CONICAL ROTATION VALVE
A rotary valve, comprising a valve housing with a valve chamber, wherein the valve chamber has a chamber wall in which at least two fluid openings are provided, wherein the valve chamber has a receiving opening on the end face side, wherein the valve chamber accommodates a valve core, wherein the valve core is provided with a channel structure which interacts with the fluid openings, wherein the valve core is supported in the valve chamber in a rotationally movable manner, wherein the valve chamber is formed in a conical shape.
TORQUE REDUCTION VALVE HAVING SEPARATE STATIC SEAL AND DYNAMIC SEAL
A valve assembly includes a plug extending along a central axis and including a plug body having an external plug surface. The external plug surface tapers radially outwardly in a first direction along the central axis. The valve assembly further includes a sleeve having an internal sleeve surface defining an interior cavity. The internal sleeve surface tapers radially outwardly in the first direction. The plug body is positioned within the interior cavity of the sleeve. The plug is rotatable about the central axis relative to the sleeve, and the plug is also translatable along the central axis relative to the sleeve.
Valve position indicators
A rotational valve includes a valve closure element, a shaft, at least one detection element, at least one detection engagement means, at least one first stop and at least one second stop. The shaft is linked to the valve closure element and the shaft can rotate between a closed position and a fully open position. Each detection element comprises an aperture and an indicator element, the shaft extends through the aperture of at least one detection element, and each detection element is in sliding engagement with the shaft. The shaft can rotate relative to the detection element, each indicator element can move between a first and a second indicator position, each indicator element abuts a first stop when in the first indicator position and abuts a second stop when in the second indicator position.

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
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.
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.
