  • Publication number: 20230392713
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for operating a valve (1), the method comprising the steps of locating an operating key system (2) at the valve (1), communicating a location of the operating key system (2) wirelessly to a central data system (3) from the operating key system (2), communicating a rotational direction to open or close the valve (1) wirelessly from the central data system (3) to the operating key system (2) based on the location, engaging operating means (5) of the valve (1) by means of an operating key (4) of the operating key system (2), rotating the operating key (4) manually towards an open or a closed position of the valve (1) while engaging the operating means (5) based on the received rotational direction to open or close the valve (1), detecting the direction in which the operating key (4) is rotated, wherein the direction of rotation is detected by means of rotation direction detection means (6) of the operating key (4), detecting if the valve (1) has reached the open or closed position, wherein

  • Publication number: 20230140627
    Abstract: A method and system for remote estimation of hydrant water pressure at a hydrant located at an end of a branch pipe being branched of a main pipe, the method including detecting a valve open-close status of a stop valve arranged in the branch pipe and transmitting the valve open-close status wirelessly to an external data system, detecting a hydrant open-close status of the hydrant and transmitting the hydrant open-close status wirelessly to an external data system, detecting a branch water pressure of water in the branch pipe and transmitting the branch water pressure wirelessly to the external data system, and estimating the hydrant water pressure at the hydrant based on the valve open-close status, the hydrant open-close status and the branch water pressure.

  • Patent number: 6451611
    Abstract: The invention is for a method of quantitatively analysing the hexose monophosphate (HMP) composition of a biological sample, preferably a dried blood sample, using tandem mass spectrometry and for a method for quantitatively analysing the abundance of amino acids acylcarnitines and HMP from the same biological sample (such as a dried blood spot sample). The method is useful in screening infants for galactosemia and can be integrated with a method of screening for disorders in the metabolism of amino acids, organic acids and fatty acids.
