20090209141 | CABLE AND CABLE CONNECTION ASSEMBLY - A cable connection assembly ( | 08-20-2009 |
20090246995 | CABLE CONNECTOR HAVING FLUID RESERVOIR - Embodiments of a cable connector are provided that include an inner connector assembly and an outer connector housing. In use, the cable connector securely fastens or splices together at least two cables or cable sections and in electrical communication while also providing fluid communication therebetween. The cable connector further protects, and preferably seals off, the connection interface between the cables or cable sections and from the environment. | 10-01-2009 |
20100059275 | CABLE SPLICE CONNECTION ASSEMBLY - A cable splice connection assembly for coupling a first cable to a second cable generally includes a main body having first and second ends and defining an inner cavity, the first end configured to receive at least a portion of a first cable therein, and the second end configured to receive at least a portion of a second cable therein, and a first engagement mechanism configured to couple the main body to a first cable wherein the first engagement mechanism includes a cable seal, wherein the cable seal includes an adhesive seal. | 03-11-2010 |
20100062628 | CABLE TERMINATION CONNECTION ASSEMBLY - A cable termination connection assembly for coupling a cable to an apparatus generally includes a main body defining an inner cavity having first and second ends, the main body configured to receive a pressurized fluid, and the first end configured to receive at least a portion of the cable therein, and a first engagement mechanism configured to couple the main body to the cable, wherein the first engagement mechanism includes a first adhesive seal. | 03-11-2010 |
20110043244 | ON-LINE TIME DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER SYSTEM - A number of TDR systems and testing methods are provided that improve the quality and accuracy of information collected when propagating a signal along a length of cable in order to pinpoint specific anomalies. One or more of the TDR systems includes, for example, a computing device, a pulse generator, and at least one capacitive test sensor. The at least one capacitive test sensor transmits/receives pulses to/from a power system component, such as an insulated power cable, in a capacitive manner. | 02-24-2011 |
20110294350 | CONNECTORS WITH STEPPED INNER CAVITY - A connector or similar apparatus for connecting or terminating at least one cable or cable section is provided. The connector includes at least one stepped cavity for receiving a cooperatingly sized and configured stepped conductor end of the cable or cable section. The stepped cavity includes two or more adjoining cavity sections of decreasing diameter. After insertion of the stepped conductor end of the cable or cable section into the stepped cavity, the cable or cable section may be affixed to the connector via crimping or other suitable coupling techniques. Prior to insertion, the stepped conductor end is cleaned so as to remove oxidation, dirt and debris, and/or strand fill, etc. | 12-01-2011 |
20130276907 | VALVE ASSEMBLY - A valve assembly configured to close off the flow of fluid within a fluid injection assembly includes a fluid column having a first open end and a second open end. A fluid flow path is defined between the first and second open ends of the fluid column, and a saturation valve portion is disposed within the fluid flow path. The saturation valve portion is a first configuration when no fluid is flowing through the fluid flow path, and the saturation valve portion transitions to a second configuration when fluid is flowing through the fluid flow path. | 10-24-2013 |
20140266271 | INJECTION PROTOCOL - An injection protocol for a cable includes selecting a cable for testing, selecting a pre-injection electrical discharge test for determining if electrical discharge activity occurs at or about operating voltage of the cable, configuring the cable for the pre-injection electrical discharge test; running the pre-injection electrical discharge test on the cable, and determining whether to inject the cable with a restorative fluid based upon electrical discharge activity detected at or about operating voltage of the cable. | 09-18-2014 |
