Title: Breast pump and cap for same
Inventor: RIGERT MARIO
IPC: A61M1/06
Filed: 2016-02-09
Abstract: A breast pump for pumping human breast milk has a flexible pumping membrane (6) and a stiff cap (5), which can be fitted onto said pumping membrane, this resulting in the formation of a pumping chamber (7) for generating a negative pressure. The cap (5) can be, or is, connected to a breast-shield unit (2) via a suction line (4). The pumping membrane (6) has an encircling collar (63) with a step (630) and a laterally projecting protrusion (61). The cap (5) has, on its inner side, an encircling abutment region (53) and also at least one form-fitting element (54), which is spaced apart from the encircling abutment region (53) and establishes a form fit (F) with the protrusion (61) of the pumping membrane. The cap (5) is positioned with a snap fit on the pumping membrane (6). In the abutment region (53), it establishes a joint frictional fit with a step (630) of the pumping membrane (6) and thus forms a seal (D). The snap-fit positioning of the cap (5) on the pumping membrane (6) is sufficient for the cap (5) to be retained with sealing action on the pumping membrane (6).

Title: Water temperature management system
Inventor: LOONG MENG
IPC: E03C1/02
Filed: 2015-11-13
Abstract: A system for the regulation of water supply temperature, particularly in a domestic setting where multiple users are connected to a common water supply. The system comprises a water mixing chamber with separate inlets for hot water and cold water from a hot water chamber and a cold water chamber respectively, and an outlet for the mixed water. The system includes a pressure regulating device comprising a pressure release valve connected to the water mixing chamber and the outlet. When the pressure at either the hot water inlet or the cold water inlet of the mixing chamber decreases, a portion of the mixed water about to exit the outlet is recirculated to the mixing chamber by the pressure release valve of the pressure regulating device; the temperature in the water mixing chamber is thus maintained within a desired temperature range.

Abstract: An agricultural row unit for planting seeds in a furrow includes an opening tool that cuts a furrow in the soil to be planted, and a gauge wheel that engages the soil to control elevation. A  depth control actuator applies a controllable down force to the gauge wheel, and a sidewall compaction sensor extends into sidewalls of the furrow and produces a signal representing the compaction of the soil. A controller supplies the depth control actuator with a control signal representing a down pressure set point to form a furrow having a desired depth. The controller uses the signal representing the compaction of the soil in the sidewalls to determine whether the down pressure set point should be increased or decreased, and supplies the depth control actuator with a control signal when it is determined that the down pressure set point should be increased or decreased.
