Abstract: Methods are provided that include positioning a disinfection apparatus in proximity to a cabinet, wherein the disinfection apparatus has a base supporting a germicidal source and the base includes components operationally coupled to the germicidal source for operating the germicidal source. The method further includes inserting the germicidal source into the cabinet such that at least a portion of the base is retained exterior to the cabinet and is operationally coupled to the germicidal source. Moreover, the method includes placing one or more items into the cabinet, closing the cabinet with the germicidal source and the one or more items in the cabinet and the base of the disinfection apparatus exterior to the cabinet, and then subsequently starting the disinfection source such that the germicidal source emits a germicide into the cabinet. Systems and cabinets used to conduct the aforementioned methods are also provided.

Abstract: A valve assembly for an artificial lift system can include a cage defining a bore therethrough, a valve seat, and a ball disposed within the cage. In a closed position, the ball seals against the valve seat. Upon application of sufficient pressure, the ball lifts from the valve seat to open the valve and allow fluid to flow through the bore. An interior surface of the cage surrounding the bore includes a flow profile that improves fluid flow through the cage. The flow profile can include a plurality of flanges protruding inwardly into the bore from the interior surface and extending helically along a longitudinal length of the cage.

Abstract: A printed circuit board assembly with improved bypass decoupling for BGA packages. In one embodiment, a capacitor may be interposed between a BGA package and a PCB within a perimeter of the contact pads that form a BGA footprint. The capacitor may have physical dimensions which allow a BGA package to be mounted such that there is no physical contact between the capacitor and the BGA.
