  • Publication number: 20020124900
    Abstract: The present invention concerns weaving. In particular, it is a woven material produced using tape-like warp and tape-like weft through the employment of a rotary type shedding device which also functions as a direct specific-weave patterning device and a pick guiding device. The material according to the invention has a constructional constitution of at least some of the warp and weft that is non-homogenous. The invention also relates to a weaving device for producing woven material with tape-like warp and weft, comprising a rotary device, which is capable of producing more than one fabric simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 6408944
    Abstract: For an apparatus and method to shut down pipelines, an apparatus frame is supported by the pipe to be shut down, and includes a pointed drill and a drill cylinder to drill a hole, essentially similar in diameter size with the plug cylinder or, when in the same temperature, essentially smaller in diameter size than the plug cylinder, through the pipe to be shut down. The apparatus includes a plug cylinder and equipment for installing the plug cylinder in the drill hole. There is a channel inside the drill cylinder and/or plug cylinder and/or shaft to feed a coolant, a flowing substance, preferably hydrogen, carbonic acid, or other such substance, cooling and at the same time reducing the size of the plug cylinder until it is inserted in the drilled hole. After the plug cylinder has been inserted, the flow of the coolant stops. As a result, the temperature of the plug cylinder increases, and the size of the plug cylinder increases as well.

  • Patent number: 6125928
    Abstract: System for controlling oil well fires by blocking the production or drilling pipes. A box incorporating a movable piston is fitted around the pipe. The piston carries, on its forward end, a drilling cylinder (3), which can be brought to the pipe by a hydraulic piston-cylinder arrangement. Subsequently, the drilling cylinder drills through the pipe wall and after that the drilling cylinder or a separate plugging cylinder (4) is left in the drilled hole and blocks the fluid flow through the pipe. The process is remote controlled.
