Patent number: 7715684Abstract: A cable exit trough with pivoting cover. The cover having a cover plate and a pivot plate hingedly mounted thereto for easy access to the trough. The exit trough may define an insert aperture for receiving modular cable management inserts. The modular insert providing an additional cable management device such as a curved guidewall. The cable management device may alternatively be fixed to the cable exit trough. Removable snap-mounted flanges may also be included in the exit trough.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2006Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Wayne Johnson, Brian L. Johnson, Thomas W. Kampf, Alex Watts, Michael J. Wentworth

Patent number: 7614817Abstract: Couplers for a cable trough system including a terminal end sized to receive a terminal end of a trough member along a longitudinal direction of the body. A spring may be coupled to the body for securing the terminal end of the trough member to the coupler, the spring including first and second spring arms extending generally in opposition to one another in a plane generally parallel to the longitudinal direction. The spring may be received in a slot formed by the trough member. Also included may be a spring release mechanism coupled to the body, the spring release mechanism sliding in the longitudinal direction between a locked position, such that the first and second spring arms engage the terminal end of the trough, and an unlocked position, such that the first and second fingers release the first and second arms of the spring.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2006Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Gary F. Nault, Timothy J. Haataja, Matthew D. Ferris, Alex Watts

Patent number: 7445042Abstract: At least one three phase driven pumps (56) in a hydrocarbon well (10) well bore (12) uses frequency shift keyed digital signals (78) to pass instructions from a surface station (46, 26, 34, 30) to a tool (14, 76, 56) and reports from a tool (14, 76, 56) to the surface station (46, 26, 34, 30) in common mode through the three phase cables (16) using a star point (58) of the three phase cables (16) after each pump as the signal transmission and reception point and as the point for coupling a DC Power supply (28), also provided in common mode on the three phase cables (16), to the down hole electronic equipment (72 76). The surface equipment (46) and the tool (14) use as a common ground. The digital messages comprises an address portion (80) identifying either the tool (14) for which an instruction (82) is destined or the tool (14) from which a report (also 82) originates. The digital message (18) also comprises a checksum (84) for error identification and correction.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2003Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: John Freer, Mark McCorry, Alex Watt
