Abstract: A system with a server configured to generate data for display on a first computing device. The server configured to receive a query over a network from a web browser launched on the first computing device and to generate an output with data for transmission over the network to the first computing device. The data generates a user interface on the web browser that configures the web browser to display information about the plurality of valve assemblies. In one example, the user interface is configured to conform to a form factor that defines physical attributes of the display on the first computing device. The user interface is also configured to receive a user selection from an end user that defines the query to change the information on the user interface to relate to an individual valve assembly from among the plurality of valve assemblies.

Abstract: A method for processing operating data (e.g., position, setpoint, and pressure) for a valve assembly. The method is configured to associate characteristics of operation for the valve assembly with a root cause and/or a contributing factor. In one embodiment, the method can assign a first amplitude with a value that quantifies movement or “jump” of the valve stem that results from stick-slip on the valve assembly. The method can also assign a second amplitude with a value that quantifies a change in the data for the setpoint. The method can further ascertain the relationship or “position” of the first amplitude relative to the second amplitude, or vice versa. The method can use the relationship between the first amplitude and the second amplitude to indicate the root cause of the operation of the valve assembly.

Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus that provide functions to set and to verify the set point of a valve assembly in a single device. These embodiments forgo the need to use of two separate devices, one each to accomplish the tasks to set the set point and to verify the set point. Rather, the apparatus incorporates components that can assume different configurations including a first configuration that facilitates the task for setting the set point and a second configuration that facilitates the task of verifying the set point.

Abstract: Embodiments of a directional valve assembly that provides a single device with functionality of a two-position design for automated operation and functionality of a three-position design for manual operation. The embodiments can include a housing with a piston chamber and a spool member that transits in the housing to regulate the flow of a working fluid to a cylinder. The embodiments can also have one or more pilot operators that regulate the flow of pilot air into the piston chamber to move the spool member between two positions, i.e., two open positions. The embodiments can also have a manual operator (e.g., a lever) that can move the spool to the open positions and to a closed position. In one embodiment, the spool member is configured to remain in either a first position, a second position, or a third position in the absence of an outside stimulus on the pilot operators.

Abstract: Embodiments of a valve positioner that can maintain operation of the control valve despite failures in one or more components. These embodiments reduce downtime by allowing in-situ repair to occur on the valve positioner. In one embodiment, the valve positioner incorporates a by-pass component, which can utilize control input signals (e.g., a 4-20 mA signal) to energize one or more components (e.g., a current-to-pressure converter) to cause the control valve to modulate fluid flow without the digital microprocessor and/or related components.

Abstract: This disclosure describes new construction for rotary elements that find use in compressor devices, e.g., centrifugal compressors and blowers. This construction utilizes composite materials (e.g., carbon fiber composites) that require less machine time and reduce the weight of the rotary element, while meeting the operational characteristics of compressor devices for use in a wide range of industrial applications. In one embodiment, the rotary element has a bi-furcated material design, which uses a first material (e.g., carbon fiber) to form blades and other features of an impeller and a second material (e.g., metal) to form a sleeve with properties that can securely affix the impeller to a drive shaft of the compressor device.
