Abstract: A fluid end assembly comprising a housing having multiple conduits formed therein. A tubular sleeve is installed within one of the conduits and is configured to house a plurality of packing seals. A seal is installed within a groove formed in the walls of the housing surrounding the tubular sleeve such that the seal engages an outer surface of the tubular sleeve.

Abstract: A linear drive assembly configured for use within a power end assembly. The linear drive assembly is configured to interconnect a crankshaft and a pony rod and comprises a crosshead assembly attached to a connecting rod assembly. In one or more embodiments disclosed herein, the connecting rod assembly is configured to attach to opposite sides of the crosshead assembly so that no portion of the connecting rod assembly is disposed within an interior of a crosshead included in the crosshead assembly.

Abstract: A fluid end for use with a power end. The fluid end comprises a plurality of fluid end sections positioned adjacent one another. Each section includes a single horizontally positioned bore. A plunger is installed within the bore and includes a fluid passageway. Low-pressure fluid enters the bore through the plunger and high-pressure fluid exits the fluid end through an outlet valve installed within the bore. The intake of low-pressure fluid within the fluid end section is regulated by an inlet valve installed within the plunger. Low-pressure fluid enters the plunger through an inlet component attached to both the plunger and an inlet manifold.

Abstract: A high pressure pump comprising a fluid end mechanically coupled to a power end. The power end is modular and comprises a crankshaft section, a crosshead section, and a connector section coupled together by a first set of stay rods. The fluid end comprises a plurality of fluid end sections positioned in a side-by-side relationship. Each of the plurality of fluid end sections are attached to the power end using a plurality of second set of stay rods.

Abstract: A support for sonographers provides a path of force transmission from an ultrasound probe to the sonographer's upper arm bypassing the wrist, and thus reducing wrist injuries that can come from the need to tightly grip and restrain an ultrasound probe for long periods of time.

Abstract: A wrap-packaging film having differential cling is provided by a film laminate, said film laminate comprising at least two layers,at least one of which layers is an outer reverse layer comprising a linear very low density ethylene copolymer (LVLDPE) having a critical density of less than about 0.915 g/cc which contains a tackifier in an amount sufficient to impart thereto an effective level of cling properties,at least one of which layers comprises an obverse layer of an olefin polymer or copolymer, such as a linear low density ethylene copolymer (LLDPE) which has a critical density of not less than 0.916 g/cc which has little or no cling,and wherein the difference in density between the reverse layer and the obverse layer is at least about 0.004 g/cc,the said differential cling properties being manifested in the higher level of cling of the LVLDPE reverse layer as compared to that of the obverse layer.

Abstract: Improved injection-molded LLDPE articles, especially those having a wall thickness in the range of about 0.15 mm to as much as 1.5 mm, are prepared using an LLDPE containing a sufficient amount of at least one C.sub.5 -C.sub.12 1-alkene copolymerized with the ethylene to provide a density in the range of 0.91 to 0.945 g/cc, a melt flwo rate in the range of 60 to 200 g/10 minutes, and an I.sub.10 /I.sub.2 ratio of 7.2 to about 18. Articles such as lids and containers are prepared having improved properties.
