Publication number: 20150343558Abstract: A subsea friction welding apparatus comprises a chuck for supporting and retaining a weld item prior to welding the weld item to a work-piece, said chuck comprises a plurality of jaws having an internal profile to grip a corresponding profiled surface on the weld item and means for radially expanding the internal profile of the jaws of the chuck, said means actuable by axial insertion of the weld item into the chuck thereby avoiding relative rotation of the chuck and the weld item during insertion of the weld item into the chuck. In operation of the method, a supply of weld items and a weld head are deployed to a subsea location and the weld items are loaded via ROV into the weld head at the subsea location.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2015Publication date: December 3, 2015Applicant: PROSERV UK LTD.Inventors: Adam James O'Leary, David Benjamin Smith, Nathan Alan Paculba, Kevin Grant Munro, David Ewen Gibson

Publication number: 20140046896Abstract: A system and computer implemented method, in the case of pre-employment screening and where other commercial goods and services require review of an individual (ie an Applicant), wherein a Reviewer uses an automated, efficient permission based system to identify and access private and semi-private information of an Applicant maintained in their social network accounts, with particular benefit where these have privacy settings. The system initiates a Reviewer request, automates the Applicant's identification of and approval to their social network and automates the retrieval of relevant information and reporting to the Reviewer. The process can be initiated by either the Reviewer or the Applicant. The system filters for potential legally discriminatory protected class information from the Reviewer residing in social network accounts and returns relevant information in an efficient, automated and permission based manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2013Publication date: February 13, 2014Inventor: Kevin Grant Potter

Publication number: 20100056717Abstract: A shelf-stable, one-component, water-dispersed, film-forming, thermoset resin composition, which composition is also solvent free, formaldehyde-free, and latex compatible, is disclosed. The resin is a latex dispersion formed by emulsion polymerization of monomer mixtures including one or more carboxylic acid-containing monomers and hydroxyl-containing monomers, and ideally including monomers such as styrene, butadiene, and/or acetonitrile. Monomers such as (meth)acrylates or (meth)acrylamides may be substantially absent, to avoid off-gassing volatile organic compounds when the composition is cured. The compositions can be used, for example, to prepare reinforced glass mats, insulation, and roofing shingles, used in thermosetting paper applications, or can be dried, melted and shaped at a temperature below the cure temperature, and then cured at the cure temperature. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers in the compositions can be varied over a wide range by varying the monomer composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2008Publication date: March 4, 2010Applicant: Mallard Creek PolymersInventors: Kevin Grant Suddaby, Corey D. Crooks

Publication number: 20090292081Abstract: Compositions capable of being cured and imparting durability, in the absence or without the use of conventional sulfur-based cure systems, are disclosed. The compositions include a carboxylated base polymer and an aluminum compound, wherein the aluminum compound comprises a retarding anion. The compositions can be used to form elastomeric articles of manufacture such as gloves, condoms, and finger cots, and as binders and coatings. Retarding anions are those which require time to dissociate from the aluminum ion, thereby delaying the crosslinking of the carboxylated polymer. The aluminum compounds can be used to manufacture gloves from aqueous dispersions of the carboxylated polymers, including, for example, carboxylated nitrile latexes, in a coagulant dip process.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2008Publication date: November 26, 2009Applicant: Bangkok Synthetics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kevin Grant Suddaby
