  • Publication number: 20150076381
    Abstract: An air compressor system includes a housing defining an inlet and an outlet, a butterfly valve coupled to the inlet and movable between a closed position and an open position, and an actuator coupled to the butterfly valve and operable to apply an actuator force to the butterfly valve to move the actuator and the butterfly valve to a desired position between the closed position and the open position. A feedback actuator is coupled to the actuator and is operable to apply a variable secondary force to the butterfly valve in opposition to the actuator force, the secondary force varying in response to the position of the butterfly valve.

  • Patent number: 8573262
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically adjusting an ORVR-compatible Stage II vapor recovery system to maintain the air-to-liquid (A/L) ratio within desired tolerances or limits to meet regulatory and/or other requirements. An air flow sensor (AFS) or vapor flow meter measures the amount of recovered vapor for a dispensing point to calculate the recovery efficiency of the system in the form of the A/L ratio. Volume or flow rate measurements can be used. ORVR fueling transactions are either minimized or excluded from the A/L ratio, so that the A/L ratio is not artificially lowered due to a blocked or altered recovery. The A/L ratio is then compared to a desired or nominal A/L ratio. Adjustments to the recovery system are made within prescribed safety tolerances if the A/L ratio differs from the desired ratio.

  • Patent number: 7561015
    Abstract: A magnet encapsulated within a canister formed from two cans into a laminated structure particularly useful in plasma processing reactors. Each can includes an end wall and a cylindrical sidewall. One can additionally includes an annular lip that slidably fits outside the sidewall of the other can with a small gap therebetween. The magnet is inserted into the two cans together with a flowable and curable adhesive such as epoxy. The cans are slid together and compressed to cause the adhesive to flow between the magnet and the two cans and between the lip of one can and the sidewall of the other. The adhesive is cured to bond the magnet to the cans and to bond the cans together and to also hermetically seal the structure. The cans may be deep drawn from non-magnetic stainless steel with wall thicknesses of less than 0.064 mm.
