VALVE DEVICE
A valve device increases or decreases a flow rate of EGR gas. The valve device includes a housing, a bypass valve body, an EGR valve body. The housing includes a first upstream passage into which the EGR gas cooled by an EGR cooler flows, a second upstream passage into which the EGR gas that bypasses the EGR cooler flows, a junction connected to each of a gas-flow downstream side of the first upstream passage and a gas-flow downstream side of the second upstream passage, and a downstream passage connected to the first upstream passage and the second upstream passage via the junction. The bypass valve body opens and closes the second upstream passage. The EGR valve body is provided in the downstream passage, rotates around an EGR valve axis.
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.
Foot support systems including fluid movement controllers
Foot support systems include a fluid flow control system that facilitates movement of fluid into, out of, and/or within a sole structure and/or article of footwear, e.g., to change and/or control pressure in fluid filled bladder(s). The fluid flow control system includes: (a) a manifold body defining an internal chamber; (b) at least a first port in fluid communication with the internal chamber; (c) at least a first valve (including a first valve activator) controlling fluid flow through the first port; and (d) a movable cam at least partially within the internal chamber. Valve activator surface(s) on the cam interact with the valve activator(s) to selectively open and close valve(s) based on cam positioning.
ACTUATING MEMBER AND REVERSING VALVE
An actuating member is provided. The actuating member acts on a valve core rod. A guide surface is arranged on the actuating member. A guide path is formed on the guide surface. The guide surface is configured to slidably abut against a top end of the valve core rod, so that the top end of the valve core rod selectively abuts against a position on the guide path at a different height, so as to adjust a position of the valve core rod in a valve port of a reversing valve, thereby changing a flow area at the valve port.

DUAL ACTUATING TILTING SLIT VALVE
Disclosed is a wafer processing system, a dual gate system, and methods for operating these systems. The dual gate system may have a shaft, a first gate and a second gate coupled to the shaft at opposite sides thereof, and an actuator coupled to the shaft. The actuator is configured to tilt together the shaft, the first gate, and the second gate to a first sealed gate position or to a second sealed gate position. The actuator can be operated using a pneumatic mechanism, an electro-magnetic mechanism, or a cam follower mechanism.
