Abstract: Various soap dispensers are disclosed. Certain embodiments include a housing, reservoir, pump, motor, sensor, electronic processor, and nozzle. In some embodiments, the pump comprises a peristaltic pump. In certain embodiments, the sensor can be configured to generate a signal based on a distance between an object and the sensor. In certain embodiments, the electronic processor can be configured to receive the signal from the sensor and to determine a dispensation volume of the liquid, such as based on the distance between the object and the sensor. The processor can be configured to control the motor to dispense approximately the dispensation volume of the liquid.

Abstract: Various shelving systems, such as shower caddies, are disclosed. In some embodiments, a shower caddy includes an elongate support member and a plurality of shelves, each of which can be supported by a clamping mechanism. The support member can have a telescoping configuration so that upper and lower ends of the support member can be pressed against upper and lower stationary objects. The shelving system can include a shroud configured to conceal, block, or surround a portion of a shelf in a closed position and allow access to the portion of the shelf in the open position.

Abstract: Various embodiments of shelving systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, the shelving system can include an elongated support member and a plurality of shelves. In certain embodiments, the one or more of the shelves has an accessory. In various embodiments, the accessory has a deployable divider and/or an expandable bottom. Certain embodiments of the shelving system include an attachment mechanism configured to couple a lower portion of the support member to a stationary objection, such as a wall.

Abstract: Various embodiments of receptacle assemblies, such as trash cans, are disclosed. In some embodiments, the receptacle assembly includes a body portion with an interior space. The receptacle assembly can include a lid portion configured to move between an open position and a closed position. The receptacle assembly can include a pedal portion operably connected with the lid such that moving the pedal portion moves the lid portion between the open position and the closed position. The receptacle assembly can include a motion damper configured to dampen motion of the lid portion. The motion damper can be positioned near a front of the body portion and/or above a front portion of the pedal portion.

Abstract: A method is provided for predicting the performance of a loudspeaker port and optimizing port design. The method involves defining the geometries of a loudspeaker port, modeling the bi-directional fluid flow in the defined port utilizing a modeling method known as Computation Fluid Dynamics (“CFD”) and analyzing the flow model to determine whether the flow characteristic displayed in the model represent optimum flow characteristics for port performance. To optimize port design, the geometries of the port may be altered and modeled until the flow characteristic represents flow indicative of optimum port performance.
