Publication number: 20150106144Abstract: A field crew management system receives status reports at a management server from a plurality of field devices. The status reports can include information related to a work order associated with each field device. The status reports can be regularly updated during operational time of each work order. Once the status reports are received at the management server, a work order tracking sheet is populated with the information contained in the status reports. Progress reports based upon the work order tracking sheet are then generated for a requesting party at specified time interval and sent to the requesting party.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2013Publication date: April 16, 2015Applicant: WAVSYS LLCInventors: Joshua Mangerson, John Rafferty, Sean Yazbeck

Patent number: 6346211Abstract: A method and apparatus for bending thermoplastic tube in which a pre-heated region of the tube is conformed to a required bend configuration while supported internally and externally to prevent the tube wall collapsing. The external support is provided by relatively movable formers which enclose a section of the tube at the point where the bending force is applied and this enclosed section moves progressively along the heated region as the bend is developed by the relative movement of the formers. The internal support is provided by fluid pressure higher than atmospheric pressure within the tube during the forming operation. Multiple bends can be formed sequentially and/or siitultateously.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1999Date of Patent: February 12, 2002Assignee: McKechnie Engineered Plastics LimitedInventors: John Rafferty, Robert Davidson
