Abstract: Apparatus for hydrostatic testing of items having a flanged opening, such as flanged pipe sections, which apparatus contains a actuator having a actuator shaft attached to a blind flange, which actuator can be powered from a power source on a remotely operated vehicle, which items include those items located on land as well as subsea. Also provided is a remotely operated vehicle having a power source such as a hydraulic system that is used to operate the actuator on the hydrostatic testing apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for hydrostatic testing of openings in items surrounded by a flange, such as flanged pipe sections, flanged pipelines, flanged hose assemblies, as well as other flanged equipment requiring initial and/or periodic pressure testing.

Abstract: An apparatus for hydrostatic testing of openings in items surrounded by a flange, such as flanged pipe sections, flanged pipelines, flanged hose assemblies, as well as other flanged equipment requiring periodic pressure testing. The apparatus is clamp like device that easily can be clamped onto a flange of a flanged item to be tested, without the need for conventional nuts and bolts. The instant apparatus is more efficient and safer than conventional apparatus used for hydrostatic testing.

Abstract: A microwave breast cancer imaging method that includes an examination table that is both comfortable and reliable is provided that includes a support system and an orientation system such that breasts can remain in a fixed position to allow for scanning. A horizontal microwave and optically transparent scan plate forms part of the top of the examination table. The imprint of the breasts on the scan plate may be visually displayed to aid in the orienting of each breast such that all volumes within the breast are scanned. Microwave power is then scanned upward through the scan plate to develop a microwave response that is indicative of the presence of a lesion. After scanning, the visual imprint of the breast is recorded. As needed, microwave equipment can be included within a microwave shielded enclosure that also forms part of the scan table.
