Abstract: The present disclosure provides a multi-layer tube comprising a polyamide outer layer, a polyolefin intermediate layer and a thermoplastic elastomeric inner layer. The polyamide outer layer provides sufficient mechanical strength and the polyolefin intermediate layer shields the polyamide from contact with water to avoid hydrolytic degradation. The thermoplastic elastomeric inner layer guards against stress cracking in the polyolefin intermediate layer and provides an excellent seal for connection.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a fluid conduit that incorporates electronic sensors printed on a flexible substrate and attached to an exterior wall of the fluid conduit. The sensors are configured to sense an operating parameter of the fluid conduit. A protective layer is arranged to be deposited over the substrate and over at least selected portions of the electronic material.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a quick connector adapted to display a code that verifies that a latch member is engaged to retain an installed pipe to the quick connector. The quick connector comprises a connector body having a receiving portion surrounding an internal passage, the internal passage arranged to receive the pipe therein. A latch member retained on the receiving portion is arranged to be movable between a pipe insertion position and a latched position. In the pipe insertion position, the latch member allows the pipe to be inserted into the internal passage. A code readable by a scanning device becomes readable when the latch member is moved to the latched position verifying that the pipe is installed and latched in the connector body.
