Patent number: 9605779Abstract: In various embodiments, a tubular comprises a tubular outer sheath defining an inner void; one or more core elements or assemblies disposed within the inner void; and a substantially solid filler in various embodiments disposed within and substantially filling the inner void, where the filler is adapted to give the tubular hoop strength in a crush situation and comprises a polymer with a density of at least 1.0. In some embodiments, these core assemblies comprise an extruded polymer layer typically extruded about core elements in a single pass, fitting about them without a sharp edge and defining an outer shape. The resulting tubular can comprise multiple regions which, though substantially filled, are filled with differing fillers densities.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2014Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Oceaneering International, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Owen Mast, Fraser Hynd Thomson, Rosianita Balena, Flavio Vasconcelos

Publication number: 20160111183Abstract: Umbilicals may contain one or more steel tubes as well as low and medium voltage electricals and/or fillers, where one or more of the steel tubes comprise both steel and a carbon fiber composite. In an embodiment, the umbilical cable comprises an outer umbilical sheath and one or more signal conduits disposed within the outer umbilical sheath. In an embodiment, the signal conduit comprises a metallic inner wall and a carbon fiber composite outer wall disposed substantially continuously about an outer surface of the metallic inner wall. One or more conductors are typically disposed within the signal conduit. One or more fillers may be disposed about the signal conduit within the outer umbilical sheath.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2015Publication date: April 21, 2016Applicant: OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventor: Stephen Owen Mast

Patent number: 6340126Abstract: Devices and methods for paying off an elongate material between two coaxially aligned packages without interruption. The elongate material from a first wound package is connected to the elongate material of a second wound package by joining the tail end of the first wound package to the head end of the second wound package. Each wound package includes the elongate material having a body portion and a tail portion wound about a core. Also, each body portion has the head end at an outer diameter of the respective package and each tail portion has the tail end at an inner diameter substantially corresponding to a diameter of the core. Further, the path of the wound elongate material is transitioned from the first wound package to the second wound package by providing transition device having a supporting surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1999Date of Patent: January 22, 2002Assignee: Corning Cable Systems LLCInventors: Warren Welborn McAlpine, Stephen Owen Mast, David Henry Smith, Joseph Varga
