  • Apparatus and Method for Recovering Fluids From a Well and/or Injecting Fluids Into a Well
    Publication number: 20100206576
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for diverting fluids either into or from a well are described. Some embodiments include a diverter conduit that is located in a bore of a tree. The invention relates especially but not exclusively to a diverter assembly connected to a wing branch of a tree. Some embodiments allow diversion of fluids out of a tree to a subsea processing apparatus followed by the return of at least some of these fluids to the tree for recovery. Alternative embodiments provide only one flowpath and do not include the return of any fluids to the tree. Some embodiments can be retrofitted to existing trees, which can allow the performance of a new function without having to replacing the tree. Multiple diverter assembly embodiments are also described.

  • PORTABLE AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20100115896
    Abstract: A portable air filtration system used in industrial environments to filter and re-circulate fumes from a fume source includes a housing that filters the fumes from the fume source. The housing defines at least one housing inlet to receive the fumes and a housing outlet to dispense the fumes. A receiving assembly is releaseably engageable with the at least one housing inlet and includes a receiver inlet and a receiver outlet. The receiver outlet is in fluid communication with the at least one housing inlet. The receiver inlet receives the fumes from the fume source and transfers the fumes to the housing inlet. The system is capable of being modified between a plurality of configurations.

  • Apodised binary Bragg grating
    Patent number: 7680374
    Abstract: An apodised Bragg grating comprises a base grating section formed by a base order 5 periodic pattern of marks and spaces. The Bragg grating further comprises one or more apodised grating sections that are formed by a periodic pattern of marks and spaces, each defined by the base order pattern from which at least some of the marks are missing. The determination of which marks are missing may be performed by combining the base order pattern with a higher order modulation envelope function.
