Singapore, 27 June 2014 – Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SingTel) today announced its contribution as the largest sponsor to date for the 28th Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games). As Official Multimedia Partner, SingTel will provide over S$15 million in next-generation multimedia solutions and technological infrastructure to support Singapore's sporting quest as host nation of the SEA Games, which is making its return to the country after 22 years.
"It is our priority to provide next-generation multimedia services for major sporting events in Singapore, such as the inaugural Youth Olympic Games and Formula One®. SingTel has been a big supporter of sports, and mio TV has been bringing unprecedented live coverage of major international sporting events into the homes of Singaporeans. We are pleased to be the Official Multimedia Partner for the SEA Games next year, especially when Singapore will be celebrating its 50th birthday," said Mr Yuen Kuan Moon, CEO Consumer Singapore, SingTel.
Under the partnership with Singapore Southeast Asian Games Organising Committee (SINGSOC), SingTel will provide end-to-end multimedia solutions to enable seamless connectivity and the smooth organisation of the Games at all venues. SingTel's network capabilities will support an integrated games management system to coordinate and process data at the event.
"In planning for the Games, we envisaged it to be the most digitalised Games in its history - one in which we can use technology powered by SingTel to augment game experiences and reach out to the entire Southeast Asia region," said Mr Richard Seow, Chairman of Sponsorship and Marketing Advisory Sub-Committee, SINGSOC. He added that: "This timely partnership will not only allow us to capture, interpret and co-create compelling shareable content, but will also bring us closer to that vision with their comprehensive portfolio of service that is ever-so-critical in today's working environment where speed and resiliency of data transmission is key."
Come 5 June 2015, Singapore will be host to over 7,000 athletes and officials from 11 Southeast Asian nations across 36 sports. SingTel will sponsor high-speed internet and WiFi capabilities to ensure all participants stay connected.
SingTel will also be organising an exciting line-up of activities to engage the community and rally Singaporean's support for Team Singapore athletes. It will lend its next-generation multimedia capabilities to enhance the series of roadshows, school engagements and public activities in the lead up to the region's biggest multi-sport event. More details will be unveiled at a later date.

The home may be priced just about 5% too high. Considering the low inventory and all the features and benefits of the home they just might get the price they are asking. They may have a problem when it comes to the appraisal though.
How much is this house really worth? The home is worth what the seller is willing to sell it for and how much the buyer is willing to pay for it pending appraisal if financing is being obtained.
If you like the home you can always offer what you think a home is worth and begin your negotiations from there. Or go ahead offer their price ask for a % of closing costs and wait for appraisal and re-negotiate at that time if the problem arises.
Keep in mind your lender will not loan you more money than the house is worth.
If I can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to contact me. I am located on 7th right off of Mountain.
Good Luck!
Many homes in the local area near this property are selling around the $200/s.f. mark. If you add that up it would put you in the mid $400k's. I have not had the opportunity to view this home and it is appointment only. I would give it a price around $445k and keep in mind this is not having the chance to take a closer look first. For a little more money I see homes selling with larger lots and more s.f.. If you would like further assistance please contact me with your needs. I work the local area and many others, my office is down the street.
Thanks for your time.
John Santana
(909) 230-8300
Keep in mind, that comparable sales don't always take into account the condition of the home. If this home is in need of a lot of work, then the actual value could be lower than the comparable properties. If it is in pristine condition with desirable amenities, the value could be higher than the comparable properties.

Yess, Models! My favorite part of project development!
Stone Rage™ is an online third person multiplayer survival pc game set within the Pleistocene era. Players will find friends and create enemies as they struggle for survival through a prehistoric landscape filled with dangerous animals, scarce resources, and a harsh climate. Scavenge for materials to craft strong or cunning weapons, perfect for securing your next meal or to raid your enemies with. Travel north into the mountains to collect rare obsidian and create a spear powerful enough to take down a mighty mammoth. However, be sure to create warm enough clothes and homes to survive the cold winters, else you'll be forced to migrate back south before you freeze. Choose to play as a human, neanderthal, or even one of the many animal classes as you explore the world of Stone Rage to forge your own path to survival.

"We've endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years, and each time I hear the news, I react not as a president but as everybody else would, as a parent. And that is especially true today. I know there's not a parent in America who doesn't feel the same overwhelming grief that I do. Our hearts are broken today for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children and for the families of the adults who were lost. Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well, for as blessed as they are to have their children home tonight, they know that their children's innocence has been torn away from them too early and there is no way to ease their pain." — President Obama
"Evil visited this community today." — Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy
"The horror of this day seems unbearable, but we will lock arms and unite as citizens, for that is how Americans rise above unspeakable evil.

For the U.S., that means Syria's president would be out of power. But the Russians don't see it that way, arguing only the Syrian people can decide on their leader.

December 19, 2013 Before becoming the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power was a journalist who wrote about stopping genocide. Now she's visiting a country where there's fear of one. Fighting between Muslims and Christians has killed nearly 1,000 people.

December 18, 2013 Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., says it's a key moment for the international community to "change the calculus" in the Central Africa Republic and prevent further atrocities. The U.S. has authorized up to $100 million to support African Union forces and other material aid.

December 11, 2013 Secretary of State John Kerry is calling on lawmakers not to impose further sanctions in Iran as negotiations on reining in Tehran's nuclear program continue. Iranian officials have said new sanctions would kill off any hope of a final deal between Iran and world powers.

December 10, 2013 French-backed African forces are making some headway to restore calm in the capital of Central African Republic. But humanitarian groups say the international response has been too slow as the conflict in the mineral-rich country takes on sectarian tones, pitting Muslims against Christians.

December 3, 2013 The U.S. is participating in a historic diplomatic push to curb Iran's nuclear program. Some argue that the inroads on the nuclear issue may persuade Iran — which supports Hezbollah and the Syrian regime — to play a more constructive role in the region on other issues. But that's far from certain.

November 26, 2013 World powers are scrambling to get a hold of a crisis in Central African Republic that U.N. officials have warned could lead to genocide. The nation slipped into bloody anarchy after rebels ousted the president in March.

November 25, 2013 Secretary of State John Kerry has been diving into difficult issues ever since he took up the office at Foggy Bottom. He's managed tough negotiations with Afghan President Hamid Karzai over a future, limited role for U.S. troops there. He's re-launched Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, reached a deal with Russia to rid Syria of chemical weapons and is now making headway with Iran to roll back that country's nuclear program. This is a man clearly looking for legacy.

Well, this is the hard part, talking about myself. I live in Maine and have lived here all my life. I think living in Maine is very inspiring creatively. We have 3500 miles of coastline with inland mountains and each season brings something new.
I have been a carpenter/cabinet maker for 25 years, but painting and photography have been with me ever since I was young.
I have found that art has made it easier for me to relate to the world in general.
My photography has won awards here in Maine and I am now working
full time on my art and photography.
Thank you for looking.

2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
Overall the car has been great. The gas mileage has been better than the EPA rating. I've been getting between 25-26 highway/town and 31-32 on the highway. Haven't had a single problem yet.
Gas mileage, ride, interior, seating position
The radio is kind of cheap, sounding quality wise and watts. The other issue is the body roll. It's not bad, it roll to a certain point then stops, its not alarming, just wise it would not roll in the corners so much. I guess a set of sport springs would fix that without effecting the ride quality
I leased a 08 Impreza in early august. I test drove the wrx and then decided to go with the 2.5i 4-door as the lease deal seemed to too sweet to ignore. The car has been fun to drive - it is a real dynamo for its size. The engine is responsive, smooth and has ample juice on the highway. Long-drives have been at about 30.5 mpg and city at 23 on average. Not bad for a 3200 pound car with awd. I am really glad I got a subie!
2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
I got mine more than year ago. So far very pleased by the price/quality/value. I averaged ~22mpg (~6000 city + ~3000 highway) and I'm OK with that considering AWD, 2.5 engine and automatic transmission. I got Dark Gray Metallic colored car with dark interior. So far no mechanical problems - I've changed only oil and air filters. I believe that the engine is great and allows some fun on the road but could get better performance with manual transmission. Unfortunately my wife prefers automatic so we got less fun.
AWD, handling, reliability, safety and looks. Also I got very nice rate for my full coverage insurance compared to competitor vehicles. There is enough leg, shoulder and head room for tall drivers (I'm 6'5").
Better auto transmission, paint could be scratched very easily especially around door handles, standard audio speakers could be improved. Need better plastic materials for some of the parts like the holder of the fuel tank cap and some of the interior segments.
2008 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport 4dr Hatchback AWD w/VDC (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
The car is generally very good. I got it for an excellent price, even in its first year. I really like the interior design and layout and the great looking and useful hatch bodystyle. The interior generally is nice for the $ but I think the red lighting is juvenile and hard to read. The main problem with the car is the short-stroke engine combined with interia of AWD system makes it a torqueless dog both around town and on the highway. I can't fathom why the engineers would set it up that way. At least the short gearing kind of makes up for it, but then it ends up feeling like it needs a 6th gear. All together it drives and rides pretty well and is comfortable. MPG isn't bad for AWD.
Interior design and layout; balanced feel; AWD grip; European good looks; stability control and traction control; steering has good feel and isn't too quick on the highway or too slow to be sporty; compact size; nice turn-in; good ride unless cornering hard; heated mirrors, seats, wiper area.
Torque!! Needs much more torque low but all around as well; needs more power generally; rough engine, especially on start-up; engine noise; leans and bounces in hard cornering; gearing too short, or needs 6th gear; no lumbar adjustment; weak A/C; juvenile red dash lighting; doors very plasticky.
2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 4dr Sedan AWD w/Premium Package, VDC (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
This is my first Subaru and I am very happy with it. I traded in a 2006 Civic that went nowhere in the snow and during Minnesota winters that's not a good thing. I decided on this because of the AWD, the looks and the price. I am impressed with the ride, and quality of the car and it has great pick up, it's pretty quick! Not much road noise either. Feels like a nice solid ride. Cant wait for some snow to test it out. It gets a pretty solid 26 mpg city and when I drove a 200 mile trip all highway it got a solid 32 mpg which I think is great for this car and it isn't even broken in yet. Overall happy with my purchase and will buy a Subaru again, maybe a Legacy next time :)
The AWD without a doubt, the iPod interface. I love the Newport Blue Pearl color I have.
The stereo could sound better, although when you put in a CD or use a iPod or MP3 the stereo comes to life.

Fernando Ruiz, et al. v. Affinity Logistics Corp.
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (June 16, 2014)
The causes of action that can be asserted against an employer often depend on whether the plaintiff is considered an employee or an independent contractor. In this case, the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court's judgment on remand based on its determination that home delivery drivers who alleged various state-law causes of action were employees, rather than independent contractors.
Plaintiff Fernando Ruiz and putative class members were California residents who worked for defendant Affinity Logistics ("Affinity"). Their job responsibilities included loading, unloading and installing furniture and appliances. Prior to being hired by Affinity, the drivers were required to obtain a fictitious business name, a business license, and a commercial checking account. In addition, each driver was required to sign an Independent Truckman's Agreement and Equipment Lease Agreement. The agreements included clauses stating the parties were entering into an independent contractor relationship. After being hired, the drivers received an Affinity Contractor Procedures Manual which outlined procedures the drivers were required to follow regarding loading trucks, delivering goods, installing goods, interacting with customers, and reporting to Affinity after deliveries. The complaint filed by the drivers alleged that Affinity wrongfully classified them as independent contractors, failed to pay them sick leave, vacation, holiday and severance wages; and improperly charged them workers' compensation insurance fees. After a bench trial and supplemental briefing, the district court determined that the drivers were independent contractors. The drivers appealed.
Under California law, once a plaintiff comes forward with evidence that he provided services for an employer, the plaintiff has established a prima facie case that the relationship was one of employer/employee. The burden then shifts to the employer to prove that the presumed employee was an independent contractor. A number of factors are considered in making the determination as to whether a plaintiff is an employee or independent contractor. The right to control work details is the most important consideration. Additional "secondary" factors may also be relevant in making the determination. These include whether the one performing the services is engaged in a distinct occupation; the kind of occupation, with reference to whether, in the locality, the work is usually done under the direction of a principal or by a specialist without supervision; the skill required; whether the principal or worker supplies the instrumentalities, tools, and place of work; the length of time for which the services are to be performed; the method of payment, whether by time or by the job; whether or not the work is part of the regular business of the principal; and whether or not the parties believe they are creating the relationship of employer-employee. The label that the parties place on their relationship is not dispositive and will be ignored if their actual conduct establishes a different relationship.
The Ninth Circuit determined that, contrary to the district court's conclusion, the totality of the undisputed facts indicated that the drivers were Affinity's employees rather than independent contractors. The facts indicated that Affinity had the right to control the details of the drivers' work, and that Affinity retained all necessary control over the drivers' work. Affinity controlled the drivers' rates, schedules and routes. Affinity also controlled the equipment, e.g., the trucks, tools and mobile phones, the drivers used. Moreover, most of the secondary factors pointed to the conclusion that the drivers were employees. The Court reversed the district court's decision and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with the determination the drivers were Affinity's employees.
The Ninth Circuit's decision is consistent with California's policy of applying deference to remedial statutes that provide protection for employees. Written agreements identifying the working relationship between two parties as an independent contractor relationship will not protect an employer if the facts reveal the employer controls the details of the work.

This application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/935,033, filed on Sep. 7, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,383,853.
The present invention pertains to the field of fluid handling and positive shutoff-type flow valves. Specifically, the invention pertains to multi-port valves with smooth, non-contaminating straight-through fluid flow for use primarily in the sanitary industries. More specifically, the invention pertains to pinch-type valves that incorporate a flexible, compressible and gasket-less tubing element to create smooth, non-contaminating fluid flow and to create easy and inexpensive removal, disposal and replacement of all wetted surfaces (ie, surfaces making contact with fluid product). One such valve is disclosed in patent application Ser. No. 10/638,658 owned by the assignee of the present invention, the entire disclosure of which is fully incorporated herein by reference.
In many industries, the system for fluid handling must be extremely sanitary and easily cleanable. For example, industries such as biological R&D, biological pilot plants and biological and food production facilities require steam-in-place (SIP) sterilization and clean-in-place (CIP) sanitization for process systems. Thus, valves used in these systems must have certain characteristics to be SIP/CIP capable. Specifically, these valves should be able to withstand the pressure of SIP/CIP procedures, should be completely drainable and should have product contact surfaces that do not yield byproducts that can leach into the process stream after SIP/CIP.
In the sanitary industries, the most prevalent type of valve used is the diaphragm valve. To date, diaphragm valve technology has been the only valve technology to develop multi-port or valve clusters that minimize dead leg. Historically these valves have been viewed as sanitary and easy to clean. However, diaphragm valves possess specific drawbacks that can be significantly improved upon for applications in the sanitary industries. One such universal limitation is that diaphragm valves do not provide a smooth, seamless passageway for fluid flow, as the diaphragms themselves have sealing points and fluid must travel up and around a weir.
Several diaphragm valves have been designed to be SIP/CIP capable and drainable to meet the requirements of sanitary processes. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,672,561, Kerg et al. describe a radial diaphragm valve having an elongated stem with a circumferential recess that receives a seal whose function is to separate the process fluid from the interior of the actuator.
Though Kerg's valve is SIP/CIP capable and drainable, this valve is incapable of having multiple ports and does not possess a product contact area that is entirely disposable. Also, the seal in the elongated stem creates crevices that can potentially trap and harbor contaminants or can potentially leak.
Cordova (U.S. Pat. No. 6,672,566) and Kovacs et al (U.S. Pat. No. 6,237,637) provide diaphragm valves that have multiple ports and are SIP/CIP capable and drainable. Cordova provides a multi-use sterile access/GMP diaphragm valve housing block having a main flow axis and having a first port and an opposing second port extending to a first and second passage, respectively, separated by a main flow weir.
Kovacs' invention is a diverter valve casing that includes a body with a base and plurality of walls that cooperatively form a chamber, a partition within the chamber dividing the chamber into a plurality of compartments. The partition further includes a surface partially defining the first compartments that is partially sloped. Drawbacks to both the Cordova and Kovacs valves are that these inventions create large sealing areas that can be sites for contamination, and they do not offer an entirely disposable product contact area(s). In addition, Cordova's valve requires difficult installation, as the valve must be of a particular orientation to achieve proper drainage.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,549,134, Browne et al. also provides a diaphragm valve that is drainable. Browne's sanitary valve is comprised of a valve body, a diaphragm and an actuator. The valve body features a cavity defined by the inventor as a "fluid chamber", which has holes in the side and bottom of the cavity for passage of fluid. Passages connect the holes to ports outside the valve body. A diaphragm is mounted over the cavity, a raised area that controls fluid flow through the valve. Though this valve provides drainage, again the diaphragm creates a large seal to protect the contents of the valve from the outside and does not offer a product contact area that is completely disposable, limiting the sterility and easy cleaning of this invention.
Hoobyar et al (U.S. Pat. No. 5,152,500) also provides a drainable valve that is SIP/CIP capable. This sanitary bottom tank valve features one inlet flow passage to communicate flow into the valve body and to at least one outlet passage. An actuator is secured to the valve body to move a diaphragm in an open or closed position in relation to the inlet flow passageway. The main valve passage is typically mounted to the bottom of a tank, which does provide drainage. Hoobyar's valve is limited in its ability to be incorporated into a standard piping system. This valve also has the same shortcomings as those previously described, in that the diaphragm creates a large seal and the valve does not provide a completely disposable product contact area.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,222,523 to Trimble, a valve comprised of a body defining a through passage, a branch passage and an aperture in the wall of the through passage. A diaphragm, which the inventor defines as a "closure member", is movable between an open and closed position to establish communication between the through and branch passages. Trimble's valve is drainable and SIP/CIP capable. However, the diaphragm creates a large seal that is necessary to protect its fluid contents from the outside environment, and it does not provide a completely disposable product contact area.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,259,985, Bergmann provides a three-way pinch valve operated by a solenoid with one pinch valve mounted on each end and constructed such that one valve is normally open while the other valve is normally closed. The valve is made three-way by connecting the tubing from the two pinch valves to a T-fitting with a single outlet. Bergmann's valve eliminates the sealing surfaces and weirs associated with the above diaphragm valve designs, but this valve is not SIP/CIP capable, and the three fluid channels cannot be engaged independently.
Valves used for sanitary fluid transfer must not contaminate the fluid product, nor allow internal or external sources of contamination to enter the process stream. Sources of contamination from inside the valve can include material from the valve itself or accumulated residue from cleaning that is entrapped in the valve. Sources of contamination from outside a valve include any material that can enter through seals or diaphragm sealing surfaces. Such sources include germs, viruses or microorganisms in fluids used to actuate the valve. To eliminate internal and external sources of contamination, it is necessary that the valve's product contact surfaces be noncontaminating and the valve body does not have sealing points.
To effectively eliminate contamination, valves for sanitary applications should have a smooth, reliable passageway that is completely drainable to prevent any entrapment of fluid material. In order to be compatible with the often complex configuration of fluid-handling systems, it is critical that the valve be small, simple and equipped with tubing elements that are easy to change out.
Valves used for sanitary fluid transfer should also be designed to minimize dead leg. A complete discussion of the phenomenon of dead leg can be found in the ASME/BPE Guidelines 1999, Part SD "Design for Sterility and Cleanability"; Part SG "Equipment Seals."
There is a need in the industry for a pinch-type valve arrangement that overcomes the problems of multi-port diaphragm and pinch valves currently used in the sanitary industries. Specifically, there is a need for a valve arrangement that provides multiple smooth, seamless and reliable fluid pathways that are SIP/CIP capable, easily disposed of and fully drainable with the valve in any position.
The present invention provides an improved multi-port valve arrangement or "cluster" that can be used in sanitary environments, for example. The valve of the present invention comprises at least three key components: the body of the valve, which features a straight-through bore fitting a flexible sleeve (referred to here forward as "element"), that has an axial length longer than that of the valve body; the top-works, which are used to depress or squeeze the tubing element; and the tubing element.
One embodiment of the invention provides a three-port valve whereby the first port (Port X) is along the main axis, which is split into a second port (Port Y) continuing along the same axis and a third port (Port Z) that continues on a perpendicular flow path. A child valve casing is joined to a parent valve casing through an outlet on the side of the parent valve casing, perpendicular to the direction of flow in the child valve casing. The child valve casing is nearly identical in design to the parent valve casing, and can be engineered to have the same side outlet as the parent valve casing for connection to additional valves, so that, importantly, the scope of the present invention is not limited to one parent valve casing and one child valve casing. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that numerous child valve casings can be added in series to the valve cluster, as many as required for the particular application in use.
An embodiment of the present invention comprises a valve cluster comprising five main aspects: the parent valve casing, the parent valve actuating device, the child valve casing, the child valve actuating device and the internal element. The parent valve casing provides axial communication of fluid through Ports X and Y, whereas the child valve casing provides communication of the fluid in a path perpendicular to the parent valve through Port Z. The internal element lines the inside of the parent and child valve casings wherein the fluid is transferred.
Both the top and bottom halves of the parent and child valve casings can be separated to remove the flexible tubing element by detaching bolts, screws or other similar devices. Optionally, the top and bottom halves of the parent and child valves are connected on one side by a hinge, which enables the flexible tubing element to be removed without completely separating the two halves of each respective valve's casing. Preferably, the two halves are connected on the non-hinged side by a single connection, such as a bolt, locking screw or other device that is operable without the use of tools.
There are three styles of topworks available on the parent and child valve casings: manual, fail-close actuated and fail-open actuated. Fail-close actuators are designed to default to the closed position when no air is present. Fail-open actuators are designed to default to the open position when no air is present. In the present invention, both the actuating device for the parent valve and the actuating device for the child valve operate independently of one another. The valve's opening and closing action occurs on the precompressed flexible valve tubing element, which is comprised of durable materials. The principal advantage of this method is that the valve can see over 5 million open-and-close cycles. This provides a reliable, long-lasting valve tubing element that can withstand repeated openings and closings and repeated SIP/CIP cycles.
The only aspect of the valve that directly contacts the process fluid is the single-piece tubing element that extends through both the parent and child valve casings of the greater valve cluster. A principal advantage of this is the ability to remove and dispose of the element and, therefore, all product contact materials (all wetted surfaces). According to one embodiment of the present invention, the tubing element is comprised of three tubes molded into a single-piece construction with three terminating ends. Each end can terminate in a molded tri-clamp with an integrated gasket. As the valve tubing element is molded as a single, crevice-free piece that directly connects to the process system, no seals are required to protect fluid material within the valve from contaminants originating outside the system. By eliminating internal seals or weirs, the tubing element does not provide seams or crevices in which unwanted contaminants can be trapped or grow.
Tubing elements for the present invention are manufactured in a single step by joining two or more pre-molded or extruded tubes of silicone, PTFE-composite, thermoplastics or other composite materials. Each tube can be unlimited in length or can be cut to provide ends on which tri-clamps with integrated gaskets can be molded on. Element ends featuring molded tri-clamps with integrated gaskets are tolerance fitted to the valve casing and can be molded in the same step as the joint connection of the tubes. The element end can also be fitted with backup cups for use in alternative style valve casings.
The joining process of the individual tubes is performed in a single step by placing the tubes on a pre-molded thermoset piece with hollow ends. Before the tubing is placed on the thermoset piece, a stainless steel mandrel is fit into each leg of the piece. The mandrels are used to prevent the thermoset piece from collapsing when filling the mold with material that will cure to the tubing. The end of each mandrel is threaded so that it can be removed using an extraction device, which is also threaded. The extraction device is secured into the stainless steel mandrel and then pulled to remove the attached mandrels and thermoset piece.
Though the present invention describes a flexible tubing element with one junction connection, an unlimited number of junction molds can be added to connect the fluid paths of additional valve casings and additional valve clusters.
As a result of this molding process, the element has a consistent, straight-through cylindrical bore. The principal advantage of this aspect is that all ports of the tubing element are completely drainable in any position. The straight-through bore provides an unobstructed fluid flow path which prevents process shear or damage. As the tubing element is a single molded piece, there are no seams or crevices to entrap contaminants. Because the molding process is performed in a single step, a disposable tubing element is a cost-effective option for the user of the present invention.
In the present invention, the dead leg created between the parent valve and child valve has been minimized in order to maximize the effectiveness of SIP/CIP due to the seamless connection between the valves using the single element.
The present invention provides a novel straight-through multi-port valve and removable tubing element. Generally, each valve casing provided has at least three key components: the body of the valve, which features a straight-through bore; the top-works, which are used to depress or squeeze the tubing element; and the tubing element. Preferably, the element has an axial length longer than the valve body. According to one embodiment of the invention, at least one "parent" and one "child" valve casings are connected to provide an at least three-port valve cluster whereby the first two ports are along one axis, and the third port provides a perpendicular flow path. Additional valve casings can be added in series, as many as required for the particular application in use. The "parent" and "child" valve casings of the present invention are nearly identical in nature, and therefore will be collectively discussed at times throughout the description of this invention as "the valve" or "the valve casing" when referring to identical features of the parent and child valve casings.
A piston is located in both actuator types 100, 101 in the valve, as shown in
Referring briefly to
The removable element 12 of the present invention is illustrated in closer detail in
As shown in the embodiment of the element 12 in
Another important aspect of this invention is the versatility in which this device can be used in sanitary applications. Because the element can be fabricated with unlimited, seamless lengths of tubing, it can be attached to systems with any distance between connection devices, but remain SIP/CIP capable, as the system can still be steamed up to the valve when in the closed position. This lends particular advantages to both sampling processes and additions to process streams.
For example, referring to
During an "addition" process, the same method as the above described sterilization and sampling process can be performed. However, process fluid from an "addition device" is added to the process equipment and fluid transfer stream. In either parent valve 32 or a child valve 34, fluid may flow in either direction.
Sampling and addition processes represent just two examples of how a valve arrangement according to the present invention can be used in non-traditional valve applications. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the invention may be used in many different applications.
As described in the examples above, the flexible element of the present invention can be manufactured to contain any different configuration of "legs", tri-clamp connections for external equipment or piping, or extended seamless lengths of tubing for other process uses.
According to another embodiment,
Principal options for the materials of construction for the flexible tubing element are 1) a composite of PTFE and silicone, 2) a composite of PTFE and a fluoroelastomer, and 3) platinum-cured silicone. However, said flexible element can be constructed of any thermoplastic material suitable for clean-in-place and steam-in-place processes.
To manufacture the tubing element 12 shown in
Next, the assembly is placed in a mold and liquid silicone is injected into the mold cavities, which form the tri-clamp ends 20 with integrated gaskets 10 and said T connection 26, as shown, for example, in
The junction connections in
When backup cups 8 are used on the element 12 as shown in
Still, referring to
To install the tubing element 12 into a valve cluster 30, both parent 32 and child 34 valve casings should be hinged open (as shown in
It should be noted that an actuator in use with one valve, as shown, for example in
The parent valve of the present invention can also be designed without the integral flange bodies such that the flexible element 12 is manufactured with specialized backup cups 8, i.e. flanges, on the ends.
For example, the embodiment of the element 12 shown in
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the valve cluster 30 of
The above description provides only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention for the purposes of illustration and not limitation. It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiment described herein may be modified or revised in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is to be measured by the appended claims.

Geraint Thomas gets late call-up for Team Sky's Milan-San Remo squad
Welsh ace to make debut in Italian classic after strong showing in Paris-Nice
Geraint Thomas has received a late call-up to the Team Sky squad for this weekend's Milan-San Remo, with the Welsh rider set to make his debut in La Classicissima following a strong performance in Paris-Nice, which finished on Sunday. He is likley to replace Michael Barry, who recently came down with a virus.
In the opening days of the French multi-stage race, Thomas regularly featured at the front of the peloton inside the closing kilometre as he played leadout man to Greg Henderson, helping the New Zealander clinch victory on Stage 2.
The Olympic team pursuit champion provided further evidence of his versatility on Sunday's final stage in the hills above Nice when, in rainy conditions more reminiscent of his native South Wales than the South of France, he worked tirelessly at the front of the main group to help protect Bradley Wiggins' podium place.
This will be the 24-year-old's first participation in Milan-San Remo, and he's relishing the prospect of his first participation in the 298-km race which gets under way outside the Lombard capital's Castello Sforzesco at 0845 UK time, arriving at the Italian Riviera town some seven hours later.
"It's one of the biggest one day races of the year and obviously the first of the year, so I'm really looking forward to it, it should be a good race," Thomas told road.cc.
The British Champion finished second behind Thor Hushovd in Stage 3 of last summer's Tour de France, held over the Paris-Roubaix cobbles, a race in which he is a past winner of the junior version, showing his credentials as a potential Classic winner.
As for his plans for the Italian Spring Classic, Thomas, who recently launched a new personal website, is waiting to hook up with the rest of the squad in Italy to discover Team Sky's tactics for the race.
However, the way he was riding in Paris-Nice, should he find himself the lone Team Sky rider in the front group on the way up the Poggio, Saturday's final climb, anything's possible.
Joining him in the Team Sky line-up for the race should be Kurt-Asle Arvesen, Edvald Boasson Hagen, Juan Antonio Flecha, Thomas Löfkvist, Michael Rogers, Ian Stannard, Bradley Wiggins, whose inclusion in the squad was previously announced on the team's website.
Milan-San Remo is of course the opening race in our season-long Fantasy Cycling game, and we'll be providing a full preview of the race including expert analysis from Thomas to help you make your selection, as he'll be doing for road.cc throughout the 2011 season.

Man! I just removed him from my fantasy team and did a complete change around with all the points he freed up. Now what do I do - stick with the current or go back to the original line up.
On the plus side I'm on a flight to Milan to watch the off on Saturday so at least I might get a glimpse of the G-man.

Okay, so I've gone out & bought my Arduino clone, had fun* with it, bought a truckload of ATMEGA 48-328's & had fun* with them and would like to now broaden my horizons a little. I'd like to see what's on the other side of the fence & give PIC chips a try. From what I can see, both have their advantages/disadvantages & can excel in some areas where the other may flounder.
Well, thanks to not being allowed to alter Serenit-e's looks, I have a spare set of tracks & a dual-motor gearbox to work with - seems a shame to let them go to waste.
Bob is going to be a test-bed for trying out any new circuitry I come up with, such as controller boards, sensors, displays etc.
