The user interface is provided on the spout. The mixing valve is contained within the body and is configured to be in fluid communication with a hot water source and a cold water source. The first capacitive sensor pad is provided below the user interface. The second capacitive sensor pad is provided below the user interface laterally adjacent to the first capacitive sensor pad, and is physically separated from the first capacitive sensor pad.

A water discharge unit of a water purifier includes a body having a neck that is coupleable to a sink and/or workbench, a head longitudinally extending from the neck and having a water discharge opening at a lower side of a distal end of the head, at least one pipe extending through the neck and the head through which water provided by a water purifier body is flowable to be discharged through the water discharge opening, a water discharge valve inside the body to regulate water flowing through the at least one pipe, a water discharge mechanism coupled to an upper side of a proximal end of the head to control the water discharge valve, and a touch panel coupled to the upper side of the head and spaced apart from the water discharge mechanism, and configured to receive a touch input for controlling the water purifier body.

An integrated bathroom electronic system including a plurality of sensors to detect conditions within a bathroom and to provide signals indicative thereof to a controller. A plurality of distinct and exclusive modules or subsystems are illustratively provided for integration into the system. Such modules may include a quick hot water module, a roman tub module, a custom shower module, a hands free faucet module, and a tub shower module. In certain illustrative faucet modules, a controller is configured to select between a manual mode of operation and a hands-free mode of operation in response to a mode signal, and is configured to control an electrically operable valve in response to a proximity signal during the hands-free mode of operation.

The present invention discloses a landslide experimental device for remotely controlling and simulating a constant seepage flow and weight load and an experimental method thereof in centrifuge test. The landslide experimental device includes a model box, a landslide device, a near-constant water flow control box, remote control devices and a water outlet pipe. The landslide device comprises a landslide model, a load balancing device, a weight storage device, an angle control panel and a tension bar. The remote control devices are arranged at the control box water outlet, at the control box water inlet, on the tension bar, on telescoping control sensors and on the weight storage device, respectively. With the present invention, the influences on the stability of landslide model with different landslide angles under the condition of the seepage flow and weight load can be simulated.

A shower system comprises a support, a handheld sprayer, a flexible conduit, and a weight. The support is configured to be coupled in a shower environment. The handheld sprayer is disposed below the support. The flexible conduit is coupled to the handheld sprayer, and extends through the support. The weight is coupled to the flexible conduit opposite the handheld sprayer. The weight is configured to bias the handheld sprayer to a first position in the shower environment.

A sensor faucet includes a control assembly, a proximity sensor and a processing unit. The proximity sensor is configured to radiate a radio wave, receive a reflected radio wave, and output a sensing signal according to the reflected radio wave. The processing unit is electrically connected to the proximity sensor and a solenoid valve, and is configured to output a control signal according to the sensing signal. The sensor faucet is configured to perform: determining whether a voltage in response to the reflected radio wave in a second continuous number satisfies a predetermined condition when a first continuous number of the reflected radio wave exceeds a first threshold, operating the solenoid valve if the predetermined condition is not satisfied, continuously determining whether the second continuous number of the reflected radio wave exceeds a second threshold, and determining to output a sleep signal or a second control signal.

The present application discloses electronic plumbing fixture fittings, such as electronic faucets, with a shaped and limited sensor detection zone. Exemplary embodiments include devices with a plurality of overlapping sensors and devices with a single time-of-flight (TOF) sensor capable of detecting the presence or absence of an object whether or not water is flowing out of a discharge outlet in the in a TOF detection zone.
