Abstract: An external component including a vibratory portion configured to vibrate in response to a sound signal to evoke a hearing percept via bone conduction and including a coupling portion configured to removably attach the external component to an outer surface of skin of a recipient of the hearing prosthesis while imparting deformation to the skin of the recipient at a location of the attachment, in a one-gravity environment, of an amount that is about equal to or equal to that which results from the external component having mass.

Abstract: A bending apparatus for coiled tubing protects along the entire path of coiled tubing from the reel to the injector, while still protecting a main controlled bend to the injector. The bending apparatus includes a conduit having a bend portion and a flexible portion. The main controlled bend is isolated in the bend portion, while smaller adjustment bends can be designated for the flexible portion. An impingement sleeve further protects and support coiled tubing within the conduit. The bend portion can be defined by an exterior support for the stability and strength of the bend portion, when the entire conduit is made of flexible material. A threader provides for safe loading from the reel to the conduit. A buckle preventer can be added to prevent damage after exiting the conduit. A blowout preventer can be added to cut and isolate the coiled tubing between the conduit and the reel.

Abstract: A bending apparatus for coiled tubing protects the entire path of coiled tubing from the reel to the injector, while still protecting a main controlled bend from the reel to the injector. The bending apparatus includes a conduit having a bend portion and a flexible portion. The main controlled bend is isolated in the bend portion, while a smaller adjustment bend is designed for the flexible portion. The changes in the upright angle from dispensing coiled tubing from different levels of the reel no longer cause damage. The changes in the lateral angle from dispensing coiled tubing from both sides of the reel no longer cause damage. A table mount can also be added to allow more adjustment for changes in the lateral angle.

Abstract: The system and method for processing flowback fluid include a plurality of wellheads producing flowback fluid flows, a plurality of first stage separators corresponding to at least one wellhead of an installation with multiple wellheads and multiple flowback fluid flows, a plurality of metering devices corresponding to each first stage separator, and a second stage separator in fluid connection with the metering devices and the first stage separators. The second stage separator includes a solids separator to further control the storage volumes of the first and second stage separators and retention time in the second stage separator by removing solids.

Abstract: The system and method for processing flowback fluid include a plurality of wellheads producing flowback fluid flows, a manifold skid, a plurality of first stage separators corresponding to at least one wellhead of an installation with multiple wellheads and multiple flowback fluid flows, a plurality of metering devices corresponding to each first stage separator, and a second stage separator in fluid connection with the metering devices and the first stage separators. Flowback fluid flows pass from the wellhead to the manifold skid so that the flowback fluid flows can be distributed under controlled conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate. The manifold skid improves safety, efficiency, and control of the later separation processes in the first stage separators and second stage separator.

Flowback fluid flows pass from the wellhead to the first stage separators for initial separation of a gas phase, through the metering devices for determination of production levels for each wellhead, and into the second stage separator for an additional gas phase separation. The storage volumes of the first and second stage separators control the retention time in the second stage separator for safe and efficient operation.
