Abstract: A regulator valve has a check valve manifold for use in subsea control circuits. For example, the regulator valve having the check valve manifold can be used in a circuit between a directional control valve and an actuator for a gate valve. The check valve manifold can have a flange that attaches to the regulator valve to communicate with the supply-side and outlet-side of the regulator valve. Internal communication inside the manifold includes a check valve. If the pressure in the circuit downstream of the regulator valve needs to be vented, the check valve can open to allow the pressure to bleed from the outlet-side back to the supply-side without needing to pass through the internal pressure control valve of the regulator.

Abstract: Systems and methods for interactive live video streaming in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes an interaction encoder for transmitting interactive live video streams, including a processor, and a memory, containing an interaction encoding application, where the interaction encoding application directs the processor to obtain media data comprising a video track, receive a request to generate an interaction object in the video track at a given timestamp of the video stream, generate interaction data based on the request, where the interaction data includes a data structure capable of being decoded in near-real time to produce the interaction object in the video track at the timestamp when played back, and transmit the interaction data to an interaction decoder.

Abstract: A system and method are presented in which a flow of plastic is extruded to obtain nano-sized features by forming multiple laminated flow streams, flowing in parallel through the non-rotating extrusion system. Each of the parallel laminated flow streams are subjected to repeated steps in which the flows are compressed, divided, and overlapped to amplify the number of laminations. The parallel amplified laminated flows are rejoined to form a combined laminated output with nano-sized features. The die exit is formed to provide a tubular shape.

Abstract: A bone cleaning assembly with cleaning elements that remove soft tissue from bone stock. The module also includes a clearing element that is periodically urged against the cleaning elements to remove bone stock trapped by the cleaning elements from the cleaning elements.

Abstract: A female undersea hydraulic coupling member is equipped with a plurality of pressure-energized metal seals configured to seal between the body of the female member and the probe of a corresponding male hydraulic coupling member in response to ambient hydrostatic pressure and/or hydraulic fluid pressure. Pressure-energized metal seals may also be provided to seal between the body of the female coupling member and a removable seal retainer or seal cartridge. In one particular preferred embodiment, the pressure-energized seals are back-to-back metal C-seals separated by annular seal supports having a generally T-shaped cross section and retained on one or more shoulders in the body of the female member by a removable seal cartridge.
