20090162146 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING A SUBSEA PIPELINE - The disclosure provides a system and method for installing subsea equipment, such as a pipeline and equipment associated therewith in a target area, generally having restricted overhead access. An anchor can be installed in the seabed and can include one or more sheaves. A pipeline can be provided, which can include related equipment and/or one or more coupling devices situated remotely from the anchor relative to the target area. A winch wire can be provided and is adapted to be directly or indirectly coupled across at least a portion of the target area to the pipeline. A transfer sling having a pull wire and an initiation wire can be coupled between the winch wire and pipeline to assist the winch wire pulling the pipeline into the target area and transferring a pipeline force from the sheave to the anchor independent of the sheave. | 06-25-2009 |
20090202305 | ANCHORING COLLAR - A flowline for hydrocarbon which is capable of being reeled and which is unreeled for being laid on the seabed using the reeled lay method is comprised of successive pipe sections having opposing ends which are joined by an anchor collar that is butt welded to the opposing ends. The pipe sections have a jacket on the exterior of the pipe sections, but the pipe sections are able to be reeled. Anchor collars are affixed by butt welding between the ends of adjacent pipe sections. Each anchor collar has a fixture or protrusion radially outward which has an outer diameter less than or at least not more than the outer diameter of the pipe section jacket. The flowline has the same inner diameter at the pipe sections and the collar, and the pipe has the same outer diameter as the collar, while the protrusion protrudes outward from the exterior of the collar. The flowline is anchored on the seabed by unreeling it from a spool, applying a clamp to the collar before delivering it to the seabed, and anchoring the clamp to the seabed. The jacket may expose the fixture or protrusion or may initially cover it and be removed to enable the clamping. | 08-13-2009 |

20110263523 | TET2 AS A NEW DIAGNOSTIC AND PRONOSTIC MARKER IN HEMATOPOIETIC NEOPLASMS - The present invention concerns an in vitro method for diagnosing a myeloid tumour or a lymphoid tumour in a subject, which comprises the step of analyzing a biological sample from said subject by (i) detecting the presence of a mutation in the Ten Eleven Translocation protein family member 2 gene (TET2) coding for the polypeptide having the sequence SEQ ID NO:2, and/or (ii) analyzing the expression of the TET2 gene; wherein the detection of such a TET2 mutation, of the absence of expression of TET2 or of the expression of a truncated TET2 is indicative of a subject developing or predisposed to develop a myeloid tumour or a lymphoid tumour. | 10-27-2011 |

20110008482 | SYSTEM FOR THE MANUFACTUR OF CHOPPED STRANDS MADE OF THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL - A chopping machine chops strands of thermoplastic material coming from a single die into sections having a predetermined length. The machine has a substantially cylindrical chopping wheel provided on its periphery with a number of uniformly distributed blades oriented about an axis of rotation. An anvil wheel wrapped in a plastic material is located adjacent the chopping wheel. The anvil wheel has a device for routing strands between the wheels, thereby drawing out and chopping the strands into sections. The device has two or more pins that project laterally from a face of the anvil wheel. The pins may be movable with respect to the face. A restart process using the chopping machine is also provided. | 01-13-2011 |
