Abstract: A multi-metallic pressure-controlling component and a hot isostatic pressure (HIP) manufacturing process and system are disclosed. An example multi-metallic ram includes a first portion formed from a first metal alloy, a second portion formed from a second metal alloy, and a diffusion bond at an interface between the first metal alloy and the second metal alloy that joins the first metal alloy to the second metal alloy within the multi-metallic ram.

Abstract: A multi-metallic pressure-controlling component and a hot isostatic pressure (HIP) manufacturing process and system are disclosed. An example multi-metallic component for use in the oil field services industry includes a first metal alloy that forms a first portion of the multi-metallic pressure-controlling component, and a second metal alloy that forms a second portion of the multi-metallic pressure-controlling component. A diffusion bond is disposed at an interface between the first metal alloy and the second metal alloy that joins the first metal alloy to the second metal alloy within the multi-metallic pressure-controlling component.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus for the surveillance of an electronic security element in an interrogation zone. The apparatus includes a transmitting device emitting at least one periodic interrogation signal into the interrogation zone, with the interrogation signal causing the security element to deliver a characteristic signal, a receiving device receiving the characteristic signal, and a computing/control unit evaluating the signals r(s) received from the receiving device and producing an alarm when the presence of the security element is established.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for the surveillance of an electronic security element in an interrogation zone, comprising a transmitting device emitting at least one cyclic interrogation signal into the interrogation zone, with the interrogation signal causing the security element to deliver a characteristic signal, a receiving device receiving the characteristic signal, and a computing/control unit evaluating the signals received from the receive device and producing an alarm when the presence of the security element is established.
