SYSTEMS AND DEVICES INCLUDING VALVES COUPLED TO ELECTRIC DEVICES AND METHODS OF MAKING, USING, AND OPERATING THE SAME

摘要

Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed, including a compressor having a piston and a valve assembly. In some embodiments, the valve assembly includes a check valve having a valve member, a magnet coupled to the valve member, and an electrical conductor near the magnet. The check valve may be configured to change state in response to a change in fluid pressure. The compressor may also have an electric device coupled to the electrical conductor.
