Abstract:
A digital valve assembly for controlling the flow of fluid from a cylinder. The valve assembly comprises a digital valve powered by a battery and a wireless charging point for receiving power wirelessly and thereby charging the battery.
Abstract:
An electronic display system for a cylinder containing compressible fluid. The display system comprises a cylinder valve which has an information display controller which is configured to receive information describing properties of the valve, the cylinder and/or the compressible fluid. Using this information, an electronic signal is generated for use by a display device to display the status of the valve, cylinder and/or compressible fluid. A local display device receives the electronic signal and displays the status on a display surface. The display surface is provided on the body of the cylinder and/or on the body of a valve guard attached to the cylinder.
Abstract:
An electronic valve assembly for a cylinder containing a compressible fluid. The valve assembly comprises a generator configured to receive a flow of compressible fluid from the cylinder through the electronic valve assembly to generate electricity. The generated electricity powers the electronic valve assembly or increases the charge stored on a store of charge such as a battery.
Abstract:
Bei einem Speicherbehälter (10), insbesondere für ein Setzgerät, umfassend eine äußere Behälterwandung (11) zur Begrenzung eines Gesamtinnenraumes (14) des Speicherbehälters (10), einen innerhalb des Gesamtinnenraumes (14) angeordneten Beutel (7) aus einem flexiblen Folienmaterial, so dass der Gesamtinnenraum (14) von dem Beutel (7) in einen Innenraum (15) zur Befüllung mit Brennstoff (17) innerhalb des Beutels (7) und einen Außenraum (16) zur Befüllung mit Außengas (18) außerhalb des Beutels (7) unterteilt ist, wobei das flexible Folienmaterial des Beutels (7) aus einem ersten und zweiten Folienmaterialteil aufgebaut ist und das erstes und zweite Folienmaterialteil an einem Verbindungsbereich (21) stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden sind und das flexible erste und zweite Folienmaterialteil je eine Folie (31) aus einem Metall umfasst, eine Entnahmevorrichtung (25), insbesondere ein Ventil (26), zum Ausleiten des Brennstoffes (17) aus dem Innenraum (15), soll eine Permeation von Stoffen zwischen dem von dem Beutel (7) abgetrennten Innenraum (15) und Außenraum (16) im Wesentliche ausgeschlossen und der Speicherbehälter (10) in der Herstellung preiswert sein. Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass die beiden Folien (31) aus dem Metall des ersten und zweiten Folienmaterialteiles (19, 20) an dem Verbindungsbereich (21) mit einer Metallverbindung (22) miteinander verbunden sind, um eine Permeation von Stoffen (17, 18) aus dem Außenraum (16) in den Innenraum (15) und umgekehrt an dem Verbindungsbereich (21) zu verhindern.
Abstract:
The CELLULAR CONTAINER is a gas container with a honeycomb structure. A container having a smaller volume with respect to the amount of gas than other structures is provided. Besides, it is the most lightweight considering the amount of gas. In this invention, the cellular container forms a basic component of wind energy recovery plants, deep-sea bottom excavators and aircraft turbine motors operated by natural gas.
Abstract:
A method of forming an inner can of a gas cartridge including securing inner can material and pre-stressing the material such that flexion thereof during gas cartridge use is distributed.
Abstract:
A gap amount (62) between a liner (53) and a reinforcement layer (55) before filling gas into a tank (30) is calculated on the basis of a tank pressure and a tank temperature in the tank (30). It is predicted whether a load larger than or equal to an allowable amount acts on the liner (53) by the gas filling on the basis of the calculated gap amount (62). When it is predicted that the load larger than or equal to the allowable amount acts on the liner (53), a filling flow rate at which the gas is filled into the tank (30) is limited in comparison with a case where it is predicted that the load larger than or equal to the allowable amount does not act on the liner (53).
Abstract:
A compact and robust gas pressure regulator for use with gas delivery systems is provided, the gas pressure regulator in one form being adapted for mounting to a gas cylinder. The gas pressure regulator includes a body defining a front portion and opposed side portions, a first gas pressure indicator mounted to a lower end of the front portion of the body, and a second gas pressure indicator mounted to an upper end of the front portion of the body. The first gas pressure indicator and the second gas pressure indicator are stacked in a vertical configuration. A pressure adjustment knob is mounted to one of the side portions of the body and horizontally relative to a longitudinal axis of the pressurized gas cylinder. An energy absorbing device is employed to absorb energy from impact loads on the pressure adjustment knob.
Abstract:
A surgical instrument for use in connection with a pneumatically powered tool having a firing mechanism operably supported therein that is movable between an unactuated position and an actuated position. In various embodiments, a drive system operably communicates with the pneumatically powered tool and is configured to selectively apply at least a drive system generated firing motion to the firing mechanism of the pneumatically powered tool to cause the firing mechanism to move from the unactuated position to the actuated position in response to a flow of gas from a source of gas fluidically coupled to said drive system. A retraction member communicates with the drive system to enable a manually generated retraction motion to be applied thereto to manually move the firing mechanism in a distal direction from the actuated position to the unactuated position.
Abstract:
The sealing connector ensures sealing between a gas cartridge having an outlet fitting and a transmission member for filling a combustion chamber of a gas fastening device having an inle't -fitting with gas and includes two internal sealing sleeves (12) for receiving the two fittings, at least one ( 16) of which is made of flexible material, with, at the bottom- of this sleeve ( 16), a flexible transverse annular partition (14) for dimensional adjustment, and an external slide (13). A rigid transverse annular partition (22) is provided at the bottom of the other (25) of the two sleeves to serve as a support for a fitting. The invention also relates to an assembly comprising the cartridge, a transmission member and an adapter comprising the connector.
