  • Distributor valve having an integrated flow meter unit
    Patent number: 9851229
    Abstract: A distribution valve with an integrated flowmeter unit, which exhibits a main flow channel, through which a medium can flow in a main flow direction, and a secondary flow channel branching from the latter. The distribution valve includes a distribution valve housing containing a main pipe, a first conduit pipe connection, a second conduit pipe connection and at least one branch lying in between. The main flow channel in the main pipe runs from the first conduit pipe connection to the second conduit pipe connection. The branch empties into a first housing part, which includes an outlet. The outlet of the first housing part empties into a second housing part, which accommodates a flowmeter body and includes an outlet that forms a third conduit pipe connection. The secondary flow channel runs from the at least one branch of the main pipe to the outlet of the second housing part.

  • Method and controller for controlling shutdown of a processing unit
    Patent number: 5781770
    Abstract: A processor shelf controller monitors processor shelf status. On shutdown or reset request either initiated by a central controller or the processor shelf, the processor shelf controller provides at least a first timer that allows the operating processor shelf sufficient time to shutdown operating system processes. For graceful shutdowns, a second timer is provided to allow the operating processor shelf to clear all application related processes prior to start of the first timer.
