Title: Improved pressure-energised probe seal for female hydraulic coupling member
Inventor: SMITH ROBERT E III
IPC: F16L17/035
Filed: 2011-10-25
Abstract: A probe seal 30 for a female hydraulic coupling member has both internal and external pressure-energized seals. The outer wall or opposing ends 33,33' of the seal have one or more pressure-energized seals for sealing between the body of the probe seal and the body of a coupling member 10 in which the probe seal is installed. In certain embodiments, the generally ring-shaped probe seal has an annular fluid chamber 36,36' in one or both end walls of the body of the seal. Hydraulic fluid under pressure may enter the annular fluid chamber and exert a generally radial force in response to a pressure differential. This radial force can act to increase the sealing effectiveness of the probe seal to the body of the female coupling member having such a probe seal. In "negative pressure" situations (i.e., when the ambient pressure exceeds the internal fluid pressure), seawater may enter an annular fluid chamber on the opposing end of the probe seal and similarly act to increase the sealing effectiveness of the probe seal to the body of the female coupling member. Annular, L-shaped, T-shaped or angled grooves 38 in the inner wall of the seal form cavities and sealing projections that can be urged in an inward, radial direction by fluid pressure within an associated cavity to increase the sealing effectiveness between the body of the seal and the probe of a male hydraulic coupling member inserted in the receiving chamber of the female coupling member.

Title: Processing interference in a wireless network
Inventor: BEVAN DAVID DAMIAN NICHOLAS
IPC: H04B1/12
Filed: 2013-03-15
Abstract: This application is concerned with reducing interference caused to a receiver due to passive intermoduation (PIM) and/or passive harmonic (PH) products. In an embodiment a received waveform 10 is affected by interference I3 resulting from non-linear products of components of a first transmit signal C1 and a components of a second transmit signal C2 (see Fig. 1). More generally the non-linear products could be produced from a single signal. A plurality of interference product streams (46a, 46b) are generated, each stream comprising a stream of time samples of a simulated non-linear product of components of the signal (or signals) which contribute to the interference. At least two of the plurality of interference product streams are processed to reduce a degree of correlation between the streams. The processing may involve an orthogonalization step. The resulting processed interference product streams (60a, 60b) are correlated 56 with the received waveform 10 to produce a plurality of respective correlation values. The interference I3 may be subtracted 54 from the received waveform 10 using the correlation values. The correlation values may be used to weight 48 the processed interference product streams.
