  • Publication number: 20230374772
    Abstract: A tool for the deployment of a foldable transportable structure comprising an elongate housing, an elongate threaded worm screw rotatably mounted to the elongate housing, a slider block defining both a threaded slider passage into which is threaded the worm screw and a slider pin aperture for receiving a slider unfolding pin, and means for constraining the slider block from rotating upon rotation of the worm screw, such that the slider block translates along the length of the worm screw upon rotation thereof. A first end of the elongate housing defines a housing pin aperture for receiving a housing unfolding pin.

  • Patent number: 11441410
    Abstract: A method of separating hydrocarbons from an oil field production stream may include providing a production stream having a gas phase and a liquid phase, the production stream including oil, hydrocarbon gas, carbon dioxide, and water; substantially separating the gas phase from the liquid phase; separating the liquid phase into a stream composed substantially of oil and a stream substantially composed of water, the stream substantially composed of water containing carbon dioxide absorbed therein; pressurizing the water stream containing carbon dioxide absorbed therein; and injecting the pressurized water stream containing carbon dioxide absorbed therein to a downhole injection location; the method may include operating each step at a pressure above 150 psig.

  • Patent number: 11147529
    Abstract: A method and system for spectral adjustment for a digital X-ray imaging system. The method includes obtaining a set of initial digital X-ray images and then weight factoring the images to generate a set of weight factored digital X-ray images. The weight-factored digital X-ray images are then combined to generate a composite image that is spectrally distinct from the set of initial digital X-ray images.

  • Patent number: 10856826
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed at a method and apparatus for determining virtual outputs for a multi-energy x-ray apparatus. Based on the application that the x-ray apparatus is being used for, a general algorithm can be determined or selected. Inputs received from the x-ray apparatus can be substituted into the general algorithm to generate a virtual output algorithm for the x-ray apparatus. Virtual outputs can then be calculated using the virtual output algorithm.

  • Patent number: 9979171
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular part, an embeddable electrical box and kits formed by both. The tubular part is characterized by a rib that runs helically along its external surface, and by internal support means. The electrical box comprises the tubular part and a cup which fits together with the tubular part and which has break points and external projections. The kits facilitate the assembly of the tubular part and of the electrical box.

  • Patent number: 9909370
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for obtaining a tensile armor configuration of a flexible conduit comprising the steps of mounting an end ring engaged with the terminal region of each wire of each tensile armor, defining an initial position, which axially displaces the end ring in opposite direction to a free end of the flexible conduit, from the initial position to an end position, so as to cause flexure in the wires of each tensile armor and securing the end ring in end position, to maintain the wires of each tensile armor flexed. The present invention also proposes a connector for a flexible conduit, said connector comprising an end ring engaged with the terminal region of each wire of each tensile armor and fixed in an end position so that the wires of each tensile armor are flexed.

  • Publication number: 20160208969
    Abstract: A seal set for flexible duct connector is provided. The invention is a seal assembly for a connector of flexible duct, comprising an activation flange having a contact area acting against an activation area in a seal means due to tightening of screws so as to press such seal means against a support area. According to the invention, the seal assembly comprises a support flange in which is such support zone. Thus, in case of need of an adjustment machining in the support area to assemble a seal assembly, the part to be machined is the support flange.
