A valve assembly comprising a housing and a valve, the valve being disposed within the housing, a first indexed member integral to the housing, the first indexed member adapted to be complementary to a second indexed member, and a radio frequency identification device adapted to communicate with a radio frequency receiver, the valve being configured to align with a canister, seal the canister and open in a single movement. A drug containment device having said valve assembly is also disclosed.

The invention pertains generally to a handle which spans across two cylinders, each cylinder having a pair of collars, in which mating engagement is secured by various fastening approaches employing the peripheral ends of each handle.

An integrated fill system is provided for a vehicle. The integrated fill system can include a receptacle, a cap that mates with the receptacle, and a fill line that is in fluid communication between the receptacle and a container. The integrated fill system can further include a valve between an opening on an end of the container and an end of the fill line to allow one-way fluid communication for entry of compressed material into the container. The integrated fill system can further include a draw line on an opposite end of the container to maintain separate lines for filling and drawing compressed material into/from the container.

The present invention relates to a sealing apparatus for a high-pressure tank and a high-pressure tank comprising same, wherein the sealing apparatus comprises: a liner configured to accommodate a high-pressure fluid; a connection boss which is a metallic connector provided at an inlet of the liner and includes a first connection boss part coupled to an inner surface of the inlet and a second connection boss part coupled to an outer surface of the inlet and having a tapered shape with a relatively narrow upper side and a relatively wide lower side; and a coupling member configured to come into surface contact with an outer surface of the second connection boss part and having a tilted surface corresponding to a shape of the second connection boss part so that an inner diameter of a lower side is larger than that of an upper side.

The present disclosure provides a system for managing a pressure in an underground cryogenic liquid storage tank and a method for the same. The system includes: a storage tank, which is used for containing cryogenic liquid and is buried underground; an internal pump, which is located below a liquid level of the cryogenic liquid; an evaporator, provided with an upstream end which is in communication with a discharge end of the internal pump and a downstream end which is in communication with a head space via a vapor delivery line; a control valve, which is disposed on the vapor delivery line downstream of the evaporator; and a flow limiter, which is disposed on the vapor delivery line upstream of or downstream of the control valve. The present disclosure can realize efficient pressurization to the storage tank so as to prevent collapsing of the storage tank.

An apparatus, system, and method for temporary fluid commodity transfer stations. A fluid commodity transfer structure can include a base member, a casing, and a fluid commodity transfer system. The fluid commodity transfer system can be configured to dispense a commodity for transloading from opposite sides of the fluid commodity transfer structure. A modular fueling station system can include one or more receptacles operably coupled to a fluid commodity transfer structure to allow a fluid commodity transfer system to utilize each receptacle as a fuel reservoir. The fluid commodity transfer structure can be loaded onto an intermodal transport vehicle, unloaded at a location, deposited at the location, and be operably coupled with one or more receptacles and/or other fluid commodity transfer structures to provide fueling infrastructure for fleet vehicles or allow for the commercial transfer of fluid from one receptable to another as a mobile fluid transfer system.

A tank support assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle structure and a storage tank assembly. The storage tank assembly is held in place relative to the vehicle structure via a magnetic support system. The magnetic support system includes tank magnets affixed to the storage tank assembly and structure magnets affixed to the vehicle structure. The tank magnets interact with the structure magnets to passively provide repulsive magnetic forces that constrain movement of the storage tank assembly relative to the vehicle structure without the tank magnets mechanically engaging the structure magnets.

A method of producing a barrier layer of a pressure vessel includes applying the barrier layer to a liner and/or to a fiber-reinforced layer of the pressure vessel while a pressure difference between the internal volume and the surroundings of the pressure vessel is being maintained.

A system and a method for filling a tank are provided. The tank filling system includes tanks that are filled with predetermined fluid and a manifold that is coupled to each of the plurality of tanks in a communication manner. A first flow passage is connected to a first inlet of the manifold to supply the fluid to be filled into the plurality of tanks to the manifold and a second flow passage is connected to a second inlet of the manifold spaced apart from the first inlet of the manifold by a predetermined distance to supply the fluid to be filled into the plurality of tanks to the manifold. A controller opens and closes the first flow passage and the second flow passage.

A gas supply marine vessel and a refueling facility are described. The gas supply marine vessel includes a hull with an upper deck having an elongated cargo cavity formed therein. Gas interface modules are disposed in the cavity and extend between hull sides, each module having a plurality of fuel vessel docking stations. A plurality of stacked fuel container assemblies are fluidically coupled to the docking stations. A gantry, is movable along the length of the cavity, straddles the cargo cavity between hull sides. An articulating crane is mounted on the gantry and it utilized to move fuel container assemblies to a fuel container depression formed in the deck of a floating refueling facility. The floating refueling facility includes a concave side to facilitate mooring adjacent a shoreline, the concave side forming angled extensions at corners of the deck with a linkspan extending from each of the angled extensions.
