    Abstract: A decorative removable lighting enclosed clip made for mounting a light to a support surface such as gutters, shingles or a building structure. The enclosed clip allows for an aesthetically pleasing display of lights with rapid and easy installation and removal of the lighting. This eliminates falling debris from broken clips or clips that fall off the lights during the removal process. A support tab is inserted between the side portions of the structure, at longitudinally spaced intervals along the strip, and are frictionally gripped and retained by the facing side portions of the gutter, shingle or structure. The clips have enclosed end portions which support the light elements of a decorative light string along structure. The enclosed clip is capable of mounting onto a wide variety of gutters, eaves and building structures. The spacing is adjustable and provides a plurality of discrete angular positions.

    Abstract: A connected combustion system detects a failure in any of combustors connected in the system and each including a burner with its combustion state used for feedback. Each combustor includes a combustion sensor that detects the combustion state in the burner, and a detection value is used for feedback. When the detection value deviates from a predetermined normal range, at least one of a fuel gas supply or an air supply is corrected to cause the detection value to be within the normal range. The combustion state in the burner is thus adjusted. When the combustion sensor in any of the combustors has a detection value deviating from the normal range and the combustion sensor in another combustor operating simultaneously with the above combustor has a detection value within the normal range, the combustor having the detection value deviating from the normal range is determined to have a failure.

    Abstract: A detection method for an air-conditioning system includes detecting whether the input power of the compressor of the air-conditioning system is lower than the power threshold. The method includes obtaining the evaporation saturation temperature of the evaporator of the air-conditioning system and obtaining the condensation saturation temperature of the condenser of the air-conditioning system when the input power is lower than the power threshold. When detecting that the evaporation saturation temperature is greater than the condensation saturation temperature, the method includes determining that an abnormal phase change is occurring and operating the compressor in the full-speed mode.
