Abstract: A testing system configured to test a person's performance at manufacturing related tasks comprises at least one simulated workstation in one embodiment. Each simulated workstation is modeled after a manufacturing related task and comprises at least one work piece to which the task is to be conducted, and at least one detector associated with the work piece. The detector is operable to detect a manufacturing task performed by a person and is configured to generate a signal based upon on the performance. The simulated workstation further comprises at least one instructional device configured to inform a person of the tasks to be performed on the work piece at the workstation, and at least one automated electronic scoring mechanism configured to receive the signal from the detector and tabulate a person's performance at the task.

Abstract: A one piece pressure protection valve and manifold. The valve and manifold includes a housing that defines an inlet passage and a plurality of outlet passages. A valve is included in the housing. The valve is interposed between the inlet passage and the outlet passages. The valve is constructed to prevent fluid flow from the inlet passage to the outlet passages when a fluid pressure at the inlet passage is below a predetermined value.
