Nano filtering and pumping systems and methods of use thereof for nanoscale gaseous materials by utilizing materials having nanosized perforations through the materials. The perforations generally have an inner diameter similar to that of nanotubes, and in some embodiments, carbon nanotubes are disposed within the perforations. Such materials can partially organize molecules in random motion to move either some selectively or all of them, to create pressure differences and hence motive forces, or cause air flow into pressurized area. Because air is a cloud of particles separated by vacuum, the systems and method in air can be used to create motive force pushing any form of vehicle, lifting force for any form of air vehicle, air compression, power source for any form of machine, conveyor or generator, using the solar energy stored in the air in the form of heat, 24 hours a day, worldwide.

A valve cartridge for insertion into a valve block for a manifold valve for accommodating a valve in the valve cartridge includes at least one through opening for the passage of fluid flowing to the valve and a filter device for filtering the fluid. The valve cartridge includes a first part and a second part, which are interconnected in such a way that the through opening is formed by the first and second part, the filter device being arranged between the first part and the second part.

Embodiments of a valve having a housing including an inlet, an outlet, and an interior chamber in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet are disclosed. The valve also includes a seat fitting having a first screen held in place by a first retainer ring. The seat fitting includes a valve seat. The valve further includes an outlet fitting having a second screen held in place by a second retainer ring. The second retainer ring includes a plurality of ribs extending from a ring body such that the plurality of ribs create a gap between the ring body and the second screen. Further, the valve includes a valve plug configured to selectively engage the valve seat to open and close a passage between the interior chamber and the outlet. The seat fitting is contained at least partially within the outlet fitting to define the outlet of the housing.

A solenoid valve includes a support bushing and an armature pin axially movable within the support bushing. The solenoid shield further includes a valve rigidly secured to the armature pin. The valve includes a diverter sleeve having an overlap portion that is radially spaced from at least a portion of the support bushing and extends along a length of at least a portion of the support bushing. The diverter sleeve further includes a deflector surface disposed at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the armature pin.

A valve assembly includes a valve, an actuator for opening and closing the valve, and a positioner for controlling the actuator. At least one limit switch assembly is mounted between the positioner and the actuator. The limit switch assembly connects the actuator and positioner so that movement of the actuator valve is conveyed to the positioner through the limit switch assembly. The limit switch assembly is configured to provide a limit signal when the valve is in one or more limit positions. The limit switch assembly has a calibration mechanism for adjusting the one or more limit positions using an input member accessible from outside of the limit switch housing when the limit switch is installed in the valve assembly.

A vehicle fuel supply structure with an improved fuel filter for easy maintenance of the fuel filter. A vehicle fuel supply structure includes fuel in a fuel tank that is sucked by a fuel pump and supplied to a fuel injection valve disposed in a throttle body via a secondary fuel filter adapted to filter the fuel to remove foreign matter therein. A regulator is provided for regulating fuel pressure. The secondary fuel filter, the regulator and the fuel injection valve are connected by fuel pipes. A third fuel filter is installed at least in an inlet side connecting portion between the regulator and a regulator inlet side fuel pipe, of the fuel pipes, on the side where fuel enters the regulator.
