Patent GB-2177995-A (GB)
Title: Marine umbilical connection arrangement
Inventor: MANK JAMES LEON
IPC: E21B19/00
Filed: 1985-07-19
Abstract: An umbilical connection arrangement between a sub-sea control station 15 and floating vessel stationed above it permits connection to be maintained for high amplitude vessel heave, i.e. greater than +/-3 metres, by suspending the umbilical 16 from a rotationally fixed winch reel of high amplitude support means 17 in a free-deployment mode, with excess umbilical streaming of hanging in the water and accommodating large heave motion by alternately slackening or tautening, but defining a large deployment envelope 20. Such an envelope inhibits work-over operation in low amplitude conditions, i.e. heave less than +/- metres, in which divers or equipment, lowered to the control station risk entanglement with the umbilical within the deployment envelope. To permit work-over, the excess length of connected umbilical is winched onto the support means 17 and low amplitude support means 21, including a subsidiary winch, attaches a clamp to the deployed umbilical and raises it to be supported by, and suspended from, a constant tension device 22. This device reciprocates the support position to compensate for low amplitude vessel motion and the tensioned umbilical deployment 23 is much reduced. Transfer between the two modes of deployment is effected without breaking the umbilical connection. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus and method for chemical vapor deposition using an axially symmetric gas flow
Inventor: DEBOER WIEBE B
IPC: C23C16/44
Filed: 1986-10-06
Abstract: In a chemical vapor deposition chamber, an improved technique for providing deposition materials to the growth surface is described in which the gas carrying deposition materials is constrained to have axial symmetry thereby proving a uniform deposition of materials on the substrate. As illustrated in Fig. 4 the gas can be initially directed toward the substrate (10) with a generally uniform perpendicular velocity. The gas can be introduced into the deposition chamber through a multiplicity of apertures (74) and is extracted from the vicinity of the substrate (10) in a manner to preserve the axial symmetry. The apparatus permits convenient control of the deposition process by varying the distance between apparatus introducing the gas carrying the deposition materials and the substrate. The flow of gas minimizes the problems arising from autodoping of the growth layer of material. The flow of gas and generally small size of the deposition chamber minimize particulate contamination of the growing film. <IMAGE>
