A side outlet device suitable for use in combination with a rainhead to form an overflow assembly is adapted to enable the rainhead to be mounted external to the building in relation to a wall of the building, to one side of a box guttering extending interiorly along the wall, whereby water flowing from the roof is able to pass through the side outlet device to a downpipe via the overflow device. The side outlet device has a respective end section at first and second opposite ends, with the first end section having a form corresponding to the form of a box gutter end section such that, with the side outlet device mounted in relation to the wall, the first end section extends through the wall and is receivable in the gutter receptor of the overflow device. The second end section is adapted for connection to the box guttering to enable water to flow from the box guttering and through the side outlet device to the overflow device.

An overflow device comprising a sump for a box gutter includes a primary sump receptacle with first and second end walls, a pair of sidewalls extending between and a basal wall, with a primary outlet port for the discharge of water; the second end walls is common in forming a first end wall of a second sump receptacle having a second end wall, opposed sidewalls, a bottom wall and a secondary outlet for the discharge of water. The common wall has an upper edge spaced below the upper edges of each of the first end wall of the primary receptacle, the second end wall of the secondary receptacle and of the opposed sidewalls of each receptacle. The overflow device has a width between at least equal to the width of the box gutter whereby the overflow device is adapted to be installed in relation to a first box gutter section such that: the first end wall of the first sump receptacle extends transversely with respect to the box gutter to enable the overflow device to be sealed to the first section of the box gutter, the overflow device is adapted to be installed, if required, in relation to a second section of the box gutter such that the second end wall extends transversely with respect to the box gutter for sealing the overflow device to the second section of the box gutter; and such that, with the overflow device so installed, water can flow from the first section of the box gutter, over an upper edge of the first end wall of the primary receptacle, into the primary receptacle and discharge through the primary outlet port, and with the primary outlet port sufficiently blocked, water can overflow an upper edge of the common wall, into the secondary receptacle and through the secondary outlet port.

An example canopy includes a plurality of panels arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of sequences, including a first sequence, second sequence, and a third sequence. The second sequence is disposed between the first and third sequences and forms a rainwater collection channel The panels of the second sequence are angled with respect to the panels of the first and third sequences to optimize solar radiation and rainwater collection efficiency. Photovoltaic cells are provided on a flexible top surface of some or all of the panels. A hybrid canopy, a method of making a hybrid canopy, and a method of using and learning from a hybrid canopy, are shown and described.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for water capture. A water collection opening is shaped to collect water from a water source. A water outlet is in fluid communication with a water collection opening to receive collected water from a water source through the water collection opening. A horizontal adjustment mechanism is configured to provide mechanical support to a water outlet and a water collection opening at any one of a plurality of user selectable positions at different horizontal offsets relative to a water source to accommodate different sizes and types of water sources.

The embodiments are apparatuses, systems and methods of water management and icicle prevention for solar carports, and are designed to catch drips between rows of, and water run-off from, the low side of inclined photovoltaic modules arranged to form the roof of the solar carport or canopy.

A gutter fastening system for a building allows a downspout extension to be selectively attached to an elbow joint of a downspout. A plurality of mounting members that can be screws are screwed through the downspout and/or the downspout extension. A flexible elastic piece that serves as a linkage member is then placed on a first portion of the screws and secures the downspout extension to the downspout. The elastic piece is selectively removable from the downspout and the downspout extension allowing the downspout extension to be removed from the downspout.

The rotating gutter system is configured for use with a pitched roof. The pitched roof is further defined with a fascia. The rotating gutter system is configured to capture and remove water from the pitched roof. The rotating gutter system is a self-cleaning system. Specifically, each gutter rotates such that debris will fall out of the rotating gutter system allowing for the smooth flow of water through the rotating gutter system. The rotating gutter system is assembled in the same manner as a traditional gutter system. The rotating gutter system comprises a gutter structure and a plurality of segmented bushings. The gutter structure handles the collection and transport of water from the pitched roof. The plurality of segmented bushings: a) attach the gutter structure to the fascia of the pitched roof; and, b) rotate the gutters contained in the gutter structure in order to clean the rotating gutter system.

A gutter debris chute assembly includes a chute that has a pair of entries that is each attachable to a respective pair of gutters on a building to receive rain and debris from the gutters. The chute has an exit that is positioned between the entries. The exit is attachable to a downspout on the building to direct the rain and debris into the downspout. The chute curves downwardly between each of the entries and the exit thereby facilitating the chute to increase the velocity of the rain and debris when the rain and debris moves toward the exit. In this way the chute inhibits the debris from clogging in the chute. The chute has a plurality of vanes each is disposed in the chute and each of the vanes is oriented to surround the exit. Each of the vanes is curved thereby urging the rain and debris to flow in a circular direction to inhibit the debris from clogging in the downspout.

Methods of using compounds to inhibit ocular disease are disclosed herein. Methods are disclosed for inhibiting soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) for the treatment of ocular diseases, and in particular, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) or diabetic retinopathy.
