Abstract: A compressor system is disclosed that includes at least one fluid compressor for compressing a working fluid and a lubrication supply system operable for supplying lubrication fluid to the compressor. A heat exchanger is provided for controlling the temperature of the lubrication fluid. The heat exchanger includes a housing for holding a plurality of lubrication fluid passageways. A shape memory alloy (SMA) member is positioned within at least one of the plurality of lubrication fluid passageways to increase turbulence in the lubrication fluid at relatively high temperatures.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for controlling the current of a sacrificial anode based on the conductivity state of the water. An unregulated current of the sacrificial anode relative to the water tank is measured and a conductivity state of the water is identified based on the measured unregulated current. A maximum current limit for the sacrificial anode is determined based on the conductivity state of the water and the current of the sacrificial anode is limited such that the current does not exceed the determined maximum current limit.

Abstract: A lock assembly for use with a door movably coupled to a door frame. The lock assembly includes a housing, a control member, a latchbolt, and a locking member. The control member is movably coupled to the housing from a locked position to an unlocked position to allow the door to move with respect to the door frame. The latchbolt moves with respect to the housing in a first direction and a second direction. The locking member is configured for engagement with the control member to move the locking member with respect to the housing into and out of an engaged position with respect to the latchbolt. The locking member includes a surface that contacts the latchbolt when the locking member is in the engaged position to substantially prevent movement of the latchbolt in the first and second directions.

Abstract: A latchbolt configured for use with a door lock assembly. The door lock assembly is configured for interaction with a strike coupled to a door frame, and operable to place the latchbolt in a locked configuration using the strike to generally prevent rotation of the door and an unlocked configuration to allow rotation of the door. The latchbolt includes a first member and a second member movably coupled to the first member. When the latchbolt is in the locked configuration the second member is movable relative to the first member from a first position to a second position in response to a predetermined force applied to the door.

Abstract: A fluid impervious expandable enclosed bag containing separately compartmented first and second gas generating components which, upon admixture in successive amounts, generate gas causing the bag to expand gradually from a collapsed condition to an ultimately fully expanded condition. The internal compartmentation in the bag also contains a solvent medium and a time release capsule of one of the components, thereby providing apparatus that can be mass produced and used for insertion into aerosol-type liquid product dispensing containers to provide relatively constant expulsion pressure during use.
