Abstract: A sampling port includes an elongated flexible support tube having an interior surface bounding a first passageway extending between a first end and an opposing second end, the first passageway being closed at the first end of the support tube and open at the second end of the support tube. An elongated flexible sampling tube has an interior surface bounding a second passageway extending between a first end and an opposing second end, the second passageway being open at the first end of the sampling tube, at least a portion of the sampling tube adjacently extending along the length of the support tube and being connected to the support tube. A flange encircles and radially outwardly projecting from the support tube and the sampling tube at a location spaced apart from the first end of the support tube and the first end of the sampling tube.

Abstract: A fitting for inserting a pig into a pipeline. The fitting comprises a cast body having a first end for connecting to a first end of a pipeline and a second end for connecting to a second end of the pipeline. The cast body further comprises a third end arranged at a predetermined angle to the first and second end of the cast body. A retractable guide within the cast body can be at least partially inserted into a run portion of the cast body for delivery or retrieval of the pig.

Abstract: A reusable container for the sterile transfer of pharmaceutical recipients, in particular of syringe bodies. The container comprises an outer case and a sterilizable interior, wherein the interior is microbially isolated from the environment of the container. The interior has at least one holder for accommodating at least one nest for storing a plurality of pharmaceutical recipients. The nest can be removably accommodated in the holder. The container further has at least one container door for removing or introducing the nest into the interior and at least one lock for coupling the container to a sterile space. The lock is configured in such a way that, after coupling to the sterile space, it is possible to open the container door without substantially suspending sterility.

Abstract: An assembly for insertion of an object into a pipeline comprises a base, a connector, and a set of pins. The base has a cylindrical passage and is connected to a mechanism for configured to drive the object into an inlet in the pipeline. The connector includes a head and a cylinder with a threaded internal surface and a external surface having a groove spanning a circumference of the external surface. The connector is rotatable within the cylindrical passage in the base in a first direction and held substantially stationary within the cylindrical passage in the base in a second direction by the set of pins in cooperation with the groove. The base is rotatable in the first direction and held substantially stationary in the second direction while connected to the inlet in the pipeline by the connector.

Abstract: Non-limiting, illustrative systems and methods for collecting rain water are disclosed. Given by way of non-limiting example, a down spout interface bladder is removably attachable to an end section of a down spout. A rain water holding device is hydraulically couplable to the down spout interface bladder.

Abstract: An insulated transition spool apparatus for mounting unheading devices to pressure vessels, such as coker vessels, and enabling repetitive operation thereof is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an outer housing, an inner housing that encloses an insulating space between the inner and outer housing, a side feed entry aperture in each housing and a spool adapter flange to facilitate attachment of the spool to the vessel.

Abstract: A hose-in-hose coupler having a primary or inner hose assembly and a surrounding secondary or outer hose assembly. The secondary hose assembly is connected by opposing retractable sleeves which when disconnected may by retracted or separated to expose the primary hose assembly.

Abstract: A method for facilitating fabrication of a coupling member includes a first step of boring one of upwardly open, passageways, a communication passageway and an auxiliary passageway in a body block, a second step of inserting a closure member into the auxiliary passageway, a third step of welding the closure member to the inner peripheral body portion defining the auxiliary passageway, and a fourth step of boring the other upwardly open passageway in the body block. The closure member is inserted in the second step so as to be positioned at least party in the portion where the other upwardly open passageway is to be formed.

Abstract: A Hose-In-Hose coupler having a primary or inner hose assembly and a surrounding secondary or outer hose assembly. The secondary hose assembly is connected by slideable sleeves which when disconnected may by extended or separated to expose the primary hose assembly.

Abstract: A universal conduit body adapter includes an elongate generally tubular body having a pair of opposed substantially parallel side portions bounded by a pair of opposed ends, with the body defining an upper and a lower surface. A pair of mounting holes are at the lower surface with one hole being located adjacent each body end for mounting the adaptor to a conduit body. A plurality of pairs of holes are located at the upper surface with one hole of each pair being located adjacent each body end. The holes of the plurality of pairs are spaced in non-registry with the mounting holds at the lower surface and are compatibly spaced to attach to an electrical fixture component.
