Abstract: A valve that closes automatically when infers a leak in a supply network of liquid or gas fluids where it is installed. The closure of the valve is performed by a stem connected to a mechanism of rod-crank-slider that displaces a shutter, the stem is activated at the same time by an actuator that allows to release the potential energy of a flat coil torsion spring.

Abstract: The integrated flow control valve according to the present disclosure is a cam-lift type integrated flow control valve, and an additional valve is integrally formed with at least one of a plurality of valves, this additional valve is configured to be moved upward and downward in response to vertical movement of the corresponding valve to open and close an additional outlet except for a plurality of outlets which are opened and closed by the plurality of valves. In an engine system according to the present disclosure, a flow of coolant flowing into a heater, an oil cooler, a radiator and an exhaust gas heat exchanger in the engine system is integratedly controlled through control of the above described integrated control valve, so that it is possible to effectively control a flow rate of coolant as well as a temperature of coolant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a shower monitor to alert a person how long they have been in the shower by emitting a short audible sound at preset intervals and by emitting a continuous audible sound when a preset time limit has been reached. The shower monitor is provided with security features to prevent unauthorized users from by passing the device. The monitor may have a liquid crystal display providing a visual indication of the time remaining. The monitor has a thermal sensor for activation of a timing cycle. The monitor may employ a flow sensor in combination with or in lieu of the thermal sensor for activation of the timing cycle.
Abstract: A pneumatic controller for controlling a process advantageously reduces fluid consumption by providing a proportional adjustment to a feedback signal. The pneumatic controller comprises a pneumatic control stage, a process pressure detector, and a feedback proportioning device. The feedback proportioning device uses a feedback cantilever component to provide the proportional adjustment of the feedback signal, thereby reducing the fluid consumption of the pneumatic controller.
