Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic pressure gauge for measuring the pressure inside a container, particularly a pressurized gas cylinder, said pressure gauge including: at least one pressure sensor; an electronic unit designed to acquire, store and process data; and at least one information device capable of transmitting at least one item of information. The pressure gauge also includes a first radio with a reception port, said first radio being connected to the electronic unit so as to receive external data in order to modify the operation or the configuration of the pressure gauge. The reception port of the first radio is designed to read data modulated in terms of the frequency and/or intensity of an external magnetic field at a first low frequency, for example a frequency between 50 and 300 khz.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for controlling an electronic manometer for measuring pressure (p) inside a pressurized gas receptacle. The manometer comprises at least one pressure sensor, an electronic unit designed for the acquisition, storage and processing of data, and at least one information device device capable of transmitting at least one item of information (p).

Abstract: The invention relates to a tap (1) for a pressurized gas cylinder, that comprises a body (2) to be connected to a gas (G) outlet opening (3) of a gas cylinder (4), un gas (G) off-take circuit (C) including at least one gas outlet (5, 25), at least one valve (6) movable between a circuit (C) closing position and a circuit (C) opening position, at least one member (23) for adjusting the release flow of the gas (G), and a single actuation member (9) capable of interaction both with the valve (6) and with the flow adjustment member (23), characterized in that the actuation member (9) is mounted so as to be movable relative to the body (2) according to two distinct movements, said actuation member (9) being arranged relative to the valve (6) and the flow adjustment member (7) so that the two types of movements respectively control the movement of the valve (6) between the opening and closing positions on the one hand and the flow adjustment member (23) on the other hand.

The reception port of the first radio (34) is designed to read data modulated in terms of the frequency and/or intensity of an external magnetic field at a first low frequency, for example a frequency between 50 and 300 KHz.

Abstract: Collar for mounting a valve protection bonnet or cap on a fluid cylinder, characterized in that it comprises a first mounting portion provided with first fixing elements (2) intended to collaborate in removable attachment with a mating fixing region belonging to a valve, a second mounting portion provided with second fixing elements (3) intended to collaborate in removable attachment with a mating fixing region belonging to a protective cap, and a third mounting portion provided with bearing elements (4) intended to collaborate with an accepting region on the exterior surface of a body of the cylinder.

Abstract: A fluid pressure reduction system (1) formed from at least a first module (10) and a second module (20) cooperating with each other in order to ensure at least expansion of the fluid and able to be connected to and/or disconnected from each other, the connection of the modules (10, 20) with each other being provided by connection elements (11, 21, 22) with a rotary ring (21) carried by the first module (10) and/or the second module (20). Such a system may be fitted to any fluid line, especially a medical gas line.
