A fluid distribution manifold may receive a first required flow rate for a first flow of fluid that flows to a fluid handling device or a reservoir. A first operation state may be determined for a first valve assembly that regulates the first flow, the manifold may operate the first valve assembly based on the first operation state, and a first position tracker may be incremented based on the first operation. Based on a value of a cycle tracker, the manifold may identify a second valve assembly in an operation cycle and access a second control input that includes a second required flow rate for a second flow of fluid regulated by the second valve assembly. The manifold may cause the second valve assembly to operate based on at least one of a second operation state and a change in the second actual flow rate resulting from the first operation.

A system for managing flexible conduit or tubing used in pharmaceutical, bioprocess, or food/dairy applications includes a segment of flexible conduit or tubing and a plurality of conduit tracks, each conduit track including a conduit channel disposed on a first side thereof and extending along the length of each respective conduit track and dimensioned to receive the segment of flexible conduit or tubing therein, each conduit track further including a connector channel disposed on a second, opposing side and extending along the length of each respective conduit track and containing the one or more connectors that connect adjacent conduit tracks. The conduit tracks can be connected to each other or other process components.

A valved manifold module is disclosed, constructed and arranged to be readily connected in a chain with similar modules to form a manifold assembly. The modular manifolds allows for expansion or modification of the manifold assembly to control a group of pneumatically or hydraulically driven pumps, valves or combinations thereof in a liquid flow control apparatus. The valved manifold module can be configured to accept a group of four substantially identical valve assemblies, and can be controlled by a local controller mounted to the manifold module, thus forming an independently programmable valved manifold module. The resulting modular system is expandable to allow for coordinated operations of a liquid flow control system, using substantially independent controller functions originating at the manifold assembly level.

An infrastructure monitoring assembly includes a nozzle cap defining a first end and a second end, the first end defining a threaded bore configured to mount on a nozzle of a fire hydrant; a cover coupled to the nozzle cap opposite from the first end; an enclosure positioned at least partially between the cover and the first end, the enclosure at least partially defining a cavity; a monitoring device positioned within the cavity; and an antenna positioned between the cover and the first end of the nozzle cap, the antenna connected in electrical communication with the monitoring device, the antenna covered by a non-metallic material.

The present invention includes a cartridge and system utilizing the cartridge that cools a computer. The cartridge first within a server stand and urges forced fluid into the computer.

An actuator of a refrigerant valve is described, the actuator comprising a housing (5) having a chamber (12) with an opening (15) in an end face (26) of an end section (17) of the housing (5), the end section (17) having an outer thread (18), a tightening collar (6) having a radially inwardly protruding flange (20) and an inner thread (19) matching the outer thread (18), and an anchor ring (7) positionable between the tightening collar (6) and the end face (16), wherein the anchor ring (7) is elastically deformable at least in a radial direction with respect to an axis of the outer thread (18) and in a mounted condition at least partially overlaps the end face (16) and the flange (20) of the tightening collar (6), wherein a sealing ring (8) at the end face (16) shows a free side to the axial direction and is com-pressed by an axial force produced by screwing the tightening collar (6) onto the outer thread (18).

A three-way valve is disclosed. The valve achieved constant flow rate as the valve transitions from 100% flow through the first path to 100% flow through the second path. The valve is linearly actuated, which allows a plurality of valves to be efficiently disposed in a manifold. The valve comprises a spool having two passageways therethrough which converge at the input. The spool is disposed in a housing. By linear movement of the spool within the housing, the amount of the incoming flow that passes through each of the two passageways can be controlled. In certain embodiments, the spool is in communication with an actuator to control its position within the housing. The three-way valve may be used as part of a manifold.
