PORT SEAL [10 records]

Record 1 2025-02-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

This disclosure relates to a spacesuit and vehicle port interface(suitport) used in subject ingress and egress relative to the spaceport.... The suitport concept has evolved from concepts for rear entry space suits donned in conventional airlocks. As a result, existing rear-entry suit systems carry all the mechanisms needed to draw the "backpack" portable life support system(PLSS) to the upper torso of the pressure suit and all the levers, cams, and associated hardware used to secure the backpack to the suit to obtain a robust attachment and pressure seal.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
  • Helicopters (Military)
CONT

The fire extinguishing equipment for an airliner such as the Douglas DC-10 incorporates three systems with six pressurized agent containers, two for each engine. The containers for the wing-mounted engines are located in pairs in the leading edge of the wing between the nacelle and the fuselage on each side of the aircraft.... The discharge cartridge is an electrically fired explosive unit that provides force to rupture the disk seal in the outlet port of the container and release the extinguishing agent to the deployment lines. One discharge cartridge is installed on each wing-mounted container and two are installed on the aft-engine container. The discharge cartridge contains two squibs(explosive charges) that are fired by an electric circuit that heats the powder to the ignition point. When the fire extinguisher control handle is pulled down, the electric circuit is closed and the squibs are fired. The force of the explosion ruptures the disk seal, thus releasing the extinguishing agent. A screen in the discharge head prevents particles of the disk from entering the deployment line.

OBS

This system is specific to the McDonnell Douglas Corporation aircraft (DC-9, DC-10).

Record 5 2008-03-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
OBS

Application of the brake pedal, which is linked to the master cylinder piston rod, causes the piston rod to push the piston forward inside the master cylinder casting. A slight forward movement blocks the compensating port, and the buildup of pressure begins. This pressure is transmitted to the brake assembly. When the brake pedal is released and returns to the "off" position, the piston return spring pushes the front piston seal and the piston back to full "off" position against the piston return stop. This again clears the compensating port. Fluid that was moved into the brake assembly and brake connecting line is then pushed back to the master cylinder by the brake piston which is returned to the "off" position by the pressure of the brake piston return springs. Any pressure or excess volume of fluid is relieved through the compensating port and passes back to the fluid reservoir. This prevents the master cylinder from locking or causing the brakes to drag.

  • Packaging Techniques

DEF

A liquid filling technique by which containers are filled in a low vacuum atmosphere.

OBS

It requires a seal on the container and fills the container(usually a bottle) to a predetermined level. The purpose of the low vacuum atmosphere is first to eliminate overflow and recirculation which are inherent in a pure vacuum filler, and to avoid filling a cracked or chipped-neck bottle. If a vacuum is not established in container, it will not fill; also prevents drip.... As in a gravity filler, level is established in the bottle when the vent port through which the air in the bottle escapes, is closed by the rising liquid.

Technique de remplissage des récipients faisant usage d'une cuve maintenue en dépression.

CONT

Gravité vide : L'intérieur de la cuve est maintenue en dépression. Le bec, dans son principe, est semblable aux becs gravité simple et gravité pression, mais ne comporte ni joint de clapet, ni joint coulissant. Son étanchéité est assurée par la dépression dont la valeur absolue est légèrement supérieure à la pression hydrostatique à l'orifice d'écoulement du bec. Le processus d'emplissage est sensiblement le même que pour la formule gravité pression. La vitesse d'écoulement n'est pas influencée par la dépression. Une bouteille, comportant une section globale de fuites sensiblement égale ou supérieure à la section totale du bec, n'est pas emplie.

DEF

A movable crest gate in the form of a sector of a circle hinged at the apex. The arc face effects a water seal with the edge of a recess into which the gate may be lowered. The gate is raised and held up by the pressure of water admitted to the recess from the headwater. It is lowered by closing the inlet port to the recess and draining the water from it.

La face cylindrique forme un joint étanche avec le bord d'une fosse dans laquelle la vanne peut être abaissée. La vanne est relevée et maintenue en position par la pression de l'eau qu'on laisse entrer de l'amont dans la fosse. Pour l'abaisser, on ferme l'orifice d'entrée dans la fosse et on laisse échapper l'eau qui s'y trouve.
