| Class / Patent application number | Description | Number of patent applications / Date published |
| 137594000 | Plural noncommunicating flow paths | 10 |
| 20090095361 | Control value unit for faucet assembly with hot and cold water provided - A faucet assembly includes two faucets and two connection pipes are connected to the two faucets. A conjunction portion is connected between the two connection pipes and an outlet pipe extends from the conjunction portion and has outlet. A control valve unit includes two control valves which are respectively received in two respective recesses in the conjunction portion. The two recesses communicate with the outlet pipe. Each control valve includes a sealing member which movably seals the connection pipe corresponding thereto. The water pressure from the other connection pipe cannot move the sealing member so that the water with larger pressure cannot enter the connection pipe in which the water pressure is lower. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20100236649 | Adaptor for hot water storage tank and method of use thereof - An adapter allows a hot water storage tank of the kind having an electrical immersion heater fitted into a base of the tank via a flange. The adapter includes a flange having peripheral holes corresponding to holes in the flange of the electrical immersion heater. A cold water outlet mounted project through the flange and allows connection to a cold water inlet of an external heater. A hot water inlet projects through the flange and allows connection to a hot water outlet of the external heater. The hot water inlet is configured so that in use hot water entering therethrough is directed to an uppermost location of the tank. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100313976 | EXTREME FLOW RATE AND/OR HIGH TEMPERATURE FLUID DELIVERY SUBSTRATES - A flow substrate including a body having a first surface and a second opposing surface, a plurality of pairs of ports defined in the first surface of the body, a plurality of fluid pathways extending between each respective pair of ports and in fluid communication with each port of the respective pair of ports, and at least one cap. Each fluid pathway is formed in the second surface of the body. The at least one cap has a first surface constructed to seal at least one fluid pathway, and a second opposing surface. At least one of the body and the at least one cap includes a weld formation formed in at least one of the second surface of the body and the second surface of the at least one cap constructed to surround the at least one fluid pathway and facilitate welding of the at least one cap to the body along the weld formation. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20090126808 | Connection Structure Between Integrated Panel and Fluid Device - A connecting structure for an integration panel and a fluid device in which an excellent sealing property can be held even when substantially no further fastening is performed, and the assembling workability is improved is provided. When an integration panel | 05-21-2009 |
| 20110297261 | WATER VAPOR TRANSFER ASSEMBLY - A water vapor transfer assembly for a fuel cell system includes at least one water vapor transfer device. The water vapor transfer device permits a transfer of water from a wet stream to a dry stream. The water vapor transfer device is disposed between a pair of end plates. The end plates each have a plurality of outwardly extending ribs. The water vapor transfer device and the end plates are disposed within a housing having a pair of wet stream apertures and a pair of dry stream apertures formed therein. The housing further includes a plurality of channels formed adjacent the dry stream apertures. The channels are in fluid communication with the wet stream apertures. The outwardly extending ribs of the end plates cooperate with the channels to define a tortuous bypass flow path between the wet stream apertures of the housing. | 12-08-2011 |

| 20100032033 | Diverter Valve - A diverter valve for a material transportation system includes a front cover defining an inlet passage, a rear cover defining first and second outlet passages, a casing connected to the front and rear covers and an inner tube arranged in the casing. The inner tube rotates to selectively align an outlet thereof with the first or second outlet passage. An inlet of the inner tube aligns with the inlet passage and the first outlet passage to thereby provide a straight passage through the diverter valve which aligns with a straight passage through the transportation system. When the inlet of the inner tube aligns with the second outlet passage, it provides a straight, branched passage through the diverter valve to, e.g., a receiving container. The inner tube is rotated between its alignment with the first or second outlet passage by an actuator. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20090151802 | Impulse charger for motor vehicle engines - An impulse charger for motor vehicle engines include impulse valves driven using driving force continuously generated by a driving apparatus so as to be instantaneously opened and closed at a high speed by a link unit in which link members are interconnected, and in which the impulse valves for all cylinders are simultaneously driven. Thus, the impulse charger provides simple drive control, reduction in necessary components, and an efficient mounting space, guarantees easy manufacturing and mounting at a low cost, and prevents noise from being generated when the impulse valves are operated. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090007974 | Valve for Allocating Available Fluid To High Priority Functions of a Hydraulic System - A hydraulic system has high priority hydraulic functions connected to a primary supply line that receives pressurized fluid from a source and low priority hydraulic functions connected to secondary supply line. A priority valve couples the primary supply line to the secondary supply line. The priority valve detects when the source is unable to furnish enough pressurized fluid to satisfy the demands of all the high and low priority hydraulic functions. In that case the priority valve reduces or eliminates fluid flow between the primary and secondary supply lines. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20110017325 | THREE-VALVES MANIFOLD FOR DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TYPE FLOW METER - A three-valves manifold for a differential pressure type flow meter including a valve unit | 01-27-2011 |
| 20120060951 | GAS MODULATION AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL VALVE - An apparatus comprises a body, a first poppet, and a second poppet. The body comprises a first fluid channel and a second fluid channel. The first fluid channel and the second fluid channel are operable to be fluidly isolated from each other. The first poppet is positioned in the first fluid channel, and the first poppet is operable to be moveable within the first fluid channel. The second poppet is positioned within the second fluid channel, and the second poppet is operable to be moveable within the second fluid channel. The first poppet and the second poppet are operable to be mechanically coupled together such that movement of the first poppet within the first channel is operable to cause sympathetic movement of the second poppet within the second fluid channel. | 03-15-2012 |
