Abstract: A method for dynamic electrical testing of head gimbal assemblies may include initiating an automated continuous process that includes selecting an unmounted head gimbal assembly; aligning the unmounted head gimbal assembly; loading the unmounted head gimbal assembly to a disc; and testing the unmounted head gimbal assembly.

Abstract: This invention is a camping trailer towed by an ATV or off road vehicle. The trailer has a frame of steel or metallic material and a body of plastic or composite plastic which houses a perpendicular arc shelter when the inner tongue is extended and rotated forward onto the supporting movable tray and storage box. The trailer suspension is an axle which supports a plurality of wheels rotatable about an axes that are fixed with respect to a triangular device where the triangular device itself is rotated about an axis so that the wheels attached to the triangular plate will rotate or climb over uneven or rough terrain.

Abstract: This device is a trailer hitched to an atv or off road vehicle to haul cargo over an uneven or rough terrain. The trailer has a frame of steel tubing, a main axle, low pressure tires, trailer cargo box. The axle is comprised of a plurality of wheels rotatable about an axes that are fixed with respect to a cluster arm where cluster arm itself is rotated about an axis so that the wheels will rotate or climb over uneven terrain. The cargo box is constructed of a plastic composite material.

Abstract: Splittable multicomponent fibers, to split fibers made from such splittable fibers, to a processes for making such splittable and split fibers, and to nonwovens and other substrates made form the split fibers. The splittable multicomponent fibers can comprise one component comprising thermoplastic starch and another component comprising a non-starch thermoplastic polymer, wherein: (i) said second component is capable of being split or removed from said first component to provide at least one split fiber consisting essentially of said first component; and (ii) wherein the split fiber of said first component can have good elongation properties. The splittable multicomponent fibers can also provide split fibers of the thermoplastic starch component.

Abstract: An offshore marine structure and method, which structure includes a leg supported deck which holds hydrocarbon fluid processing equipment above the water's surface, and includes vertically aligned conductor guides. A self supporting fluid separator is positioned in said marine structure to receive a multi-phase stream of a hydrocarbon fluid from one or more wells. An upper segment of the fluid separator is slidably registered in vertically aligned conductor guides. A lower segment of the separator is embedded in the sea floor and operably engaged with said upper segment. A conductor riser is adjacently positioned by conductor guides in the marine structure to receive hydrocarbon liquid from the fluid separator. Discrete liquid, and combined vaporous flows are then conducted to the processing equipment for further handling.

Abstract: A well head protector for a well which is located at the floor of an offshore body of water. The protector includes a plurality of discrete sub-assemblies which, for installation purposes, are initially transported to a drilling vessel and positioned above the well head. The sub-assemblies are sequentially lowered from the vessel deck and assembled above the water surface into a composite unit. The completed unit is guidably lowered by the vessel's drilling derrick to its position surrounding the well head. The deflecting elements are then lowered into place.

Abstract: Riser for an offshore marine platform which includes facilities to receive, treat, and/or store hydrocarbon fluid from a plurality of dispersed submerged wells. The riser includes means to accommodate a plurality of conduits between the platform deck and the floor of the body of water. As a rigid, or non-rigid conduit is pulled downwardly through the riser, it engages a deflecting shoe. The latter deflects the pulled conduit into a direction away from the platform and along the ocean floor, whereby it can readily engage a pipeline, or attach to one of the dispersed wells.
