Abstract: A compressed gas regulator with integral flow meter is disclosed. The regulator includes pressure reducing section and a flow control section, as well as, a Bourdon tube gauge disposed within the protective surround of the regulator body to prevent physical damage to the gauge. The Bourdon tube is mounted on a gauge adapter that provides for rotation of the tube within the regulator body, yet maintaining a gas seal with the high pressure gas supply. The gauge adapter provides a means for fluidly communicating the high pressure level to the Bourdon tube, yet allowing rotation of the Bourdon tube for zeroing and calibration purposes. An indicator ring, also disposed within the regulator body, is mounted on the Bourdon tube so that the pressure level is readily ascertained by viewing the indicator ring through an aperture in the regulator body.

Abstract: A GUI software development system that executes in a multitasking environment is enhanced with the addition of a property setting manager program that provides a means whereby a programmer may readily store and retrieve one of a plurality of program object property sets for a particular program object, be the object a visual control or a non-visual object that provides a distinct added functionality to the program. The property setting manager program provides functionality to extract current property settings of a control or object and save those settings as a predefined property set for future use. Predefined property sets are automatically made available to the programmer upon detection of an event indicating a corresponding control or object is being added to a computer program under development. Multiple unique predefined property settings for a particular programming object or control are stored for later recall so that the programming effort required to establish initial property settings is minimized.

Abstract: A programmable automatic sprinkling system includes a housing, a cover, a fluid manifold, and a plurality of programmable valve controllers each including a fluid valve, an inlet fitting and an outlet fitting. The fluid manifold includes several fluid outlet fittings or ports and an inlet fitting that is attached to a source of pressurized water. The inlet fitting of each programmable valve controller is fluidly connected to an outlet fitting of the manifold. The programmable valve controllers are self-contained controllers each having a motor actuated valve, a power source such as a battery, and a microprocessor based controller that includes an input keyboard and a display that provides visual feedback to the user regarding the state of the controller and timer program information. An alternate embodiment of the programmable automatic sprinkling system includes a single programmable controller that actuates a plurality of motor actuated valves.
