  • Patent number: 8839653
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hydraulic tool working head guide. The hydraulic tool working head guide includes a main section having a general plate shape. The main section is adapted to be connected to an exterior surface of a hydraulic tool working head. The main section includes a slot having an open end at an edge of the main section and a closed end at a middle portion of the main section. The slot extends through a thickness of the main section. The closed end is adapted to be aligned with a receiving area of the hydraulic tool working head. The slot is adapted to substantially center a connector and/or a conductor in the receiving area.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 3970711
    Abstract: A method of improving the quality of ethylene glycols, particularly monoethylene glycol which is derived from ethylene oxide produced by the direct oxidation of ethylene with air or oxygen is described. The novel method involves the removal of certain impurities from the ethylene oxide producing reaction system prior to the final processing of the ethylene oxide produced to glycol products. In a particular embodiment contaminating impurities are removed from a purge stream taken from the ethylene oxide reaction system and which is utilized in the ethylene glycols reaction system. Removal of the impurities by the preferred method of carbon adsorption produces in the ethylene glycols reaction system, glycols which have improved ultraviolet light transmittance. In particular, monoethylene glycol having an ultraviolet light transmittance rendering it suitable for use in fiber making processes is produced.
