  • Publication number: 20120278006
    Abstract: The presence of, absence of, or characteristics of, flexible tubing within a solenoid actuator valve may be determined by calculating the approximate amount of work performed by the solenoid actuator valve's armature as it closes. The likelihood of dislodgment of tubing within a closed solenoid actuator valve may be monitored by evaluating the velocity of the solenoid actuator valve's armature over a period of time.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20120136490
    Abstract: A fluid control platform that may control various fluid control components and is scalable by connecting with additional substantially identical platforms, as well as related systems, methods of manufacturing the same, and methods of fluid control are disclosed. the platform may include a programmable controller, a power supply, a data input, a data output device, and/or a networking connection, among other things. A coordinated fluid control system may include multiple networked platforms, which may be networked to each other in, for example, a ring. The programmable controller may be provided with hardware that permits operation of each of a plurality of fluid control components, some of which may be intelligent fluid control components.
