Abstract: An apparatus for transferring gas to a gas vessel is provided. The apparatus includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader configured to interrogate an RFID tag associated with the gas vessel for RFID information. The apparatus includes a gas input port configured to be in removably connected to gas supply, a gas output port configured to be removably connected to the gas vessel and a processor configured to: determine at least one gas vessel characteristic associated with the RFID information, control a flow of gas from the gas input port to the gas output port based at least in part on the at least one gas vessel characteristic, determine at least one filling criterion based at least in part on the RFID information, determine whether the at least one filling criterion is met, and trigger at least one action if the at least one filling criterion is not met.

Abstract: A charge station is provided for filling a gas cylinder with gas. The charge station includes a gas output port configured to be fluidly connected to a supply of gas. The gas output port is configured to be fluidly connected to the gas cylinder for filling the gas cylinder with gas from the supply of gas. The charge station also includes a control system operatively connected to the gas output such that the control system is configured to control filling of the gas cylinder, and a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader operatively connected to the control system, the RFID reader configured to read data from an RFID tag on the gas cylinder.

Abstract: An integrated tool system that includes various interchangeable implements and attachments to provide functionality of pliers, wrenches, hammers, ratchets and screwdrivers. Many of the attachments are secured to rectangular jaws at the upper portion of the device. The lower portion of the device includes an ratcheting gear for accepting sockets, socket adaptors, ratchet extensions and so forth. The upper and lower portions are separable to reveal a receiver for hexes that is stored within the handle, thereby facilitating screwdriving and the like.

Abstract: It is therefore the object of this invention to provide prefabricated insulation sheets, to fit around specific-sized perimeters of duct, which includes methods for anchoring sheets to surface to which they are applied, sealing jacket overlaps to adjacent jackets, and attaching overlapping longitudinal ends of sheets. This prefabrication replaces job-site cutting-to-length of sheets with flanges, as well as the additional step of sealing the exterior of jacket laps after installation, and the attachment of longitudinal ends of sheets with staples. It also provides a method of anchoring the end of sheets to the surface to which they are applied. The invention thereby both improves the installation method and the effectiveness of the attachment thereby improving productivity, reducing costs, and increasing the quality of the installation.
