Abstract: A shower device includes an elongated hollow waterway, a spray head configured to emit water, and a valve. The elongated hollow waterway extends in a longitudinal direction and has a first end configured to receive water, a second end, and an internal fluid passage extending from the first end to the second end. The second end has a port extending in a radial direction from the internal fluid passage through the waterway. The valve is configured to control a water flow rate from the internal fluid passage of the waterway to the spray head. The valve includes a valve body that surrounds the port and a control member operatively coupled to the valve body and surrounding at least a portion of the valve body. Rotation of the control member and valve body relative to the waterway provides a variable adjustment of the water flow rate to the spray head.

Abstract: An electric machine includes a rotor, a stator, at least one measurement circuit, and a controller. The rotor includes a plurality of salient poles arranged radially around a rotation axis of the electric machine and spaced apart from the rotation axis of the electric machine. The stator includes a plurality of coils configured to selectively align with the plurality of salient poles of the rotor. The at least one measurement circuit is configured to measure at least one current through at least one of the plurality of coils. The measured current includes a current ripple. The controller configured to compute a position of the rotor based on a characteristic of the current ripple.

Abstract: FIG. 1 is a perspective view according to a first embodiment of the claimed design;
FIG. 2 is a front view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a rear view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a side view thereof;
FIG. 5 is another side view thereof;
FIG. 6 is a top view thereof;
FIG. 7 is a bottom view thereof;
FIG. 8 is a perspective view according to a second embodiment of the claimed design;
FIG. 9 is a front view thereof;
FIG. 10 is a rear view thereof;
FIG. 11 is a side view thereof;
FIG. 12 is another side view thereof;
FIG. 13 is a top view thereof; and,
FIG. 14 is a bottom view thereof.
The ornamental design that is claimed is shown in the drawings as solid lines and surfaces having surface shading. The broken lines in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design. For example, broken lines formed by equal length dashes show unclaimed portions of the design. Broken lines formed of unequal length dashes (i.e., dash-dot) show boundaries between either claimed and unclaimed portions of the design or between unclaimed and unclaimed portions of the design. Break lines having a jagged element are not part of the claimed design and show unspecified lengths of the portion are possible. The appearance of any portion of the article between the break lines forms no part of the claimed design.

Abstract: A fluid control valve includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, which, when combined, define a first channel, a second channel, a third channel, and a fourth channel. Each of the channels is defined by a combination of at least two of the portions. The fluid control valve further includes a first diverter and a second diverter. The first diverter and the second diverter are each movable between a first position and a second position to selectively control a flow of fluid through at least one of the chambers.
