PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE ASSEMBLY FOR QUICK DISCONNECT FITTINGS
A quick disconnect fitting includes a plug and a socket to receive the plug. The plug includes a fluid channel, an inlet to the fluid channel, and a pressure regulating valve assembly. The valve can include a poppet, and a valve nozzle comprising an orifice. The valve assembly resides in the fluid channel. The socket includes a socket stem to contact the valve assembly and push the valve assembly into the fluid channel of the plug upon the socket receiving the plug.
Sealing High Pressure Flow Devices
Apparatus and method contemplating a high pressure fluid end assembly having a body defining a body bore and defining a recess in the body intersecting the body bore. A closure is joined to the body and forms a sealing surface. A seal is mounted to the body in the recess and configured to extend from the recess beyond the body bore to seal against the sealing surface formed by the closure.
Detachable tap having a spring element for fastening and prestressing
A tap for producing and disconnecting a fluidic connection between at least two connector parts. The tap includes one connecting and disconnecting element, a manual actuating element for rotating the connecting and disconnecting element. The manual actuating element and the connecting and disconnecting element are coupled mechanically. The tap includes a main body having at least one connector part and an interior space for receiving the connecting and disconnecting element, the interior space includes a contact surface for being brought into contact with the connecting and disconnecting element.
Sealing High Pressure Flow Devices
Apparatus and method contemplating a high pressure fluid end assembly having a body defining a body bore and defining a groove in the body intersecting the body bore. A closure is joined to the body and forms a sealing surface. A seal is mounted to the body in the groove and configured to extend from the groove beyond the body bore to seal against the sealing surface formed by the closure.

Sealing high pressure flow devices
A fluid end assembly comprising a housing having multiple conduits formed therein. A tubular sleeve is installed within one of the conduits and is configured to house a plurality of packing seals. A seal is installed within a groove formed in the walls of the housing surrounding the tubular sleeve such that the seal engages an outer surface of the tubular sleeve.

WATER CONTROL DEVICE
A water control device that can be introduced into the main water supply line for a structure configured for automatic direct water allocation has a manifold with an inlet port and an outlet port in fluid communication with one another and a quarter turn valve disposed between the inlet and outlet ports and in fluid communication therewith. The quarter turn valve has a truncated conical shaped valve body that fits within a well in the manifold, the valve body having spaced apart solid side walls which define openings within opposite side walls, such that rotation of the valve body by a quarter turn will align either an opening or a solid side wall with the inlet and outlets ports for the well, thus alternately permitting or disrupting the flow of water through the valve. The valve body further includes a plurality of spaced apart cam projections on a bottom surface thereof, the cam projections cooperating with a plurality of spaced apart cam projections disposed on a bottom surface of the well such that the valve body undergoes vertical displacement as it rotates.
ENHANCED DESIGN FOR PLUG VALVE
Provided is a plug valve. The plug valve, in one example, includes a valve body having inlet and outlet seal inserts disposed within a central chamber thereof, a plug member disposed, in the central chamber, and a bonnet disposed at least partially within the central chamber and removably coupled to the valve body. The plug valve, in this example, further includes one or more substantially axial compression members positioned between the bonnet and the inlet and outlet seal inserts.
FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL
An evaporative emissions control system includes a first vent valve configured to selectively open and close a first vent, a second vent valve configured to selectively open and close a second vent, a fuel level sensor configured to sense a fuel level in the fuel tank, a pressure sensor configured to sense a pressure in the fuel tank, an accelerometer configured to measure an acceleration of the vehicle, and a controller configured to regulate operation of the first and second vent valves to provide pressure relief for the fuel tank. The controller is programmed to determine if a refueling event is occurring based one signals indicating the fuel level is increasing, the pressure in the fuel tank is increasing, and the vehicle is not moving, and open at least one of the first and second vent valves based on determining the refueling event is occurring.
