Systems and methods include providing an annular seal stack for an assembly. The seal stack is disposed within an annulus formed between a probe and a housing of the assembly and configured to provide a radial seal between the probe and the housing. The seal stack includes a first support retainer, a first lipseal, a first seal support system comprising at least one support ring disposed between the first support retainer and the first lipseal, a second support retainer configured to support the first lipseal, a second lipseal, a second seal support system comprising at least one support ring disposed between the second support retainer and the second lipseal, and a third support retainer configured to support the second lipseal.

Seal stack assembly

Systems and methods include providing an annular seal for an assembly. The seal includes a metallic annular body comprising an inner sealing leg having a first sealing lip, a second sealing lip, and a valley disposed between the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip. The valley contains a plating reserve, such that the plating thickness in the valley is greater than the plating thickness on the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip.

Dynamic metal seal

Systems and methods include providing an annular bimetallic seal for an assembly. The bimetallic seal includes a first sealing component formed from a first material, a second sealing component formed from a second material that is different than the first material, and a joint formed between the first sealing component and the second sealing component. The bimetallic seal is configured to form a radial seal between a first assembly component and a second assembly component formed from dissimilar metallic materials. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the first material and the second material are configured maintain the radial seal at extreme operating temperatures between the dissimilar metallic materials of the components of the assembly.

Bimetallic seal

Systems and methods include providing an annular seal stack for an assembly. The seal stack assembly is disposed between a probe and a housing of the assembly and configured to provide a radial seal between the probe and the housing. The seal stack assembly includes a first metallic seal, a second metallic seal, and a wiper assembly disposed between the first metallic seal and the second metallic seal. The wiper assembly includes a first wiper housing component having a tapered inner surface, a second wiper housing component having a tapered inner surface opposite the tapered inner surface of the first wiper housing component, and a wiper disposed between the first wiper housing component and the second wiper housing component.

Systems and methods are disclosed that include providing an outer tubular member, an inner tubular member telescopically disposed within the outer tubular member, and an annular seal disposed between the outer tubular member and the inner tubular member, the annular seal being resilient to permit relative movement between the outer tubular member and the inner tubular member, and the annular seal having in a radial cross-section: a first annular leg portion terminating at an end that is radially inward or radially outward, the first annular leg portion comprising a first open loop; and a second annular leg portion extending from the first annular leg portion and terminating at an end that is the other of radially inward or radially outward, the second annular leg portion comprising a second open loop.

It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a pre-stressed rolling mill which has the advantages of a conventional mono-block mill housing and utilizes a standard Cluster mill gauge eccentric bearing gauge control system. It is highly desirable to have a rolling mill with a low cost mill housing design, a high mill stiffness, a simplified gauge control system, a capacity for multiple work roll ranges, and satisfactory side to side tilting. Such a mill is capable of operating satisfactorily as a commercial temper mill and a commercial cold mill.

A support stand for reading material having a transparent plate (10) supported substantially above eye level (82) of a seated or standing reader. The plate is tilted toward the reader such that its front surface is approximately perpendicular to the reader's line of vision. Disposed near the lower edge of the plate on the side opposite the reader is a protruding member (12) which acts as a ledge for the reading material to rest against. Other configurations of this stand may include one or two secondary supporting plates (44 and 58), positioned at or below eye level, these plates being tilted such that their surfaces are also approximately perpendicular to the reader's line of vision and positioned at approximately the same distance from the reader's head.
