The vent inlet is in fluid communication with the loading outlet and the loading chamber and the vent outlet is in fluid communication with a vent. The second fluid control device to control fluid flow between the loading chamber and the vent. | 01-21-2016 |
| 20160069565 | GAS REGULATOR FITTING - The aim is to provide a gas control valve in which the specified desired value range can be subsequently shifted easily in order to optimize the range of settable temperatures for the heating device without exceeding the device- and/or installation-specific admissible use conditions. To this end, a setting element ( | 03-10-2016 |
| 20160084132 | GASEOUS FLUID METERING UNIT - A fluid metering unit has a housing providing a flow path from an inlet port through a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve to an outlet port. An electric circuit board for operating the solenoid valves is contained within the housing. Also contained within the housing and connected to the electric circuit board are a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor for sensing temperature and pressure in the flow path. An electric-operated temperature control element in thermally conductive contact with the housing controls temperature along at least a portion of the flow path. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160085245 | Refrigeration appliance comprising a supply pipe for water - A refrigeration appliance includes a supply pipe for water and a controllable safety valve in the supply pipe which shuts off a water supply connection. A controllable functional valve in a water circuit of the refrigeration appliance distributes water. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160096631 | DUAL REDUNDANT AERIAL REFUELING COUPLING REGULATOR ASSEMBLY - A refueling coupling regulator assembly including a housing forming a fluid path. A first stage pressure regulator may be provided within the housing, and may be operable between an un-modulated position and a modulated position to regulate a flow of fluid through the housing. A second stage pressure regulator may be provided within the housing, and may be operable between an un-modulated position and a modulated position to regulate a flow of fluid through the housing. The first stage pressure regulator and the second stage pressure regulator may be operable independent of one another. | 04-07-2016 |
| 20160377175 | HYDRAULIC CONTROL DEVICE OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - A hydraulic control device that includes a solenoid valve capable of supplying a first engagement pressure to the first engagement element; and a first cut valve that is interposed in an oil passage from the solenoid valve to the first engagement element and is capable of cutting off supply of a hydraulic pressure to the first engagement element, wherein only the first engagement pressure and a second engagement pressure serve as hydraulic pressures that act such that the first cut valve cuts off the supply of the hydraulic pressure to the first engagement element, and the first cut valve is switched so as to cut off the supply of the hydraulic pressure to the first engagement element when the first engagement pressure and the second engagement pressure are simultaneously supplied to the first engagement element and the second engagement element, respectively. | 12-29-2016 |
