  • Publication number: 20040069565
    Abstract: A termination arrangement for a horizontal lifeline cable (4) for use with a structure (6) includes an elongate stocking (14) of woven wire form surrounding an end section of the cable (4). The stocking (14) has a first end (22) adapted and arranged for secure connection to the structure (6), and a second end (28) secured to the cable (4). Tension applied to the cable results in elongation of the stocking (14) and contraction onto the cable so that the cable is securely gripped by the stocking.

  • Publication number: 20040050620
    Abstract: A supporting bracket assembly for a horizontal lifeline cable (4) comprises a base plate (14), bracket means (24) and holding means (28) for the cable. The base plate (14) is provided for securing to a structure (6). The bracket means (24) is secured to the base plate and adapted for frictionally restrained pivotability with respect to the base plate and the holding means (28) for the cable (4) is secured to the bracket means (24). In this way, dynamic loading of the cable (4) results in pivoting of the bracket means (24), against frictional restraint, from a first position (36) into a second position (38).

  • Patent number: 6039118
    Abstract: A wellbore motion control apparatus for controlling the motion of a tubular wellbore string in a wellbore extending from a surface down into the earth and methods for using it. Such an apparatus, in one aspect, has a housing with a top end, a bottom end, and a hollow interior having an interior volume with fluid therein. There is at least one fluid passage apparatus having a top end and a bottom end and disposable in the hollow interior of the housing, the at least one fluid passage apparatus having a fluid flow channel extending therethrough from the top end to the bottom end.

  • Patent number: 4290484
    Abstract: A seal receptacle assembly is provided for affixation on a well conduit. The seal receptacle assembly can be provided to permit telescopic contraction and expansion of the well conduit in response to heating, cooling, or pressurization of the well conduit. The seal receptacle assembly includes an inner body sleeve having a lower end connected to the well tool or a conduit member, and an annular sealing element positioned over an outer cylindrical static sealing surface formed on the inner body sleeve. An outer housing having one end connected to the well conduit telescopes over the upper portion of the inner body sleeve. The housing has an inner cylindrical dynamic sealing surface for sealingly and slidably engaging the sealing element.

  • Patent number: 4102885
    Abstract: A one-step process for the preparation of 2,4-dihaloquinazolines is disclosed beginning with methoxycarbonyl- or phenoxycarbonyl-derivatives of substituted phenylureas which are cyclized and concomitantly halogenated with a cyclizing-halogenating reagent such as N,N-dimethylaniline in phosphorus oxychloride. The 2,4-dihaloquinazolines of the instant process are particularly valuable as intermediates in the preparation of 4-amino-2-(4-substituted-piperazin-1-yl) quinazolines useful in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension.

  • Patent number: 4098788
    Abstract: 2-Halo-4-aminoquinazolines are produced by a two-step process involving cyclization of 1-phenyl-3-cyanoureas or 1-phenyl-3-cyanothioureas in the presence of phosphorus halides and phosphorus oxyhalides to provide a phosphoquinazoline intermediate which is hydrolyzed to the quinazoline. Exemplary of the process is the intramolecular cyclization of 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-cyanourea in the presence of phosphorus pentachloride and phosphorus oxychloride to a phosphoquinazoline intermediate which is subsequently hydrolyzed with formic acid to 2-chloro-4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-quinazoline. The 2-halo-4-aminoquinazolines of the instant process are particularly valuable as intermediates in the preparation of 4-amino-2-(4-substituted-piperazin-l-yl)quinazolines useful in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, e.g. hypertension.
