โฆ Synopsis
This patent describes a piston ring that is claimed to provide reduced friction and wear. The design allows independent adjustment of the parameters controlling friction and wear to eliminate the trade off between low friction and low wear typical of prior art rings. The contact interface area between the ring and the bore surface is divided into a seal zone and bearing zones. Radial ports in the ring create the separate zones and ensure that the bearing zone is not subjected to pressure differential.

This patent uses torque transfer pins that are manufactured from memory metal. The purpose of this is to reduce wear and breakage of the torque transfer mechanism in the seal. In the event of excessive torque, such as during startup, the memory metal can withstand the additional superelastic strain,
