An irrigation management system is disclosed and positionable in-line with an irrigation pipe for monitoring and controlling a flow of fluid therethrough. In at least one embodiment, the system provides an inlet pipe and an opposing outlet pipe in serial fluid communication with the irrigation pipe. At least one fluid control valve is in serial fluid communication between the inlet pipe and outlet pipe for selectively controlling the flow of fluid therebetween. The fluid control valve provides a main valve and a hydraulic actuator for selectively moving the main valve between open and closed positions. The hydraulic actuator is also in serial fluid communication between a pair of actuator valves for moving the hydraulic actuator between open and closed positions. The system also provides at least one sample collection tank configured for temporarily storing a volume of fluid diverted from the irrigation pipe in order to be tested.

A pressure supply unit for a brake system including a booster body that defines an axially extending cylinder. A piston is slideable within the cylinder. The piston defines a bore that receives a spindle. The spindle is rotationally fixed and axially moveable for providing the axial movement of the piston. A motor is positioned about the spindle and is configured to axially translate the spindle and piston. A ball and socket joint connects the piston and spindle while accommodating pivoting movement of the spindle. The ball and socket joint includes a ball at a front end of the spindle and a socket in the bore of the piston which receives the ball.

The disclosure provides a blowout preventer system including: a hydraulic circuit, a blowout preventer including a ram having an open port and a close port, a hydraulic fluid tank, a hydraulic fluid pump, and a control valve. The hydraulic circuit includes: a first accumulator, a first valve, and a second valve. The control valve is coupled to the open port, the close port, and the hydraulic fluid tank. The first accumulator is coupled to the control valve by way of the first valve and to the close port by way of the second valve. The first valve allows hydraulic fluid to flow from the control valve to the first accumulator but prevents hydraulic fluid from flowing back to the control valve. When the control valve is in the open position, the second valve is closed, and when the control valve is in the close position, the second valve is open.
