A system for monitoring flush valves is provided, including a plurality of flush valves arranged in at least one restroom of a building, each flush valve of the plurality of flush valves including a communication device configured to transmit flush valve data, and at least one controller in communication with each flush valve of the plurality of flush valves. The at least one controller is programmed or configured to receive the flush valve data from each flush valve of the plurality of flush valves and determine if a first flush valve of the plurality of flush valves is in need of servicing or replacement based at least partially by comparing flush valve data for the first flush with flush valve data for at least one other flush valve of the plurality of flush valves. A method and apparatus are also disclosed.

A system for adjusting a timing of at least one flush valve based on demand is provided. The system includes a plurality of flush valves arranged in at least one restroom. The system also includes a network device configured to receive wireless signals, and at least one processor in communication with the network device and the plurality of flush valves, the at least one processor programmed or configured to: detect, based on wireless signals received by the network device, a number of mobile devices in the area; determine whether the number of mobile devices in the area meets or exceeds at least one predetermined threshold; and in response to determining that the number of mobile devices in the area meets or exceeds the at least one predetermined threshold, adjusting the flush time of each of the plurality of flush valves to an adjusted flush time.

A towel bar includes a retractable and extendable robe hook. The robe hook may be formed in a wall-mounted first base joined by a towel bar to a wall-mounted second base. A shaft may be extended from the base to reveal the robe hook. When extended, the robe hook provides a location from which objects may be hung. When not needed, the robe hook may be pushed into the base and reside within an internal cavity, thereby concealed from view.

The present invention relates to a hand washing machine using high pressure water including: a washing drum; a first spray unit connected to the washing drum; a water tank connected to the first spray unit; a second spray unit connected to the washing drum; a cleaning agent tank connected to the second spray unit; a casing accommodating the washing drum, the water tank, and the cleaning agent tank; a hand entrance opening formed in the upper portion of the washing drum at one side of the casing; an air blowing unit blowing air in a direction toward the center of the hand entrance opening from the inner circumference of the hand entrance opening; a control unit transmitting control signals to the first spray unit, the second spray unit, and the air blowing unit; and an actuation means transmitting an actuation signal to the control unit.

A system for monitoring flush valves includes a plurality of flush valves arranged in at least one restroom, each flush valve including a communication device configured to transmit flush valve data, and at least one controller arranged in a first flush valve and in communication with each other flush valve. The at least one controller is configured to determine a static pressure within the first flush valve, detect a second pressure within the first flush valve, determine that the second pressure is less than the static pressure, in response to determining that the second pressure is less than the static pressure, compare the second pressure with at least one other pressure associated with at least one other flush valve, and determine that the first flush valve is in need of servicing or replacement based on comparing the second pressure with the at least one other pressure.

A hand cleaning device, including a main body, including a cleaning section to store at least one liquid therein, and a drying section disposed on at least a portion of the cleaning section to facilitate movement of air therein, a cleaning unit disposed on and within at least a portion of the cleaning section to spray at least one liquid within the cleaning section in response to detecting movement within the cleaning section, a scrubbing unit disposed within at least a portion of the cleaning section to scrub using a cleaning agent, and a drying unit disposed within at least a portion of the drying section to blow the air within the drying section in response to detecting movement within the drying section.
