Abstract:
A pneumatic controller for controlling a process advantageously reduces fluid consumption by providing a proportional adjustment to a feedback signal. The pneumatic controller comprises a pneumatic control stage such as a relay, a process pressure detector, and a rack-and-pinion feedback assembly. The a rack-and-pinion feedback assembly provides the proportional adjustment of the feedback signal, thereby reducing the fluid consumption of the pneumatic controller.
Abstract:
A flood control device (200) which measures the volume of fluid delivered in a continuous steady flow to a house or building and which shuts off the fluid flow if a preset maximum limit is reached, indicating overly high consumption due to a leak, break or open faucet in the plumbing of the housing of building.

Abstract:
The device includes a base (4) on which a knob (12), which is intended to be fixed to a control member of the tap, is rotatable to regulate the gas-flow. The knob is associated with a resilient return device (34, 28) which is adapted to assume a preloaded configuration, in which it stores elastic energy as a result of the rotation of the knob (12) in the sense which corresponds to the opening of the tap, and to return the knob (12) to the position in which the tap is closed as a result of its resilient returning action. The device has a stop mechanism (46, 30) for restraining the resilient return device in its preloaded configuration. There is also a timing device (54) with a release member (64) for releasing the resilient return device from the stop mechanism.
