Circumferentially-sectioned valve cages are disclosed. An example apparatus comprises a plurality of cage sections collectively configured to be removably coupled together to form a valve cage having a circumference and a plurality of joints. The joints correspond in number to the cage sections and are spaced apart from one another about the circumference. Respective ones of the joints are defined by neighboring ones of the cage sections.

An encapsulated valve system includes a first housing portion having a first facing surface, the first facing surface comprising a plurality of branch pathways formed as a recess within the first facing surface. The valve system further includes a second housing portion having a second facing surface, the second facing surface comprising a plurality of branch pathways formed as a recess within the second facing surface. A disposable conduit is configured to be interposed between the first and second housing portions and disposed within the recess of the first facing surface and the recess of the second facing surface. The disposable conduit is thus sandwiched between the first and second facing surfaces. A plurality of pinch valve actuators are mounted on one or both of the first housing portion and the second housing portion, the plurality of pinch valve actuators configured to pinch the disposable conduit at selective branch pathways.

A fast blind plate switching device is provided, including a sealing structure, a clamping structure, a support structure and an execution mechanism. The blind plate has an open-state and a blind-state. The support structure is used for connecting pipelines at two sides and providing support for the whole device. The clamping structure and the sealing structure are located inside the support structure. The clamping structure is driven by the execution mechanism, and under the drive of the execution mechanism, the clamping structure presses on the blind plate to eliminate a gap between two sides of the blind plate, so that sealing is formed by means of the sealing structure. When a gap is formed away from the blind plate, the open/state and the blind state of the blind plate is switched.

A valve includes a sleeve, a shaft supported inside the sleeve such as to be movable linearly and having one end positioned more forward than a first end face of the sleeve, a valve body extending sideways from one end of the shaft, an elastic member surrounding the sleeve and fixedly joined to an outer side face of the sleeve, a press-fit seal part connected to the elastic member and press-fit into a valve attachment hole of a component to which the valve is mounted to make a contact with an inner side face of the valve attachment hole, and a valve seat seal part connected to the elastic member and covering the first end face of the sleeve, for the valve body to make a contact with and separate from.

The present invention is an elastic (mechanically stretchable), sanitizing pouch configured to receive and hold an Electronic Device of a predetermined configuration. The elasticity of the fabric used maximizes surface contact with the Electronic Device and, the closeness of the fabric of the invention with the outside surfaces of the Electronic Device. A liftable and removable cover flap on the front of the invention is used to hold and access the inside of the invention. The back of the invention includes at least one pocket. The invention further includes a pull tab to help lift an Electronic Device out of the invention. While inside the invention, the silver ions are released in the fabric and inhibit the colonization of bacteria, viruses and fungus on the Electronic Device.
