Introduced are a bed device system and methods for: gathering human biological signals, such as heart rate, breathing rate, or temperature; analyzing the gathered human biological signals; and controlling the bed device system, e.g., a temperature of the bed device, based on the analysis.

A bar valve includes an elongate housing having a first inlet located towards a first end of the housing, a second inlet located towards a second end of the housing, and an outlet located between the first inlet and the second inlet. A mixing chamber is located within the housing, the mixing chamber being configured to receive first and second input flows from the first inlet and second inlet, respectively. A flow controller is configured to receive a mixed flow from the mixing chamber and controllably output an outlet flow to the outlet. The mixing chamber and flow controller is disposed sequentially in a region of the housing between the first end and the outlet, thereby confining the mixed flow and the outlet flow to the region of the housing between the first end and the outlet.

Introduced are methods and systems for: gathering human biological signals, such as heart rate, respiration rate, or temperature; analyzing the gathered human biological signals; and controlling a vibrating pillow strip based on the analysis.

Temperature control device (1) has a hot water inlet (12), a cold water inlet (14) and an outlet (16) for tempered water. A diffuser (18) is provided in the device (1) to disrupt the flow of hot water after it enters the device (1). The disrupted hot water emerges from the diffuser (18) into a chamber (20) in which it is melded with cold water that is able to enter the chamber (20) from the inlet (14) when a piston (22) is spaced from a seat (24). The melded hot and cold water result in tempered water that is discharged from the outlet (16). A temperature sensitive device (26) is provided, which is responsive to changes in ambient temperature. A temperature setting mechanism (52) is provided which is operatively associated with the temperature sensitive device (26) and permits the maximum temperature of the discharged tempered water to be adjusted.

A water heating and treatment system includes a water heater operatively coupled to a water heater controller, a hot water outflow line from the water heater, and a cold water supply line to supply water to the water heater. The cold water supply line includes at least one of an anti-scale device operatively coupled to an anti-scale device controller, and at least one sanitation device operatively coupled to a sanitation device controller. The mixing station is operatively coupled to a mixing station controller. The mixing station supplies heated water to at least a first temperature zone at a first hot water temperature. Controllers of the water heater controller, the anti-scale device controller, the sanitation device controller and the mixing station controller are co-located at a front of a single enclosure behind an openable door, the controllers operatively coupled to a supervisory controller.

The thermostatic cartridge includes: a cartridge body, inside which are delimited a chamber, a hot and cold fluid inlet passages and a mixed fluid outlet passage; a slide valve regulating the temperature of the mixed fluid, movable along an axis to close, in inverse proportions, the inlet passages; a thermostatic element, a mechanism for adjusting a thermostatic regulation temperature, which is, in a usage configuration, mechanically connected to the body to set, and by actuation, to modify the position of the piston of the thermostatic element along the axis; and a control member rotationally mounted on the body so as to, in the usage configuration, actuate it when the control member is rotationally driven in between positions associated with extreme low and high values of the thermostatic regulation temperature. When the control member is driven past a first position, the adjustment mechanism is disconnected from the body or control member.

The fluid channel structure includes a base and a connector. The base includes a first side surface defining at least three first openings, and a second side surface defining at least three second openings, each of the at least three first openings is communicated to one corresponding second opening to form a first inlet channel, a second inlet channel, and an outlet channel, inner surfaces of the first inlet channel, the second inlet channel, and the outlet channel are provided with threaded connecting elements. The at least three through holes are in one-to-one correspondence with the at least three first openings and communicated to corresponding second openings. The present disclosure further provides a valve core assembly and a tap.

The present disclosure provides a water supply system. The system comprises a central water supply, a plurality of water taps, at least one operation device located at one water tap, a piping system connecting the central water supply and the plurality of water taps, the piping system comprising a separate flow path from the central water supply to each water tap, and a controller for individually controlling a flow of water from the central water supply to the plurality of water taps and individually controlling an outlet temperature of the flow of water at an outlet of the central water supply. The controller is located at the central water supply, and the controller is operable via the operation device at the water tap.

A mixing valve assembly is disclosed. The mixing valve assembly can include a cold water connector, a hot water connector, an electronic valve system, and a tube. The cold water connector can have a through-hole configured to slideably receive at least a portion of a first tubular portion of a cold water inlet, and the hot water connector can have a through-hole configured to slideably receive at least a portion of a second tubular portion of a hot water outlet. The electronic valve system can be configured to transition a valve between an open configuration and a closed configuration such that cold water can be selectively permitted to flow from the cold water connector to the hot water connector. The mixing valve assembly can be configured to selectively permit cold water to bypass the tank of water heater.
