Title: Attenuating tube waves in seismic well prospecting
Inventor: NAVILLE CHARLES
IPC: G01V1/46
Filed: 1994-12-16
Abstract: Tube waves propagating along a well 1 formed as a result of elastic waves applied to a surrounding formation are attenuated by introducing gas which is essentially insoluble in the fluid and sufficiently compressible to absorb a proportion of the energy carried by the tube waves. The gas is injected into fluid fed to a drill bit during well drilling and rises in the annular space between the drill string 11 and the well. The source of the elastic waves may be the drill bit itself or a source separate from the drill bit and activated after the drill bit has been removed. Alternatively, the gas is introduced into the liquid by a chemical reaction of selected constituents introduced from tanks into a reaction chamber (C, fig 3) in the well. Explosive chemical reactions in the well may also be used to introduce the gas.

Patent GB-2346357-A (GB)
Title: Reciprocating overhead conveyor apparatus
Inventor: DUCE EDWARD COLIN
IPC: B65G25/10
Filed: 1999-02-08
Abstract: A suspended rail 12 is reciprocated to and fro to cause hangers 22 suspended therefrom to move to the left, in a conveying direction as shown by arrow 26. As the hangers are moved in the conveying direction the upper end of the hangers pass beneath a series of fingers 16 to cause the fingers to be raised about their pivots 40 and then fall. When the rail 12 moves in the opposite direction to that of arrow 26 the tops of the hangers 22 abut the fingers 16 causing the hangers to remain in position whilst allowing the rail to slide back beneath the hangers. The rail 12 may be reciprocated via a piston and cylinder arrangement (Figure 4). The rail 12 may be formed such that it may bend to pass around corners or form inclined sections. The rail 12 may be formed with a rubber strip on its upper surface to encourage the movement of the hanger up an inclined portion of the rail. Alternatively, the rail 12 may be formed with spaced depressions or notches on its upper surface which again encourage the hangers 22 to move with the rail.
Patent GB-2351483-A (GB)
Title: Slotted carrier sheet
Inventor: NEWBERRY PAUL TERRENCE
IPC: B65D73/00
Filed: 1999-06-28
Abstract: A carrier sheet for use in a generally vertical position has staggered, horizontal slots 1L, 1R extending from its edges to receive upper portions of items such as bags SBL, SBR whose thickened top parts 7 prevent them from slipping though the slots. To inhibit deflection of the sheet portion above a slot relative to the sheet portion below that slot, eg owing to the weight of the bag suspended from that slot, a rib is associated with the slot, eg immediately above it. This slightly depresses the top part 7 so that it does not act in a horizontal direction through the slot. Top part 7 may be the resealable closure of the bag. A button-like part 12 may be attached (eg snap fitted in a hole) to the sheet just above the slot and towards the open end of the slot, and overlap the sheet portion just below the slot to further inhibit deflection. The sheet may be an A4 sized plastics board, 1.5 mm thick, with holes for hanging or for fitting in a ring binder.

Title: Termination of a tension member for use as a tendon for a tension leg platform
Inventor: PAULSHUS BJORN
IPC: B63B21/50
Filed: 1998-03-06
Abstract: A termination of a tension member (1), for use as a tendon or tether for a tension leg platform. The tension member (1) consists of a plurality of carbon fibre filaments gathered into one or more strands (2) in which the filaments run against one another. A sheath (3) is provided around the strands. Each strand (2) is terminated in a receiving member (6) and the receiving member (6) is suspended in a recess (12) in a suspension member (7). The strands (1) are, over an area, spread out from a bundled strand to an arrangement of the individual filaments lying apart from each other. This spread-out area is held together by a protective cone (10) which prevents the spreading out from travelling dawn the strand. The individual carbon fibre filaments (2) are inserted into respective cavities (4) in a receiving member (3) and secured therein with a solidifying substance (5). The cavities in the receiving body (3) may be through-going, or they nay be blind. Moreover, the cavities (4) may be of different configurations, from a hole of uniform diameter, an upward or downward facing conical cavity, or a gradually stepped cavity. By securing the carbon fibre filaments in this way, a good anchoring of each individual filament is ensured, as well as a longitudinal adjustment of the filaments, which gives a uniformly distributed load over the strand (1), and that in the main only axial forces are applied to the individual carbon fibre filaments (2).

Patent IL-76884-A (IL)
IPC: F04B9/02
Filed: 1985-10-30
Abstract: In a drive mechanism of the type where a rotating drive wheel deforms and partly works into engagement with a rod of deformable material to axially displace the rod as the drive wheel rotates, the drive wheel is a wheel (15) which is provided with worm threads (17) and whose axis of rotation is substantially parallel with the said rod (11). According to the invention, such a structure results in an unprecedented great metering accuracy with indication of very small doses from e.g. an injection syringe (13) whose plunger (14) is driven by said rod (11). The invention is characterized in that the worm threads work into the deformable material of the rod under the action of essentially completely continuous forces. The preferred embodiment comprises two worms (in Fig. 4 behind the worm (17) on the opposite side of the rod (11) driven by their respective shafts (19), which are driven by a common worm (22) via helical toothed wheels (21). An antibackup roller (12) placed in an opening cover (27) serves to press the rod (11) down between the two worms so as to provide some wedge effect. Complete balance in the mechanism is obtained because the two worms rotate in the opposite direction.
