Publication number: 20240091907Abstract: An abrasive blasting system that includes a blast hose; and a deadman assembly operably coupled therewith for controlling discharge out of the blast hose. The deadman assembly has a position of either a signal-flow or a no-flow position. When engaged to the signal-flow position, a burst or pulse of purge air is transferred to a mixer via a water injection conduit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Phuong Taylor Nguyen, Jade David Fogg, Antony Rodriguez

Patent number: 9343199Abstract: An umbilical for use in the offshore production of hydrocarbons, and in particular to a power umbilical for use in deep water applications, is described comprising a plurality of longitudinal strength members, said strength members having one or more varying characteristics along the length of the umbilical. In this way, the longitudinal strength members in the umbilical can be provided to have for example a higher or greater tensile strength where required, usually nearer to the surface of the water or topside, while having lower or less tensile strength, and usually therefore lower or less weight, where higher or greater strength is not as critical.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2010Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: TECHNIP FRANCEInventor: David Fogg

Patent number: 9159469Abstract: An umbilical for use in the offshore production of hydrocarbons, and in particular a power umbilical for use in deep water applications, is described comprising a plurality of longitudinal strength members, wherein at least one longitudinal strength member comprises rope comprising high strength organic fibers having a tensile modulus >100 GPa. In this way, the or each longitudinal strength member being such a rope achieves the synergistic benefit of favorable mechanical properties in the axial direction, with weight reduction and other favorable mechanical properties, especially during tensioning or the like of the umbilical, more especially during manufacture, installation and/or repair. With weight reduction, longer umbilicals for deeper water can be made and used.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2011Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: TECHNIP FRANCEInventors: David Fogg, Xiaoxue An, Dave Bromfield, Alan Dobson

Publication number: 20130331162Abstract: A gaming system, comprising a graphic user interface generated by a processor for a display device, the graphic user interface further comprising a field having a N×M matrix of spaces, wherein N and M are integers greater than three, and wherein each space of the matrix includes one of a plurality of different items. A cursor having an associated item and configured to allow a user to exchange a selected item from the field with the cursor item. Wherein forming a predetermined arrangement of three or more identical items results in the items within the arrangement being removed from the field.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2012Publication date: December 12, 2013Inventors: Alexander Higgins Krivicich, Kevin Tyler John, Tamar Erin Curry, David Jeffrey Barlia, Michael David Fogg, Matthew Jacob Palmer, Herbert Carl Goss, Nicola Geretti

Publication number: 20070094803Abstract: A support cushion has an elastic core having a first surface, a second surface and a thickness defined by the first surface and the second surface. A first cover portion substantially entirely encloses the elastic core. A pillow top surface is positioned adjacent the first surface of the elastic core. The pillow top surface includes a plurality of foam portions. A second cover portion at least partially covers the pillow top surface and the second cover portion attached to at least one of the first cover portion and the elastic core.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2006Publication date: May 3, 2007Applicant: Tempur World, LLCInventor: David Fogg

Publication number: 20050076446Abstract: A cushion having an elastic core and a pillow top layer or portion. The elastic core can have one or more layers of foam to provide varying degrees of cushioning and support. The pillow top layer is positioned adjacent to the elastic core and includes a plurality of strips. Any number of strips can form the pillow top layer. The strips can all have the same density or the density can vary among the strips to provide comfort zones. The pillow top layer can be connected to the elastic core in a variety of ways, such as through the use of a common cover or separate covers joined together.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2003Publication date: April 14, 2005Applicant: Tempur World, Inc.Inventor: David Fogg
