摘要:
A two-part connector (1) is provided for use in connecting and disconnecting fluid carrying conduits. The connector comprises lower and upper parts (2, 3) each having four fluid carrying duct (15) therethrough, and a valve member (17) for each duct. Each duct in the lower part (2) is aligned with its respective duct in the upper part (3) when the two connector parts are connected together. The connector has clamps (24) for retaining the lower and upper parts (2, 3) together in sealing engagement. The clamps are mounted on the upper connector part (3) and are pivotable thereabout. Hydraulic pistons are used to move the clamps, the clamps being located in a first position pivoted away from the connector whilst the lower and upper parts (2, 3) are being aligned relative to each other. The pistons are operable to pivot the clamps to a second position adjacent the connector and then to cause the clamps to move to a third position so as to engage the lower part (2) so that the two parts are clamped together in sealing engagement.

Data can be stored in unencrypted form in an electronic device such as a smart card. The data will only be made available in response to successful execution of a mutual authentication process. Subsequently, when mutual authentication has been successfully completed, the data is made available to the host.
