A drainage assembly and a sink are provided. The drainage assembly includes a base body. Two ends of the base body are provided with an input port and an output port respectively. The input port is communicated with the output port by a flow channel located in the base body. The flow channel includes an upper chamber communicated with the input port and a lower chamber communicated with the output port. The base body is provided with a switch mechanism configured to control connection and disconnection between the upper chamber and the lower chamber. The base body is provided with a water inlet connector and a liquid level measurement connector that are separately communicated with the upper chamber. The drainage assembly and the sink have liquid level measurement and water supply functions in addition to a drainage function.

Magnetically actuated pop-up drain assembly

A magnetically actuated pop-up drain assembly includes a tailpiece having an upper end, a lower end and a hollow interior. Axially received within the tailpiece interior is a plug including a dome-shaped cap with an elongated stem depending therefrom. Proximal a lower end of the stem are an upper magnet having a predetermined polarity and a lower spaced magnet having an opposite polarity. Slidably mounted on the outer surface of the tailpiece is an outer magnet having an upper pole identical to a lower pole of the upper magnet, and a lower pole identical to an upper pole of the lower magnet. Accordingly, upward movement of the outer magnet will repel the upper magnet and lift the stem. Conversely, downward movement will repel the lower magnet, which lowers the stem.

Enhanced abandoned call recovery for a contact center

An enhanced abandoned call recovery (“E-ACR”) process allows certain abandoned calls to be eligible for a callback call. An E-ACR assignment point defines which abandoned calls in an inbound campaign or interactive voice response (“IVR”) menu are eligible to be processed to determine whether the E-ACR callback should occur. The determination of whether a callback occurs involves various compliance tests, such as ensuring calling window, call attempts, and other regulatory concerns are addressed. Once a callback is determined to occur, it is associated with a specific campaign to ensure the called party is provided with agents having the skill set as defined for that assignment point. In this manner, only eligible callers receive an E-ACR callback, and further receive the callback in a compliant manner and handled by the same skill set of agents as would have been allocated to the caller had they not abandoned their call.

ELECTRONIC DRAIN CLOSURE SYSTEM

A system comprising: a drain fitting securable to a container for containing a liquid and an evacuation drain; and a closure member comprising: a casing; a motion device for moving the casing relative between an open position in which the casing is away from the drain fitting to allow the liquid from flowing from the container into the evacuation drain and a closed position in which the casing abuts against the drain fitting to prevent the liquid from flowing from the container into the evacuation drain; an electrical motor received in the casing for activating the motion device; a communication unit received in the casing for at least receiving a command indicative of one of an opening of the electronic drain closure system and a closure of the electronic drain closure system; and a controller for activating the electrical motor in accordance with the command received by the communication unit.

Accelerated drain apparatus and method for walk-in bathtub
11674295 · 2023-06-13 · ·

An accelerated drain system for a walk-in bathtub with a water outlet in a side wall communicates water to a diverter valve biased to circulate the water in the bathtub and movable selectively to communicate water through a reverse check valve to a drain, the reverse check valve biased closed to prevent water flow and movable selectively to allow water flow to the drain, with a controller configured for moving the diverter valve selectively from the second position to the closed position for subsequent use of the walk-in bathtub. A method of rapid draining of a walk-in bathtub is disclosed.

Pop-up drain assembly
09745728 · 2017-08-29 · ·

A pop-up drain assembly for a sink has drain piping, a stopper in the drain piping, a pivot rod for opening and closing the stopper and tends not to clog because the pivot rod is not within a fluid flow path. In one embodiment the stopper has flow diverter plates that channel fluid flowing through the drain piping away from the pivot rod so that hair, waste and debris does not catch on and accumulate on the pivot rod. In another embodiment the stopper and the pivot rod are engaged through magnetic coupling, and the pivot rod does not protrude into the fluid flow path. The stopper is preferably variable in length for adjustment to fit different distances from the pivot rod to the top of the drain piping.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPOSING OF FLUID FROM A KITCHEN SINK

A fluid-disposing system for a galley sink includes: a galley sink for a galley cabin monument, a self-regulating valve, a control unit, a sensor, and a signal connection between the sensor and the control unit. The valve input is connected to a fluid line, connected to a drainage opening of the galley sink. The valve is arranged underneath the drainage opening, such that fluid from the galley sink can flow through the associated drainage opening into the fluid line. The valve output is designed to be couplable with a source of negative pressure. The valve is designed to automatically open at a predetermined amount M1 of fluid in the fluid line, such that fluid can flow out of the fluid line, and to automatically close at a predetermined amount M2 of fluid in the fluid line, such that the predetermined amount M2 of fluid remains in the fluid line.
