    Abstract: A fluid pump includes a motor disposed within an outer housing. The motor includes a stator and a rotor in electromagnetic communication with the stator. Windings are disposed on the stator that receive an electric current for defining the electromagnetic communication. A pump element is attached to the rotor via a drive shaft. The pump element operates with the rotor to deliver a fluid through a hydraulic fluid path. A plurality of sensors measure information related to at least one of the stator, the windings, the rotor, the pump element, the fluid and the hydraulic fluid path. A controller is in communication with the windings for delivering the electric current to the windings. The controller is also in communication with the plurality of sensors for measuring and recording the information and communicating this information to one of an external memory and an external controller.

  • Patent number: 11150366
    Abstract: A streamer device or other system can include a pylon configured to attach to a locking collar, and a latch mechanism with a seat component. The latch mechanism comprises a pin member configured to attach to the locking collar, and a bias component. The seat component can be configured to retain the bias component when the pylon is attached to the locking collar, and the bias component can be configured to bias the pin member to hold the locking collar to the pylon. The bias may responsive to a position of the seat component, or determined or controlled at least in part based on the position.

  • Publication number: 20150349906
    Abstract: A system and method for scalable efficient framing for digital signals is disclosed. The method includes determining offsets of framing bits in a serialized data format and determining expected values of the framing bits. The method also includes receiving a data bit, inserting the data bit into a frame-detection shifting circuit configured to operate as a first-in-first-out queue, and selecting a set of bits corresponding to the offsets from the frame-detection shifting circuit. The method further includes comparing the set of bits to the expected values, determining whether the set of bits matches the expected values, and, if the set of bits matches, indicating that a frame was detected. The method additionally includes shifting the frame-detection shifting circuit by one bit position and repeating the receiving, inserting, selecting, comparing, determining, indicating, and shifting.

  • Publication number: 20070261256
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide a simple convenient way to mark reveal widths with excellent accuracy. In some aspects, the invention provides a tool for marking reveal widths. The tool includes a base and positioning means for contacting first and second jambs of a door or window. The tool also includes guiding means for guiding a writing instrument. The guiding means can guide the writing instrument on and generally parallel to the first jamb at a first lateral distance from where the positioning means contacts the first jamb. The guiding means can also guide the writing instrument on and generally parallel to the second jamb at a second lateral distance from where the positioning means contacts the second jamb. In this embodiment, the first lateral distance is a first reveal width and the second lateral distance is a second reveal width.

  • Publication number: 20060219582
    Abstract: A pocket closure device for facilitating retention of and access to items placed in a pocket. Specifically, certain embodiments of the present invention comprise an elongate resilient member disposed along a pocket and attached to a front panel of the pocket and to an outer surface of a bag. The elongate resilient member acts to bias the front panel against the outer surface of the bag such that the panel may be quickly and effectively accessed in a single movement. The biased nature of the front panel of the pocket also enables quick and automatic closure of the pocket to secure pocket contents.

  • Publication number: 20060168761
    Abstract: A locking handle device capable of securely engaging complementary handle components and preventing their disengagement except upon deliberate actuation of a release element. A release element may be integral with the base portions of the handle such that application of an inward force to opposing release elements may transfer a substantially vertical and transverse force to the locked handles, thereby effectively disengaging complementary handle components.
