A clamp and gasket system secures adjoining ends of sanitary tubing together. The clamp and gasket system may include a holding member. The holding member holds the gasket to the clamp to prevent or reduce loss of or damage to the gasket. The gasket may be formed from stainless steel and seal against concave surfaces in the ends of the adjoining sanitary tubes.

A radio-frequency identification (RFID) connector, including a connector, including at least one component, and a RFID assembly connected to the connector, the RFID assembly including a RFID tag, and at least one contact arranged on the at least one component and electrically connected to the RFID tag, wherein in an unlocked state of the RFID connector, the RFID tag indicates an open state of the RFID assembly, and in a locked state of the RFID connector, the RFID tag indicates a closed state of the RFID assembly.

A clamp assembly includes a first arm, a second arm, a hinge, and a fastening arrangement. The first arm and the second arm each include a hinge end, a free end, a web between the hinge end and the free end, a curved portion between the hinge end and the web, and a curved portion between the free end and the web. The hinge pivotably connects the hinge ends. The fastening arrangement is configured to connect the free ends when the clamp assembly is in a closed position. The curved portions are configured to encircle a first structure and a second structure when the clamp assembly is in the closed position.

The invention concerns a clamp (1) for joining two connecting elements (2, 3) with abutting faces oriented transverse to a centre axis of the connecting elements. The clamp comprises a first and a second clamp element (4, 5) which are connected to each other by a pivot arrangement (6) and arranged for positioning around an area where the two connecting elements are to be joined. The clamp is provided with a locking device (9) to secure the connecting elements together when used, and the clamp is provided with an actuating device (10) which is arranged to actuate the locking device in between a locking position and a release position. The invention also concerns methods for releasing a clamp.

A system for providing a sterile fluid connection between a first fluid channel and a second fluid channel. The system includes first and second coupling elements located at an orifice of each the first and second fluid channels, respectively. The first and second coupling element each include a foil that may be peeled off their respective orifices. The system additionally includes a connecting element configured to accommodate the first and second coupling elements and to press the orifices of the first and second fluid channels against one another. Additionally, this connecting element has a recess arranged essentially in the plane of the orifices of the fluid channels for passing the foils through the connecting element.

A clamp assembly includes a first arm, a second arm, a hinge, and a fastening arrangement. The first arm and the second arm each include a hinge end, a free end, a web between the hinge end and the free end, a curved portion between the hinge end and the web, and a curved portion between the free end and the web. The hinge pivotably connects the hinge ends. The fastening arrangement is configured to connect the free ends when the clamp assembly is in a closed position. The curved portions are configured to encircle a first structure and a second structure when the clamp assembly is in the closed position.

This disclosure relates to a cam-type sanitary clamp for releasably coupling two flanged ends of a sanitary fitting, such as a tri-clover fitting. The clamp has an upper clamp ring component hinged to a lower clamp ring component, with a threaded shaft component that is pivotally connected to the lower clamp ring component, a cylindrical pivot component, and a cam-type lever component. The lever is pivotally connected to the pivot component and has a plurality of protrusions, such as lobes, that are each configured to be compressed against the slotted opening of the upper clamp ring section when the cam-type lever component is manually rotated from an open position to a closed position to secure the clamp about the flanges of a sanitary fitting.
