Abstract: A method and apparatus for positioning and supporting the work platform of a mobile workover rig is disclosed. The work platform of the preferred embodiment of the present invention utilizes a unique support structure and automated positioning system for positioning the work platform at the desired height above the wellhead equipment. The preferred embodiment of the present invention utilizes a specialized automated “pinning” system that secures the work platform at the desired height. Additionally, the present invention utilizes one or more support cylinders to position and support the work platform in the horizontal position over the wellhead equipment. The automated positioning and pinning system of the present invention is a unique system that significantly reduces the time required to position the work platform of a mobile workover rig in the operating position, as well as significantly reduces the risk of injury to rig personnel assisting in the positioning operations.

Abstract: A device for concealing a space between an object and a planar surface includes a first interlocking strip and a second interlocking strip engageable with the first interlocking strip. The first and second interlocking strips move relative to each other such that they span the space between the object and the planar-surface. The first and second interlocking strips are movable linearly, angularly, and vertically to achieve concealment of the space between the object and the planar surface.

Abstract: This invention relates to the need to improve the corrosion resistance of very low total chlorine epoxy resins which contain very low contents of organically bound chlorine. The invention relates to the improvement of corrosion resistance of such epoxy resins for electronic applications by the addition of specific additives acceptable to the electronics industry. The use of these low chlorine resins in combination with said additives has been shown to be corrosion-free on highly corrosive surfaces such as aluminum and copper, which are frequently encountered in electronic applications.

Abstract: A sealed drain tool for a pump with a drain has a cylindrical tool housing. The housing has a mounting end for attaching the tool to the pump. The housing also has a free end and a bore extending longitudinally through the housing from the mounting end to the free end. The bore defines an inlet opening at the mounting end for communicating with the drain opening of the pump and has a free and opening at the free end. A plunger is slidably received within the bore. A stop element prevents the plunger from exiting the free end opening. A seal is provided between the plunger and bore adjacent the free end for preventing fluid from exiting the free end opening. A discharge opening in the tool housing permits fluid to pass from the drain of the pump through the inlet opening into the bore of the tool housing and to exit the tool housing through the discharge opening to a suitable container.

Abstract: A method for deriving format data for a functional disk drive volume includes the following steps. Initially format data is written onto a reference functional disk drive volume. A reference functional volume format data structure is then established which associates reference functional volume functional track values with physical track addresses for each track of the functional volume for which the format data was written. Thereafter, when a command is received to format a new functional volume, a copy of the reference functional volume format data structure is derived. Then, when a write command, for example, directed to a track of the new functional volume is received, the copy of the reference functional volume format data structure is used to access a corresponding formatted track from the reference physical disk drive volume. If a write action is then performed on the corresponding formatted track, the updated track is then written back to a physical disk drive at a new location.
