Abstract: A fluid connector and method for measuring an operating parameter of a fluid conduit is disclosed. The fluid conduit includes a conduit wall enclosing a fluid channel wherein a fluid flows through the fluid channel from a first opening to a second opening. At least one sensor element is embedded within the conduit wall along the direction of the fluid channel between the first opening and the second opening that is used to measure the operating parameter.

Abstract: A quick connector and connector body comprises a coupler portion having a fluid passage connected to a first fluid tube. A valve mounted within the fluid passage is movable between a closed and an open position. A receptacle portion coupled to the coupler portion includes a socket cavity adapted to receive a second fluid tube within the socket cavity that causes the valve to move into the open position allowing fluid to flow through the fluid passage from the first fluid tube to the second fluid tube.

Abstract: A connector and process for coupling a tube and the resulting assembly is disclosed. A receptacle includes a pilot in a mounting position. The pilot including an indicator piece and guide members each located in a respective channel on the receptacle and slidable within the channels from the mounting position to a final position. A retention clip having legs is urged into a spread condition during a transition between the mounting position and the final position wherein in the final position the legs of the retention clip retract to a relaxed condition, the indicator piece becomes visible on the receptacle and the first and second guide members latch the pilot to the receptacle.

Abstract: A system for sensing a physical property of a medium inside a conduit includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader arranged to transmit electromagnetic signals in at least one radio frequency. An RFID tag receives the least one radio frequency and exchanges the received radio frequency to electrical energy powering the RFID tag. An included sensor electrically connected to the RFID tag receives the electrical energy from the RFID tag and powers the sensor to obtain measurement data of at least one physical property of the medium and transmit the measurement data to the RFID tag. The RFID tag transmits the measurement data to the RFID reader using the at least one radio frequency.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a fluid conduit that incorporates electronic sensors printed on a flexible substrate that is attached to an exterior wall of the fluid conduit. The sensors are configured to sense an operating parameter of the fluid conduit and to provide output signals representing the sensed operating parameter. An electrical conductor is deposited on the exterior wall of the fluid conduit for communicating the output signals.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a quick connector adapted to display a code that verifies that a latch member is engaged to retain an installed pipe to the quick connector. The quick connector comprises a connector body having a receiving portion surrounding an internal passage, the internal passage arranged to receive the pipe therein. A latch member retained on the receiving portion is arranged to be movable between a pipe insertion position and a latched position. In the pipe insertion position, the latch member allows the pipe to be inserted into the internal passage. A code readable by a scanning device becomes readable when the latch member is moved to the latched position verifying that the pipe is installed and latched in the connector body.
