20090002704Systems and methods for remote monitoring of contaminants in fluids - A system and method of monitoring contaminant particles in pipelines. The system can include a probe for extending into a pipeline, and sampling fluid in the pipeline to ensure that a representative amount of contaminants within the pipeline can subsequently be measured. An analyzer receives the sampled fluid from the probe, illuminates the sampled fluid with a light source, and collects scattered light from any contaminant particles in the illuminated sampled fluid. A detector receives the scattered light from the analyzer, and converts the scattered light into an electrical signal that is proportional to the contaminant particles size. A processor receives the electrical signal from the detector, converts the electrical signal into digital data pertaining to the contaminant particles, and transmits the digital data on an Ethernet connection, or wireless signal to a communication network for distribution to at least one digital data processor for display and evaluation.01-01-2009

20080304224Apparatus and Methods for Automatically Positioning an Interface Module in a Rack System - Apparatus and methods for automatically positioning an interface module in a rack system are disclosed. An exemplary method includes biasing the interface module in a predetermined position. The method also includes automatically moving the interface module from the predetermined position when accessing removable blade enclosures in the rack system. The method also includes automatically returning the interface module to the predetermined position after accessing the removable blade enclosures in the rack system.12-11-2008
20100155080BIDIRECTIONAL RAM BOP AND METHOD - A ram blowout preventer for sealing a well, the ram blowout preventer including a body having a cavity with a recess; a ram block configured to move inside the cavity; a top seat disposed in the recess and configured to seal the well when in contact with the ram block; a movable lock ring extending inside a groove of the body and a corresponding groove of the top seat and configured to move inside the groove of the body, along a direction substantially parallel to the well; a first seal extending inside a groove of the top seat and configured to contact the body and the top seat; and a second seal extending inside a groove of the ram block and configured to contact the ram block and the top seat. A width of the groove of the body is larger than a width of the lock ring by a predetermined value, which is larger than normal tolerances, and a distance from a centerline of the well to the first seal is larger than a distance from the centerline of the well to the second seal.06-24-2010
20100155628Deformation Resistant Opening Chamber Head and Method - An annular blowout preventer device includes a body having a first cavity extending from a first end to a second end, the first cavity being configured to accommodate a drill line; a static head removably connected to the first end of the body and having a second cavity that is aligned with the first cavity of the body to accommodate the drill line; a piston disposed inside the first and second cavities to define an opening chamber and a closing chamber together with the static head and the body, the piston being configured to move inside the first and second cavities to squeeze a packer for sealing the first cavity from the second cavity; and an opening chamber head disposed in the opening chamber next to the static head, the body, and the piston, the opening chamber head being configured to protect a hydraulic fluid in the opening chamber from external contamination. The opening chamber head has a body having a circular shape with an inside hole, the body having a cross section along a radial direction having at least three parts, a body part having a rectangular shape, a first rib extending from a longest side of the body part, the first rib overlaying a median line of the body part, wherein the median line is substantially perpendicular to the longest side of the body part, and a second rib extending from the longest side of the body part, on the same side as the first rib, the second rib being closer to a shortest side of the body part than to the median.06-24-2010
