  • Patent number: 6282951
    Abstract: A fluid flow system, casing and method according to which a chamber is formed in the casing and at least one conduit is coupled to the casing so that fluid passes from the conduit and into the chamber and so that forces acting on the conduit creates stresses on the casing that causes flexure of the casing. At least one groove is formed in the wall of the casing defining the chamber, and is configured and located relative to the chamber to direct the flexure away from the wall of the casing defining the chamber.

  • Patent number: 5088257
    Abstract: An improved seal assembly provides a mechanical seal for a housing having a window panel of dissimilar material which prevents moisture from entering the housing or liquid escaping the housing over a wide range of temperature and environmental conditions, without loading the window panel to a stressful condition. The seal member is subject to a reduced level of radial force in a limited portion of the seal member across the seal groove and does not have to be pressed from all sides to maintain a seal while accommodating expansion and contraction. Positioning means stabilizes the panel to provide a uniform seal groove.
