A water heater () is suitable for point-of-use applications. The water heater includes a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, and a controller connected to the first and second temperature sensors. The controller is configured to receive the signals generated by the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor and to detect a flow condition of water within the heat without using mechanical flow detection means and without supplying stand-by heating by adding an absolute value of the sensed change in temperature of water at the first temperature sensor to the absolute value of the sensed change in temperature of water at the second temperature sensor to yield a sum and then comparing the sum to a reference temperature.

Tankless water heater

A water heater with a housing having an internal chamber, an inlet port, and an outlet port; a heating element coupled to the housing; a water inlet line; a water outlet line; an inlet temperature sensor within the water inlet line; an outlet temperature sensor within the water outlet line; and a controller electrically connected to the inlet temperature sensor, the outlet temperature sensor, and the electrically power heating element. The controller is operable to detect a flow condition without using mechanical flow detection means and without supplying stand-by heating by adding an absolute value of the sensed change in temperature of water flowing upstream from the inlet port to the absolute value of the sensed change in temperature of the water flowing downstream from the outlet port to yield a sum and comparing the sum to a reference temperature.

A water heater () is suitable for point-of-use applications. The water heater includes a tank housing () and one or more electrically powered heating elements (). A water inlet line () and a water outlet line () may be molded as a unitary structure with the tank housing. The water outlet line includes a lower port () and an upper port () for mixing water in the outlet line. The housing may be mounted such that its axis is either vertical or horizontal.

An airborne vehicle lighting control apparatus and method for automatically controlling activation and deactivation of an airborne vehicle lighting system. A processor for automatically controlling the lighting system can be employed and having one or more sensors operatively connected to the processor for sensing the current flight operating mode and geographical position of an airborne vehicle. The processor can activate or deactivate lighting based on the current flight operating mode and position.

Method and apparatus for automatically controlling airborne vehicle lighting systems

An automatic trim system and method is disclosed for automatically trimming a flight control surface of an aircraft. A force sensor measures a force applied by a pilot to a flight control system actuator. The length of time that the force is applied by the pilot is then timed by a timer. A trim system to reduce the applied force is included on the flight control surfaces. A processor determines if trim is required if a predetermined amount of time is exceeded based on the force sensor measurement. The processor can set the trim system to the trim required therein. An airspeed sensor is used to verify that the aircraft has sufficient speed for flight. A force sensor can be utilized to measure the input force being applied by the pilot. If a pilot input force is applied to the controls and the aircraft is in a steady state, a timer can be activated. If the force sensor continues to sense a force after the timer times for a predetermined time, the trim can be adjusted in the appropriate direction until the force sensor measures no significant pilot input force.
