  • Patent number: 12540517
    Abstract: A pipe handler that can include a wrench assembly with a backup tong and a torque wrench, and a rotary actuator coupled to the torque wrench, wherein rotation of the rotary actuator about a second axis rotates the torque wrench about a first axis. An iron roughneck that can include a torque wrench configured to rotate about a first axis, and a rotary actuator coupled to the torque wrench, the rotary actuator having a second axis about which the rotary actuator rotates, where the second axis and the first axis are substantially parallel with each other and spaced apart from each other, and where rotation of the rotary actuator about the second axis rotates the torque wrench about the first axis.

  • Patent number: 11583710
    Abstract: A device, method and system improve the breathable air quality of the environment in the region of a specific part of a body, such as around the mouth and nose area of a person buried in an avalanche. The device includes at least one inlet, at least one pump, at least one power resource, a controller, and at least one outlet. An inlet of the pump is constructed to act as a chamber. A first end of the chamber is connected to the inlet and a second end of the chamber is an opening towards the outside of the device. When the pump is activated, the pump will provide a vacuum in the chamber and suck air from the surroundings into the pump through the second end of the chamber and the chamber.
