Abstract: A hydraulic duct for feeding fluid at high pressure includes a rigid tube and a flexible hose connected to the rigid tube by a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes an endform in communication with the rigid tube over which the flexible hose extends. The endform includes a primary annular projection extending outwardly from a periphery of the endform and at least one auxiliary annular projection extending outwardly from the periphery of the endform. The primary annular projection includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, a landing region that extends axially from the trailing edge toward the leading edge and a stop bead that extends outwardly from the leading edge beyond the landing region.

Abstract: A method for endforming a tubular member for use assembly for a hydraulic system comprises (1) a connector member having an inner surface exhibiting a stepped configuration and a fixing member at the distal end thereof, and (2) an endform tubular member having an outer surface corresponding to the inner surface of the connector member, wherein the endform tubular member mates with inner surface of the connector member to provide an endform tubular assembly having an improved design for conveying fluids in a hydraulic system. The endform tubular assembly has inherent features therein that are measured to provide quantified values for assessing the robustness of the assembly and predict the performance of such assembly in high pressure applications for prolonged periods of time.

Abstract: A computer system that increases performance and reduces power consumption is described. Specifically, the system writes the contents of the system to a non-volatile memory cache before powering down. After repowering the system, the system initiates the load sequence from the memory cache.
