A fitting for a fluid-conveying conduit. The fitting includes integrally-formed clamps that can be used to secure the conduit in a locking relationship so that likelihood of leakage and separation of the fitting and the conduit is reduced. In one form, the fitting and conduit can be used as a moisture exchange device. In a more particular form, the conduit wall of the moisture exchange device includes a water-permeable material such that a humidity level in the conduit can be controlled. Since the fitting is formed separately from the end of the conduit to which it is to be attached, fabrication cost and complexity is reduced.

A new and useful structure and method are provided that enable a coupling device to be integrated with an auxiliary device and to be effectively operated to securely couple the auxiliary device to a male dovetail rail (e.g. the male dovetail rail of a firearm).

A braking force generator includes a primary piston displaceable in a housing to enclose a primary pressure chamber. A pedal simulation device is connected to the force input element. A pedal actuation detection device detects the pedal actuation and an actuating force booster stage.
