A system provides regulated delivery of a high-pressure gas. A first flow path, coupled to a high-pressure gas source, is in fluid communication with a chamber. A flow restrictor, disposed in the first flow path, slows the gas traveling along the first flow path to the chamber. A second flow path, coupled to the high-pressure gas source, is in fluid communication with the chamber. A third flow path connects the chamber to a pressure regulator. A valve, disposed in the second flow path, seals the second flow path when gas pressure at the source exceeds gas pressure in the chamber. The valve opens the second flow path when the gas pressure at the source is balanced with the gas pressure in the chamber allowing the high-pressure gas to flow to the regulator via the third flow path.

Gas temperature reducing system for regulating delivery of a high-pressure gas

A pneumatic valve controller is provided for use with a refillable gas tank that has an inlet and an outlet with a spring-loaded valve disposed in the outlet. The spring-loaded valve is biased to define a flow path between an interior of the gas tank and the outlet. The controller's housing includes a cylinder with a gas filling port in fluid communication with a first axial end of the cylinder. The cylinder's second axial end is open and aligned with the spring-loaded valve. A piston is disposed in the cylinder. A check valve has an input and an output with the input in fluid communication with the gas filling port and the output in fluid communication with the inlet of the gas tank.

A swaged-on fitting, for anchoring exterior wires to a cable, includes an outer ring and a split inner ring. The inner ring has an inside grooved pattern, which is substantially an angled cross-hatching of shallow grooves. The two grooved halves of the inner ring are placed under the bare ends of the wires and pressed on either side of the cable jacket such that the pattern contacts the jacket. The outer ring is slid over the wires, so it overlaps the inner halves. The fitting is swaged-on, locking in the wires between the rings and embossing the jacket with the cross-hatching pattern of the inner ring, without puncturing the jacket. The grooves on the inner ring thus grip the cable jacket, preventing rotational and translational movement of the wires on the jacket while maintaining the structural integrity of the jacket.

Swaged-on, external electrode anchoring connection

A connector anchors as outer conductor onto a cable and connects the outer conductor to the cable's inner conductor without exposing the inner conductor to the ambient environment. The connector includes a longitudinally split cylinder having a thicker center wall and a pair of flanking walls that wrap around a notched section of the cable and contact the inner conductor. An inner ring with multiple recessed interior circumferential grooves wraps around and overlaps the split cylinder so that the grooves will emboss and grip the cable's jacket without piercing the jacket when swaged. The outer conductor is placed over the inner ring. An outer ring anchors the outer conductor to the inner ring when swaged.

Corrosion resistant, environmentally sealing, electrically conducting, cable connector

A corrosion resistant, environmentally sealing, swaged-on conductive fitting for a coaxial cable is provided. The cable has inner and external conductors. A stepped intermediate ring is fitted over exposed lengths of trimmed layers of the inner conductor and abuts a trimmed end of a jacket that covers the inner conductor. An inner ring having a socket with interior recessed circumferential grooves is placed over and swaged against the intermediate ring so that the grooves overlap the cable's jacket and are embossed into and anchor the inner ring to the jacket. The external conductor is anchored between the inner ring and an outer ring when the outer ring is swaged. An electrically conductive path is provided from said external conductor through the inner and intermediate rings to the inner conductor without exposing the inner conductor to a corrosive environment.
