A method of manufacturing a molded solid surface includes mixing ferrous particles into a resinous material, injecting the resinous material including the ferrous particles into a mold, the mold including an upper mold half and a lower mold half, creating a predetermined pattern in the resinous material by applying a force to the ferrous particles in the resinous material toward a surface of the upper mold half or the lower mold half using one or more magnets, and curing the resinous material in the mold into the molded solid surface.

Molded solid surfaces including ferrous material

A trip lever assembly for a toilet includes a body and an infrared sensor. The body is configured to be mechanically coupled to a flush valve assembly of the toilet. The infrared sensor is coupled to the body, and is configured to be electrically coupled to the flush valve assembly. The body is configured to be manually actuated to control the flush valve assembly. The infrared sensor is a time-of-flight sensor configured to detect the distance of an object in a detection region of the infrared sensor to control the flush valve assembly.

A power supply system for a toilet includes a controller power supply circuit, including an input end electrically connected to an external power supply and an output end. The system includes an assembly driving power supply circuit, including an input end electrically connected to the external power supply and an output end. The power supply system also includes a controller circuit, including a power supply end electrically connected to the output end of the controller power supply circuit and an output end communicably connected to a control end of a switch control circuit of the assembly driving power supply circuit. The system also includes a driving component circuit, including a power supply end electrically connected to the output end of the assembly driving power supply circuit. An output power of the controller power supply circuit is lower than an output power of the assembly driving power supply circuit.
