Abstract: A general purpose enclosure is provided. A general purpose enclosure for housing an internal unit and providing complete protection against an ingress of dust and water, comprising a first housing and a second housing. A plurality of cooling fins and one or more pressure ports along an exterior surface of the first housing and the second housing. One or more pressure ports comprising a pneumatic valve, pressure sensor cap and a vent membrane such that pressure venting, and pressure testing may be performed by the one or more pressure ports. A method of assembling a general purpose enclosure to an internal unit, comprising applying the first housing and the second housing to the internal unit such that the first housing and the second housing encompass the internal unit and fastening the first housing to the second house.

Abstract: A fluid control valve arrangement includes a plurality of clusters or pairs of holes extending from one face to the other of a central block. The valves comprise a plurality of deformable blisters formed in a resilient membrane, the blisters positioned so as to coincide with the hole clusters or pairs when the membrane is pressed against a face of the block. The values are closed when the blisters are deformed to an essentially flat shape, advantageously by introducing a high pressure fluid into a cavity above the blisters. The valves are linked together in a desired configuration by grooves formed in the other face of the block.
