An electrically operated valve assembly including a valve member maintained on a seat by a tensioned wire or filament which is heated to permit the valve member to move off of its seat. A piston and cylinder assembly including a conduit therein for permitting pressurized fluid to actuate the piston when an electrically operated valve of the type described above is actuated. A self-contained system including a reservoir, compressible liquid in the reservoir, a squib for pressurizing the compressible liquid, a piston and cylinder, a conduit between the reservoir and the cylinder, and a valve of the above-described type in the conduit for selectively admitting pressurized compressed liquid to the cylinder. A piston and cylinder system including a plurality of the above-described valve assemblies and associated conduits for selectively admitting hydraulic liquid to opposite sides of the piston to move it in opposite directions.
A system for moving a piston comprising a reservoir, compressible liquid in said reservoir, a squib, a cylinder, a chamber in said cylinder, a piston having one end portion in said chamber and its opposite end portion outside of said cylinder, compressible liquid in said chamber, means for selectively firing said squib to compress said compressible liquid in said reservoir, conduit means between said reservoir and said chamber, valve means in said conduit means, and actuating means for selectively opening said valve means to selectively permit flow of said compressed compressible liquid from said reservoir to said chamber to thereby move said piston out of said cylinder.
