MODULAR FRACTURING SYSTEM WITH SINGLE SIDE INLETS
A fracturing manifold system includes a first manifold assembly in a side-by-side arrangement with a second manifold assembly. The first manifold assembly includes a plurality of first junctions, each having multiple inlet ports facing a first side of the fracturing manifold system. The second manifold assembly includes a plurality of second junction, each having multiple inlet ports facing a second side of the fracturing manifold assembly. Inlet ports on a single junction may be angled relative to each. The inlet ports may also be angled relative to a manifold flow path.
Space saving telescoping pipe to transport fluid
One variation may include a telescoping pipe comprising: a first pipe and a second pipe, wherein the second pipe is constructed and arranged to stretch and retract along the first pipe so that a length of the telescoping pipe can be extended or shortened; a first O-ring coupled between the first pipe and the second pipe; and a second O-ring coupled to an inner surface of the second pipe.

COMPACT TELESCOPIC EXTENSION FOR AN ELECTRIC HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE AND ASSOCIATED ELECTRIC HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE
A telescopic extension, typically for an electric household appliance, is described, said telescopic extension comprising: an inner tube, an outer tube, wherein said inner tube and said outer tube are slidable telescopically relative to one another, wherein said inner tube comprises, on an outer surface thereof, a plurality of deformations of predetermined shape; a sleeve fitted inside said outer tube, at one of its ends; a constraining device configured to lock sliding of the inner tube with respect to the outer tube, when said constraining device is at least partially engaged in one of said deformations; a slider and elastic means, wherein said slider cooperates with said constraining device under the action of said elastic means; and an actuating device operatively connected to said slider, wherein said slider comprises a guiding device for providing a guided movement between said slider and said constraining device.
Pipe joint
An annular sealing material seals a pipe joint between a socket and a spigot. The sealing material includes a bulb part which is composed of a first bulb, a second bulb located closer to the inner side of the socket than the first bulb, and a narrow part present between the first and second bulbs. The first bulb is pressed against the inner circumferential surface of the socket. The second bulb is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the spigot. The second bulb is inclined towards the pipe center from the first bulb in a natural state before it is provided between the socket and the spigot. The inner diameter of the second bulb is smaller than the outer diameter of the spigot in the natural state. The second bulb is extensible in the pipe diameter direction due to elastic deformation of the narrow part.
FEEDER DUCT ASSEMBLY WITH FLEXIBLE END FITTINGS
A feeder duct assembly for a gas turbine engine, which negates the need for a ball or axial joint in the duct for required for flexibility under thermal loading. The feeder duct assembly of the present innovation comprises an end fitting designed to meet flexibility requirements without compromising dynamic performance of the system with added weight from ball or axial joints in the ducts.
