Abstract: The threaded joint for tubes according to the invention concerns sealed end to end connections of metal tubes useable in particular in the petroleum industry. This joint comprises a sleeve provided with two housings with tapered threads into which are screwed the male extremities of two metal tubes provided with corresponding threads having non-threaded extremity zones the front walls of which abut one against the other, a clearance existing between the lateral walls of these zones and the annular wall of he sleeve opposite. Two pairs of male/female shoulder stops prevent over-screwing. The heights of the teeth of the male and female threads are identical.

Abstract: A thread joint for a tube which suppresses galling without deteriorating its sealing performance since a sliding distance L.sub.S which expresses a quantity of spiral sliding of sealing portions relative to each other during a tightening period from the start of a contact between the sealing portions until shoulder portions abut each other satisfies the following relationship:Sliding Distance L.sub.S .ltoreq.-0.0093.times. (Tube Outer Diameter).sup.2 +4.73.times. (Tube Outer Diameter).To shorten the sliding distance L.sub.S, the sealing portion of a box portion is formed shorter than the sealing portion of a pin portion. In this case, a circumferential groove may be formed to discharge a dope. Conversely, the sealing portion of the pin portion is formed shorter than the sealing portion of the box portion. In this case, a precedent-stage unthread portion whose inclination is smaller than that of the sealing portion of the pin portion is formed between a male thread and the sealing portion of the pin portion.

Abstract: An electrostatic discharge protection circuit is provided with a variable threshold for limiting the potential of an input signal having a given high or low voltage, and is adapted to an EPROM containing an input MOS transistor which is responsive to the input signal. The protection circuit is associated with an input terminal for receiving the input signal. The input terminal is coupled to the gate of the input MOS transistor. The protection circuit also includes a circuit element for limiting or suppressing the input signal potential at the variable threshold. The gate of the input MOS transistor receives the potential limited signal from the circuit element. The circuit element is responsive to a given threshold control potential. The variable threshold is enhanced by the given threshold control potential when a high-voltage input signal is applied to the input terminal.
