Abstract: A cloud-based industrial data services (IDS) architecture leverage smart tags, asset models, and data service applications to facilitate secure transaction and exchange of contextualized factory data between different parties as part of a combined technology and commerce platform, or to perform provide asset owners with insights into operation of their industrial assets. The IDS platform supports a set of services that connect providers of smart industrial devices to plant floor and systems owned by the end users of these devices. The cloud-based platform allows asset providers to publish data service applications for purchase and use by end users of their assets, and allows equipment owners to control remote access to selected sets of their industrial data via the cloud platform.

Abstract: A fluid exchanger may exchange a fluid (e.g., coolant) in a reservoir (e.g., vehicle radiator) by removing or withdrawing a first fluid (e.g., old, spent, used, etc.) and by introducing a second fluid (e.g., new, clean, etc.). In some examples, the exchanger includes a valve construction that permits easy and safe transitioning from a first mode in which the fluid in the vehicle is run in a loop (e.g., after a cleaner is introduced) to a second mode in which the fluid is exchanged. In some examples, the exchanger includes a restrictor that stops fluid from flowing when the pressure fails to satisfy a threshold (e.g., where the pressure is below a threshold). In some examples, the exchanger includes a safety valve (e.g., ball valve) in the bottom of the new fluid tank, such that when the tank is empty, the valve will close and reduce the likelihood of unintentionally pushing air into the system (e.g., emptying the reservoir).
