Pittsburgh – November 10, 2026 -- A Wisconsin inventor is offering a patent-pending hydraulic hose tool for licensing or sale, designed to let technicians tighten or loosen a faulty hose fitting in about one minute.

THE VALVE TOOL fits around a single hose fitting without disturbing neighboring hoses

The inventor, from Menomonie, Wisc., developed THE VALVE TOOL to fit onto any hydraulic hose without removing the surrounding hoses in the bank. The tool fits tightly around the hose fitting, so the user can apply a wrench and disengage the hose quickly. The design is meant to save time and effort during hose servicing.

Prototype and technical drawings are available on request

The inventor describes the design as durable and easy to apply, aimed at those who work with hydraulics. A prototype model and technical drawings are available upon request.

Wilmington, Del. – November 10, 2026 -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) has launched four high-flow Electrodeionization (EDI) modules, extending the nominal product-water flow range of its EDI portfolio to 2-8 m3/h for industrial deionized (DI) water and selected ultrapure water (UPW) applications in microelectronics.

New EDI-520, EDI-820, EDI-530 and EDI-830 modules deliver 5 or 8 m3/h
