Abstract: A system for determining a leak in a glove is used in conjunction with a supply of compressed air, the system including a regulator in fluid communication with the source of compressed air. The regulator comprises a housing with an air inlet and an air outlet, a two way valve connected to the air inlet and the air outlet, an air flow meter, and a pressure gauge. The system is also provided with a glove adapter that is configured to make an airtight seal with the glove while inflating and testing the glove for leaks.

Abstract: A fluid flushing machine for a vehicle engine component uses a pre-heated cleaner/fluid to increase the effectiveness of the cleaning procedure and reduce the time needed to clean the component. The invention is designed to clean air charged coolers, EGR valves, EGR coolers, and other components that over time have become contaminated with carbon build up, oil, and debris. The machine of the present invention has the option to direct heated cleaning fluid through the vehicle engine's cooling system to remove carbon build up, oil, and debris in the vehicle's EGR valve and cooler component. The machine of the present invention is adapted to perform the operation in an engine-off condition by incorporating an integrated or external electronic device to open the vehicle's EGR valve to allow the cleaning fluid to flow through the engine while it is turned off.

Abstract: A hand-held heating unit is disclosed having a turbine connected to a generator to generate electrical power from a compressed air source. The electrical power produced by the generator is suppled to a transformer to establish a voltage which is in turn used to energize a coil with an alternating current. The current causes a magnetic field to form in the coil that can be used to heat ferrous materials within the coil. A circuit board can control the current and frequency for different applications.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fluid exchange machine for replacing fluid in a vehicle subsystem that can be controlled remotely using wireless technology to make fluid exchange operations easier, safer, and more convenient. The fluid exchange machine of the present invention operates within a number of different platforms and communication technologies to provide a wide array of options. Using smartphones, tablets, or other hand held devices, a technician can send instructions wirelessly to the machine to both operate the machine and retrieve important data from the machine. The communication in one preferred embodiment uses voice commands to instruct and control the machine, while other embodiments utilize more traditional data input can be utilized.

Abstract: The present invention is a fluid exchange machine, such as a brake fluid exchange machine or an automatic transmission fluid exchange machine, that includes a new fluid tank, a waste fluid collector, a pump for introducing new fluid into a vehicle, and a controller for managing the operation of the fluid exchange machine. Coupled to the controller is a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver that can identify the location of the fluid exchange machine at all times, and a wireless transmitter that can wirelessly transmit the location of the fluid exchange machine to a remote location. In a preferred embodiment, the wireless transmitter can also track and communicate the number and time of each fluid exchange operation, and the amount of fluid, so the recipient of the data can discern where the fluid exchange machine is at all times, how many fluid exchange operations the machine performs, and when each fluid exchange operation is performed.
