Systems, apparatus and methods that allow external infusion, IV or administration pumps to be synchronized with the internal pumps for a medical fluid therapy machine are provided. The system reduces the time and effort needed to calculate, set-up, enter and maintain flowrates of various fluids, maintained internally or externally with respect to the medical fluid therapy machine. The system also automatically follows therapy requirements, for example, a requirement that one pump / fluid be running / flowing for another pump / fluid to be enabled to run / flow. The system further automatically adjusts for variations in flowrate of one fluid with respect to another. In short, the system provides a more “hands-off”, safe and effective method and apparatus for medical fluid therapy fluid delivery.

The invention discloses a reactivity control method of a pebble-bed high-temperature gas cooled reactor and a telescopiform control rod. The invention discloses the telescopiform control rod arranged at a side reflective layer of a reactor and capable of realizing cold shutdown independently. The control rod comprises an inner rod, an outer rod, and a guide barrel assembly which are vertical and coaxial, wherein the outer rod and the guide barrel assembly are hollow cylindrical objects, the top end of the inner rod is capable of moving up and down in the outer rod, and the other end of the inner rod is positioned below the guide barrel assemble and is capable of moving up and down in a control rod channel coaxial with the guide barrel assembly along with the top end of the inner rod; the top end of the outer rod is capable of moving up and down in the guide barrel assembly, and the other end of the outer rod is capable of moving up and down in the control rod channel along with the top end of the outer rod. In the premise of not changing a pressure vessel height and an overall design parameter of other existing modular pebble-bed high temperature gas cooled reactors, the effective control of the control rod can be maximally improved, the reactivity value of the control rod system is improved; meanwhile, the starting and running control operation of the modular pebble-bed high-temperature gas cooled reactor are simplified, and the technological base is established for the safety and economic running of a high-temperature reactor plant.

A pull-cord start system has a recoil pulley coupled to a crankshaft of a combustion engine and a pull-cord wound about the recoil pulley which is pulled by an end user to rotate the recoil pulley and thereby start the engine. A throttle override device of the pull-cord start system has a shuttle coupled to the pull-cord for movement from a biased rest position to an active position when the pull-cord is being pulled by an end user. A linkage of the throttle override device which is preferably a Bowden cable extends between a throttle control and a throttle valve of a carburetor and is associated with the shuttle so that actuation of the throttle control when the shuttle is in the active position will not open the throttle valve which preferably is biased to an idle position because movement of the shuttle to the active position produces slack in the linkage.

The invention relates to a compressed air control device (2) and to a compressed air control method for controlling respective operating states of a compressor (6) and of an air drying device (8) in a vehicle. The compressed air control device (2) has a compressor control outlet (36), by means of which the compressed air control device can be pneumatically connected to a control inlet of the compressor (6) in order to pneumatically switch the operating state of the compressor (6). The compressed air control device (2) further comprises a system pressure inlet (28), by means of which the compressed air control device can be pneumatically connected to a system pressure line (21), which conducts a system pressure produced by the compressor (6). The compressed air control device (2) further comprises a ventilation control outlet (36), by means of which the compressed air control device can be pneumatically connected to a control inlet of the air drying device (8) in order to pneumatically switch the operating state of the air drying device (8). Finally, the compressed air control device (2) also comprises a pneumatically operable ventilation control valve (14), by means of which the system pressure inlet (21) can be pneumatically connected to the ventilation control outlet (36) depending on the system pressure in order to switch the operating state of the air drying device (8). According to the invention, an electrically operable supply control valve (12) is provided in the compressed air control device (2).; By means of the supply control valve, the system pressure inlet (28) can be pneumatically connected to the compressor control outlet (62) independently of the system pressure in order to switch the operating state of the compressor (6). Thus, energy-saving operation of a compressed air supply system (4) comprising the compressed air control device (2) and the air drying device (8) by means of a compressed air supply method containing the compressed air control method is possible.

A pull-starter for a combustion engine of an engine-powered apparatus having a startup element automatically actuated upon initial pulling of a pull-cord. The pull-cord is attached to and wound around a recoil pulley, routed at least partially around a portion of a movable dampener member, and attached to a handle. The dampener member is biased toward a rest position and a portion thereof is linked to the startup element. The pull-cord is pulled to displace the dampener member away from its rest position, automatically actuate the at least one startup element, and unwind the pull-cord from around the recoil pulley and thereby rotate the recoil pulley in an unwind direction to rotate a crankshaft of the engine via a coupling. At least upon release of the pull-cord, the dampener member and the startup element automatically return to their normal state during engine operation.
