third exemplary embodiment features a slip-on design, in which the cover slips onto the keyed connector housing. In another aspect, an electrical connector system is described, which includes the connector cover and first and second keyed electrical connectors.

Abstract: A method and system for making an antenna structure and to corresponding antenna structures are disclosed. A method for making a feed structure for an antenna may include providing a polarizer body having a polarizer sidewall extending longitudinally between spaced apart ends. A portion of the polarizer sidewall is deformed to provide at least one polarizing structure that extends radially inwardly along an interior of the polarizer sidewall relative to adjacent portions of the polarizer sidewall. The method thus can be utilized to produce an antenna structure.

Abstract: A polarizer for an antenna and antenna structures are disclosed. According to one aspect a polarizer includes a generally cylindrical sidewall portion extending between spaced apart end portions. At least one polarizing structure extends substantially continuously along an interior of the sidewall portion and extends radially inwardly relative to the sidewall portion according to a first radius in a longitudinal direction and a second radius in a transverse direction. The polarizer can be implemented as part of an antenna structure, which further can be integrated with a transition stage and/or a horn.
