  • Publication number: 20210097606
    Abstract: A method of enabling a user to subscribe to, lease, or purchase an asset or asset service using an application, the method including: receiving user and asset information via the application; receiving credit check information via the application; based on the user, asset, and credit check information, via a customer service organization link, designating the user as one status of “approved”, “denied”, and “maybe”; in the event of a “denied” or “maybe” status designation, requesting additional user information via the application or manually or automatically taking a dynamic rule action to change the status designation to “approved” in a systematic manner based on the additional user information or dynamic rule action; and notifying the user of the status designation via the application.

  • Publication number: 20160369906
    Abstract: A relief valve assembly is structurally configured such that a valve seal plate moves relative to a relief valve body from a closed position to an open position when a bypass fluid pressure on a valve seal plate exceeds a bypass threshold of a centering spring. The centering pin of the relief valve assembly includes a spring seat and a pin terminus The relief valve body, relief valve seal plate, centering pin, and centering spring collectively form an extension stop and a transitory centering pin portion. The transitory centering pin portion lies between the spring seat and the extension stop in the closed position, and between the extension stop and the pin terminus in the open position. The centering spring is compressed between the spring seat and the extension stop and engages the spring seat and the extension stop omnidirectionally about a longitudinal axis of the centering pin.

  • Patent number: 9222588
    Abstract: A tip-resistant valve plug comprises a valve head, first and second retention legs, and an anti-tip fin. The valve head defines a fluid barrier. The anti-tip fin and the retention legs extend from the same side of the valve head. The anti-tip fin comprises a groove that allows the valve head to flex along a longitudinal fin axis; the anti-tip fin extends from the side of the valve head to a fin height dimension that is greater than a relief spring compression dimension caused by the tip-resistant valve moving between a closed position and an open position; or the valve head has a smaller moment of inertia evaluated in a direction the anti-tip fin extends across the valve head than a moment of inertia evaluated in a direction normal to the direction the anti-tip fin extends across the valve head.

  • Patent number: 8757200
    Abstract: A tip-resistant valve plug includes a valve head, first and second retention legs, and an anti-tip fin. The valve head includes a continuous partition defining a fluid barrier between a sealing side and an external side of the valve head. Each of the first and second retention legs extend from a leg base positioned at the sealing side of the valve head to a distal end of the retention leg. Each of the first and second retention legs include a plug catch configured to interfere with an inside diameter of a fluid flow orifice or a pressure relief spring. The respective distal ends of the retention legs are spaced apart from one another, and the anti-tip fin extends from the sealing side of the valve head in a direction of the respective distal ends of the retention legs.
