| 20080315146 | FAUCET - A faucet includes a first valve plate comprising a base material and a strengthening layer provided above the base material. An amorphous diamond material is provided above the strengthening layer. The amorphous diamond material has a coefficient of friction that is lower than that of diamond-like carbon and has a hardness that is greater than that of diamond-like carbon. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20100012194 | MULTI-MODE HANDS FREE AUTOMATIC FAUCET - A hands-free faucet comprises a proximity sensor, a logical control, a handle, a spout, and a touch control operably coupled to at least one of the spout and the handle. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100096017 | MULTI-MODE HANDS FREE AUTOMATIC FAUCET - A faucet includes a proximity sensor, a logical control, a handle, a spout, and a touch control operably coupled to at least one of the spout and the handle. The logical control includes a mode controller that changes the faucet between a first mode and a second mode in response to substantially simultaneous touching of the spout and the handle. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100186834 | FAUCET COMPONENT WITH IMPROVED COATING - A component for a faucet includes a substrate including alumina and a first material provided over at least a portion of the substrate. The first material includes titanium and carbon. The component also includes a second material provided over the first material, the second material including carbon and having carbon sp3 bonding of at least 40 percent. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100252130 | VALVE COMPONENT FOR FAUCET - A valve component for a faucet includes a substrate comprising a base material and a strengthening layer provided above the substrate in an amount sufficient to improve abrasion resistance of the substrate, the strengthening layer comprising tantalum. A layer including amorphous diamond is provided above the strengthening layer. The amorphous diamond has sp | 10-07-2010 |
