Title: Systems and methods for monitoring and controlling corrosion in hot water systems
Inventor: FOX JEFFREY V
IPC: F22B35/00
Filed: 2014-02-05
Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for monitoring and controlling a real-time oxidation-reduction potential in a hot water system to inhibit corrosion in the hot water system. The method includes defining one or more operational protective zones in the hot water system. One or more of the operational protective zones includes an oxidation-reduction potential probe that is operable to measure a real-time oxidation-reduction potential in the hot water system at operating temperature and pressure. The probe transmits the measured real-time potential to the controller, which assesses and interprets the transmitted potential to determine whether it conforms to an oxidation-reduction potential setting. If the measured potential does not conform the oxidation-reduction potential setting, the controller is operable to feed or remove one or more active chemical species into or from the hot water system and further operable to change at least one system parameter.

Title: Solar collector comprising an opaque cover
Inventor: PRUTSMAN JEFFREY D
IPC: F24S23/70
Filed: 2014-04-14
Abstract: A solar collector has an opaque cover (10) heated by solar energy. Heat flows from the opaque cover (10) by conduction, convection, and infrared emittance across a gap (52) within an at least substantially airtight enclosure (14) to an absorber (26) containing a working fluid. The exterior surface (22) of the opaque cover (10) has high solar energy absorptance and the interior surface (24) has high infrared emittance. The exterior surface (22) preferably has low infrared emittance. In one embodiment, fully wetted surface geometry (50, 52, 54) permits direct (44) and reflected (46) infrared absorption by the absorber (26). The opaque cover (10) eliminates the weight, cost and other shortcomings of glass. A hollow continuous side wall (60) with rounded corners (64) provides an embodiment that is robust yet economical, that is easy to manufacture and seal, that permits a reduced thickness of the opaque cover (10) and mitigates the destructive potential of severe winds, and that can withstand the compressive forces experienced by an evacuated solar collector.

Title: Pot support with elastic foot and method for fixing elastic foot to a pot support
Inventor: LANDO GIUSEPPE
IPC: F24C15/10
Filed: 2015-04-28
Abstract: The invention presents a solution to avoid glue when fixing an elastic foot to a pot support, such as used in ranges and kitchen hobs. The pot support (1000) has a cavity (2200) which is aligned with an elastic foot (1300) which comprises on the other hand a hollow space (3240). By inserting an expansion body (3220, 3450) into the hollow space, a press fit is generated between a support structure (1800) of the pot support and/or elastic material of the foot (1300). Rivets (3450) or bolts (3220) are taught as expansion bodies. The invention also teaches a method to mount an elastic foot to a pot support. The invention provides a solution for avoiding the deteriorating effects of aging glue used in the prior art, which leads to the loss of rubber feet on current pot supports.
