Actuator Assembly for a Fluid Control Device
A fluid control device includes a body having an inlet, an outlet, and a fluid flow path between the inlet and the outlet, a seat, and a control element that is coupled to a stem. The control element and the stem are movable along a first axis and biased toward a closed position in which the control element engages the seat. The fluid control device includes an actuator assembly including a shaft that is operatively coupled to the stem via a Scotch yoke mechanism such that rotation of the shaft in a first rotational direction causes movement of the stem and control element along the first axis in a first translational direction. The actuator assembly includes a trigger mechanism that is responsive to fluid pressure and prevents rotation of the shaft in a first mode of operation and releases the shaft to allow rotation in a second mode of operation.

VALVE ASSEMBLY
A pressure relief valve assembly may include a housing having an inner lumen, a pin configured to engage the housing, and a spring coupled to the pin. The spring may bias the pin in a closed position relative to the inner lumen of the housing and axially extend when the pin is adjusted from the closed position to an opened position.

System for measuring high pressure of in-tank regulator
A system for measuring pressure of an in-tank regulator includes a direct-pipe flow path which directly communicates with an inside of a high-pressure container, a high-pressure sensor, of which a portion is movable into the direct-pipe flow path, fastened to and separated from the direct-pipe flow path, and a shut-off valve disposed on the direct-pipe flow path between the high-pressure container and the high-pressure sensor, wherein when the high-pressure sensor is separated from the direct-pipe flow path, the direct-pie flow path is sealed by the shut-off valve.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
A pressure relief valve includes a first port that receives a first gas at an input pressure, a second port that receive a second gas at a regulating pressure, a third port in communication with the first port via an orifice and that outputs the first gas at an output pressure and a piston movable along an axis and configured to control the passage of gas through the orifice between the first port and the second port, such that the output pressure of the gas is dependent on the axial position of the piston. The valve also in include a resilient member configured to bias the piston and the valve comprises a chamber at least partly defined by the piston and in fluid communication with the second port, such that the force exerted by the gas within the chamber on the piston acts against the action of the resilient member.

CAPLESS CLOSURE ASSEMBLY FOR FUEL-TANK FILLER PIPE
A capless filler pipe closure is provided for a tank filler pipe. The capless closure permits a fuel pump nozzle to be inserted into the tank filler pipe without first removing a fuel cap from the outer end of the tank filler pipe.

AN IMPROVED DRILL STRING SAFETY VALVE DEVICE
A drill string safety valve device (1) has a body (2) with a through-going flow bore (25) and connectors (3, 4) at respective ends (19, 18) for connection to tubulars, such as pipe joints. A valve member (7; 29) is movably arranged in said flow bore (25) and configured for being set in one of two states: a first state of the valve member allows fluid to flow in both directions though the flow bore, and a second state of the valve member allows fluid flow through the flow bore in only one direction. The valve member may be a rotatable ball valve (7) with a through-going flow bore (21).
