  • DRIVE TRAIN FOR DIAL OF A TORSION-SPRING ASSISTED WIND-UP INJECTION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20240131271
    Abstract: A drive train for a wind-up injection device is described. The drive train includes a torsional energy storage adapted to be loaded or unloaded by a rotatable element, a rotatable user handle, a rotationally driveable expelling mechanism adapted to expel the liquid drug, and a clutch element coupled with the torsional energy storage via the rotatable element and including a ratchet for maintaining the rotatable element at one of a number of discrete angular positions against the torque of the torsional energy storage. The clutch element is adapted to transmit the torque from the user handle to the torsional energy storage, or alternatively from the torsional energy storage to the expelling mechanism. The ratchet is switchable from one position to an adjacent position by a torque transmitted from the user handle to the torsional energy storage. The drive train is adapted to dampen torque peaks visco-elastically and/or visco-frictionally.

  • Equipment for installing a spoolable connector in coiled tubing
    Patent number: 7775289
    Abstract: A technique facilitates joining of coiled tubing sections. A framework has one or more movable stands with features designed to grip and manipulate an end of a coiled tubing section. The ability to hold and selectively move an end of a coiled tubing section or the ends of both coiled tubing sections enables an operator to easily prepare the coiled tubing ends and to couple the coiled tubing ends with a coiled tubing connector.

  • Sound generating transducer
    Patent number: 5068836
    Abstract: A flextensional sonar transducer comprising a first cavity defined by an elliptical shell and end plates covering the two ends of the shell, vibration drive means inside the cavity and coupled between portions of the shell wall at opposite ends of the major axis of the shell, a further cavity connected to the first cavity and an opening between the two cavities for coupling the two cavities for the further cavity to affect the resonant frequency of the first.
