Title: Flexible water gate
Inventor: CULLEN MARTIN
IPC: E02B7/00
Filed: 2002-12-09
Abstract: A flexible water gate is described that is suitable for retaining water in a port, canal or river estuary. The gate is both economical to build and maintain and comprises a gate controller that allows a flexible member to be controllably moved between a closed and open position, as required. A flexible flood control barrier that comprises one or more of the aforementioned flexible water gates is also described. These gates are deployed side to side and provide an economical way of providing flood protection to an area susceptible to flood tides. When not in use the flexible membranes of the flexible water gates can be stored on the riverbed so permitting unrestricted access for marine vessels.

Title: Improved slips
Inventor: AYLING LAURENCE JOHN
IPC: E21B19/07
Filed: 2003-04-01
Abstract: Slips ( 1, 21, 41 ) for engaging any jointed, coiled or flexible tubular with substantially no scoring, gouging or scraping, such as when supporting a drill string in a borehole or gripping a tubular ( 2, 22 ) during the connection or disconnection of a tool joint or pulling a cable or pipeline; additionally, applying a pre-determined minimum gripping force in order to avoid rotary slippage when the weight of the string is insufficient to achieve a conventional slips action; additionally, including a coarse wedge ( 30, 50 ) to take up the extra travel of a worn tool joint or a tubular of smaller diameter, with a means to ensure that the coarse wedge acts before the fine wedge ( 29, 49 ) does and a means to ensure that the wedging action remains if the actuating force is removed; additionally, including a secondary slips ( 40 ) to interfere with the upset on the tool joint to avoid relying on friction to support the string and a means of integrating this with the gripping slips and ensuring that the secondary slips act first; additionally, the application of these attributes 'upside down' to achieve the action of snubbing when forcing a tubular into compression instead of tension for any reason.

Abstract: By lead-ins (2) of flexible material for tight-fitting lead-in of items, preferably pipes (16) through a wall (8), including particularly circular, thin-walled and/or profiled pipes, where the same lead-in is double-acting, there are several tolerances the observance of which are decisive for whether the requirements for the sealing of an established lead-in can be met. Thus is indicated a lead-in including an internal part (18) for accommodating an item in the shape of pipe (16) and an external part (20), where the internal (18) and external (20) parts are integrated in a base (54), where between the parts (18,20) a key slot (24) is formed for interacting accommodation of a lock bushing (30) that is inserted with axial orientation in the key slot (24) whereby a relative radial displacement between the internal part (18) and the external part (20) of the bushing (4) occurs, and where the lock bushing (30) includes retainer means (32) for retaining the lock bushing (30) in the key slot (24). Hereby is formed an efficient sealing between the outer side of the bushing and the hole (6) in the wall (7), and also independence between this sealing and the sealing between the internal part (18) and the lead-in pipe (16) is provided, causing approximately cancelling of said tolerances.
