Abstract: A valve for regulating the flow of fluids (gas or liquid) using two flexible diaphragms in which an additional element is added to promote rolling contact between the diaphragms. The valve operates in a normally open configuration where fluid flows into the valve, passed through holes or openings in two electrostatically operative diaphragms and out of the valve. The holes or openings in one diaphragm are offset from the holes or openings in the other diaphragm, so that upon electro-static actuation, the diaphragms will seal together, closing the valve.

Abstract: A microvalve with a normally closed state includes a membrane, an actuation means for controllable deformation of the membrane as well as a valve shutter deformable by the controllable deformation of the membrane. The valve shutter at least partially opposes the membrane and rests, in a first position in the normally closed state of the valve, along a sealing lip arranged between the valve shutter and the membrane. The sealing lip is arranged such that an outlet of the valve, which outlet is in fluid communication with an interrupted section of the sealing lip, is sealed against an input channel bordering on the valve shutter. In addition, the valve shutter is moldable into a second position so as to bring the outlet into fluidic communication with the input channel in an open state of the valve.

Abstract: A one-way valve assembly can be fitted to the end of a syringe to allow fluid to flow from the syringe and into a body cavity but to prevent backflow. The valve assembly is opened by insertion of the luer tip of the syringe into the assembly inlet. The valve has an internal elastic member that forms a variable volume internal chamber. This chamber expands upon insertion of the luer tip into the inlet and shrinks when the luer tip is removed from the assembly. The shrinking action creates a positive pressure in the valve assembly to prevent backflow.

Abstract: A valve, such as a liquid level sight glass gage valve, has a valve unit and a passageway that extends through the valve unit.

A bonnet is located within the bonnet receiving areas and has a non-circular outside surface for mating relationship with the non-circular inner perimeter of the valve unit. A valve stem is in sealing relationship with the packing assembly and selectively engages a valve seat. The stem threadably engages the bonnet. A bonnet nut is threadably received on the valve unit for securing the bonnet within the valve unit and allowing axial movement of the bonnet against the packing assembly, thereby effecting compression of the packing.
