  • Publication number: 20110174398
    Abstract: Valve apparatus to prevent contamination of a fluid in a fluid regulator are described. An example valve apparatus described herein includes a housing disposed within a fluid flow passageway of the fluid regulator to define a low-pressure side of the fluid flow passageway and a high-pressure side of the fluid flow passageway. The housing has a bore that at least partially defines the fluid flow passageway when coupled to the fluid regulator. The housing has a movable valve assembly disposed within the bore via a non-threaded connection in fluid communication with the low-pressure side of the fluid flow passageway and external threads to threadably couple the housing to an opening of the fluid regulator. A seal system prevents impurities from flowing between the high-pressure side of the fluid flow passageway and the low-pressure side of the fluid flow passageway.

  • Publication number: 20100064005
    Abstract: A terminal of an advertisement distribution system acquires, from a controller, subscription metadata respectively defined for each of first to fourth service servers regarding whether or not to distribute advertising content to be subscribed, and specifies, from among the first to fourth service servers, one or more servers that distribute the advertising content to be subscribed as a subscribed service distribution device. The terminal recognizes a difference between the advertising content adapted for distribution by the subscribed service distribution device and the already acquired advertising content, and transmits distribution request information to the subscribed service distribution device to acquire necessary advertising content.
