Abstract

A logistics system uses an application to push notifications as a function of proximity for an appliance that needs a part for replacement. The logistics system consists of a sensor, a parts algorithm, an inventory database, a trilateration sensor, a routing algorithm, and an alerting module. The sensor at a first location detects usage of the appliance. The parts algorithm determines the part which is needed for the appliance. The inventory database at a second location stores inventory information for multiple parts of the appliance. The communication interface transmits data between two locations and the trilateration sensor tracks a location of the user device. The routing algorithm determines distance between the location of the user device and different locations having the part. Finally, the alerting module of the user device triggers when location of the user device is within a determined distance from different locations having the part in stock.

Abstract

The present application relates to the field of water treatment apparatuses. Provided are a brine tank and a water softener. The brine tank comprises a brine tank body, wherein a salt inlet is formed on the side of the brine tank body facing a front housing of the water softener. A cover is provided on the brine tank body at a position corresponding to the salt inlet. The cover is adapted to switch between an open position and a closed position relative to the salt inlet. In the open position, the cover is adapted to provide clearance for the salt inlet. The cover is provided with a guide surface, which is inclined downward and toward the side close to the salt inlet. In the closed position, the cover is adapted to block the salt inlet. The brine tank enables the space occupied by the water softener in the direction of height to be reduced. The cover can effectively block the salt inlet, preventing salt particles in the brine tank from getting damp, contaminated, or spilling out. During salt addition, the cover can also provide cushioning for the salt particles, thereby preventing the salt particles from directly falling into the brine tank body and causing an impact on an inner wall of the brine tank body. Furthermore, flow guide of the salt particles enables the salt particles to fall uniformly into the brine tank, thereby improving the uniformity of brine solution within the brine tank.

Abstract

A cordless appliance with control logic for managing an operation in a standby mode. The cordless appliance uses near-field communication (NFC) to communicate with the power transmitter. The cordless appliance includes an NFC pulse counter that counts NFC power pulses sent to the cordless appliance by the power transmitter when the power transmitter detects proximity to the appliance. A power receiver in the cordless appliance harvests power from NFC power pulses and stores the power in an energy storage device. The power stored in the energy storage device is used to perform various operations, including the primary operations in the standby mode, which are otherwise performed in connected mode. The cordless appliance also includes a supervisor circuit that monitors the charging of the energy storage device in response to a control signal.

Abstract

A water heater and a corrosion prevention design method therefor. The water heater comprises: an inner tank, which comprises a metal tank body and a first insulating layer covering the inner wall of the metal tank body; a metal component, which is disposed in the inner tank and is electrically connected to the metal tank body; and a corrosion prevention assembly, comprising: an electronic anode, which extends into the inner tank, and a direct-current power source module, which comprises a positive electrode electrically connected to the electronic anode and a negative electrode electrically connected to the metal tank body, and is configured to apply a weak-current voltage between the metal tank body and the electronic anode, wherein the total area of an exposed metal surface of the metal component that is in direct contact with water in the inner tank is less than or equal to 0.5 m2. Since the direct-current power source module applies a weak-current voltage between the metal tank body and the electronic anode and between the metal component and the electronic anode, corrosion prevention requirements of the inner tank and the metal component can be met, thereby reducing the risk of hydrogen evolution explosion, reducing the potential safety hazard of electric leakage of the corrosion prevention assembly, and reducing the difficulty of an electronic control design of the water heater.
