  • Publication number: 20250198525
    Abstract: A double quad valve design and associated use and system is presented that provides a user to control directional, bidirectional and in some cases tri-directional balanced flow into and out of three (or more) ports that together with one or more sets of springs and sliding seats ensures an ability to allow for a completely static condition that is absent any fluid or fluid flow leaks as well as completely balanced flow that eliminates hydraulic seizure during the operation of one or more mechanical, hydraulic, electro-mechanical, and/or electro-hydraulic devices.

  • Publication number: 20200335899
    Abstract: A high pressure and temperature, hermetically sealed bulkhead connector with pin and socket contacts for use in logging tools is described. The bulkhead connector comprises (a) one or more contact(s) placed within one or more channels wherein the channels provide a clearance path between contact(s) and bulkhead body and travel at least a partial longitudinal distance between proximal and distal ends. The contact(s) reside in the channel(s) and include at least; an optional movement limiter section, one central elongated section, and one fixed section where the contact(s) is attached to the bulkhead body at the distal end. The body correctly positions respective ends of the contact so that the body secures contact(s) to be parallel to each other and the contact(s) have terminal ends for connection. This arrangement provides at least one pivotable, pliable, free floating contact extending away from the fixed distal end of the bulkhead body.

  • Publication number: 20190360594
    Abstract: A non-conductive multi-layered ringed sealing gasket for mating pipe joints along a piping assembly comprising at least two mutually joined ring-shaped bodies. The ringed sealing gasket can be comprised of a metal and the bottom gasket section is separated from the top gasket section by an inner portion that is comprised of one or more non-conductive materials that are ductile but do not flow during dynamic motion and forces associated with the motion of the pipe joints wherein at least one layer of the inner portion includes rings with toroidal wrapped fibers having voids filled with adhesives such that shear forces occurring during movement of the piping assembly are distributed predominantly in the tensile direction along the axial length of the fibers, thereby eliminating cracking of the gasket under excessive loads.
