Title: Method for connecting flowlines to an offshore structure and structure suitable for carrying out this method
IPC: F16L1/15
Filed: 1972-02-07
Abstract: 1366973 Underwater flowlines SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ NV 7 Feb 1972 [8 Feb 1971] 5621/72 Heading F2P A method of connecting a subaqueous flowline to an offshore structure comprises the steps of (a) Calculating at least one of the possible natural curved paths taken by the flowline when one end is supported above the ocean floor. (b) Installing a plurality of flowline securng means to the platform such that a curve drawn through the securing means is substantially the same as the (or one of the) calculated curved path(s). (c) Bringing the flowline into engagement with at least some of the securing means. (d) Fastening the flowline with the securing means. The flowline has a minimum permissible bend radius (i.e. the minimum radius possible without buckling) given by 2r<SP>2</SP> 0 /t (feet) where r 0  = outside radius of flowline (in inches) and t = the wall thickness (inches). The natural curved path chosen may be the path which incorporates the minimum permissible bend radius. In practice the flowline 18 may be laid from a laybarge 21 (Fig. 2) and have a riser portion 19 secured to, or formed by, the end thereof. A pulling head 25 connected to a drawline 26 extending from a further vessel 28 may be used to pull the riser 19 into engagement with the lowermost of the securing means 20, and subsequently into engagement with the other securing means 20 in succession. A diver may be employed to direct the pulling of the flowline and/or to tighten the securing means. The barge 28 may be dispensed with and pulling equipment may be disposed on platform 11, which platform may be either above or below the surface of the water. As shown in Fig. 1 (not shown) and Fig. 2 the securing means are on a path which over a major portion of its lenth coincides with one of the legs of the structure. Fig. 4 (not shown) shows an arrangement wherein most of the flowline securing means 20 are disposed on the cross braces.

Title: Improvements in or connected with aircraft frame structures
IPC: B64C3/18
Filed: 1936-02-27
Abstract: 471,123. Aircraft framework. VICKERS (AVIATION), Ltd., and WALLIS, B. N. Feb. 27,1936, Nos. 5885/36 and 1920 /37. [Class 4] A boom for use in cantilever aircraft structures is constructed in span-wise sections, the boom sections being constructed of multiple tubes, of uniform external size, arranged side-by-side, decreasing in number from the root of the structure outwards and being symmetrically arranged with respect to those in the root section. The tubes in each span-wise section may be varied in internal diameter along the span. In one form, Fig. 2, the boom comprises a root section A consisting of three side-by-side tubes each built up from an inner thick tube A<1> and an outer thin tube A<2>, an intermediate section B comprising two side-by-side tubes each constituted by a thick element B<1> and a thin element B<2> ; and an outer section C comprising a single tube constituted by a thick element C<1> and a thin element C<2>. In order more closely to adapt the wall thickness of the tubes to the loading, the elements constituting a tube may not only be of increasing internal diameter but the wall thickness of each element may be varied by cutting material away by progressively increasing amounts as at a<6>, a<7>, a<8>, Fig. 5. Side-by-side tubes and the elements constituting each individual tube are joined by means of serrated fish-plates engaging serrations formed on the side walls of the tubes, Fig. 11, and by bolts. The serrations may be formed with a small helical pitch. At the root-end of the boom internal distance pieces are located in the bores of the tubes and the fish-plates are extended to form spar attachment lugs. Fig. 13 shows the method of connecting the span-wise sections by fishplates h. Booms such as described may be interconnected by plate webs or warren girder bracing to form spars, the bracing members being attached to the fish-plates and the plate webs clamped between the tubes. When geodetic contour members are provided these extend between the booms and false leading and trailing edges respectively, and comprise sets of bracing members of greater depth than width twisted about their neutral axes until their depth is normal to the contour at all points, and the neutral axes of the bracing members intersect the axes of the tubes. Specifications 388,438 and 412,232 are referred to.

Abstract: 753,999. Travelling-wave tubes; particle accelerators. COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE TELEGRAPHIE SANS FIL. March 1, 1954 Feb. 27, 1953], No. 6009/54. Class 39 (1). In a travelling-wave tube the delay line comprises a first portion coupled to the input in which the input wave is amplified and a second portion in which the wave velocity is greater than the beam velocity so that the wave is attenuated and gives up most of its energy to the beam, the now highly bunched beam giving up energy to an output cavity resonator. The second portion has such a length that the wave is of negligible amplitude on arriving at the far end thereof. The delay line may be formed by a filter-type circuit, Fig. 1, comprising cavities 6 of the same length dimension and cavities 7 of progressively increasing or at least some being of constant greater length, the output being taken from cavity 10. Alternatively the delay line may be a helix, the first portion of which is of constant pitch and the second portion of which is of progressively increasing pitch, Fig. 2 (not shown). The cavities are coupled by apertures 5 and the difference between the beam and wave velocities in both portions of the line is about 10-20 per cent. In Fig. 2 (not shown), the far end of the helix is earthed and loss material surrounds the centre portion of the helix. A tuning screw may be provided in the output cavity. Specification 660,792 is referred to.

In a combined blocking and locking device in which blocking stops prevent the movement of a member from one to the other of two longitudinal extending members and locking means lock the two longitudinal members in alignment to permit the movement of the member from one so the other of the longitudinal members the locking means comprise a part fixed to one longitudinal member which upon relative movement of the longitudinal members engages slots in a disc pivoted on the other longitudinal member and the arrangement is such that the disc prevents movement of the blocking stops from the blocking position when the longitudinal members are out of alignment but when the longitudinal members are in alignment the blocking stops can be moved out of the blocking position one of the stops engaging a slot in the disc to prevent movement thereof and thereby to lock the longitudinal members in alignment. A girder 2 transversely movable relative to a fixed girder 1 carries a part 8 which engages a slot 7 in a disc 5 rotatably mounted on the girder 1 so that when the girders 1 and 2 are in alignment a rod 12 can be operated to rotate a transmission joint 9 and move stops 3 upwards, out of a position blocking the path of a trolley travelling along the lower flanges of the girders 1 and 2, and a stop 4 into engagement with another slot 7 in the disc 5 to lock the girders 1, 2 in the aligned position.
