Abstract: A movable valve element (24) is comprised of a valve member (22) and a leaf spring (26). A passage forming member (12) is securely fixed to a valve chamber forming member (10) that forms a valve chamber (S). The passage forming member (12) has a fluid passage (14) extending from one end to the other end thereof, with the one end (14a) of the fluid passage (14) constituting an outlet port of the valve chamber (S). The passage forming member (12) has an O-ring (20) surrounding and spaced apart from the outlet port (14a), the O-ring (20) constituting a valve seat. Spring force of the leaf spring (26) brings the valve member (22) into pressure contact with the O-ring (20), to form a closed valve state.

Circuitry implements a trained predictive sensor model and generates predicted sensor measurement data for a future segment of time. The trained predictive sensor model includes a first trained model and a second trained model. The first trained model is more suitable for forecasting the predicted data in a first forecasting segment than the second trained model. The second trained model is more suitable for forecasting the predicted data in a second forecasting segment than the first trained model wherein the second forecasting segment comes later than the first forecasting segment. The circuitry also forecasts the predicted data in another time segment between the first forecasting segment and the second forecasting segment based on the time series data and the trained predictive sensor model.
