Radar Devices For Low Power Applications And Bathroom Fixtures

View page
US Patent:
6388609, May 14, 2002
Filed:
Mar 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/817592
Inventors:
Andrew J. Paese - Plymouth WI
Steven M. Tervo - Plymouth WI
Carter J. Thomas - Cedarburg WI
William R. Burnett - Menlo Park CA
David C. Shafer - Menlo Park CA
Fred Judson Heinzmann - Los Altos CA
Assignee:
Kohler Company - Kohler WI
International Classification:
G01S 740
US Classification:
342 27, 342 28, 342114, 342204, 340565, 340567
Abstract:
A fluid flow device includes an actuator, an RF transmitter, a gated RF receiver, and a processor. The RF transmitter is configured and arranged to produce a plurality of pulses of RF energy spaced apart in time to form a sensor field. The gated RF receiver is configured and arranged to receive RF energy reflected by objects within the sensor field. The processor is coupled to the gated RF receiver for evaluating the reflected RF energy. The processor is also coupled to the actuator and is configured and arranged to activate the actuator in response to the reflected RF energy to control fluid flow. In addition, a new low power radar sensor operates by providing radar pulses that are non-uniformly spaced in time. In operation, a burst of pulses is initiated in the transmitter. Between each burst is a period of rest time in which the transmitter is not transmitting RF energy.

Bathroom Fixture Using Radar Detector Having Leaky Transmission Line To Control Fluid Flow

View page
US Patent:
60676736, May 30, 2000
Filed:
Jul 17, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/118255
Inventors:
Andrew J. Paese - Plymouth WI
Steven M. Tervo - Plymouth WI
Carter J. Thomas - Cedarburg WI
William R. Burnett - Menlo Park CA
David C. Shafer - Menlo Park CA
Fred Judson Heinzmann - Los Altos CA
Assignee:
Kohler Company - Kohler WI
International Classification:
E03C 105
US Classification:
4623
Abstract:
Methods and devices for controlling the flow of fluid in fixtures, such as bathroom, restroom, or kitchen fixtures, using a radar detector with a leaky transmission line and fixtures using such methods and devices are provided. A bathroom fixture, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, includes a fluid conduit, a radar detector for detecting one or more characteristics of one or more objects in a sensor field based on reflected electromagnetic signals from the one or more objects in the sensor field, and a controller coupled to the fluid conduit for controlling a flow of fluid in the fluid conduit in response to the detected one or more characteristics. The radar detector in particular includes a leaky transmission line for transmitting electromagnetic signals to form the sensor field and receiving the reflected electromagnetic signals. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the sensor field is restricted from selected areas associated with spurious signals, such as areas of flowing water, areas near other fixtures, etc. The use of a radar detector with a leaky transmission line can, for example, improve the control of fluid flow in fixtures, such as bathroom fixtures.

Latching Solenoid Valve

View page
US Patent:
59156651, Jun 29, 1999
Filed:
Oct 27, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/957890
Inventors:
Andrew J. Paese - Plymouth WI
Lee Karsten - Random Lake WI
John Quella - Kohler WI
Kevin Witt - Sheboygan WI
Assignee:
Kohler Co. - Kohler WI
International Classification:
F16K 3108
US Classification:
251 3004
Abstract:
A pilot valve is operated by a solenoid formed by a coil wound around a non-magnetic spool that has a bore. A rare earth permanent magnet is inside the bore adjacent one end and abuts a flux concentrator farther inside the bore. A plunger is slidably located within the bore biased away from the flux concentrator by a spring and projects out another end of the bore. An enclosure of magnetic material completes a magnetic flux path around the solenoid and has an aperture though which the plunger projects. The pilot valve includes a cage of rigid non-magnetic material which abuts the enclosure and has a recess which supports the plunger out of contact with the housing. The plunger selectively opens and closes a pilot tube through the cage to operate a diaphragm the responds by engaging a primary valve seat to control the flow of fluid through a valve body.
