Abstract: A picture frame hanging wire applicator tool includes an elongated body member, an end member attached to and projecting transversely from an end of the body member for holding the body member in relation to a top edge of a picture frame, and a series of longitudinally-spaced apart protuberances in the form of pegs carried along a front side of the body member. Each of the pegs carried by the body member provides a means for retaining a picture frame hanging wire at an apex point which is at a known distance from the top edge of the picture frame. Indicia labels can be provided on the back side of the frame for recording the distance between the hanging wire apex point and the top edge of the picture frame for use by the end user or person who later will hang the picture frame at a desired location on a wall.

Abstract: In general, the present invention provides processes and apparatus for bending and straightening or otherwise installing marine pipelines at underwater installations, and includes systems in which marine pipelines are installed at water depths to 250 feet or more, utilizing an underwater chamber which may be operated with its interior wet, dry or combinations thereof. In one form, the system provides for interconnecting wellheads or other stations with manifolds or other stations and comprises running marine pipeline generally vertically downwardly from the water surface into the work chamber, mounted in operative association with an underwater wellhead or station, wherein the pipe is bent in the desired radius and through the desired angle and then straightened to exit from the chamber and wellhead in a substantially horizontal attitude such that it may then be pulled to a manifold or other underwater station with, for example, a wire line.
