Abstract: An undersea hydraulic coupling is disclosed having tails on both the male and female members to allow insertion through and attachment to manifold plates. The tails on the hydraulic coupling members are provided with substantially rigid positioning members to allow the coupling members to be held in a nominal position with respect to the manifold plate, thereby preventing galling when the coupling members are mated, and further preventing unnecessary crimping or pressure weakened points at the connection of the tail to hydraulic lines.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a thermoacoustic device has a complaint enclosure which includes a rigid portion and a compliant portion. The compliant portion includes an oscillating member and a flexure seal with a pair of ends and a flexure body extending between the ends. One of the ends is sealed to the rigid portion and the other end is sealed to the oscillating member. The flexure seal has an average cross-sectional area and an end-to-end equilibrium length. A flexure volume is defined as the product of the average cross-sectional area and the end-to-end equilibrium length. A thermal core is disposed in the complaint enclosure and includes at least a first and a second heat exchanger. A working volume of gaseous working fluid fills the complaint enclosure. The working volume of gaseous working fluid has an equilibrium pressure. A motor is operable to oscillate the oscillating member such that the end-to-end length of the flexure seal is increased and decreased with respect to the equilibrium length. Therefore, the pressure of the working volume of gaseous working fluid is oscillated between a peak pressure greater than the equilibrium pressure and a minimum pressure less than the equilibrium pressure. In some embodiments, the working volume is less than or equal to four times the flexure volume, while in other embodiments, the working volume is less than or equal to two times or one times the flexure volume.

Abstract: A chemiluminescent assay to determine the presence and/or amount of one or more labeled target molecules in a sample is described in which the surface layer of a solid support is contacted with a composition comprising first and second chemiluminescent substrates capable of being activated by first and second enzymes, respectively. A plurality of probes are disposed on the surface layer in discrete areas. At least some of the probes are bound to a first enzyme conjugate comprising the first enzyme and at least some of the probes are bound to a second enzyme conjugate comprising the second enzyme. The resulting chemiluminescent signals are then detected. The method can be used to compare two biological samples (e.g., mRNA populations from different cells) on the same support surface or to provide a chemiluminescent control signal for normalizing chemiluminescent assay data from a biological sample.
