A system may include a hose assembly and a controller. The hose assembly may comprise a plurality of sensor devices configured to generate sensor data regarding the hose assembly. The sensor data may include at least one of first sensor data regarding a bend radius of a first portion of the hose assembly, or second sensor data regarding an amount of torque at a second portion of the hose assembly. The controller may be configured to receive the sensor data from the plurality of sensor devices; determine a remaining life of the hose assembly based on the sensor data; and perform an action based on the remaining life of the hose assembly.

The present invention relates to a method for sterilizing at least one object, wherein the object is exposed to a sterilization agent, wherein at least one first support pressure and at least one second support pressure are applied and wherein a sterilization of a first region of the object takes place by the sterilization agent at the first support pressure and a sterilization of a second region of the object takes place at the second support pressure. The present invention furthermore relates to a sterilizing apparatus and to a use herefor.

A high pressure hose that is resistant to microvoid formation includes an inner tube comprising a blend of crosslinked fluoroplastic material and fluoroelastomeric material, a first reinforcement layer constructed of para-aramid synthetic fibers, and an adhesive layer, and an outer cover.

Flexible pipe body, a flexible pipe and a method of manufacturing pipe body are disclosed. The flexible pipe body comprises a tensile armour layer and a supporting layer radially outside, or radially inside, and in an abutting relationship with the tensile armour layer. The supporting layer comprises a helically wound constraining tape element and a helically wound electrically conductive tape element.

A hose assembly, preferably a garden hose assembly, including a fabric jacketed tube that is lightweight, durable and versatile. The tube is radially expandable when pressurized by a fluid, such as water, but does not increase in length. The two layer construction of the hose assembly allows for storage in relatively compact spaces, similar flow rates, approximately one-half the weight, and improved maneuverability when compared to conventional hose constructions. In one embodiment the jacket is formed around the tube in a continuous process that welds a fabric, preferably using hot air, into the jacket. The welded joint forms a region of jacket that is preferably about twice the thickness of the rest of the jacket. This thicker region results in a stiffer section of jacket that makes the hose more controllable and consistent in use.

A tubing assembly for a work vehicle includes a tube having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is configured to fluidly couple to a fluid source. The tubing assembly also includes a fitting positioned at the second end of the tube. The fitting includes a first radially-expanded portion configured to engage a first side of a plate that is configured to form part of a chassis of the work vehicle, a threaded portion configured to extend through an opening in the plate, and a second radially-expanded portion configured to engage a second side of the plate to trap the plate between the first radially-expanded portion and the second radially-expanded portion, thereby coupling the tube to the plate.

Disclosed is a flexible plastic hose (1) comprising a tubular hose body (2) having web portions (7) and a helical reinforcing rib (8), and a cuff (3a) mounted to an extremity (16) of the hose body (2) comprising a molded end fitting (5a) bonded to the extremity (16a), and a stress relief element (4) with a first segment (S1) having an internal screw-thread (15) complementary to the helical reinforcing rib (8). Disclosed is also a method for making same, and use of the hose (1) as a medical hose.

The present disclosure relates generally to loose fill insulation installation systems, for example, suitable for installing loose fill insulation to an installation site. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a loose fill insulation hose including a first hose section, a second hose section and a first connection module including a first side attached to a distal end of the first hose section and a second side attached to a proximal end of the second hose section. The first connection module includes an interior surface including a conductive area. The loose fill insulation hose also includes a grounding wire electrically connected to the conductive area of the interior surface of the first connection module. The grounding wire is electrically isolated from the internal surface of the first hose section and the internal surface of the second hose section.
