摘要： A disposable dryer for point-of-use installation in an air/gas line delivering compressed air or gas to an air/gas-driven tool. A generally tubular main body has first and second main body sections, each having a generally tubular wall and an integral end closure. A coupling member interconnects the main body sections. Loose desiccant beads are retained by and substantially fill the main body from one end closure to the other. Inlet and outlet connectors are respectively provided on the main body sections for connection to a compressed air/gas line. The inlet and outlet connectors have air/gas passages in fluid communication with the drying composition. The dryer can be fabricated by molding the first and second main body sections, substantially filling the first main body section with the drying composition, locating the first and second main body sections in mutual adjacent relationship inside a mold cavity, and molding the coupling member thereon.

摘要： A tire fill nozzle having an integrated dryer for drying compressed air or gas delivered to a tire. According to exemplary disclosed embodiments, the tire fill nozzle comprises a main body, an inlet connector on the main body adapted to engage an air/gas line, an outlet connector on the main body adapted to engage a tire valve stem, and a dryer in the main body adapted to dry air/gas passing through the nozzle. The dryer may comprise a drying composition, such as a desiccant, that can be permanently disposed within the main body or optionally disposed within a replaceable cartridge. Further optional features of the tire fill nozzle include (1) an integrated dryness indicator provided by a dryness indicating material, such as a color-changing desiccant, within a transparent or translucent portion of the nozzle (or an indicating cartridge) such that the dryness indicating material is visible from outside the nozzle, (2) an integrated air/gas filter, (3) a tire valve fitting at the inlet end, (4) a fitting at the outlet end adapted to threadably engage a tire valve stem, and (5) an integrated tire pressure gauge comprising an analog or digital display.

摘要： A system and method for determining whether an article is new or used; and if used, the extent of usage. A smart tag, or smart tag, integrates into the article. The smart tag has integrated therein, data, which related to the article. A tag reader communicates a query to the smart tag to obtain the data. A non-volatile memory contains the item manufacturer, a serial number, and an item identity. A one-time-activation circuit determines if the article is ‘NEW’ or ‘USED’. A sensing element contains a ‘wakeup’ process to respond to a query, or, to monitor and log usage. Usage is categorized to a density, a sequence, an interval, and an amplitude algorithm of movement as being representative of the scale of usage. This data stores in the non-volatile memory. A tag reader, or tag reader queries the smart tag to access the logged data.
