Abstract:
An anti-extrusion lip seal device is disclosed for use that includes a flexible sealing lip portion supported by an annular braided anti-extrusion element. The braided anti-extrusion element is less resilient than the sealing lip portion to resist extrusion forces acting on the seal device. The braided anti-extrusion element includes fibers that are interconnected both laterally and radially. It is further impregnated with elastomeric or resinous material. Resiliency of the braided element may be adjusted during manufacture by varying the tightness of the braid as well as by variation of the resiliency of the impregnated material.
Abstract:
A surge arrester has a collar for fixing tensioning elements. The collar is extendable and is capable of absorbing released energy in the event of a fault and holding together the cage containing the tensioning elements. The collar, which fixes the tensioning elements in the radial direction, is positioned around the cage of the surge arrester formed from the tensioning elements. The form of the collar is such that it has defined deformation regions, with the result that the collar can expand and thus widen in the event of a force effect in the radial direction. If the varistor elements expand in the manner of an explosion during an overload, the collar is expanded and absorbs some of the released energy. This ensures that the cage is held together in the event of an overload and thus no fragments of the varistor elements can be flung out of the cage.
Abstract:
A configuration includes a surge arrester. The surge arrester includes first and second connecting terminals. At least one connecting terminal is connected to an electrically conductive connecting path to contact the surge arrester. The connecting path is mounted in a universally jointed manner.
Abstract:
A surge arrester has a varistor element. A first and a second armature body are pressed against the varistor element by way of a bracing device. At least one of the armature bodies has a shoulder on which a cross-member of the bracing device is supported. A tensioning leg is fitted to the cross-member.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for congestion mitigation in wireless communication networks are provided. The congestion mitigation can include assignment of a new user class, a mobile station identifier, a mobile station identifier and a reserved traffic channel and/or an alternative access channel in another wireless communication network. These congestion mitigation techniques can be employed for selected mobile stations when an activity on an access channel is above a threshold level.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for dynamic selection by a mobile station of its home agent using its preferred roaming list (PRL). A mobile station maintains a PRL comprising an association between (i) a first set of data identifying a first wireless wide area network (WWAN) and (ii) a first identifier of a first home agent. The mobile station detects a broadcast of the first set of data by the first WWAN. Responsive to detecting the broadcast of the first set of data by the first WWAN, the mobile station connects to the first WWAN. Responsive to connecting to the first WWAN, the mobile station uses the first identifier to register with the first home agent.
Abstract:
A surge arrester has a discharge current path. The discharge current path is surrounded by an insulating sleeve. The insulating sleeve has at least one area that is optically transparent.
Abstract:
A system and method for managing multiple mobile stations provisioned for use by a single user with a common mobile identification number (MIN). In an advanced intelligent network, a call control system may receive requests to set one of the multiple mobile stations to an active state. The call control system may also receive requests to set one or more of the multiple mobile stations to an inactive state. The call control system stores the active or inactive indication in a subscriber profile database. When a request is made to register one of the multiple mobile stations for service, the call control system determines if the mobile station is active or inactive. If the mobile station is inactive, it is not permitted to register. If the mobile station is active, it is permitted to register.
Abstract:
A split mechanical face seal having a rotating seal assembly comprising a rigid seal ring of split ring segments and a pair of attachable body ring segments holding the rotating seal ring segments together when the body ring segments are attached, a stationary seal ring assembly comprising a rigid seal ring of split ring segments and a pair of attachable housing segments holding the stationary seal ring segments together when the housing segments are attached, a single segment retainer ring having a split forming first and second opposing end faces, the retainer ring being made of a flexible material, the retainer ring being operatively engaged with the stationary seal ring segments and resilient members carried by the retainer ring and operatively engageable with axially facing abutments formed in the housing segments when the housing segments are attached such that the retainer ring exerts a biasing force against the stationary seal ring segments in a direction toward the rotating seal ring segments.
Abstract:
A replaceable sealing member is disclosed which includes a body, lip seal and bonded reinforcement section having a skirt portion and a lip support surface. The skirt portion and lip support restrict elastomeric flow of the body and lip seal portion of the sealing member to prevent extrusion damage. A radially extending flange, from which the skirt portion axially projects, is bonded to the body and has an abutment surface on one side for abutment against a shoulder in a metallic support, such as in a mud pump piston hub, for limiting axial movement of the replaceable sealing member.
