  • Patent number: 8967270
    Abstract: A rigless abandonment system including a surface vessel having an attached lifting device and a moonpool. The system further includes a cutting module configured to connect to a subsea wellhead, the cutting module having a wellhead connector having an actuatable lock and release mechanism, a motor assembly, and a cutter. An umbilical line connects the cutting module to the surface vessel, wherein the lifting device is used to raise and lower the cutting module connected to the surface vessel through the moonpool. A method for performing rigless casing cutting and wellhead removal operations, the method includes positioning a surface vessel above a subsea wellhead, where the surface vessel has a moonpool and a lifting device. The method further includes providing a cutting module, and deploying the cutting module through the moonpool, wherein the cutting module is connected to the surface vessel by an umbilical line.

  • Patent number: 6564405
    Abstract: A labor grip mechanism on each side of a main frame of a birthing bed, each labor grip mechanism having a post with a free end and a hand grip mounted on the free end. A first mounting construction is provided for slidably supporting each post for simultaneous movement between a first position wherein the hand grip is stowed underneath the patient support and a second position wherein the hand grip is oriented wholly out from underneath the patient support. A second mounting construction is provided for supporting each post for simultaneous rotational movement between the second position wherein the hand grip is also oriented in a plane beneath the plane of the patient support and a third position wherein the hand grip is oriented in a plane above the plane of the patient support. A hand grip positioning device is provided for facilitating the rotational movement only when the posts are in the aforesaid second or third position.

  • Patent number: 6344698
    Abstract: Robust alignment marks which are substantially resistant to degradation caused by semiconductor device fabrication steps are disclosed. The new alignment marks use a series of geometrical shapes that are staggered in respect to each other to achieve more left and right edges providing a checkerboard alignment mark. The geometrical shapes have a size that is selected so as to be within the resolving capability of the exposure tool, yet smaller than the resolving capability of the alignment system. The small staggered geometrical shapes provide a more symmetrical signal which is more resistant to variability in prior processing steps than the standard mark design.

  • Patent number: 5776645
    Abstract: A print bias target is imaged in a single layer of light-sensitive material. The print bias target is made up of a pair of concentric geometric shapes in which a plurality of target regions forms a plurality of isolated edges. Each target region is of a different image structure than each other target region immediately adjacent thereto. The positioning of a given isolated edge in the print bias target is determined relative to a corresponding isolated edge in the design image from which the print bias target was imaged. Focus setting and/or exposure setting for a lithographic system to minimize print bias may be determined using print bias information obtained from a print bias target matrix of varying exposure and focus. An imaging aberration may also be identified using print bias information from a print bias target matrix, such as lithographic astigmatism, lithographic coma and vibration.
