Abstract: Valve assemblies, systems, and methods may include at least one purging assembly comprising at least one purge port extending through a valve body or housing in order to supply a purge fluid into the valve body or housing. The at least one purge port is positioned on the valve body or housing to redirect a portion of the purge fluid as the purge fluid exits the at least one purge port.

Abstract: A cutting board drain device for being a cutting board with a food slicer attachment includes a cutting board which is positioned on top of a sink basin. The cutting board has a top surface protruding into the cutting board whereby defining a space for a variety of food items to be stored within. A support is coupled to a front edge of the cutting board and helps to retain the cutting board in a fixed position relative to a sink basin. A plurality of stubs is positioned on the bottom surface of the cutting board and assist in reducing movement within the sink basin. The top surface has a drain providing an outlet for a variety of liquids held within the top surface. A slicer is attached to the top surface and has a blade for portioning a variety of food items.

Abstract: The apparatus of this invention is used to clean a collet, the generally cylindrical hub of a fiberglass filament winding machine. The apparatus consists of at least one high-pressure fluid-spraying nozzle, an extensible arm, a drive means, a high pressure fluid source, and a means for rotating the collet. One or more nozzles are mounted on a movable platform, which is itself mounted on the end of an extensible arm. The drive means moves the extensible arm to positions over the collet, and a high pressure fluid source provides cleansing fluid to the one or more nozzles. Additionally, a turning means rotates the collet to effect cleaning of the surface. The method of this invention provides for cleaning a collet, the hub of a fiberglass filament winding machine. The method consists of positioning an extensible arm, by a drive means, over the collet. The position of the extensible arm may be along a line of travel parallel to the axis of the collet.
