Fluid supply system
A fluid supply system includes: a coupling manifold disposed in parallel to mutually facing end portions of the multiple-unit manifolds that are adjacent to each other; a first fluid control device connecting one of the end portions of the multiple-unit manifolds that are adjacent to each other to the coupling manifold; and a second fluid control device connecting the other one of the end portions of the multiple-unit manifolds that are adjacent to each other to the coupling manifold, in which the coupling manifold has a communication passage that establishes communication of combined flow passages of the multiple-unit manifolds that are adjacent to each other via the first and second fluid control devices.
PLUG INTEGRATED STAGED VALVE TRIM ASSEMBLY AND FLUID CONTROL VALVE COMPRISING SAME
A fluid valve includes a valve body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A fluid passageway connects the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. A trim assembly is located within the fluid passageway, the trim assembly controlling fluid flow through the fluid passageway. The trim assembly includes valve plug having an integrated staged pressure recovery.
BONNET AND STUFFING BOX ASSEMBLY
A bonnet and stuffing box assembly includes a bonnet defining a bonnet bore; a stuffing box connected to the bonnet, the stuffing box defining a stuffing box bore, the stuffing box bore and bonnet bore defining an assembly bore; a bushing assembly received in the assembly bore and comprising a stuffing box bushing and a bonnet bushing, the stuffing box bushing defining a narrow portion disposed in the stuffing box bore and a wide portion at least partially disposed in the bonnet bore, the bonnet bushing disposed in the bonnet bore and confronting the wide portion of the stuffing box bushing, the bushing assembly defining a bushing bore extending through the stuffing box bushing and the bonnet bushing; and a stem extending through the bushing bore.

VALVE CAP
A valve assembly for mounting on a substrate via rotational engagement with a base of the valve assembly, and a cap for such a valve assembly. A body of the cap is rotatably engageable with the base between opposing first and second terminal ends. At each of the first and second terminal ends, the body and the base abut each other to prevent rotation between the body and the base. As a result, torque applied to the cap is transmitted to the base to vary rotational engagement of the base with the substrate. A slot formed in the cap may be suitable to receive a protrusion on the base and may fork into two separate portions that terminate in opposing terminal ends to allow selective engagement of the protrusion with the two portions. The protrusion abuts against the terminal ends to transmit torque from the cap to the base.

Valve for regulating the flow of a liquid
A new valve for regulating the flow of liquid has two housings that are removably attached to one another. When the housings are separated, the liquid can no longer pass through the valve. A system of magnetic elements is used to cycle the flow of liquid (urine) through the valve. The valve is typically connected to an indwelling bladder catheter and the valve allows the patient to be at least temporarily disconnected from a collection bag.
