Abstract: A piston pump assembly for pumping a fluid including a pump housing defining a bore. The pump housing further defines a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and a fluid flow path extending therebetween for conveying the fluid from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet. A piston is slidably disposed in the bore of the pump housing, and an eccentric engages the piston to propel the fluid through the fluid flow path. An inlet check valve and an outlet check valve body are disposed in the bore for only allowing the fluid to flow in one direction from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet. A filter is disposed in the fluid flow path downstream of the inlet check valve and the outlet check valve body and adjacent to a damper orifice for filtering debris from the fluid before the fluid is conveyed to the fluid outlet.

Abstract: A solenoid coil attachment mechanism includes a coil assembly with a wire end that projects from the coil assembly and an extending elongated leg that includes a latching mechanism. A carrier has a wall with an opening receiving the leg of the coil assembly and has a wire guide that is funnel shaped, has an open end and receives the end of the wire. A circuit board is attached to the carrier and the wire end is soldered directly to the circuit board.

Abstract: A method of enhancing a "gather" formed of a plurality of unmoved out common depth point (CDP) data traces. The gather is formed of a plurality of seismic traces arranged in a display in which time varies along the horizontal axis and distance between source and detector (range) varies along the vertical axis. The gather is incrementally processed by cross correlating trace segments within a defined area or search window. To this end, the center trace within the window is selected as a reference trace which is multiplied by a taper function and cross correlated with the other traces in the window to provide a coherent trace and a separate noise trace, both of which are produced in the output. The window is shifted on the gather and the procedure is repeated until every trace has been processed. In the cross correlation technique, the trace segments in the window are examined along a derived hyperbolic curve.
