Abstract: Disclosed are cable types, including a type THHN cable, the cable types having a reduced surface coefficient of friction, and the method of manufacture thereof, in which the central conductor core and insulating layer are surrounded by a material containing nylon or thermosetting resin. A silicone based pulling lubricant for said cable, or alternatively, erucamide or stearyl erucamide for small cable gauge wire, is incorporated, by alternate methods, with the resin material from which the outer sheath is extruded, and is effective to reduce the required pulling force between the formed cable and a conduit during installation.

Abstract: A pilot hydrauic fluid pressure operated valve having the function of a 4sition 5-way valve for controlling the flow of high pressure corrosive media in a high pressure environment such as the deep ocean. The valve body contains two double-ended axially aligned poppet pistons each of which comprise a large pilot actuated piston in the center of the "spool" and each of which have a valve poppet at each end of the "spool" for control of the media which may be sea water ballast of a deep submergence vehicle for example.
