A system for filling multiple sterile containers includes a filter with an inlet port and multiple outlet ports, the outlet ports being pre-attached to sterile containers by respective filling lines of each container. Each container has an interior and each of the respective filling lines are connected to a respective container interior. The respective filling lines are sealed to the outlet ports and the containers such that the container interiors are isolated from an external environment except the inlet port, via the filter, forming a combined interior volume which is sterile. A container that is connectable to an outlet port the system has a bladder, a first tube and a second tube connected to the bladder, and a sterilizing filter. The container, the first tube and the second tube, and the sterilizing filter are sterile before water is flowed through the sterilizing filter into the bladder.

The invention relates to an evaluation tool and method for inspecting the integrity of any physical industry connections (hereinafter fittings). The tool comprises a first component (21) provided with a recess (23) to facilitate its engagement with a fitting to be evaluated (see FIG. 10); and a second component (20) connected to, and moveable relative to, the first component (21). Movement of the second component (20) relative to the first component (21) establishes a measurement between two surfaces (32, 33 in FIG. 10) of a fitting (34) to be evaluated, e.g. between an adjustable ferrule or nut (32) and a fixed part (33) of a fitting (34). The measurement is directly (27, 28), or indirectly, indicative of one or more predetermined connection conditions (e.g. over or under tightening of the adjustable component). The predetermined connection conditions may be read directly from the tool, remotely via an electronic device, or by late cross-referencing against entries in a database.

A in-service repair method combing externally bonded pre-stressed FRP and polymer grouting for PCCP with broken wire, includes excavating PCCP, supporting the PCCP, treating outer wall of PCCP, bonded an external of the PCCP with pre-stressed FRP for repairing, laying grouting pipe, backfilling and grouting for densing. First of all, excavating a PCCP pipeline to be repaired and supporting the PCCP pipeline with a supporting device, smoothing the outer wall of the PCCP pipeline at a broken wire position and applying primer, and winding the FRP around a damaged portion of the PCCP pipeline, pre-stressing the FRP by applying a pre-stressing device and applying dipping glue to the FRP after tension to stick the FRP on the pipe wall, then laying a grouting pipe, backfilling the pipeline repaired, and finally injecting polymer into the soil after backfilling and compacting the soil by the grouting pipe pre-buried.

A buoyancy module for use with a water environment robotic system of the type having an underwater robotic vehicle having a winch has a buoyancy configuration which can be selectively altered. The system includes a module that is configured to be repeatedly, selectively buoyantly engaged and buoyantly disengaged with the underwater robotic vehicle. A tether is connected to the module and is extendable and retractable in response to operation of the winch. Extending and retracting the module can buoyantly engage or buoyantly disengage the buoyancy module with the underwater robotic vehicle according to the operation of a state controller. By engaging and disengaging the buoyancy module, the buoyancy of the underwater robot can be selectively altered. A method is also disclosed.

A fluid delivery system having a safety system with interchangeable parts. Also a safety system having a conduit specifically designed to withstand ultra high-pressure fluids exceeding 24,000 psi.

A single piece expansion plug and method of using the same in connection with a tool is provided. The plug has an inner recess extending partially into a top of the plug, the inner recess defining a tapered inner wall. The plug is installed with a tool having a tapered end at a greater angle with respect to the taper inner wall. The tool presses against the tapered inner wall to expand the plug against a hole. The tool includes a pin that retracts against a spring to seat the plug in the hole to be sealed such that the pin contacts the plug prior to the tapered inner wall and tapered end coming into contact.

A spring-loaded pressure indicator inside the low side quick-coupler of the automotive air conditioner recharge hose. As the user adds refrigerant, the user can look at the pressure indicator on the quick-coupler to determine either the correct refrigerant charge has been reached or that it is approaching the correct refrigerant charge so that the user can stop charging and check the vent temperature in the passenger compartment.
