| 20100202748 | hauling shroud for hauling fibre optic cable along a conduit - A hauling shroud, a cable termination and methods of hauling a fibre optic cable with a pre-connected optic termination along a conduit. The hauling shroud protects the optic termination when being hauled along the conduit. The hauling shroud includes a first housing member and a second housing member such that the first housing member and the second housing member can be joined together to enclose the optic termination. At least one anchoring member is used, for example, connecting pins, such that at least one strengthening element of the fibre optic cable engages with the anchoring member inside an internal cavity formed within the hauling shroud. Alternatively, at least two strengthening elements of the fibre optic cable are attached together to form a loop which engages with the at least one anchoring member, e.g., the connecting pins. This prevents any hauling forces from being applied to the optic termination. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110305424 | System and Device for Hauling Fibre Optic Cable Along a Conduit - A system, device, fibre optic cable and/or method for hauling fibre optic cable along a conduit to a location. The system includes a fibre optic cable including an optic fibre, at least one first strengthening element and at least one second strengthening element, an optic connector attached to the at least one first strengthening element and able to be optically aligned with the optic fibre; and, a hauling shroud, including a cavity to receive the optic connector, a locking mechanism to removably hold the at least one second strengthening element and a member for attaching a hauling rope or cable to pull the fibre optic cable along the conduit. | 12-15-2011 |

| 20090183857 | Turbulator for a heat exchanger tube, and method of manufacture - A turbulator for a heat exchanger tube, and a method of manufacturing the heat exchanger tube. The turbulator comprises a mesh, ideally a woven mesh, of material, ideally metallic wires. The mesh is formed into corrugations of a size substantially to fill the heat exchanger tube. The method comprises the steps of: making a mesh of material; forming the mesh into corrugations; and fitting the corrugated mesh into the heat exchanger tube so that the corrugated mesh substantially fills the heat exchanger tube for some or all of its length. The turbulator and method are particularly suited to flat heat exchanger tubes. | 07-23-2009 |
