Patent EP-4191112-A1 (EP)
Title: Combination comprising a coupling and a pipe element having wedging groove
Inventor: MADARA SCOTT D
IPC: F16L17/04
Filed: 2017-01-19
Abstract: A pipe element has a circumferential groove with a surface portion oriented at an angle with respect to its longitudinal axis. A surface portion of the groove adjacent to the angled surface portion is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A mechanical coupling has projecting keys that engage the groove. The keys have mating surfaces that contact both the perpendicular and angled surface portions of the groove. When the pipe element and coupling are used in combination to form a pipe joint, axial load on the pipe, resisted by the mechanical coupling, is shared between the perpendicular and angled surface portions which results in a pipe joint that can withstand higher internal pressure than if the axial load were borne by the perpendicular surface portion alone.

Abstract: A security apparatus includes a lock body, an actuator assembly supported by the lock body, the actuator assembly having an engagement feature configured to rotate between a first position and a second position. The security apparatus further includes a lock tip removably coupled to the lock body. The lock tip is movable by the actuator assembly between a locked position, in which the lock tip is secured to the portable electronic device, and an unlocked position, in which the lock tip is unsecured from the portable electronic device. Rotating the engagement feature from the second position to the first position locks the lock tip to the lock body and concurrently locks the lock tip to the portable electronic device. Rotating the engagement feature from the first position to the second position unlocks the lock tip from the lock body and concurrently unlocks the lock tip from the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for seismic geophysical exploration is disclosed wherein the seismic exploration system includes a seismic energy source (20), a central recording and control station (23), a plurality of geophones (13-19) and a plurality of remote geophone monitoring means (11a-e). The central control and recording station (23) is coupled to the plurality of geophone monitoring means (11a-e) by a two-way radio frequency (RF) link. The central recording and control station interrogates the plurality of geophone monitoring means by means of the two-way RF link to thereby determine the operating status of the plurality of geophone monitoring means. The operational status of the plurality of geophone monitoring means is transmitted from each of the plurality of geophone monitoring means via the two-way RF link to the central recording and control station in response to a specific address for each of the plurality of remote geophone monitoring means. After it has been determined that the plurality of remote geophone monitoring means are operational, the central recording and control station initiates operation of the seismic energy source (20). The reflected energy imparted into the earth by the seismic energy source is detected by the plurality of geophones. Apparatus contained within the remote geophone monitoring means, associated with particular geophones, samples the signals detected by the geophones and produces representative data in digital form. The digitized data is stored in a memory contained within the geophone monitoring means and is transmitted on demand to the central recording and control unit. Error detection and retransmission of data from the remote geophone monitoring means to the central recording and control station is utilized to increase the reliability of data transmitted by means of the two-way RF link which couples the central recording and control station to the plurality qf remote geophone monitoring means.
