  • Publication number: 20230121786
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to cleaning compositions in general, and cleaning compositions that are well suited for use by individuals, who experience adverse health effects that may occur upon exposure to certain chemicals. This condition, characterized as multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS), makes it virtually impossible for certain individuals to use commercially available cleaning products without inducing immunological responses. The disclosure presents and describes protocols for the formulation and evaluation of a variety of cleaning products and dilutable cleaning product concentrates using a combination of 14C assay, head space analysis and screening of both ingredients and final products for governmentally-regulated materials. The methods and compositions newly presented herein avoid causing adverse health responses in individuals and are suitable for use by any person, particularly individuals who experience MCS.

  • Publication number: 20230036999
    Abstract: An annular seal member comprising a seal body comprising a locating portion locatable against a wall element of an offshore structure, an inner surface, an outer surface and a lip portion that defines an open mouth of the seal member for receiving an elongate element therethrough; wherein the seal body is locatable against the wall element such that when a static pressure acting on the outer surface of the seal body exceeds a static pressure acting on the inner surface of the seal body a net positive pressure is exerted on the outer surface which at least partly deforms inwardly to provide a portion of the seal body for sealing against an outer surface of the elongate element. An offshore structure.

  • Publication number: 20230034034
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cleaning composition for sanitizing or disinfecting hard surfaces containing a cationic biocide, surfactant and low levels of VOC solvents. The cleaning composition is adapted to clean a variety of hard surfaces without leaving behind a visible residue and creates low levels of streaking and filming on the treated surface. The cleaning composition contains less than 5% by weight of VOCs. The cleaning composition may be used alone as a liquid or spray formulation or in combination with a substrate, for example, a pre-loaded cleaning wipe.

  • Patent number: 11418016
    Abstract: A pull-in head assembly (8) for releasably connecting a pulling arrangement (112) to an elongate flexible structure (4, 6). The pull-in head assembly (8) comprises a body (30) which defines a pulling axis X of the pull-in head and a retaining member (32) which is configured to secure the pull-in head assembly (8) to an elongate flexible structure (4, 6) such that a pulling force exerted on the body (30) along the pulling axis X is transferred to the elongate flexible structure (4, 6). The pull-in head assembly (8) is configured such that, in use, the body (30) and the elongate flexible structure (4, 6) are rotatable with respect to each other about the pulling axis X.

  • Patent number: 11404854
    Abstract: A pull-in head assembly (8) for releasably connecting a pulling arrangement (112) to an elongate flexible structure (4, 6). The pull-in head assembly (8) comprises a body (30) which defines a pulling axis X of the pull-in head assembly (8) and a retaining member (32) arranged around the pulling axis X. The retaining member (32) is configured to secure the pull-in head assembly (8) to an elongate flexible structure (4, 6) such that, in use, a pulling force exerted on the pull-in head assembly (8) along the pulling axis X is transferred to the elongate flexible structure (4, 6). The retaining member (32) is configured to release the pull-in head assembly (8) from the elongate flexible structure (4, 6) when the pulling force exceeds a predetermined threshold such that the pull-in head assembly (8) can be separated from the elongate flexible structure (4, 6).
